The video for This Woman's Work was on MTV this morning. The video opens with Kate playing piano and singing. The rest of the room is dark, you can see only Kate and the piano. The camera shows a room - a hospital waiting room - chairs, two windows, coffee vending machine, a man (now I _know_ I've seen him before, who is he?) sitting down, holding his head in his hands, then pacing around, nervous, waiting. It's raining outside. Kate appears - as a ghost - a rain of gold, the camera circles and we are in a forest - with Kate and the man - there is a red telephone booth on the background, lit inside. It is dark. The camera moves again - we are back in the hospital, a nurse comes in - it's Kate - no, blink your eyes and it is someone else - she tells the man something. Bad news. It has stopped raining - the camera moves again - a dinner table, Kate sitting, laughing - she throws her head back - and back - and she falls backwards - the man catches her, carries her to a car - drives frantically in a rain of gold (she had a lot of that stuff left over from Love and Anger, huh?) - into the hospital. Kate is rushed away. We are back in the waiting room - a nurse comes in, smiling - tells the man something. Kate is okay. ++sja

Didn't like the video much myself. Might have been better just to use the clip from "She's Having a Baby". -- Geoff Clare, UniSoft Limited, Saunderson House, Hayne Street, London EC1A 9HH gwc@root.co.uk (Dumb mailers: ...!uunet!root.co.uk!gwc) Tel: +44-1-315-6600

Whatever you think about the vid., it was nice to see it on Top of the Pops, fitting snugly between the Jason Donovan and the Queen.
