You can have your preference but I prefer Maxwell. Maxwell changes the POV to a guy's view. He conveys regret, introspection, and a willingness to change. Objectively though Maxwell's version is more difficult. His smooth falsetto's are harder to do. I do like Kate's version but objectively from a musicality standpoint Maxwell's is better.

On "Pull Out The Pin" she's a North Vietnamese soldier tracking his target, an American GI. On "Ran Tan Waltz" she's a cuckolded man. She empathises with just about anyone and anything. On "Breathing" she's an unborn foetus.

As a result, I didn’t see things like MTV or VH1 very much unless I was at someone else’s house. But I will say I did really like the artwork on her album covers. But over the course of her album releases I mainly just heard her songs. And I’m glad because her songs often have that amazing ability to touch me at an emotional and subliminal level of my own. I’ll see the videos on KZread and often I find myself not that interested in watching what she came up with to accompany her music. There are a few exceptions, like Wow. But for the most part, the music, the images and feelings they evoke are more than enough for me. For instance, Blow Away when I heard it called up memories from when I was around six and the feelings I had then when I was that age. I don’t know why. Moments of Pleasure leave me with a more valedictory sense of looking back over my life with a sad mellow feeling of nostalgia.

With all due respect to your valid opinion, I was actually surprised at myself for how much I Disliked Maxwell's interpretation. After typing what I just wrote above I went back and Truly watched and paid attention to his version of her song. First: I have to say that man has a set of pipes on him! What talent!! I think what turned me off about him is that he deviated from the original too much, and with that he left out a lot of key emotion. I say this as someone who found this song as a 16 yr old back in 1988, which was an emotional period in my life and this song had a massive impact. Looking at it again with an objective heart today, I will say that it is good- but to truly experience the true depth of the soul of the song, Kate's version is exactly the way it was intended. I've heard many other attempts however, and I agree that his is the best of the covers.

Kate the Great. Wrote the music and lyrics, played the piano, sang all lead and background vocals, and directed the accompanying music video. She's a genius.

this was a hit song with her fans but not the kind you'd hear on the radio or anywhere. She's nothing less than amazing. Her own sound.

* The world has ever produced

I love to see someone appreciate Kate Bush, I have always loved her music. You are a lovely enthusiastic man XX😘

Kate Bush is my number one ☝️ female artist since 1978 🤗

The pain she expresses in this song breaks me every time.

Actually when you watch "This woman's work" music video Kate is with her loved one having dinner and all of a sudden she collapses, then they are in the hospital and she seems to be very ill "touch and go" for a bit and she comes outside her body and is observing and watching her loved one "heartbreak" thinking he is losing her. She is saying the words in this song to him as she follows him around and in the waiting room. Then he gets the news she is going to make it. This is Kate's "Original song" she wrote and sang it...no Kate never gets much credit or praise for anything in the "Pop world" but to most of us that love Kate we KNOW her true talent, in singing, writing, producing, dancing and original music video's..

This song was part of the movie “She’s Having a Baby”, with Kevin Bacon and Elizabeth McGovern.

The song always makes me cry because of that scene.

Kate Bush…superb, inspirational, innovative, amazing and simply a genius. Never heard of Maxwell and his version, this is Kate’s song and is iconic and has been for all these years. I’m old now but love her still, I’m so glad you’ve found it.

She is so utterly dramatic and beautiful.. and bloody unique..

I love this it makes me cry sometimes.

Yes that’s what’s always amazed and drawn me to her music. Many of her songs, like Blow Away, take me inside myself below consciousness to experiences of feelings and nostalgia for things experienced long ago, some to when I was young child.

I really respect your ability to listen to multiple genres of music and show great respect to these wonderful artists who give there all. Your focus on there vocals and unique abilities is a true pleasure to hear.

Sean Coleman You need to be with Kate. I've never seen anyone switch genres like her. There's no holding Kate back.

Thanks, man, lovely reaction. Can I just add that Kate is a supremely talented (and very beautiful) singer and songwriter. She is a bit reclusive in real life, in that she doesn't seek fame or attention, but she is very active in the local community, where I was lucky enough to make her acquaintance some years ago and want to say that she is just a beautiful soul, just how you hope that someone who sounds like that would be. In the UK, Kate is, quite rightly, considered a national treasure.

There is not a single moment when I listen to this song that I do not get a lump in my throat at minimum - it usually ends with tears rolling slowly down my cheeks. Kate Bush is truly an amazing person, I have been a fan since the first release of Running Up the Hill when I was in my early teens - I too wish she toured more, but I am not really sure I would have even had the chance to see her then. I wish she would release a video of her last concert - from the fan shots I have seen it looks like it was truly epic (like we would expect anything else).

This just shows what a genius singer lyricist and composer Kate is.

Dammit I cry every damn time I hear this song.

This is my first time hearing Kate Bush too. Now I'm hooked. I heard it also from Maxwell and mainly just the hook at the beginning of the song. Was great to go on this discovery journey with you J; your responses genuinely mirrored my own.

Well that's partly because Kate never had a US breakthrough and eventually the US got Tori Amos who . . . well . . . mimicked Kate bush's vocals semi-often and replicated dozens of specific photos in similar clothing, similar poses, doing similar things in similar places. . . So Tori kind of filled the US's slot for an unusual female artist at the time also she was super British

@markjohnson4217

@@iTeacupPanda Tori Amos arrived almost 15 years later, so she also had the kindness of an era that accepted creative, independent female artists who didn't have to apologize for being women or work and create under the shadow of a male 'partner' so that pop music fans would listen. But this was EXACTLY what the mid and late 70s were like. Virtually every female artist had to collaborate with men. ABBA, Fleetwood Mac, Heart, The Carpenters, Sonny and Cher, Captain and Tenille, Donny and Marie, Ike and Tina..the list goes on... North Americans just didn't take women seriously as songwriters back then. Joni Mitchell and Carol King stood alone.

I am so glad you enjoyed Kates song, she was amazing and didn't get enough recognition on how incredible she was, timeless

This performance reaches deep down inside me, I can't explain how this makes me feel, such an absolute talent Kate Bush is one of a kind no ifs or buts or maybe's.

She sounds amazing singing A woman's work, live too - It's always been my favourite of hers. This and with Peter Gabriel, Don't give up. She's such a true artist!

Kate wrote this song and is a beautiful.singer voice so pure that melts your heart ♥️

I personally fell in love with his song when I first heard this song in the 80’s, in the UK she was a true star then, this womans voice was a force of nature, she was ahead of her time, to say she came out in the late 70’s you would loved it or hated it, but it stood the test of time, it’s been covered by a number of artists, maxwell being one of them and I liked his version as well by Kate Bush will all ways be my go to artist, 👏👏🙏🏼🙌🙌👍👍❤️❤️

A one off amazing singer songwriter.

Hounds of Love, Big Sky, Cloudbusting

J, Kate wrote and recorded song in 1988, used in a movie She's Having a Baby (1988). Released as a single 1989. She only had 4 singles charted in the US. "Running Up That Hill" reached #30. She did much better in the UK, Australia, and a few other countries.

She wrote it for that specific scene in that specific movie, making this a song for hire, which is even harder to write than a song for yourself.

Dave Gilmour from pink floys heard her and helped her get the recognition she needed. She is amazing,have all her albums. The kick inside and The dreaming and hounds of love are some of her masterpieces.

She really has the voice of an Angel ...and writing masterpieces from the age of 9 ...
