ORIGINAL: warspite1 WTH??? I heard this on a TV program yesterday - and had no idea what it was - other than it was the unmistakable voice of Kate Bush. How could I have not bought this record at the time and how could I have completely forgotten it??? An absolutely ball-bouncingly beautiful song. Wow! A voice that can cut glass, and can bring a grown man to tears, a voice that is almost too beautiful to describe. The piano accompanying that beautiful voice at the start is remarkable enough - and the lyrics catch the attention, but at 1:21 the track starts to move into gear as the piano is joined by another instrument (I don't know what it is), there is a mini-crescendo and then at 1:49 the track eases back once again - but this is just the prelude for a sort of choral addition at 2:18, before, at 2:44 this incredible vocal just hits perfection as she produces a kind of high pitched chant as a background to her main vocal. This Woman's Work - Kate Bush https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEHqPCA_lzQ Holy decades Batman, how have you lived the last 20 years without knowing this song? Call yourself a music lover? You should be ashamed.... Best wishes, Steve warspite1 Hence my reaction - WTH?? I was genuinely shocked when I heard it. It was instantly recognisable as Kate Bush - but I could not place it and certainly never owned it. Shocking I know, I can only ask for your forgiveness and am just glad I 'found' this track. Well, I forgive you of course. Your otherwise exemplary service to this thread mitigates the horror stemming from a momentary lack of attention committed 20 yeas ago and every subsequent year thereafter. Best wishes, Steve warspite1 Thank-you sir! Now, if you would like to find your way to the Australian Beauties section, there is a competition that requires your consideration
