THE MAN WITH THE CHILD IN HIS EYES

Technically the fourth international single from Kate Bush's debut LP The Kick Inside (1978), "The Man with the Child in His Eyes" was backed with "Moving". "Moving" was released as the A-side to a single in the Japanese market, b/w "Wuthering Heights" (which was her first single in the UK). Also in the Japanese market, "The Man with the Child in His Eyes" was the B-side to "Them Heavy People" (which I feel is much more appropriate A-side material honestly).

"The Man with the Child in His Eyes" is one of her most beautiful songs, as I've put it before, out of her classic early-album piano ballads. A highly memorable song, it's pretty fully orchestrated with a string section backing her on the keys. The introduction to the official music video has sort of echoes of "He's here" before the piano lifts it off. I had just never heard that before today. I've definitely seen images from this video before. Very simple. Just Kate sitting cross-legged on the floor, bookended with her in fetal position on a bright white floor.

I would say the significantly stronger of the two is "Moving". This is great latter-day (second-wave) Prog/Art Pop. A tad on the darker side, it has a fuller production in the now traditional (Wall of Sound) studio Rock fashion. Perhaps some strings, but, in the least, it's got drum and bass. Great drumming, by the way, and warm bass. Always loved the lines "Don't think it over, it always takes you over / And sets your spirit dancing". There's something in the way she sings this part that's really, for lack of a better word, moving. Awesome bridge on this'n. As for its music video, it features the classic, expected interpretive dancing of Ms. Bush outside of a... castle?
