Number 2

MAXWELL - THIS WOMAN'S WORK (UNPLUGGED)

(Bush)

(1997)

(Not released)

The tussel for number one was a tough one, but this Kate Bush cover was just pipped by the other. The vocals on this song are amazing, Maxwell sings in falsetto throughout the whole song, live and unfaltering. Whilst he is not the most famous of men, he appears to be an underrated talent. The song itself is open to interpretation, i believe the song to be about the death of Bush's mother, though i am not sure this is the case. I feel this best fits with the context of the song. IT is very sad and i think Maxwell's version is just that little bit more emotive than Bush's. This song holds many memories for me and one that i always play to people when they want to discover new music as i feel it is an 'undiscovered' treasure. However ever, lately, the Bush version has been tarnished by Childline and Extras
