Maxwell - This Woman's Work

[Exfire27]

[joyFgirl]

I cried a lot 'cause this music is beautiful.

[dayummishael]

i feel like thiz iz the offical sex song for movies...lik if u hear thiz song u automatically have 2 start takein ur clothes off

[ynnatirba]

This song reminds me of the passing of Aaliyah since it was playing alot on the radio around the time she passed.

[Sayo26]

He's underated deserves more credit for his music, alot more.

Maxwell, Eric Benet and Robin Thicke best r&b soul singers in my book

[yumimer]

LOve this song and I love Maxwell and this is excellent but I think the MTV unplugged live version is better---more raw emotions.

[teddyface1982]

this song alwayz make me cry

[alldaystud1]

dat waz rly gd

[madbeat00]

Wow, I'm usually really skeptical when someone remakes a song from one of my favorite singers of the 80's, the AMAZING Kate Bush, but Maxwell, wow, what a great job.

This has been one of my favorite Kate Bush songs and he's really done a great job with it. Didn't butcher it at all.

And for all you younger people out there who don't know Kate Bush, look her up. Her version is even more haunting.

[underdogg08]

da best r&b song eva

[abzedoo89]

is this a dude?

[EthoThug]

yea man, I kno he sounds like a girl a little

[dj34266]

you a hater thats fa sho

[EthoThug]

Thats your opinion buddy

[shortydee25]

I am lost, please fill me in, what in the world is he talking about. what is the meaning behind this song.

[tiggers4n]

This song was originally written by Kate Bush for a movie and used in a clip that is about what a man feels like when his partner is going through childbirth. It is about him having to admit there is little he can actually do. It was actually a perfect song for the scene and Kate Bush was/is an amazing artist.

[Blaw716]

the lyrics are about being forced to suddenly confront reality and adulthood in times of crisis

[MiSSCHERRi09]

lOVE THiS SONG..!!

[krowe75]

i beleive justin timberlake used that high pithc cry in one of his song, does anyone know what song it is???

[quincyj5]

man i luv dis song. i'm goinn 2 lay dis song at mi wedding

[friendofmouse]

I almost cry thinking of the beauty that must have been in Kate's thoughts as the words formed in her mind and the melody guided her fingers over her piano.

And then Maxwell, with his amazing voice so similar to Kate's, came along and showed us another dimension of the song, another side of its beauty.

Sometimes we just have to stop and be amazed by beauty in whatever form it takes. Like this beautiful song that flowed from Kate's mind and heart through Maxwell's voice. To us.

Lucky us.

[liahbabie101]

this song makes me wanna cry

[freebird1290]

The first time I heard this song was tonight. My boyfriend of one year played it and sang it to me... It is such a beautiful song.. Brings tears to my eyes. :)

[trtamika]

O.M.G i luv ths song its so romantic n i never thought a man would notices a woman n how hard we have to work

[Vangardthedrifter]

hey we notice

[BLueKiNGRoSe]

I used to sing this song...untill my voice matured. :(

lol

[missyandme89]

kate bush wrote this, not maxwell

[BlaKSweat]

im a have to roll into a karyoke spot and bust this one out.

[YourMajesty124xDRC]

this song was written for a fan of his that had cancer and was dying

[2presiousGurlz]

Kate Bush is so....marvelous. I love it. At first i didnt understand it but now I love it so much. This song is great but I how Maxwell went from a high tempo to a low tempo.The song is welly writen and welly sung.

[DiimondK]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!

[bnw42]

i luv this video

[themcsd12]

yo i knw im not the only 1 who caught the chills by Maxwell's singing!...im speechless

[pinknotebook]

i LOVE this song... <3

[maipai101]

Maxwell's album comes out JULY 7th 2009!!! Cop that sh*t!!!!

[bloodyskullznigga]

dis is da shitttttt me n my ol lady listen 2

[corozal22]

da vid is brilliant,art desing beautyful made.luv da song!

[waltdaddymarleigh1]

Gangsta. Maxwell, WHERE R YOU?!?!?!?

[imustprovide300]

I fell in love when i was 15 an this song was the only song we played when we were together thats why it bring back so many memories. It's to say that was my first love an my last but for sure i know R. kelly did'nt write this his whole career his songs wouldn't relate too this vibe. INSTEAD of give your hands he will say give that ass,

[mzBeatifulDisaster]

this is WWAAYY better than Kate Bush's original version. Maxwell sings it better in my opinion =]]

[friendofmouse]

mzBeautifulDisaster, If you were standing face to face with Maxwell and he said to you, Kate is truly the bomb, (as he said in the live version of this song, look it up) would you say to him that his version is "WWAAYY" better than hers? What YOU are saying when you make such a comment is that Maxwell doesn't know beautiful music when he hears it. Kate's version is his inspiration for his beautiful vocals.

When you open your mind and heart, all sorts of bonny things wander in.

[alexisbabesz]

uhm excuse me that was MY personal opinion && if you dnt lyk wat im saying den dnt read it. You dnt have to comment on wat im saying!

[THEREALTEYONNA]

aww..

[kivjpm]

my love lillian you should love this

[pimp4lyf134]

great song.

AINT NO WAY IN HELL R KELLY WROTE THIS!

[dayneandre]

The original with Kate Bush was in the movie with Kevin Bacon called She's having a baby. Which is a classic movie.

[Monkees4u123]

yeah you guys really dont know what you're talking about, this was really made by Kate Bush.

[skypup77]

R Kelly most certainly DID NOT write this song for him. You have no clue what youre talking about. It was written by Kate Bush in 1989 off of her album The Sensual World. Try listening to the original, its far superior.

[SHAKSISTAH]

I would NOT say the Kate Bush's original version is far superior - skypup77 ... Maxwell has given credit and the two versions certainly are worthy of co-existance and appreciation ... That to me is the mark of a GREAT song!!! RKelly did NOT write this song and the Maxwell version is as beautiful as the original. It does have that sensual energy that RKELLY and many other artists tap into ... I LOVE both versions ... Just my 2cents on the topic. Peace ...

[SHACK2956]

Damn the one time I post something, I come across as someone who can't spell..Well anyway, as I attempted to say RKelly wrote that song for him

[pitchblackart]

it's a remake like skypup77 said.

[SHACK2956]

In cas eno one knew, RKelly wrote this song for him...

[notadjfor1]

you are definitely on crack. kate bush wrote this years ago as skypup77 said.

[BRANDNUBITCHDUH]

this is my favortive song...its just so hypnotizing...-Pretty BiiSH Nikk

[KarenPooh13]

Everyone keeps talking about how this movie wa§ in "Luv n Basketball" but it was al§○ in thI§ really sad movie called "Liƒe §upport" with Queen Latifa. About these people trying to l.ive to the fullest with Aids and stuff...just thought i would throw that out there....dont get me wrong I luv "Luv n Basketball" still...but life support was way better too me (my opinion)

[iqdegrees]

no your dumb..those are 2 different categories...yeah your stupid I said it

[originalcandy1223]

True but this song was originally mahe for a movie a called "she's having a baby"

And in my opinion thats where the song was justified

[DiamondDoll81]

yeah because it's about a man appreciating his woman having a baby.

[skypup77]

Kate Bush didnt write this song for shes having a baby, it just happens to be in the movie.

[originalcandy1223]

yeah, she wrote it for the sound track

[skypup77]

ok youre right, i looked into it and i stand corrected she did write it for the movie.

[dellec08]

This song is so beautiful! Love the one we cherish! Make love not damage!

[sexyalia]

I love this song. This is my favorite song.

[wordup1090]

ummmmm..okay thats nice?? anyway this song is the stuff!! love and basketball is my movie!! and im the dang on new generation>haaaaa

[nzancyhou]

I'm so upset that I didn't know about his tour until now and completely missed it. Someone let me know if there is another one soon! Ah! This man has a heavenlyyy voice. Mmm!

[deltagirl77]

He's going to be performing at the Essence Music Festival in the summer.

[Coleepoo14]

UMM, i just listened to kate bush's....yall r buggin if yall think that terrible mess is better than maxwell's!!!

[Coleepoo14]

fuck a kate bush she's a woman and maxwell just made it so emotional for me. maybe she sang it aight but he just...he lift up ur spirits i kno yall feel me

[ComostiSexyGirl]

Saying something like "fuck a kate bush" Just because you like Maxwell's version better is really unnecessary that's hardly enough reason to say something like that i mean i understand your entitled to your own opinion but jeez

[ann122365]

This song and video is so pretty! The song is so sad. This is my #1 favorite song by:Maxwell. U gotta love this song and video. If u don't what's wrong with ya? I play this song all the time! I never get tired of hearing it.

[Goostia]

i love this song its beat is so soulful i dont know why he stopped making new songs but he should really never stop singing

[mark4amiracle]

ITS LIKE A SIN FOR MAXWELL NOT TO SING

[jonneyboymb]

nowhere near as good as kate bush

[myadakrazy1]

this is da song 1 of da best love songs xoxo MyAA

[mark4amiracle]

I FEEL THE SAME WAY U DO

[righthand101]

i mean i really like this song and its a true song and he can really sing and it goes with the movie Love&Basketball and i love that movie its so sweet and awesome and i can feel where he is comin from cus i feel da same way and when i hear this song its makes me wanna cry but umma big girl i'll holla!!!!

[xGirlPlay]

That is power for a man to cover this song! :P I think any girl could understand. I love this cover.

[luvvinmusic03]

i know........

[graceisacutiemay97]

i luv dis song

[memewhitmore]

this is how every man should feel about there woman.

[notadjfor1]

yes but not every woman feels the same way about their man. there's a lot of doubt initially when a relationship starts. unless you're a teenager or just plain gullible.

[memewhitmore]

your really silly and for some reason I think you need a hug. keep your comments to your self

[notadjfor1]

cute but I don't think so. are you going to stop me from saying what I want? obviously you expressed yourself with your comment. so I did the same. so go and give yourself a hug because I don't need 'em.

[memewhitmore]

okay tag,I know who am dealing with. peeace for good.

[notadjfor1]

ok whatever. don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.

[JOHNYBOY11S]

This video is madd sad n all but 3:05 to 3:30 is creepy lmao but che da vid is raw

[sheltora]

I love that a man decided to cover this song!

[StevenTheTruthNyquil]

maxwell is coming back? yu already know Maxwell ft. Lil wayne!!! lol

[notadjfor1]

lil wayne can suck on r kelly's little balls. maxwell doesn't need other people on his albums to sell a lot of records.

[low3nd]

this song is the shit

[babygurl034u]

i love this song my fav its so emotional for me i love it

[MC0090]

r. kelly said when he heard maxwell sing this song he wishes he could've made it....thank god maxwell is coming back we need some class in RB right now

[alanaalanna]

This Song is so Beautiful I love it x3 it always makes me a Emotional but in a Good way !!!!

[leonna1325]

this song is so sweet

[notadjfor1]

I am a huge fan of maxwell and I'm a guy. he has a good style and seems to be a really down to earth guy based on some of the interviews I've seen of him in the past. I'm really looking to his upcoming album as I have all his previous one's. R&B should be this way. It's too connected to hip hop now. erykah and D'Angelo are among my other favorites in R&B.

[bubblegumprincess27]

This song is one of my favorites.We all have had a relationship with someone that wow if you could jus have one more go around ya know that person that made those mistakes but wait i can you can forgive but never forget

[candygirlyella]

I LOVE THIS SONG

hey everybody please stop by my page and comment+rate my new songs would love some feed back thanks!

[CocoDyme1]

I think it goes for the meaning that with one life ended, also starts and new life.

[NayRyda]

WONDERFUL SONG

[M8RKY08]

i payed this to my daughter when she was 1 week old she would sleep 4 hours this is magic

[SHAYISBACK]

I LOVE DIS SONG

[SexyMami098941]

i love this song it reminds me of my husband

[ebon1queen]

I think the person in the song that he's talking about passed, cause he's always trying to get to the girl but he can't, so that makes me think she passed.. Plus a few seconds into the beginning of the video looks like he's kneeling to a headstone...

[ajacqx]

I think the woman he's losing (or leaving) is pregnant?! he realizes they don't have enough in common to stay together, but feels responsible for putting all this additional burden on her

[ebon1queen]

This song is about a someone who loves a woman, but realized it a little to late. Thinking about all the things they could've done to prevent her from leaving, all the situations from the beginning where they did and/or said nothing, that if they could do them over, they would. They want her to hold on to what they had in the beginning and give her/him another chance to make it right.

[datgyallilnikz]

i don't reely get the lyrics but i love dis song and it's really deep man

[eabdiel]

this video is like so sad, but so good he is feeling so many different things. which is what many men go through but are not able to express.

[3811iberis]

This man's talent is infinite, his falsetto style rivals most, if not all of the old school falsetto singers that came before him. This 2001 track is one of the best of this century, and with the current state of music generally being poor to just plain pitiful, this track may end up as one of the best this century....oh how I hope that I'm wrong about that.

[linn4thewin]

this is the most beautiful thing i've ever watched. im speechless.

[nyisda1]

Hey Max people

I have received conflicting information in regards to the Maxwell Access Granted Behind The Scenes of his current tour for Sunday, October 19, 2008 (10 pm/EST). Im not sure if its going to air or not.

If this has caused any of you any inconvenience, please accept my sincere apologies.

- M

[lovelyladymary38]

WHAT ARE U TALK ABOUT

[nyisda1]

I was putting ppl up on the following: Max was going to be on BET - Access Granted - if you didn't catch it you missed a good show

[da1ucalllateatnite]

omg i luv this song its so beutiful

[babygurl24x7]

I first heard this song in Love&Basketball. It relaxes me. His voice has an intensity that is so beautiful.

[saysakwee]

i looking 4 dis song for a month i finally found it, dis song is from movie Stomp the Yard.

[ojsimp14]

yeah it was in stomp the yard but its better known in "love & basketball" which was also a great movie

[Nefera1983]

The ear is the fetus. In the position it is in the womb. The ear lobe is the head...Look. The science of us. Everything is interconnected. the omniverse 1. Not UNI- which is two...Wombman...Through her all life is created. Respect is due to her.

[Nefera1983]

pray god you can cope/I'll stand out side/ this women's work/this women's work/o it's hard on a man/now his part is over/now starts the craft of the father... This song is deep!!!

[2damnfyne]

this song makes me cry i love this song

[Leonard898]

I LOVE DIS SONG

[joasiaaa66]

Fine song in the world

najpiękniejsza piosenka !

[grubbsallday]

i love this song it is so toucjing

[dmac7034]

i love when u someones voice in their words does something more to you than enter through the ear... i like when it speak to your soul and embraces and pierces concrete emotions... this song did that to me.. its poetry and as rare as stopping to appreciate the world and not take stuff for granted

[FreeThought911]

This song really grabs the soul. I think it would be hard to find anyone who doesnt like this song. Classic.

[LYRICALLYCORRECT]

this song sung by him inspired me to be a better person and treat and never take things or people for granted

[r0xY85philly]

this song is so beautiful

[katieyoungin13]

He was on the b.e.t. awards...omg he looks diffrent now!!!...but still sexy

[Alexus2143]

i just love this song and his voice

[NageeFlower]

Yes, Kate Bush wrote this song about her lover that was dying of cancer. :)

[ParlayMommie88]

OMG. Seriously? Damn, that's deep as hell.

Thanks for sharing that.

[Insanitybrains]

i love when u someones voice in their words does something more to you than enter through the ear... i like when it speak to your soul and embraces and pierces concrete emotions... this song did that to me.. its poetry and as rare as stopping to appreciate the world

[ripmowt]

yes!! well said!!

[imthecoffee]

Very beautifully put.

[kikib030]

This songs original version is sung by Kate Bush...

[suzuyaemon]

kikib030,Thank you for the information.

[cheninmartel]

does anyone know what this song means?

[kesomox]

its about man who wife is giving birth in the delivery room. he is basically watching her and the child die while doing so

[sheneaxxx]

I LOVE IT...

OMG!!

[561924]

this iz my jam make you think about some things...hek yea

[fayfay02]

where the EMBED code!

[LIGHTSKINNEDBOYLUVR]

i love this song : )

[DIV1000]

Simply does not come close to Kate's original, i'm not saying this is a bad version, a little over produced maybe. The original always brings a tear to eye , this version does not.

[DinNDee]

Check out his version from his MTV unplugged. It is less produced and it does justice to Kate Bush. I think you would like it.

[sexybrat101390]

OMG...I want to cry so much, but at the same time, it brings happiness to me. It's so beautiful...This is why Maxwell is my fav R&B singer now.
