Kate Bush - This Woman's Work (1988) [Women That Ruled The 80s] DayOne Reacts

[@anthonyblakely399]

Kate Bush is one of my all-time favorite artist!!! "Moments of Pleasure" by Kate Bush is a masterpiece song that you must hear. This song is flawless!!!

[@philipmulville8218]

It’s impossible not to be moved by this beautiful song. Kate is a uniquely talented artist. Great, honest review. ❤

[@alasdairmacaulay7819]

In the UK she is loved and admired as a national treasure.

[@jasonhill7606]

Amazing❤

[@jeremybertocki9536]

There is something so unbelievably beautiful about this song. I cry every ending. I can't stop it from happening.

[@genesmiley9866]

I've known this song for 30 years and it still brings me to tears every time.

[@genergia]

Probably the greatest woman pop artist of all times.❤

[@mattparks2153]

Agreed!

[@warrenbridges1891]

@genergia Great writer and producer. Have every album.

[@soultraveller5027]

I, disagree with the word;[pop] to me it denotes a throw away cheap song, through i never meant make less of pop bands that emerge and flourished very successfully in the 80s all had their moment, as well as they should . However, bush was a set apart first capturing the likes of david gilmour of floyd hearing her wuthering heights recording and helped her career by opening up a few doors in the industry she was never a pop artist through . She ,wrote sang , composed, and produced all her songs for as i'm aware, from my first introduction to kate bush in 1980 ''never for ever'' album , its fair to say kate put her heart and soul and passion into her work, not the manufactured bands that were certainty around then and now. And i'm sure you never meant to convey that impression, That, said she was in the world of a explosion of ''pop'' culture that took off as well as the traditional classic rock, heavy metal, punk rock so and so on ,the best era of music in all the music genres of the time. she is a singular unique female artist that cannot be compared to any female artist before or since

[@gromwhite]

Not probably, definitely ❤

[@soultraveller5027]

@genergia My only quibble with your statement. Kate Bush was a "pop" artist. kate Bush was never a POP artist ""Madonna'' was a pop artist for sure. kate bush stood alone in the music industry as a artist she wrote produced did only music arrangements was her doing she was of such talent that pink Floyd David gilmour who was sent a tape was so impressed with her that he 'helped' her have her songs put on tape professionally even attending g the studies at Abbey road where the beatles had there songs produced he was a big inspiration and influenced in her music career

There are only two composers that choke me up. Kate Bush and Tori Amos. This song, and Kates"Moments of Pleasure": and Tori's "Winter" and "China" are my kryptonite.

Please don't worry, my wife died of cancer 2 years ago, believe me after 32 years together, you can't help but cry... It's all part of the process they never leave you

[@IILockNLoadII]

This song was written/sung by Kate Bush for a specific scene in the movie "She's Having a Baby" It's a comedy, but there is a serious scene when the leading lady is having a baby and the baby is breached.....

[@ricric9521]

Loss or the real threat of losing someone is the single most painful experience in our human existence. This song exposes and examines that part of you and our humanity more than any song I can think of.

[@col4022]

Such an emotive song. kate is a master of expression, both lyrically and vocally. This is another one of my favourites of hers, it's way too short but so so beautiful kzbin.info/www/bejne/ina7m5SYfsx3f8ksi=OkuYZ3uMinHpxXn2

[@forlorndream1400]

Last year I had major surgery. I woke up in CCU the next morning. Shortly afterwards I crashed and a team of nurses fought to save me . A few hours later my wife was allowed in to see me. We've been married for 20+yrs and I've always been the strong, capable ex-soldier to her. I saw the look on her face when she walked into the room, it was fear and that was what broke me. That was last year. I've worked hard to regain my fitness and strength. Still that look haunts me.

[@richardhargrave6082]

Angela, your reaction is wonderful and honest. I appreciate that, you're right, when your partner is ill it breaks you many times. Kate is a national treasure, doesn't jut rule the 80's, she still rules! This is such a powerful song, part of it was used as the background for an advert for a children's abuse charity, it s perfect and even in a short time had people in tears, including me. Keep playing Kate Bush, we'll never get tired of it

[@silgen]

This was written for the John Hughes movie "She's Having a Baby". Here it is in the scene it was written for: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnuogWmwhcmXe8U

Kate is a legend. Everything she's done is always worth listening to.

[@hindlewalker9330]

Never an easy listen for me but Kate bush is just the best. England's finest

[@philthemovieguy81]

The song by itself gets me emotional. Listening to the song while watching the video, I’m balling.

[@Tevoro1962]

I remember the first time I saw Kate's video for this song. I'd seen the movie "She's Having a Baby" and had already cried my eyes out over her beautiful song, but when I saw Kate's video with the re-recorded version, it cut right through my soul like a machete. The end, when she closes the piano, left me unable to inhale for a good 30 seconds.

[@SuziQ499]

Kate Bush is unique her music speaks for itself she does not need to be a drama queen or create a scandal like many modern day artists.

[@trinaq]

This video and song make me tear up every single time. They leave the wife's fate ambiguous, which is even more heartbreaking, and was used effectively in "She's Having a Baby."

[@affenschwanz64]

If you look closely, the nurse at the end is smiling and man is showing relief.

[@Scary__fun]

For people who know that the song is about a woman in child birth who at risk of her own life and for delivering the baby, it hits even harder as in the line "I know you have a little life in you yet" can refer to both the baby and the suffering mother. The beauty and emotion in Kate's voice just touches me every time i listen to this song.

[@christopherhuot2826]

This song was featured in the 88 movie "SHE'S HAVING A BABY " starring Kevin Bacon and Elizabeth McGovern. Very touching and funny too😅😊

[@jdub2591]

This song was used in the movie She’s having a baby with Kevin Bacon. The scene is similar to the music video in some ways makes me wonder if the scene from the movie was based on this music video or vice versa? Either way, her haunting voice and melody is used very well.

[@MrMondo-xf2ji]

The song was written specifically for the movie.

[@Flatwoodsdad]

Kate Bush is a completely unique artist. She's also a dancer. Because you mentioned interpretive you might want to react to her "Running Up That Hill" The official video. Her dance sequence (it's most of the video) is amazing. And it's an 80's song that reentered the charts last year and went to number 1. Thanks for the reaction.

[@MikeWadeUK21]

Thanks you - you really get the song, and Kate’s power. This is one song that always makes me cry

[@swtp32]

One of my favorite songs from 30 years ago, and I am still balling every single time. Her delivery is so sweet, moving and so beautiful.

[@s12856]

That tense build up at the end with the chorus of screaming Kates at the climax really hit me out of nowhere the first time I ever heard this. Full noise cancelling headphones and everything. Really haunting. Thought that bit might get you.

[@natasharoper3957]

The handmaid's tale played this during a very heartbreaking scene! Phenomenal

[@colrhodes377]

I would suggest Kate Bush and Peter Gabriel singing Don't give up, and Kate singing Moments of pleasure. Both will need tissues at the ready.

[@patcow9999]

Lovely heartfelt reaction, Angela. I agree this is a great song. The actor is Tim McInnerny of Notting Hill, Black Adder fame. The album is fantastic too.

Angela: Thank you for not canning this video due to its technical problems. We would have missed such a heartfelt and honest reaction. Kate is Kate.

[@barrykeleher2659]

I’ve always loved Kate's music ever since she released her first album, The Kick Inside, in the late 70s. This song, and especially this video, have always haunted me with its tragic beauty. The first time I happened to hear it after my wife died a few years ago, it absolutely CRUSHED me, and it's been very hard for me to listen to it since without breaking down. Thank you for your thoughtful input. I hope you go on to listen to Kate's music and come to really appreciate her special place in the world of music and the world at large.

[@davids2096]

I don't have any words! I believe a lot of times men and women feel the same way about certain topics, but men seem to be conditioned, in most cases, to suppress their feelings and emotions! I am of the opinion that everyone should be able to vent when they really need to! I got very sad 😢 and nostalgic while hearing this song, and am not afraid 😟😳 to admit it! 😃 Great reaction, and in case I didn't mention it before, you are my favorite reaction channel! I better 🛑 stop! Bye!

Great reaction. Kate Bush's music and video is so powerful and captures the tragedy that is possible from that moment. Tears. Clearly, you understand completely. Isn't she incredible?

[@Cloudbuster.]

Beautiful reaction to a beautiful song! We’d love to see more Kate! Songs like Babooshka and Running Up That Hill are still really popular today & Wuthering Heights is probably the most iconic debut single I’ve ever heard! Moments of Pleasure is the most similar to This Womans Work, so if you can emotionally handle another deep piano ballad, there you go haha!

Oh bless you when u started to cry… I feel you girl it just hits like that

[@tommydevlin702]

Hi and thanks so much for such a heartfelt reaction video. I am glad that you 'enjoyed' it so much and can well understand why you found it difficult even if it really is beautiful. I do too. There is so much about this song that comes within the description of extraordinary. Kate Bush actually wrote this song upon request. She was approached and asked to write this song for a movie in relation to footage that had already been filmed. And she gave us this wonderful song. She wrote it, plays on it, sings it, produced it, and even directed the video. One Us based journalist recently called this song a: “bravura vocal performance from […] one of the greatest voices and songwriters of the last century” Brandon Flowers from 'The Killers' said of it: “It’s one of the most powerful pieces of music that I’ve encountered, […] It was in [the 1988 John Hughes movie] She’s Having a Baby when I was little, and even then I knew, like, I really like this song. And now that I’m older, it just sticks with me. It’s perfect […] It just affects me." It really is just perfect. I regard it as unbearably perfect, because she wrote it deliberately to tear your heart out, and it does. It tears mine out every single time. There are some other songs on this album by Kate Bush that really ought to be heard: "The Sensual World" taken from the famous novel "Ulysses" by James Joyce "reaching Out" where Kate Bush shows just what a singer she really is "Deeper Understanding" written before the Internet really became a thing but she anticipates the idea of people becoming so isolated that they retreat from the world to their only 'friend' - their computer "Heads We're Dancing", based on a true story of someone inadvertently finding themselves in the company of Oppenheimer who created the atomic bomb, and so Kate Bush set out to try to write a song about unwittingly a monster. She thought about who would be the worst monster to meet and how what would be a disconcerting way to meet him. So she wrote a song about inadvertently meeting and dancing with Hitler at a party. And then there is the magnificent song "Rocket's Tail" where she creates what it might be like to actually be a firework in the middle of a fireworks display - and it is just wonderful. Thanks again for such a touching and enjoyable reaction video.
