“This Woman’s Work” by Kate Bush (“Wogan”, 1989)

Performance from BBC1’s “Wogan” (UK, 6 December 1989)🔥 Kate: “Really, the subject matter in the film laid down the grounds for what the song was about. It's the man waiting in a waiting room while his wife is in there having a baby, and there are complications. So it's the exploration of someone being left on their own in a big way, very suddenly. In this part of the film, the guy has to grow up, he's suddenly confronted with all these terrible things, that he could be a much better human being. It's moments like that that make you feel these things.” And life's not all fun and games. “No, and that you should really try and make the most of it when you can, and not when it's too late.” (Radio “WFNX” , Boston, 1989) “It was a very easy song to write. It was very quick. It was the first song that I wrote for ‘The Sensual World’ album. In fact at the time we weren't even sure whether to put it on the album or not.” (from the KB Convention, 17 November 1990)
