Kate Bush , Moments of pleasure ( Directors cut ).

[MrPlownds26]

Ooooh This is so ravishingly lovely

[GirlWithOneEyeXxx]

This song is amazing... :) I totally agree that it has a Coral Room feel to it, and I love it as much as the original - i think of this one as a slightly sadder, more emotional version, for when I'm in that kind of mood. :) This version isn't boring at all, just different :)

[sptfgpn]

what happend to, "Hey there, Bill. Can you turn the lights up"? I liked that part.

[gilbertomerighi]

What does " every old socks meet an old shoe" mean?

[robleeds13]

@gilbertomerighi everybody needs a bit of company now and again .

[supermaxim109]

@gilbertomerighi I think it means: "You may think you're odd and unloveable, but there's someone for everyone, and when the time is right, you'll find each other."

[drogheda1966]

@gilbertomerighi Every old sock needs an old shoe. Me Grammy used to say that.

[catinmychair]

@gilbertomerighi - It means that there's someone - the *right* one - for everyone. The right fit.

[usergently]

@gilbertomerighi Who connects with each other.

[beyondtheforest]

"On a balcony in New York...it's just started to snow.."

So beautiful. For some reason, when I hear this song, I think of the Titanic.

[Cicilo1983]

@beyondtheforest, I wonder if the little instrumental break we hear when she sings that line (2:43) will be somewhere on "50 Words for Snow" ? The chords that she plays have nothing to do with the original - it's like she drifts into another song for a moment, then coming back to it...

[theyanplan]

anyone with any taste or sheer class will always appreciate Kate, she is and always be the bomb ! x@theyanplan

[lokubitz]

I love this!! for me is a new wonderful song, I need it every day!! thanks Lady Kate!!

[Takehaniyasubiko]

It's stunning, especially the end: "Hi there, Michael. Do you really love me? DID you really love me...?".

[johnmcnab]

@Takehaniyasubiko Was always my favourite line of this whole song ....

[TheHolisticMystic]

Beautiful. I actually shed tears. I feel mixed about this project overall and think some of it is disastrous, but this was brilliant. Thanks, Kate.

[supermaxim109]

Kate sits me down and quietly says to me: "Think about the people you love, with love: it's important. Embrace the sorrow and the joy", then creates the space to do it. How can you thank someone enough for helping you find compassion again?

[glvdtxn]

One of the things I hate the most about writing is the realization that, once I write something and publish it, I can't go back and make changes. Sometimes, I'd love to go back and make some changes. The execution didn't come out quite the way I'd meant the first time, and I like revisiting the old pieces and seeing how I could have done things differently. Even here, I'm making choices, and way leads to way, as Robert Frost would say. How nice to take a chance to revisit these old pieces!

[cornpap2k9]

I think that this version of Moments of Pleasure is the most beautiful song she has ever recorded

[maxmucksaround]

Music masterclass 101: you can say it with all just a piano and the human voice.

[GINGERALER]

This is awful. It's like a hymn and makes my eyelids feel heavy. Kate how could you go back over and rehash songs from 15-20 years ago? Leave them alone, they are fine as they are.

[cornpap2k9]

@GINGERALER It is obvious you dont like Director's Cut, at every opportunity you have expressed you discust on here. So why do you keep coming back to listen to songs from this album if you hate it so much?

[jensaushamburg]

i discovered kate just 2 years ago and truly loved her work.

it was/is something special, really unqiue and classy.

i was happy like a little kid when i heared about new versions.

but unfortunately i like all the originals much more than the new versions.

some tracks like this one has nothing to do with the originals except the lyrics.

thats sad

but i will still adore kate for her era

[GINGERALER]

I have followed Kate's work since 1985 and loved all her albums.....but....like the British say, this is 'bloody awful'. When an artist returns to previously released work to re-interpret, revisit, remix, or just to supposedly update it...its not a good sign. This adds nothing to the original, in fact, it strips it down, removes the entire chours, and makes me yawn.

[nofranchise]

@GINGERALER Why do you insist on repeating the same sentiment - which is quite ill conceived I might add - on the thread of every video from the new album? Just let it go man. Some of us can enjoy a new interpretation of an original song. If you can't, well then just listen to the old version.

[cornpap2k9]

all we ever needed was kate bush and a piano... just beautiful

[supermaxim109]

That choir seems exactly the sound of memory: of the mind reaching back and the people from the past finding us. It just seems that even more than ever, she is working on triggering our subconcious, just-hidden emotions with sound.

[sidhcore]

A true artist is capable of making timeless music. Songs like this and great part of this woman's catalogue prove so. When you are able to recreate moments out of a group of musical notes, you surely are a genius. That's Kate Bush's case.

[MrSqueeky1]

fair comment calling this part two.Dreading hearing this as the red shoes is my (flawed)favourite album, but absolutely love it. Its the bad tracks that produce the great tracks and i would never criticise any of Kates music. spent the last thirty odd years having people laughing at me enjoying kates music and couldn't care less.

[AkuraNanabi]

A much different version, so bittersweet... she grew so much, we can hear it.

[HELLO2YOU3]

sat here weepin love the feeling of Kate

[biggoodness]

FLAWLESS.

[68hejira]

Her music makes me feel long forgotten memories and emotions because she sings from her heart and is so honest. Thank you Kate Bush x

[jhonboy669]

I so loved the original. But this is awesome...........like listening to a Coral Room, hoping for it to continue, wanting for more....and then Kate answers with this....absolutley awesome, spell binding. She is a genius, I just wish people would understand and recognise her.

[robleeds13]

@jhonboy669 , yes Coral Room is just class.

[qpid2020]

Agree 100%. Very beautiful, very reminiscent of Coral Room, and better than the original.

[monkeyboymacc]

this is not a remake ..its part two ,its a reprise ...a reflection on the original..not to be compared perhaps but understood in sequence ....with the many years and the experiences in between just adding ,if anything needed adding,a new emotional chord...aweight ..an intensity ..an extra dimension if you like ...beautiful...the ethereal choir floors me each and everytime..its whats not said...class act

[galenkia]

Prefer the original myself.Bit too 'acoustic' this version.

[TheNightflier70]

The ghostly choir remember me "The Madama Butterfly" humming chorus from G. Puccini

[zosothebelly]

Kate Bush Santa Subito!

[TheNightflier70]

Wonderful remake.

I like to cite what an other YT user said about

BY treeoftears ...

The difference between this and the original is as different as spring and autumn. As much as I love the delicate flowers of spring and the thick green grass of summer, they could never replace for me the sight and scent of mouldering moist leaves on a forest floor in the depths of autumn.

In the woods decay is everywhere mixed with growth, and dark with light, and death with life.

I weep.

[0ntology]

she made it so happy

[Broomfield1965]

I DO like this more than the original, the etheral choir makes me feel quite overcome with emotion. But I'm not so sure about Kate leaving off the names at the end from the original (Maureen and Bill), makes me kinda feel that she's forgotten them after all these years...

[keithdeweese]

@Broomfield1965 I don't think she's forgotten them, but I do feel she's learned to put certain people in perspective in terms of their transitions. Some she's still working on. She'll never forget Bill Duffield--every time she's asked about touring, you can bet he pops in to her head.

[iamnotaplatypus]

Okay i've listened to this at least 10 more times today (I have the album) and I don't prefer it to the original after all. It becomes more and more dreary with repeated listening; there's no energy or momentum to it. Kate's vocal together with the soporific instrumentation is yawn-inducingly dull. Thankfully the rest of the album makes up for it.

[iamnotaplatypus]

A bit sleep-inducing, but I prefer it to the slick, over-produced original. And I always thought that "just being alive/it can really hurt" was one of the stupidest lines Kate's ever written so i'm happy she's ditched it.

[MrLexical]

I like the ghostly choir, but the song seems a bit pointless without the chorus lyrics. "just being alive/it can really hurt ... etc"

[spatafora]

beautiful.
