Written for the movie ''She's Having a Baby'',〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Kate Bush News & Information: Frequently Asked Questions )〕 director John Hughes used the song during the film's dramatic climax, when Jake (Kevin Bacon) learns that the lives of his wife (Elizabeth McGovern) and their unborn child are in danger. As the song plays, we see a montage sequence of flashbacks showing the couple in happier times, intercut with shots of him waiting for news of Elizabeth and their baby's condition. Bush wrote the song specifically for the sequence, writing from a man's (Jake's) viewpoint and matching the words to the visuals which had already been filmed.〔http://www.katebushnews.com/faq.htm#7〕 The version of the song that was featured on ''The Sensual World'' was re-edited from the original version featured on the film soundtrack. The version released as a single was a third, slightly different mix. "This Woman's Work" is one of several songs that were completely re-recorded on her 2011 album ''Director's Cut''. The new version features a sparse performance of Bush playing the piano and singing. Composition According to the sheet music published in Musicnotes.com by Sony/ATV Music Publishing, the song is set in the time signature of common time, with a slow tempo of 66 beats per minute. It is written in the key of A-flat major with Bush's vocal range spanning from A3 to E5. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「This Woman's Work」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
