Kate Bush - The Man with the Child in His Eyes - Official Music Video 

As a punk rocker back in the 1970's, Kate, I'd lie in my bed at night with my transistor radio, listening to all the new punk tracks being released worldwide. Then, one night, one of the radio presenters said this, "There's this new girl who's appeared on the scene, I don't know how to describe her, her name is Kate Bush and this track is called 'Wuthering Heights'... Well, it's 2023 and the old punk rocker still loves you to this day, dear lady :) .

People need to stop asking if anyone is still listening We never stopped! This is our Kate .. why would we ??

She wrote this aged 13 years. No words to describe this.

In an age where anyone can be famous for anything, This is what a proper musical genius sounds like.

A beautiful hypnotic record ! Who is still enjoying this in 2024 ? 💙

Composer, dancer, poet and incredible vocalist. She was a one woman army in the music scene. They dont let talents like hers blossom any more.

In '91 my then fiancee and I had a bike accident in which she died, when her things were being sent back to her mother they found a photo' of me on that particular 'bike, on the reverse of the photo' was the title of this song. Now 29 years later this upload caught my attention and I'm crying again the same way that I did that night. RIP Denise, I think about you every day.

Anyone listening in 2024?

"Maybe he doesn't love me-- I just took a trip on my love for him?' If a 13 year old really wrote that it leaves me speechless....

At some point in your life, if you're lucky, you will hear a piece of music, a song or just a woman's voice. This Song represents all of those and so much more to me. I first heard this in 1978 at 18 years old, I am now 62 very nearly 63, 45 years and it still gives me goose bumps. It will be played at my funeral when I die (no plans anytime soon though) Kate's music continues to blow me away to this day. Genius.

When you can write a song like this when you're 13 years old, you must have a old soul. Absolutely fantastic!

Oh my God, so many years have passed. But this song has lost none of its magic and beauty. Thank you Kate, thank you for all the beautiful moments I was able to experience with your music.

This track is haunting and beautiful.. .it doesn't age ..sounds good over 40 years later...a master piece of writing...⭐

At 13, when Kate wrote this, she seems to have a mind many years ahead. Now she is in her 60's and I've discovered, she really was so unique, a gift to all of us, that's so rare. Thank you Kate Bush.

This woman is operating on a different artistic level. She is hard- wired into English culture of the last 50 years. She makes songs of incomparable beauty.

If you’re coming from Stranger Things - welcome to the best back catalogue ever.

This song makes me think of my darling dead husband. He was the man with the child in his eyes - always open, trusting, loving to those who loved him. I have a picture of him aged three. To his family he stayed as true hearted and generous as that child all his life.

I'm a grown man and this song reduces me to a gibbering wreck every time

I'm grieving my love who died a month ago. He was 17 when I met him and he just died at 70. I feel his presence and every word in these lyrics seems to make perfect sense to me. How would a 13 year old girl write that?

LYRICS: I hear him, before I go to sleep And focus on the day that's been I realise he's there When I turn the light off and turn over Nobody knows about my man They think he's lost on some horizon And suddenly I find myself Listening to a man I've never known before Telling me about the sea All his love is 'til eternity Ooh, he's here again The man with the child in his eyes Ooh, he's here again The man with the child in his eyes He's very understanding And he's so aware of all my situations When I stay up late He's always waiting, but I feel him hesitate Oh, I'm so worried about my love They say, "No, no, it won't last forever!" And here I am again, my girl Wondering what on Earth I'm doing here Maybe he doesn't love me I just took a trip on my love for him Ooh, he's here again The man with the child in his eyes Ooh, he's here again The man with the child in his eyes

Kate vibrates a little higher than most of us. ❤️

She actually wrote this at the age of 13 and recorded at 16. Next time you watch one of these endless stream of TV talent shows and the wannabees (having sang yet another cover song) are told , "you are marvellous" , please remember that fact and appreciate what a real musical genius is!

2021 anyone listening???1🍀🙃🙂

If you put a human, a fairy, a siren and a unicorn in a blender, you get a Kate Bush. Only her songs can descripe the beauty of this women.

Masterpiece, written at the age of 13......Mindblowing!!!

Personally think she is the greatest female artist ever .

Personally think she is the greatest female artist ever .

Beautiful music has a soul, and lives forever! Peace and love to all!

If you know and appreciate musical,lyrical, artistry,composing,theatrical,choreography, passion,and much much more Kate has them all.

It's completely ridiculous that someone could write something so lyrically perfect at 13 years old. Occasionally, artists come along that are more than gifted. Kate is definitely one of them. How many artists can say they write their own songs, play many of the instruments, choreograph their videos and sing, play, dance, and perform so perfectly. The fact that many of her hits were written as a teenager is crazy She's a genius

Thank god to Dave Gilmour for finding her, and I'm here in 2024 .

I was 22 years old when this was first released and it was beautiful then. Having just listened to it now at the age of 67 it has gone way beyond beautiful into something quite magical and utterly brilliant.

My late brothers favorite artist.he was in love with her... Its the anniversary of his death on the 8th.. I miss him,and listening to the music he liked makes me feel close to him

Eccentric, creative, a little bonkers, original, classy, genius. The legend that is Kate 👌🏻

Her best song IMO. And she wrote it when she was 13. Freak of nature and I'm so thankful that I share my little slice of life with her.

Thank Dave Gilmour

Less than 6 million views in 11 years?!!! What’s the matter with people?

Fucking Beautiful song. How anyone can't love this sheer quality of stuff is beyond me. Sod Em. their loss.

Easily THE Best British female musician of all time

Some people don’t understand how amazing she is. Talk about perfect pitch. She’s like her own instrument that can’t be replicated

Absolutely stunning, beautiful...Kate is a genius. Love her.

I swear she's from another world

I hear him Before I go to sleep And focus on the day that's been I realize he's there When I turn the light off And turn over Nobody knows about my man They think he's lost on some horizon And suddenly I find myself listening To a man I've never known before Telling me about the sea Oh his love is to eternity Ooh he's here again The man with the child in his eyes Ooh he's here again The man with the child in his eyes He's very understanding and he's so Aware of all my situations When I stay up late He's always with me What I feel when I hesitate Oh I'm so worried about my love They say no, No it won't last forever And here I am again my girl Wondering what on earth I am doing here Maybe he doesn't love me I just took a trip on my love for him Ooh he's here again The man with the child in his eyes Ooh he's here again The man with the child in his eyes

Profoundly beautiful

England take good care of this Angel please, she is unique and one of the few remaining Greats in Music. 💜Kate 4ever

The highest praise I can give her is that I regarded her as the female equivalent of Bowie. Her incorporation of dance and mime into her act, wonderful songs and videos and sheer originality made her the best British artiste of her time. Her superlative talent only highlighted by the sheer dross around today.

This never fails to bring tears. I especially love the use of the French horn in its medium to upper register--such warmth! And when the horn doubles Kate in the chorus, it's so effective!

AND SHE WROTE THIS SONG WITH 13 YEARS OLD.....

"Maybe he doesn't love me, I just took a trip on my love for him"...HOW THE HELL CAN A 13 YEAR OLD WRITE THAT LYRIC????

If this was the last piece of music I'd listen to before I died I'd die a happy chap

My favourite Kate Bush song too - soothing voice and hauntingly beautiful music.

Taylor Swift, Madonna, Ariana Grande, Rhiana ... pay attention, this is what genius sounds like, just in case you mistook yourself for that :-)

In the 1970s i met a girl while on holiday, we were young and fell in love. I never saw her again but I still miss her to this day. This song was on the radio at that time and I think of her whenever i hear it as if it was just yesterday. I hope you had a good life Suzanne T.

Thanks to Dave Gilmour for finding this gem of utter brilliance for us. Kate is incomparable.

The Kick Inside just has to be one of the FINEST debut albums ever ever recorded.

Came here by way of Rick Beato in 2023. Wasn't aware of this song before now. This performance is magnificent, the songwriting is exquisite. Totally blown away.

Her voice was always and still magic

She wrote this when she was thirteen. Incredible.

Always in tears when I hear this. I'm no wimp this just moves me. Gorgeous.

Pause for a moment as you enjoy the sublime Kate Bush, and remember that she was *_JUST 13 YEARS OLD_* when she wrote this masterpiece... 🖤

I was 19 years old when I heard Wuthering Heights! I was instantly mesmerized by it. I am 63 years old now, still listen to it, and still can sing it. Kate was really out of this world!

beautiful, haunting. She goes right to your soul.

Recording was made when she was 16. Video shot when 19.

Envy the generation who - thanks to stranger things - are discovering kate's music for the first time. Delighted this musical genius is finally getting the acclaim she deserves

What I've always loved about this song is that part where she sings "Oooh, he's here again" and it's like her voice becomes one with the brass instrumental of the song. Totally enchanting.

Maybe he doesn’t love me. Maybe I just took a trip on my love for him. 😭 How does one write something this profound at 13 years old?

How do you write a song like this age 13

Kate Bush is a national treasure. The only one that has never let us down. She comes from a place of genius, born of such purity and elegance, that we can only listen and gaze in wonderment. She is to music and poetry what the moon and stars are to the night sky.

What a woman!

The strings and French horn arrangement (in combination with the beautiful melody, singing and words) brings tears to the eyes. Oh the power of music.

My God, she’s beautiful.

You know how some people hear songs. And it gives them a weird sense of unease. Because it feels like they heard it from another life or that. It just makes you not feel right. This song is that song to me. The chorus of "The man with a child in his eyes" disturbs me. And I. I don't know why

If you look up for "good music" in the dictionary, you'll find a pic of Kate Bush

How does a 13 year old **girl** write a song like this?... Seriously! This was some next level shit..... Gobsmacking..... The song Kite was conceived when Kate was 11!!! She was a Queen even while still being nothing more than a Princess...

My favourite Kate Bush song. Beautiful.

“Has it ever struck you that life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quick you hardly catch it going?”― Tennessee Williams

Pretty sure Kate will re be remembered longer than Elvis.

Quote from Kate Bush (forward to How to Be Invisible Lyric Book) A few years ago I happened to meet the man I'd been madly in love with when I was about thirteen. It had been a real schoolgirl's crush, and he had had no idea. When I told him that he was 'The Man with the Child in his Eyes' , and that I had written the song for him, he was extremely surprised. I got the feeling it kind of made his day, but I don't think he ever told anyone. I'm not sure he really believed me. She also indicates she was 15 not 16 when she recorded the final version of the song as it was in the middle of her mock O levels making it 1974 rather than the usually reported 1975.

Why does this song suddenly touch me .............;; maybe because I have never heard what a spiritual layering is in it !!!

She was 13 when she wrote this.....that almost taking the piss with talent..stunning talent.

She was 13 when she wrote this - just an amazing talent

This girl is a genius.

This is just insanely good. 💯

Wow what a song!!

Is she the most beautiful woman ever ?

God I just love her voice. So distinctive and a full vocal range. Simply stunning.

i remember my late dad listening to this over and over again, im now doing the same !

Can anybody please explain why so many absolutely GREAT artists are coming from such a (relatively !) tiny island ? 😃

This song is timeless. I'm listening to it in 2020 and it feels as if the song has been composed recently.

Hands down the most talented woman to ever grace our ears. The way she modulates is incredible.

I fell in love with Kate Bush when I was a teenager. I'm 61 now and she is still a Goddess to me.

Such gorgeous expressiveness. Musically, lyrically and visually Kate is an angel, a nymph and a faery. Fantastic!

Possibly of the best songs ever written. But oh my! songs were so short when I worked in a tiny record shop in N London …..

Is she really human, or an Angel with a divine voice? Always gives me goose bumps.

it is incredible that a thirteen year old girl wrote this masterpiece

Dear Dann... This is your song. We played it for you at your memorial. I hope you were pleased. How can we tell you how special you will always be, to so many people? We all love you and miss you. With love, PooBear

This is such a beautiful song. I was about 11 or 12 at the time this was recorded, and I had the biggest crush. Listening to the song now and watching the original video, I think she is still one of the most beautiful and talented people I've ever seen.

This song takes me back to August 1978 in North Devon and we had simple pleasures...

Always said female bowie that was Ziggy only a women

An original, I don't think there are many artist of her caliber
