Mesmerising Kate Bush ever olive her ♥️🇨🇱😍

It's criminal this amazing song only got to number 25 in the UK.

There is no other artist like her!!! No other.. She is completely unique in her own wonderfully strange and beautiful way. Only Kate Bush!

OMG this woman, has produced jewel after jewel

One of the most beautiful songs ever written, always makes me cry. Kate sounds like an angel. She's out of this world. She did a new version of this in 2011, worth checking out too! It's very different. You were so mesmerized! Dereck you need to react to Kate more often, she should definitely be your next deep dive like you did with ABBA!

The lyric “ I know you have a little life in you yet, I know you have a lot of strength left” instantly makes me emotional every single time I hear it. A truly masterful song .

That indeed, and also, for me is: Give me these moments back Give them back to me Give me that little kiss Give me your - hand

You chose a brilliant Kate Bush song to react to. The emotional impact of This Woman’s Work is so powerful. Kate is a masterful storyteller and visual artist as well as singer songwriter and producer. It makes me so happy being a life long fan that new generations of people are discovering Kates music. Thank you Derek ♥️

Kate closes the piano knowing she just took your feelings for one hell of a ride.

There’s no one like Kate Bush. A true artist.

When music is a Great Art !!! What a talent women

Everything Kate Bush does is truly beautiful. I grew up listening to Kate all thanks to my Dad, and I've loved her ever since. It's so lovely to see more people discovering her and her talents! 💜

One of her best

She has the greatest female voice of all time

kate bush is a genius, one in a trillion

This song is stunning ❤️

i prefer The Fog from The Sensual World album, i think its even better!

This song is so emotional. - gets me every time

For me this song has helped me get through my tough, emotionally challenging times. So I thank Kate Bush for giving me the emotional encouragement and support for my inner child by telling him "I know you have a little life in you yet. I know you have a lot of strength left." A beautiful and touching song by an incredible artist.

It's probably been 20 years since I saw She's Having A Baby, but this song always puts me back in that waiting room. "Give me, these moments back..." 😭

I love Kate Bush I’ve not heard this song in a long time. Thank you for your reaction to this. I’ve added this to my song list.

Isn't it wonderful when you rediscover something you love? That puts a smile on my face every time. Music can do that to us.

Ah le monde de Kate Bush est mystérieux.

I’ve never seen you react like that. The song is a masterpiece. Kate has written many of them.

Please watch "Don't Give Up" by Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush

This is one of my most adored works by Kate Bush. She's mindblowing and I loved your reaction. I hope you make a video on her Moments of Pleasure.

Kate will have that effect on you. If you dive into her music you will love her

Oh this song...its hypnotising.Kate Bush is incredible x

HAUNTINGLY BEAUTIFUL ‼️

I loved your reaction to this one Dereck, I love the emotional journey Kate took us on from a father's perspective, so beautiful!!! And Kate's piano ballads always slay!!!

So glad to see a reaction that didn't immediately say isn't this a Maxwell song?

I believe she plays the piano on this amazing song.

Kate Bush English rose!

It’s mesmerising. Such a huge, huge, unique talent.

Thank you for reacting to this masterpiece. And thanks to the person who asked for it. You were so deeply in it, it was as if we could read/(re)discover the story with your eyes, Dereck. Double emotion.

Legendary song!

one of my favorite song of all time

One of her strongest compositions. Kate is a storyteller like no one. Her best gift: she leaves plenty of room to draw ones own conclusion. Another great one like this but also very personal to Kate herself is A Coral Room. Kate remeniscing her late mother. This Woman's Work made an impressive appearance in one of the most disturbing scenes on The Handmaids Tale: kzread.info/dash/bejne/p2hrj6azaJa1oZc.html

Thank you for emphasizing how dangerous childbirth actually is. Society takes it for granted as this normalized “good thing“ but it’s actually a very dangerous situation, particularly to the woman.

Kate directed the video

I heard this song for the first time decades ago during a woman's figure skating competition. It was SO beautiful that I went out and found the CD. I played it for both of my sons, who ALSO thought it was the most beautiful song they'd ever heard. Finally having seen the video for the first time about a year ago, I think, frankly, that I preferred watching the beautiful figure skating performance with this song as the backdrop.

I agree with your opinion the nurse is smiling at the end of the video, so I think that she did survive, but the song and the video is open to different interpretations. In terms of follow up Kate Bush there are some excellent singles from Kate's 3rd album "Never For Ever" on which Kate is credited as a co-producer, they are Babooshka, Army Dreamers and Breathing.

This ladies and gentlemen, is Kate Bush. Nearly nobody covers her music cause they usually ruin it completely and she is an incredibly unique composer, singer and producer. And she never gave a shit about what others wanted or thought would sell. Full artistic control. She tells stories like no other, no wonder Dereck is speechless. And no, she dies.

Fan since 1980 !!💗

Oohh, one of my favorite songs by her. Good choice. It is SO good it's silly. You are one of the few KZread reacting channels I like. You seem like a man who is in touch with his emotions - like me. One of the finest qualities of a person.

Nice reaction. The next two performances from Kate Bush that you should consider reacting to, each with a nice music video, are ‘Babooshka’ and the duet she did with Peter Gabriel on his song ‘Don’t Give Up’.

i loved this song and The Sensual World album!

Ok the song is beautiful, but we not gonna cap like her voice was just stellar.

One of the top 3 ballads of the 80s. Right up there with Berlin's "Take My Breath Away". It doesn't get any better. This is the high standard for others to follow.

The live version is even better !

You should listen to her whole body of work. All amazing.

Such a beautiful song

My absolute favourite Beautiful

You clearly don't watch "Handmaid's Tale" because this song would tear you up if you did. Season 2, episode 1 of the series was a jaw dropper. Also this song has been making me cry since like, 1986 in the Kevin Bacon movie 'She's Having A Baby'.

I've been in love with Kate Bush since she first emerged in 1977/78. In Britain we had the punk explosion.....and we had Kate Bush. I liked punk....I love Kate. Even John Lydon thinks Kate is an angel sent down to us. I'm now so so envious of all you young people, especially in the USA, who are just discovering Kate for the first time. A world of untold joy awaits you. I almost wish I could start all over again when I see the reactions her music elicits. I'm not a religious person, (don't believe in heaven and hell even though I was brought up strict Scottish Presbyterian).....but as you are now all finding out, there are ANGELS. .

So beautiful

True, but Kate wrote this from the man’s point of view. True genius.

A beautiful composition. Well requested. Mature and classy response too. Much praise to you all (and my favourite Kate Bush song).

Just listen to all of her stuff.. don’t even worry about reacting. Just listen, watch, absorb, whatever.

Was an absolutely beautiful song this was, and Kate Bush was such a great songwriter

Please do Kates song ‘And so is love’ from her album ‘The Red Shoes’ and from the movie she produced and stared in ‘The Line, The Cross and The Curve’ based upon the 1940s British film ‘The Red Shoes’ based upon the European fairytale

Dereck, thanks so much for reviewing this song. It’s so, so beautiful.

I knew it....The magic of Kate and her voice...the way she emotes. Was curious to see Dereck check it out, and yep...here I am again with tears just falling out of my eyes. Hahaha! Brilliant song, share it with everyone who's not heard this original version.

Whenever I hear this song, and I’ve listened to it for decades, it always brings me to tears. It’s so brilliantly crafted. But my favorite line is “all the things we should’ve said that we never said, all the things we should have done that we never did“. Ever since my boyfriend was murdered when I was in my early 20s I’ve made a point of being sure that those I come in contact with know how much they mean to me. Don’t look back and say “I wish I let them know how special they were.”

It has big personal symbolism for me …

The remarkable Kate Bush!.

I'm a huge huge Kate Bush fan, but must tell you that the version by Maxwell always makes me cry. For me it reminds me of the death of my father.

This song gets me every time ❤️ she is amazing

Deeper Understanding is an amazing song when following the story carefully - The Sensual World album - a lot of great, undiscovered songs on The Red Shoes as well.

This has so much meaning to me. My son was born a shade of purple because the cord was around his neck. But that wasn't all, his mother wouldn't stop bleeding. I thought I was going to lose them both. But she was put on a drip and several hours later out of danger and he was revived and I was the spare part in the delivery suite.

Nice you let the track play derk, respect✊

Captivating.

I know I’m being mushy but I just gotta tell. Was going through the breakup of my life, had the cd on in the car stereo. I was waiting in the middle of a crossing to get a gap while this was on. I couldn’t see the traffic through the tears. People behind me must’ve honked. That was over two decades ago, but I still can’t stay dry with this song. Wouldn’t you want Kate for your soulmate? She really, really understands

I reckon in the first part of video when she was standing behind her boyfriend/ husband in the hospital as a spirit, she probably died for afew seconds then came back to the real world.

I believe that D'Angelo did a cover of this.

That's Kate Bush for you. Before social media influencers existed there was Kate Bush.

She died! This is from Wikipedia: The music video for "This Woman's Work", which was directed by Bush herself, starts with Bush, spotlighted in an otherwise black room, playing the introductory notes on a piano. In the next scene, a distraught man (played by Tim McInnerny) is pacing in the waiting room of a hospital. It is then revealed through flashbacks that his wife (played by Bush) has collapsed while they were having dinner. The story blurs into a continuous scene where he carries her to the car, a desperate race to the hospital, and his wife being wheeled away on a stretcher as he races in behind her. While waiting, the husband is wracked with fear and imagines his wife in happier times, kissing him in the rain, and even imagines the nurse coming to tell him she has died. The nurse then pulls him out of his reverie, as she reassuringly puts her hand on his shoulder and tells him about his wife's situation, though we cannot hear what she is saying. The final scene of the video returns to Bush as she silently covers the piano keyboard.

The nurse wouldn't smile to him if she died so no she did not. She didn't die in the movie either.

I suggest you listen one more time and pay attention to Kate's amazing agonized screaming in the background during the closing stanza which so perfectly conveys the agonizing moments of crisis and uncertainty as the wife and mother's life as well as the unborn child hang in the balance. It is so frightening and such a helpless feeling from the man's point of view. My wife and her child were a week overdue and the doctors decided to induce labor. Two days of frustration until they told me she was heading toward pre-eclampsia, shallow breathing, weakened pulse and heart rate, upside down iron in her blood, the whole thing. Two days of strife only to be forced to have a c-section in the end. My wife is Korean and she couldn't pass our child cause he had a big European melon like his Dad. I'm telling you this from my perspective which pales to the agony and terror that she went through. But, of course, that's how Kate produced this song, from the man's perspective. She's an absolutely uncanny empath. The look of stunned and drained oblivion on the face of the man at the end is something I relate to very strongly. He was going through, "All the things I should have said that I never said. All the things I should have done that I never did." To realize it wasn't too late, that he still had the chance to have those moments back must have been overwhelming, draining. A whole new mind-set.

If you like this song look for the video of this song from the movie She's Having a Baby, a John Hughes 80's comedy that gets very sad at the end.

A re reaction would be a unique pretty little thing. 🥰

Treat yourself to the tour of life KZread video (the one with blue background and white writing), then the Kate Bush Christmas Special. Both good videos showing her great talent. Then there's the Eiffling video !!!

You really need to react to her track The Fog from The Sensual World album, an absolute masterpiece!

Please watch it again knowing that she has died, the Women's work is helping her love to cope. Peace my friend x

might want to look at Tim Mckinnory's expression again (the Actor) as in the song she's dies.

Regarding the video I got the impression that he's wife died but the doctors managed to save the baby, that's why he was sad when the nurse first spoke to him and then he showed relief at the end knowing the baby lived. Only my opinion.

Please please look at Maxwell's version too!!! It is delishhh.

I feel like I've had this thought on more than one occasion. A lot of guys read this song exactly as it it was written. Fucking painful. The pull of love and pleasure, pain and togetherness. Whichever wins causes a casualty and a bad one at that. I wish I could decide which narrative was the best to follow.

Hi derek can you put the subtitle?

I also are silent even if i heard all Kate Bush all songs since she started out and she is my husbands favorite singer. Here in Europe she is a gay icon and always been played in our house. Our daugthers mother was more Nina Hagen fan.

Toute la chanson a été composé et interprété du piano aux choeurs toute la chanson resume kate Busch c' est aussi simple que ça

Kate likes to play ghosts.

Hi. You do realise that the Kate that you see is her spirit? She died but wanted to her love realise that it would be okay.
