My wife passed away from breast cancer in December, aged 44. I came across this song and it destroys me. It makes me realise how brave and strong she was throughout the pregnancy and birth of our three sons. How amazing and loving she was as a wife and mother. I wish we'd had more time together. I miss her so much. 😔

[@Ilovestrangerthings011]

Hii, I feel sorry for you. I’m sure she’s in a happy place now. When you listen to this song just imagine her being strong and powerful. Because that’s what she was and what she should be remembered as. You should see her life as something amazingly beautiful and so is your life! Enjoy it. I send you all my strength and love!

Sorry for your loss

[@MusicIsMyReligionChannel]

When my son passed away in 2013, I was severely stricken with grief, as a coping mechanism I would play this song over and over as like a dedication to my son, parts of the song reminded me of him, especially when she sing give me that little kiss, give me your hand, reminded me when my son was little and I would pick him up from daycare and his eyes would lite up when he saw me and have this big smile on his face and he would run over to me and give me a little kiss and grab my hand and we would walk back to the car holding hands to go home. Music has a way of tearing at your soul, that’s how you know a song like this is a masterpiece when you can relate on a deeper conscious level. Thank you Kate for leveling me up in so many beautiful ways!!!Blessed Be!!! ❤️❤️❤️

This song is very personal and precious to me. Back in 1993 after already having 2 miscarriages, my wife all of a sudden was feeling excruciating pain in her stomach. We hurried to the Hospital ER and she was found to be bleeding internally and she was filled with blood. The ultrasound revealed she had an ectopic pregnancy. As she was taken to O.R. for surgery I was sent to the waiting room as they told me she had lost quite a lot of blood and would need at least 2 blood transfusions. I waited and worried as it seemed for hours. I had already loved Kate Bush and this song for years and so it continued to play in my head over and over and over again as I cried and worried for the life of my dear wife. It really got me through a really tough ordeal. Almost 30 years later (and 3 other high risk pregnancies' resulting in C sections), we have 6 wonderful children ( and 2 grand-daughters). This song still means so much to me and makes me cry almost every time I hear it !!!! Women indeed sacrifice so much in order to bring life into this world.

Just watched it twice...wasn't gonna watch it cause I had my fill of Tom Hanks, lol. It's not like he needs another Oscar but the movie does. It was a great movie and Oscar worthy considering what and who they give Oscars to and for...a real story line that is serious, true to life, funny at times, tinged with melancholia and some sadness, but overall it's just a nice movie, and a movie of complicated relationships of who & how we effect one another. It's the best movie I've seen in awhile. At first I thought is was Tori Amos singing & then Wuthering Heights came to mind, and I knew it was none other than Kate Bush; her haunting voice added to the melancholy & sadness of the scene.

This video is an absolute masterpiece in its own right. Directed by Kate Bush herself, I think we really need to give huge credit and respect to actor Tim McInnerny. Best known for his comic roles such as Lord Percy and Captain Darling in Blackadder, here McInnerny shows greater depth, emotional intensity and heartbreak in three and a half minutes than some actors do in their entire career. Hugely underrated actor!

[@saratoole9907]

I was an original Kate fan. Found her first album in the Wax and Facts in Atlanta. I was 13 years old. Her music was the soundtrack of my life from that point forward. God bless her.

[@motog5s477]

Wow! Tim McInnerny [Captain Darling] knows how to act an emotional scene! What a beautiful piece of music.

I don't think he gets enough credit for this video. What a fantastic actor.

Of all of Kate's songs this hits closest to home. I've sat in the waiting room waiting to hear about my wife. I've also sat besides her during chemo treatments not knowing how things would turn out. I couldn't count the number of times this song ran through my mind. Life is too short to take anyone granted. This song says what I though during those times. I'm blessed that she is still around.

[@delby66]

I'm so happy for you mate. There is nothing more precious than the love you have for your partner. I know you will, but keep telling her how much you love her and how precious she is to you. I'm 66 and I do that more than once everyday with my wife. She helped me get through some trying times in my past, especially when I had a heart attack 6 years ago. She's the love of my life and I cherish every minute of the day, knowing that she's right there beside me even when she's not actually there. This year will be our 37th wedding anniversary and our 40th year together and I'm so happy I met her as I'm sure you feel the same about your wife. I wish you and her all the best for the rest of your lives.

[@MyEckythump]

I understand my mum was my life and I loved her so much, she died when I was sixteen sometimes I would allow myself to put aside the need to be okay and just let go of all the sadness it hurt so much and to allow yourself to feel that is a brave thing, to let the sadness wash over you like a rough wave ready to crush you down to sand, to physically feel the strength leave your body and be replaced with a feeling of lost hopelessness it's a kind of healing pain that I thank you for reminding me of because I never want to forget how that felt just as much as I don't want to forget the moments when my mum was alive. Thank you X P.s sorry this is so long but I'm a bit of a rambler believe it or not this has been shortened a good bit.
