KATE BUSH-THIS WOMAN'S WORK-WOGAN-BBC 1-.DEC. 6. 1989.

Kate Bush performs 'This Woman's Work' on Terry Wogan's show.

[@Brian-sh2gi]

This could be the single most perfect song in human history.

[@jaysonwilliams371]

It is😢❤❤❤❤😊😅😮😢

[@e55at]

IMO the live Maxwell cover was haunting. Absolutely beautiful.

[@Depression2Faith]

100%😉

[@carlix8035]

Not quite…. But it is up there as pretty much perfect for the time. If she’d written it with 100% real instruments from the get go… I’d give 20/10. The melody and lyrics are timeless. The production isn’t unfortunately imo.

[@WarrenBridges-um5cg]

@@e55at Too much insincere, cheesy, R&B showboating.

[@mariuszurbaniak9782]

She was ahead of her time. This is a fact. Amazing artist

[@chrisharro]

It has to said that this generation has never produced a woman like Kate.

[@WarrenBridges-um5cg]

@@chrisharro Even our own generation had never produced a woman like Kate. Never mind this one.

[@gabehill-harriss9022]

I guess some people don't see the raw, exposed ,emotional beauty in a song like this because they have the emotional depth of a muddy puddle, which makes me sad for civilization... Some people don't identify with real empathic emotions, can't communicate them, dismiss them. They just don't relate. It's human behaviour and the world at large...unfortunately. I do get a bit deep. This literally makes me cry instantly..and I'm not ashamed of it.. Just perfection. Kate Bush is an incredible woman that effortlessly displays real beauty and delicate emotion both inside and out...❤

[@davel6623]

Which is why trump still leads a political party. I chuckle when civilized and world are used together.

[@londonwilde]

I think people can reach this emotional depth but are too afraid to do so. As if they would appear weak by showing their true selves.

[@kimp2994]

Such a beautiful song. The lyrics resonate so much. What an amazing voice - one of my favourite live performances of all time ❤

I was surprised to read that it only peaked at #25 in the charts at the time but then I remembered it's Kate Bush & everyone already had the album because when Kate releases an album you don't wait, you rush out to get it straight away because you know it will be exceptional.

@alistairsmith5555 Yep. It's all karaoke after Kate.

[@Easternsidetothewest]

This song has definitely stood the test of time. Hadn’t heard it before the movie “a man called Otto.” Sometimes when there’s a song so beautiful I check the X factor auditions to see if anyone can compare, no one did. What an absolutely fantastic song, fantastic artist. Thank you for sharing your beautiful voice with the world miss Kate Bush.

[@hendrickrawane4731]

I knew this song from Maxwell but the one in the Movie was more emotional. I had tears running down my chick and brought a lot f thoughts. The memories

what a beautiful song this has something from the man with the Child in his eyes. verry beautiful. art everything she did. now i have no idea. only that i know she is married with children. and because of stranger things running up that hill. people listen to her music again. i dont no if she likes the attention again but she will get money for it. i dont think she did everything for money. i hope not. i dont think so. she deserves credit for everything she does did. i wish her well.

Kate Bush is epic. :.)

not quite a Donahue but not a million miles away. Wogan was more lighthearted, generally, on his radio show and other appearances he was legit funny.

Back then Wogan was a bit of a British institution on the BBC with Irish wit and charm. Chat shows, TV quiz shows and his irreverent take on the yearly Eurovision Song contest!
