I do, but Kate RUINS this with her quirky extra high falsetto

Just to Add That Roy Harper is one of the most underrated songwriters ever.

And a wonderful singer and musician as well. His voice is unique

This should have been on one of their albums. Great duet.

Absolutely. Perfect track

Roy harper is the genius. If you never saw him you missed a part of life itself.

Been a huge fan of this pair, and of Roy Harper (whose song this is) for longer than I care to recall, and I can't believe I never heard of this until today!

Saw him in Edinburgh, he kept stopping half-way through songs to tell a quick story 🙂

Kate’s vibrato is superb and her timbre goes so well with this beautiful piece

Hats of to Roy Harper

When Kate Bush started to sing I understood where This Mortal Coil got their inspiration

This Mortal Coils version of this song is one of the most beautiful sounds mankind's ever made.Give it a listen.

How have I never heard this until now. Loved both of them for years.

The pain in this is perfect

And to think this was on a Christmas special

They're both gorgeous 🌟

Another day.... of special kind of music

One of my favourites by Roy Harper..so Beautifully covered. 😢😢😢❤Wow

What a touching emotive driven rendition of a Roy Harper classic

Beautiful

I miss you so much, Om. Every cell of my body aches for your return. I will love you forever.

Comme d'habitude, une pure merveille.

Just found this! Why the hell was it never released as a single??

So lovely to hear this again. Thank you for sharing it. 💜

4ad Record's artistic choices for re recording the originals has been revalatory

One of my favourite tracks of both Kate Bush and Peter Gabriel. Really disappointed that it was never released as a single or on an album. There must be enough tracks from Kate Bush that werent on existing albums eg December wiĺl be magic again, rocket man , another day etc to make an album

Beautiful. Though I still think I prefer Liz Fraser's, it's a tough call.

I'm also with you on this: Fraser is divine. I'm guessing, however, that Liz heard this version and thought it worthy of a remake. A rough diamond polished into its final beauty, if you will?

Liz and Kate/Peter did beautiful versions, but the original stands up well against them both.

​@Patroels I suspect she was inspired by the original, as Kate was.

Que guapo era Peter Gabriel...

Nice

Gorgeous women.

Needs More "heh-heh-heh-eh-eh-eh-eh".

I had never Kippled before I heard this.

You're better off listening to the other version on KZread with the inferior video quality. Somebody's added some kind of echo to this, which although perhaps well intentioned, rather ruins the mood.

Thank you. You were right. I found one without the echo. MUCH better.

Good version, I'd say. Shows its a great song, even stripped of its orchestration.

It would have been so much better if it was just Kate singing it all ..then I could compared it to the version sung by Liz Fraser (This Mortal Coil)...Kates singing on this is SO MUCH BETTER than his ,it's ridiculous ! And yet she only gets a few lines !

@@22Phantasm A fabricated portrayal - with cheap decor - of a hart-rendering sensitive song with the wrong voices. Kate Bush was then very fashionable, but her voice is not exactly introvert. Compared to the live version by Roy Harper, who wrote it, this sounds and looks simply wrong.

@@mmeijer635 I get your points. This clip was taken from a TV show, you can hear the applause at the beginning, so I wouldn't read too much into the cheap decor as it's not a real video. Most cover's do not surpass the original so again, I wasn't expecting this to happen either. It's their portrayal of a very beautiful song. And I agree with your comment that the original is sensitive but I don't think it's heart-rendering at all... the damage is already done so I think of the song as the aftermath. That's my idea of the original but thank you for responding. Take care.

@@22Phantasm This is not to start a (endless) discussion, but you explain rather well why it is a poor product in relation to the intention and feel of the original song. I agree, therefore, with the "eww" as well as your comment. But I am surprised how you seem to shut off emotional pain or distress 'just because it is already done'? Many people carry live long pain in their harts for sad, interpersonal events if they care to remember.
