Kate Bush - Moments Of Pleasure | REACTION

[@markiew6459]

This song has never failed to reduce me to tears in the most magical, tender way. The fact that she referenced her mother's saying "Every old sock, meets an old shoe" when her mother was very ill at the time of recording and later passed away is heart-rending along with the role call off all those she loved and lost that span around her in the snow....some just out of reach leaves me breathless. Such beauty...."Just being alive, it can really hurt. These moments given are a gift from time. Just let us try to give these moments back, to those we love, to those who will survive".....so beautiful. Thank you for reacting to this gorgeous song.

[@PancakeMarshmallowDude]

Thank you for watching!

That was very well put ❤️" Being alive can really hurt "I lost my very best friend since I was age 4! It still hurts xxxx

[@prd1073]

This song never fails to take me and rip me apart with the cleansing emotions of nostalgia and the sheer beauty filled pain of living.

[@johnmcintosh5413]

Your drawn too here by your soul that’s your connection with her as a phenomenal artist she’s hit the emotional note inside you

[@StratsRUs]

😊One of her best...and her best are many and wide-ranging.

[@irishfergal]

Kate Bush slays. She takes no prisoners. Her appreciation in the US has been waiting for 40 years. And here it is, sweet and gentle, and fierce.

[@petermullen5479]

This is the best Kate song She's reminiscing about family and friends She's lost but happy about the family and friends she currently loves❤❤ The piano backing makes this a perfect piece!! Love it and of course kate❤❤❤

[@MrSeanPiggott]

Such a body of work but this track feels like a pinnacle. Her voice is exquisite. This track reduces me to tears every time.

[@nikkicarrington9365]

The reference to Bill at the end was for a lighting manager at one of early shows, who fell to his death, which deeply affected Kate for a long time, and yes she is unbelievable.

[@CheekyMofo7722]

Always loved your reactions of Kate. Isn’’t she amazing? So glad you got her! 😍

[@mooshygirl]

This one always brings me to tears….it’s about all the people she has loved and lost 🥲”…just being alive can really hurt” no one writes like her

[@Just-a-guy926]

There’s no other artists like Kate Bush, a true original talent.

[@W0rdsandMus1c]

I think this shows just what a beautiful voice she has :)

[@evanbernier233]

I just wanted to add some information for you about the people Kate memorializes in this song. Obviously, there's her mother Hannah, who I believe was ill with cancer at the time of recording and died shortly after. The others, mentioned during the "snowy" scene at the end of the video, are: - Maureen: Kate's aunt - "Bubba": Gary Hurst, one of her dancers from the 1979 tour, who died of AIDS in 1990 - "'S Murph": her guitarist Alan Murphy, who also died of AIDS in 1989 - "Teddy": John Barrett, assistant engineer at Abbey Road Studios for the albums Never for Ever and The Dreaming - Michael: Michael Powell, director of the 1948 film The Red Shoes, which inspired the album - Bill: Bill Duffield was a young lighting engineer who tragically fell to his death in a freak accident on the '79 tour

[@Missjunebugfreak]

You nailed the aspect of Kate's music which drew me to her immediately; the whimsicality. She's such a special artist. I love your appreciation of her. And I love your hair and makeup. 💜

[@PancakeMarshmallowDude]

Thank you so much!!

[@WeaselKing1000]

This is one of the three of her songs that have been known to make me cry, along with 'This Woman's Work' and 'Under the Ivy'. The 'hills of time' section at the end where she says goodbye to people she had recently lost, along with Bill Duffield at the very end, is devastatingly beautiful.

[@dianelindsay4695]

Kate made a short film called The line the cross and the curve. It's based around the songs from her album The red shoes, this is one of the songs and why there was talking at the beginning of it. The title song The red shoes, Lily and Eat the music are just some of the great tracks from it, well worth a listen 🙂

[@kylelooper2156]

This song would not be out of place as the centerpiece song in a Broadway musical. There's such a theatrical quality to it.

[@FranceGall4Ever]

Besides that Kate's genius musician, vocalist, producer, arranger, a LEGEND, she's so feminine and such a beautiful woman. Her movements are so fluid and graceful. Especially in this video. This song is a gem (like each one of her songs) and it's so moving - I'm in tears everytime I listen to it.😄♥️ Greetings to you from Poland and thank you for your nice reaction. 😀

[@PancakeMarshmallowDude]

Thank you for watching!

[@robertjewell9727]

Yes. Honest and straightforward is exactly right. She's not disguising anything and the way she composed the music with its sweeping yet quiet emotion is a sonic sharing of real remembrances.

[@christelford63]

Beautiful song alongside a thoughtful reaction.

[@PancakeMarshmallowDude]

Thank you!

[@lewismaddox4132]

Kate won't let anyone die. They never die if they are alive within you. People who altered the course of your life by being kind enough to give you some of their precious time should be held dearly in your heart and memory. Try to remember their stories and the experiences shared, or at least their unique smiles and laughter. They're still alive, forever.

[@danieltaunton937]

I know right...its beyond EVERYTHING and more ❤

[@richardperrett5380]

I’ve been waiting for you to get to this, possibly my favourite Kate track ever

[@PancakeMarshmallowDude]

The time has come! 😊

[@craigmartin3827]

Mine too, Richard. I cannot say why but every single time I hear it I tear up. I adore all of KB’s music but this one always hits me where I live.

[@willowmallow]

The first bit of odd dialogue is an excerpt from the red shoes-inspired movie she made. It only makes sense in that context. On the album, there is no dialogue.

[@Oddworld2024]

Loved your reaction for this song. So beautiful right! Also loved your Look. Total fabulous.

[@PancakeMarshmallowDude]

Thank you so much!!

[@gabbyjaime6279]

I tear up every time I see the music video ❤️ great reaction

[@PancakeMarshmallowDude]

Thanks for watching!

[@antonmedvedev1128]

Oh, lovely ❤😊 I notice you've grown quite keen on Kate's music and visuals 😇 The Red Shoes is one of my favourite albums of hers. There's a short film 🎬 with some songs turned into videos, there's a story line that connects the songs... It is a journey to hell and back... I guess you should see it one day too ☺ Thank you for spending the time with Kate 👍🤝

[@PancakeMarshmallowDude]

Thank you for watching! ❤️

[@DamonBowles]

Probably my favourite Kate Bush song of all, and there's some tough competition. It's like the last word on everything, the sum total of what - in the end - we each amount to and what matters most in life when all is said and done.

[@iceberg2691]

Always have and always will be a huge fan of Kate Bush

[@paulhendy9901]

So glad you finally reacted to this epic song, next listen should be Under The Ivy Love your reactions to her work, she’s the best person to go with on a musical and visual journey.

[@PancakeMarshmallowDude]

Thank you!

[@karenleedom3354]

[@googoobh]

So nice to see how you appreciate Kate Bush and you make very valid points ... very nice really

[@PancakeMarshmallowDude]

Thank you for watching! 😊

[@mcolford]

It's a song about all the loved ones she has lost. All the people she mentions at the end are true people, and she had lost her mother during the recording of this album. It's a beautiful and very special song. So glad you listened to it!

[@PancakeMarshmallowDude]

Such a gorgeous song. Thank you for watching!

[@NorthernFella]

Thanks for your reaction, I am huge Kate fan as well. I think she looks so beautiful in this video and this track can bring me to rtears. Its one of my favs from her the other being Hounds of Love.

[@PancakeMarshmallowDude]

Thank you for watching!

[@michaelberlin7493]

Have you tried Eat the music? It is the last song were she sings the last symbol back.

[@PancakeMarshmallowDude]

Yes, I have reacted to it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnawqIOImZJlZ7c

[@garycoates4987]

she has the loveliest voice of all time,,, I'd request you react to some of her live videos

[@Millennial_Manc]

A few years ago I had my closest relatives die, then was on the cusp of losing my job after being accused of something I hadn’t done. I went on a downward spiral and was ready to check out, but ended up in a psych ward for 6 weeks instead. Most of the 6 weeks was spent in bed listening to Moments of Pleasure, the Hounds of Love album, and Annie Lennox’s ‘Bare’ album. That album is very heavy and doesn’t have any promo videos as her mother died just as it was released, then Lennox caught flu and couldn’t sing to promote it. Lennox herself was in a very bad place when she wrote it so it was just what I needed at that time in my life to unravel and make sense of the contents of my head, and eventually plan an escape route. It’d be exaggerating to say these records saved my life, but they definitely aided my recovery. Only Kate Bush could write a miserable song about everyone who she’s adored who has died, and release it as a single. The world would be more austere without her in it. Fun fact - that little microphone that hooks on pop stars ears and sits in front of their mouth was invented for Kate Bush with her direction, as she wanted to be able to dance in her 70s concerts without holding a mic.

[@zerdanphunrab]

I hope you someday hear Prince play guitar on Kate's "Why Should I Love You?"

[@joecampos5624]

She was in NYC...look it up on SNL...it was the first time I seen her around 1979 78 not sure exactly

[@sublimebeauty1]

Beautiful song ❤️

[@PancakeMarshmallowDude]

Thanks for watching!!

[@williamtell29]

Again, I've liked the video before watching...adore this track and I know you will too.

[@PancakeMarshmallowDude]

Thank you so much!!!

[@soph-mc5wf]

UR MAKEUP IS SO GOOD OMG

[@PancakeMarshmallowDude]

Thank you so much!!

[@maahtcancelstheuniverse5922]

I subscribed because you reacted to Kate Bush, the beautiful, majestic, one an only.

[@PancakeMarshmallowDude]

Thank you very much!

[@olliehutchins584]

Thanks for the gorgeous Kate reactions still live for it....I’m still waiting for you to do Kirsty MacColl 😝 she’s an equally great British singer/songwriter

[@PancakeMarshmallowDude]

Thanks for watching!

[@ytcarol]

Yours was a great reaction!

[@PancakeMarshmallowDude]

Thank you so much!!

[@luanhylario5882]

Love it ❤️

[@PancakeMarshmallowDude]

Thanks for watching!

[@Iterr]

Moments of pleasure she’ll always remember… of her dead loved ones. AIDS and other diseases, addiction, natural causes… 😢😢😢

[@evanbernier233]

Hey, I love your reaction videos! I think you should do The Big Sky next. I know you've heard the song already, but I think you'll really enjoy the music video. :)

[@feigekv]

It's not really a personal lyric. The album is a musical version of the Red Shoes (movie & story). The character has been forced to dance (to death) in magic shoes. I think you'd like the movie

[@cheyennebritbrat]

wooo hooo youre lookin good there

[@PancakeMarshmallowDude]

Thanks!!

[@carstens.1844]

look to the to the hole Movie THE RED SHOES

[@garycoates4987]

I believe her most recent music video was used in her live show "and dream of sheep" from the BEFORE THE DAWN shows 2014 I'd really really love it if you'd react to that kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWOYZ6uabrNlbdE
