01. KATE BUSH - MOMENTS OF PLEASURE (1993) Taken from: The Red Shoes and Director’s Cut Reached: 26 https://youtube/watch?v=pW5hjWVS3ho § · A seemingly routine ballad (by Bush’s standards) about the sadness sparked by thinking fondly of lost loved ones. But, driven by strings and piano, it is one of her most painful and personal songs – the memories she recalls here are strictly for Bush’s circle only (“Hey there, Bubba, dancing down the aisle of a plane”), yet they touch upon universal truths. If it doesn’t nudge a tear or two, try the moodier Director’s Cut reworking. You’ll be a wreck. · Moments of Pleasure was released as the second single from Bushs album The Red Shoes in 15 November 1993 and its highest charting position in the UK was number 26. · In this song Bush remembers friends and family who have died, including guitarist Alan Murphy, film director Michael Powell, dancer Gary Hurst, lighting engineer Bill Duffield and others. · Composer and musician Michael Kamen arranged and conducted the orchestra, expanding on Bushs original piano accompaniment. · Bush wrote the chorus to those we love, to those who will survive for her mother, who was sick at the time of recording. She died a short time later. · The Directors Cut version does not feature the chorus.
