This Woman's Work: Kate Bush (with lyrics)

[gingersnap914]

This was on the soundtrack of 'She's Having A Baby', loved it from the first time I heard it. Actually, the entire soundtrack to that movie was excellent. Maxell's rendition was amazing also.

[joeythekangaroo1000]

i feel it's my fault that i made me this way. i never ate well as a child i suffered from reflux and eczema i grew out of it but weight loss still was with me as a result i develped a stammer i grew up without proper friends maybe only one or two so i started making friends with my teachers at school when i came to 14 i suffered with eczema all over my face for 3 years i was using creams none worked it got to the point where i couldn't sleep and i would cry ''please make it go away''

[shawtygurlniya]

[Ninelifs]

this song was played for my aunty just before we laid her to rest,she contracted lung cancer in 2007,she was took in the arms of god 1 hr and 20 mins before the new year broke in,she was such a fighter and this song felt like my aunty was talking to us all xx

[firefly1924]

Heard a bit of this playing on a CSI Miami episode when Caleigh was being shocked back to life in the hospital. ( Season 8, Episode - Backfire)

[09lildeedee]

i have never heard something so beautiful in my life but thumbs up if this remind u of twilight! :-)

[marvelmalcolm]

THIZ DONT EVEN SOUND RIGHT

[Missdeejay76]

This is by far the BEST version of this song. All the others who tried to sing this song sounded like they are dying or whining. It hurts my ears and Maxwell butchered this song. Kate Bush is the perfect one to sing this song.

[MrMzBTV]

@Missdeejay76 MAXWELL IN NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM BUTCHERED THIS SONG.. IF ANYTHING HE IMPROVED IT.. BUT THEN AGAIN THAT'S MY OPINION.

[stephaniew1990able]

I love this song it always makes me cry everytime i listen to it .

[stitchesful]

I love this song, but it brings back a very painful memory of my mom. She was very sick and dying, but nobody knew it. But she was scared and knew something was wrong with her. She reached out to me, but I was hostile to her, and I didn't comfort her. I'm so sorry, Mom. Please forgive me and RIP. I love you, even if I didn't show it. You too, Daddy.

[birdyboo68]

This makes me cry 5 years down the line my twin grandsons where born and died on 27th October be buried them on the 6th November my daughter was 17 at the time she's my baby it broke my heart t see my baby burying her children life can be so hard some times but we rest easy as much as it hurts knowing they sit with the lord in his warm glow x we played this at there funeral sleep tight Daniel-lee and Kaylub-John

[Smiley5752]

this song fit perfectly well for the scene on "She's having a movie", love it.

[Joshua61781]

maxwells version is better

[peacelovemusic55511]

Rest In Peace My Dad and My Brother!! Theres Not A Day That Passes Without A Thought Of You That Passes Within Me!! Love You Soo Much More Than You Could Ever Understand <3

[krysalist]

I'd like to use this song for a pro-choice video. Do you mind?

[RhiTheRandomRambler]

@krysalist Hi, this is harunosakura2008 (on my new account). Of course you can use it in a pro-choice vid! =D I'd love to see it when you've made it.

[Babii2Ladii]

It took forever to find this song..:)

[lucypuddlejumper]

OK, now i'm really darn confused. First, who the heck is this idiot by the name of 'maxwell', and why is he ruining kate's song by claiming he wrote it. Wait. Did he write it? Eeeeeeeeh. Now I'm REALLY confused.

[miggy90200]

@lucypuddlejumper Maxwell has never claimed that he wrote this song. In fact, in a MTV LIVE tapping, Maxwell states that he is about to sing a song by the amazing Kate Bush called "This Woman's Work"

[OMGITZDAYLA]

This doesn't just go out to miscarriges are stillbirths it was also used on the NSPCC commercial cruelty to children. Think about the abused children who die everyday from abuse and neglect

[BeccaDuquesne16]

This song was used on CSI:Miami 8x20 (backfire) when Calleigh's heart stops. It was also played at my older sisters funeral

[hfleming531]

give me them back to me....



[AuraPheonix]

I love this song it's so beautiful....I just love it

[AuraPheonix]

Some girls in my dance group did this song my cousin has been trying to find out what this song was called for months! And I figured out what it was called on my first try!!

[snwdreams]

I love this song.

[MistressXOfXShadows]

i thought the beginning said.. 'sweet little chicken coop' for the longest time!!

[hey3jude]

THIS IS ALSO USED ON THE COLD CASE SERIES ON UNIVERSAL ,,,ITS SO BEAUTIFUL AND SAD :-))

[an5200]

a very very emotional song, thanks for the Lyrics. Kate Bush is a national treasure!

[Impetrate420Justice]

Thank You for writing this song. Maxwell killed it though i'm sorry

[reemichelle]

i loveeeeeeeee this song it makes women feel good I think women should all listen to this song

[VictoriasFolly]

One of Kate Bush best songs...

[kelbellll]

I love reading others' interpretations. When I first heard Maxwell's cover of this song, I always interpreted it to be about an unhealthly relationship you just needed to get out of and forget about. But I read an article where Kate Bush talks about writing it for a movie, and it's about a young father waiting in a hospital while his pregnant wife is in surgery because their baby is breech. He can't help but think of her dying, and as the song plays, a montage of their life together is shown.

[donkeychatter]

@kelbellll The film is She's Having A Baby. It's a John Hughes film from the 80's. It's excellent, like all of Hughes' films.

[2011cassius]

@kelbellll Lyrics can be interpreted anyway you like, Its the voice that puts them in there place. For me this song is about a relationship that should not die!

[ThePCLShow]

Our dance team is using this song to dance to, to raise money for cancer patients.

Its a beautiful song.

[reemichelle]

@ThePCLShow your very right



[Denalynnnful]

It is about being ABUSED listen closely and when you can not handle the abuse any longer some people have had their lives ruined so wrongly or badly that there's nothing left TO "pray" for especially not to GOD IF that was relevant it would not be allowed to happen to any person

[mayflower551]

yes yes yes. amazing in every way. touches me fully.

[jakophile]

it's about loss.

[marybonett]

you might wanna ask Kate if she is pro-life

[friendship1012]

this song makes me remind of wut happened to my mother while the robbery i was washing the dishes and my mom was vacuming and this guy jumped through the window and shot my mom and i grabbed my knife that i was cleaning and he ran out of bullets hehe i ran i knocked him down and he started to choke me and i just raised my hand and i stabbed him he died. I went to my mom and i shook her and shook her but she died he shot her in da heart.and she died

[NatalyaLaLaLove]

it makes me cry 2 dw x

[Pinkydinkydoo13]

Dis song Sounded So gud On that Epsiodeof Csi Miami:BackFired wen calleigh dead I love dis song Now!!!!!!!

[MsBossyLibra]

Yea I am most defiantly liking maxwells version better.... She sounded terrible the video ended early.

[loooooooo65432]

@MsBossyLibra Somebody has no taste in music. Kate's too good for you.

[chris555777cdg]

I dont see many videos with this song playing on it. so I am guessing they dont give permission to use this song huh. I wanted to use this song for a pro life video but I am starting to think they are not going to give me permission. any thoughts on this.....

[harunosakura2008]

@chris555777cdg I'm not sure whether or not it's a copyrighted song on youtube...it uploaded for me without a problem, but if it mutes or deletes a video, a 30 second intro with either no sound or a non-copyrighted song should stop your video being deleted. Youtube only scans the first 30 seconds of a video for copyrighted music, apparently. Good luck with the video! If you upload it, link me to it, I'd love to see it - I'm pro-life too. =)

[iKAT13x]

@chris555777cdg you can use this song they use it over here in england for a advert and a drama program :)

[DaddyGurl702]

i was wondering who song this before maxwell, but damn he song it so much better

[harunosakura2008]

@DaddyGurl702 Maxwell's is good, but I prefer this version =)

[loooooooo65432]

@harunosakura2008 Maxwell's version would not exist without Kate Bush. So you knew Maxwell rip her off and continued to listen to him? Listen to more songs by Kate. Then you'll hear real talent.

[hfleming531]

@harunosakura2008 

[brandonwadd]

it sounds like divorce for me. lol I raise our son on my own and maybe work too much. :(

Guess its what you hear for you ...

[DestinyIsMine2009]

Can, I ask. What does this song actually mean? I thought it was about birth/pregnancy. Then theres some lyrics hitns thats its about death?

[harunosakura2008]

@DestinyIsMine2009 I think it probably is about pregnancy and birth, but lyrics like "all the things we should have said that we never said" and "pray god you can cope" could be interpreted to be about death...the song can be interpreted in many different ways, I think. =)

[TheBlacks198]

@harunosakura2008 her baby dies? :(

[arcadiashel]

@harunosakura2008 This song was used in a Without a Trace episode when a woman committed suicide so I think you are right...the song can be interpreted in many different ways. :)

[EvilKittyKat1]

@DestinyIsMine2009 Watch the movie.....She's having a baby.....it is awesome and then it will make full sense

[kekeandra]

@DestinyIsMine2009 its talking about a women having a baby , but she is struggling to get it out .

[DreamWriterDKS]

@DestinyIsMine2009 If you go off of the movie "She's having a Baby" it's about a difficult birth....the husband/father of the baby with the racing thoughts of losing the wife or baby or both. "pray God you can cope" I take it as please let me be able to deal with the outcome. Just wishing and hoping you'll get more time.

[09lildeedee]

omg luv dis song its so good

[deck17]

love this song, makes me cry everytime

[borderolivia920]

this song makes me cry :(

[harunosakura2008]

@borderolivia920 yeah, me too :(

[harunosakura2008]

@TheEdhardygirl09 I think it's you who wasted 3 minutes of your life. Also, learn to read. And spell. And do NOT spam my videos please. Criticising my work is fine, but if you don't like the song, just go listen to something else.

[TheEdhardygirl09]

@harunosakura2008 ummm sweetie i can spell yo dum ass juss didnt read it right and um fuck kate bush wif her no sinqinq ass i said wat i said and ima spam ya bitch ass video juss 4 sayin tht shyt no other comments so peace

[Alice19thLover]

(P.S. i'm not making fun of Kate Bush or you or anyone else, i just wanted to say it :3)

[harunosakura2008]

@Alice19thLover thanks for the comment! Aww, that's cute - my dog howls when she hears it XD

[Mia444]

Hauntingly beautiful song by one of the greats of all time, Kate Bush... Thank you for this, harunosakura.

[harunosakura2008]

@Mia444 Thank you for the comment :) I'm glad you like the video.

[Neoqpa]

[TheJen79]

[Karentrout35]

My mum played this at my twin sisters funeral its beautiful without a doubt.loue u lisa

[felides]

@Chihuahua - It's used in the movie "She's Having a Baby" during the scene where she is giving birth.

[ChihuahuaRules123]

I've heard this song in a movie once!!! But i just can't remember the movie!

[Rissa76]

@ChihuahuaRules123 This song is in the movie She's Having a Baby with Kevin Bacon

[jenileemarie]

love & basketball

[ChelsieHightowerFan1]

@craig0514 i think it's about disease

[leiaheminsley]

my baby :'( x

[crazyrainbowlover]

Thanks for posting I've never actually listened to the words turns out they're really beautiful thanks

[harunosakura2008]

You're welcome =)

[honeykiss1990]

i think da maxwell version is way betta

[harunosakura2008]

Why don't you go watch someone's Maxwell video and tell them that? =)

[loooooooo65432]

@honeykiss1990 Maxwell's version would not exist without this.

[craig0514]

whats she singing about?

[harunosakura2008]

I believe the song is about miscarriage.

[FLoW828]

@craig0514 I believe it's about pregnancy and giving birth

[DinainAlmaty]

thank you for posting this, i cry every time i hear this voice, what a sad song, sad & beautiful

[harunosakura2008]

you're very welcome. =)

[JPsNanny]

We lost our 28 yo son on Oct. 27 2009. I can't stop listening to this song. We are forever changed. RIP, Chris. We LOVE you. And thanks for posting this with the lyrics. :)

[harunosakura2008]

you're welcome - i'm really sorry to hear about your son.

[medea1990]

@JPsNanny I'm so sorry...

[stitchesful]

@JPsNanny I'm very sorry and I hope that your lives still have enough good in them to be worth living. I, too have been touched by tragedy in my life, even though it's probably not as bad as losing a son. I lost a close friend to a car accident and I've sat by the death beds of both my parents who both passed away too young and before it was their time to go. This song just hits home and targets exactly the way I feel regarding those tragedies. All the best to you.

[flarewolf01]

This is on the child cruelty advert

[crazyrainbowlover]

I saw that

[Lindsay190]

Such a lovely song!.

[ElBeatle11]

oh - oh

[mtillymint]

this is from me 2 u mum...dnt know how 2 go on wthout u...xxx

[SuperCaseyb]

does your mum have a youtube account?

[harunosakura2008]

that was just insensitive. not on my videos, please.

[briannaellis]

maxwell version sounds so much better

[harunosakura2008]

I guess we all have different opinions. :D

[Vulchid]

Maxwell's version offers absolutely nothing extra. Why bother trying to perfect perfection?

[SuperCaseyb]

maxwell version sounds so much better if you want to listen to a completely different song(slaps you)

[seecritagent]

This song has sucha strong meaning. It's just one of those songs that reminds you of that tear jerker scene with Kevin Bacon on "She's Having A Baby". Made me cry everytime I saw it.

[YkylesT18]

this song is truely beautiful.

[Rosiilee]

Haha it's great. Thanks for posting!

[harunosakura2008]

No problems! Thanks. ^.^

[doll2m]

I love this song...It is sad but true in many area's of one's life......I Like it very much and am glad that I was able to find it off a movie I had seen.

[dancedepa]

in the beginning its this woman's work...this woman's word.

[harunosakura2008]

Thanks for the correction!

[eponine243]

no it's this womans world not word

[harunosakura2008]

Yeah, I listened again and it's definitely 'world' not 'word'.

[lollilolz95]

This song is great, sad though... great video :D.xx
