This Woman's Work Kate Bush
or Maxwell My vote will always be for Kate's. It puts tears in my eyes. I liked Maxwell's a lot better (never better than Kate's) before my hubby ruined it by telling me he sounds like  in it.
Now that's all I hear.  | |

I loooove Kate Bush's version of this song too, it is sooo much better than Maxwell's version. There is something about this song: the music, and the way Kate sings it with so much passion in her voice. This song makes me cry too, I love it!!!!! I don't like Maxwell's version at all, his voice is too squeaky and irritating. 
True story: My hairdresser and I were discussing this song, and my hairdresser said that she liked Maxwell's version of this song, but she had never heard Kate's version. I burned Kate's version of this song onto a CD, and gave it to her so she could listen to it. I told her, "This song will make you cry." The next time I got my hair cut, I asked her what she thought of Kate's version of the song, and she told me that she still liked Maxwell's version better than Kate's! I wanted to say, "Are you serious?! Kate's version is a lot better than Maxwell's could ever hope to be!"     [Edited 7/26/09 22:50pm] RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |

Maxwell's live Unplugged version by miles... the version he did on 3rd album wasn't good, but I don't like Kate's either. Her voice doesn't caress my ear the way it should   I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it | |

[Edited 7/26/09 22:50pm] Is your hairdresser CalhounSq???  I'm another one who hadn't heard Kate's version until after Maxwell's. I gave it a chance, it just didn't hit me

Kate Bush keeps growing on me.
Aerial deserved more attention than it received in the music world, and remains one of my favorite double-albums by any artist to date. Great thread. | |

there's NO comparison
dude turned it into some kinda R&B shit he completely misses the point besides , he can't convey the emotions as they were intended because he's a man | |

He completely misses the point, and turns a very open, hearth-wrenching piece of work into a stylized vocal exorcise. The Kate Bush version is superior. I'd love to see that song covered by a folk artist like Ani Defranco or Tracy Chapman though, Chapman probably the only artist I think who can take a song like that and make it bleed even more. | |

[Edited 7/26/09 22:50pm] Your hairdresser BETTER give good cuts then because they're WRONG "...and If all of this Love Talk ends with Prince getting married to someone other than me, all I would like to do is give Prince a life size Purple Fabric Cloud Guitar that I made from a vintage bedspread that I used as a Christmas Tree Skirt."

Kate Bush. NO comparison at all. I adore Kate, she's my 2nd fave singer of all time and in my estimation, the greatest female singer/songwriter Britain ever had. This Post is produced, arranged, composed and performed by WetDream | |

[Edited 7/26/09 22:50pm] Your hairdresser BETTER give good cuts then because they're WRONG I agree, my hairdresser is dead wrong on thinking that Maxwell's version is better than Kate's. I'm still shaking my head over it. RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |

CalhounSq said: Maxwell's live Unplugged version by miles...
Agreed. Although the original is still worth its weight in gold.
I always thought this song was about a miscarriage.  Am I only one that gets that from the lyrics? | |

Without QUESTION: Kate Bush.
I very rarely listen to it because it's such a thing of beauty, I never want to tire of it. And it's emotionally exhausting.   
Just an amazing, amazing track.  | |

IMO - Maxwell is trying very hard to be "soulful" and honest. While Kate, just is. | |
