      So true ! Anybody I know who’s heard it thinks it’s terrible like a lot of her songs.
      It’s like a strange reassurance for me, to know there are really honest feeling deep people out there. I don’t seem to hear anybody else that plunging deeper than every day

    She is nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame again in 2021. The fact that she isn't already in is a crime. This woman is a freaking legend. This song wrecks me every time I listen to it. It immediately takes me back to when I was younger and lost people close to me. As you read through the comments here, you notice it does this to a lot of people. That is mastery.

    I'm now 61 and was fortunate to have found Kate when she was 19 and sung Wuthering Heights, I've followed in awe and can say with out any doubt she is the greatest female artist ever. Like millions of others I fell in love and still am in love. Thank you Kate for sharing your talent the world is brighter and sounds better because of you.

      I too am almost 61, so glad I was there from the beginning. Of all the bands and artists I've wanted to see over the years, Kate Bush is the only one I never saw live. She really is the perfect package. I don't know of anybody male or female who has all of her artistic skills.

      I agree. This will always be her masterpiece as far as I’m concerned. That’s because, of all her songs, it speaks to the universal themes of life and death and how we cope with losing those whom we have loved. This is on the same level as Joni Mitchell’s The Circle Game and Both Sides Now. All three songs brilliantly written, deeply moving and written by women who were uncannily beyond their years.

    Every time I play this, I cry... 1993 was fine, but my virtually housebound dad dying of terminal cancer in 2006 was so heavy, as I'd forgotten something at his house. He rushed down to the bus to give me the item, and he waved his walking stick to me as the bus left. Gets me all the time, especially as he died on New Year's Day, 2007.
    I love this track, so if I cry in public, TOUGH.

    I am now 67 and loved Kate from the first time I saw her singing Wuthering heights on Top of the Pops, I had so many posters and stuff that my girlfriend who is now my wife wouldn’t come into my bedroom, saw Kate live in Manchester in 1978 and was walking on air for weeks after, I’ve never lost my love and admiration for her and she still causes controversy between my wife and I 😂 the only thing that has made me upset is her last concert ‘Before the Dawn’ was never released on blueway or dvd as I wasn’t able to get her shows as they were all in London and as a big fan of Kate I would have thought she would have let one be made 😢

    People need to allow this kind of sadness in. The way to overcome hardship is not always (not even often) happiness -- it is allowing yourself to be sad, to truly reflect on life. Happiness doesn't cure cynicism or despair -- sadness does. This song exemplifies why beautiful, poetic sadness heals us.

      Absolutely true! When I first heard Kate's music in the late 1970s I appreciated the vocals, melody and performance. Now, I adore the true meaning of her lyrics, after having a near lifetime of my own experience. What is incredible is that some of her songs were written when she was 15, including the very dark 'The Kick Inside' (about sibling incest, pregnancy & suicide). A truly remarkable and original artist.

I watched her perform James and the Cold Gun live and it was a performance worthy of Meatloaf. She always said that she wanted to write a great Rock Song and James was her effort on Kick and Don’t Push your Foot on the heartbreak on Lionheart both great songs. Violin is a great rock song too but rarely heard. I hope that there is another great Rock song in her.

    Kate Bush, your music saves. We're a newly-homeless family, and it has gotten us through so much. Even the toddler adores you; your name was one of his first words, and he could pick your face out on our Prime library. This song is my daughter's favorite track on The Red Shoes. She said it makes her cry internally. My eldest loves your Hounds Of Love album. The Jig Of Life always centers me. Before The Dawn was the last thing we bought and it was excellent; we all wished we could have been there! Your art follows us everywhere, since we keep it in the car. Thank you for giving us moments as a family, and individuals, where we can feel whole. I love you. We all do.

Or like my mum as a teenager in Liverpool and seeing the Beatles in ‘63.

    So we've just entered another corona lockdown. I started browsing youtube looking for comfort, distraction, anything to stop me feeling. I'm worried about my job and how I'll get my kids through this.
    I don't know how I came by this song, haven't heard it in many years. I've always loved Kate's work. But today, after listening to it again 'Moments of Pleasure' makes so much more sense. And yeah, I didn't want to feel, but oh boy, I don't have a choice. I'm a big grown man, but it's nice to have a cry, it's been many years. Suddenly I feel some hope, I think I can get my family through this after all.
    I've no doubt Kate wrote this for herself, and herself only. But looking at the comments, it's deeply affected so many. And I didn't realise until today, I really needed to connect with this song again.
    As an artist, she should be proud.

    Kate's own words about this song:
    "It was written in the “old way” where I wrote it on the piano at home and kept it in my head rather than writing it onto tape. It was an attempt for me to get back to my “roots” where I had to see if I could still just sit with myself at the piano and write a song without having the outside influence of “technology”. It was interesting for me.
    I feel my dearest memories have been spent with people I love, those things that still make me laugh, the people that have touched me. The song is saying thanks to those friends of mine who were fun to be with, some of whom aren’t alive any more - though they are still alive in my memories.
    There was a wonderful moment when I was writing the song. I was working with the memory of visiting Michael Powell in New York when it had started to snow - I looked up while playing the song through and it was starting to snow."

But also of innocence lost and mystery. She can be an escape from all the harsh things of life,from all the disappointments we face as people every day.It is great to dive into her world and let yourself being carried on a cloud of sensuality,,sensitivity and femininity. Yes,even when you are a man.She brings the truth to us,but does it in such a gentle way. I am still very impressed with her incredible talent and staying power.This is my favorite song of her,together with saxophone song,running up that hill and night of the swallow.Thank you Kate,for making it all a little more beautiful.

    affect me but she did. She is the only artist-and woman- who put some warmth in me. I actually harbored thoughts of searching for a girl and maybe live like a normal person, you know, get a real life, wash more often, become fitter. People say here she is an angel and other crap that I am sure she does not like but I concur that she is unique, one of a kind.
