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. 😔

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.

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.

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.

You say her voice is childlike like that's necessarily a bad. thing, and even though no child has ever sounded like her. you may have some genuine reasons to dislike her , but those are not legitimate reasons. as far as her personality, and musical knowledge, that's so far beyond music criticism, that's it's no wonder people took you for King Troll now, try again

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.

I'm so glad Kate is still alive and can see her music becoming outrageously popular 3 decades later. I got into Kate because of The Handmaid's Tale season 2, and have loved her ever since! and now because of Stranger Things she's exploding again with a brand new generation. Amazing!

[@shawnerz98]

It is. The Jig of Life has always been my favorite from Hounds of Love. But I saw a meme that says US is in a proxy war with Russia. Top Gun is the Top Movie, and Kate Bush is at the top of the charts. It's like someone said, "Let's do 1986 over again!" " :) :0

[@mreunome]

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.

I remember arriving there and seeing all the parents trying to find their kids. There was a tree where they put all of the names of the kids they were trying to locate. I remember a father holding a piece of paper with his child’s name. José Eduardo Huerta... Later that night they published a list of names of some of the kids that died in there and that name was in there... For some reason I remember this song playing in my head...

For the past 5 years, I’ve felt like I’ve been forgetting a lot about her, until this song came up one day and reminded me of every ounce of pain from the depression I went through after she passed away.
