The world needs Kate now more than ever.❤

Seeing that little shrew flying through the air terrified and shrieking was more powerful than any front page of the guardian. That’s why art is important and Kate bush is an artist not a pop singer. Beautiful and moving mix of sound and video

[nellies]

This is so beautiful, but so heartbreaking. I can't stop crying. I think there's a reason why Snowflake didn't get a video before, it was meant to get a video now. This gives the song a whole new meaning. "The world is so loud" 💔

[tothelighthouse]

I'm sobbing. Artists remind us who we are & what our work is. Thank you, Kate.

[RosePetal]

This speaks to so many issues the world is facing right now. War, environmental issues, isolation and loss. Kate always finds the delicate balance in humanity💕🙌🏻✨✨

[Nico-gdko]

made me tear up. those poor children, no matter what country it is, no matter the good or the evil, the poor children is what breaks my heart the most.

[markbowen]

So profoundly moving. I pray it reaches those who need to see and hear it.

[JamieSummersMusic]

So beautiful. Love Kate's commitment to War Child & peace.
Oh England my Lionheart, Army Dreamers, Breathing, Pull out the Pin and many more with anti war sentiments.

[juliejenner]

I am weeping. This is so deeply sad and desperate and yet hopeful.
Kate you are a beautiful Soul
Thank you for reaching out to children desperately caught up in war and sometimes those caught up also in waring parents.
This is a profoundly moving way of connecting all humanity with the pain children are in and with a way to begin to help.
Thank you
Love Julie
💙🙏🏻🕊️

What a powerful message. Beautiful animation and sung so tenderly. The world needs you back Kate. Made me cry.

[walteredstates]

I am sharing in all of the sentiments expressed, before, in the comments, and am leaving another one, just for the algorithm - and because it feels so good to have this virtual space of humanity to gather in, and be moved by her music and kindness and active help.
Thank you

[jelniemeijer]

Beautiful! And to be honest..i was allready crying just to hear her speak on the radio! I love her and everything she stands for! Always❤

[geraldswan]

God, that woman knows how to write a song. Welcome back Ms Bush, you have been much missed.

[gavinelder]

This grabs me in the same way Dream of Sheep did. Both messages of helplessness and hope...

I can't keep my eyes open, wish I had my radio...

[Cicilo]

The world IS so loud. One of the best and most truthful lyrics ever, in spite of its brevity.

[lorraineroth]

So Powerful and Numbing. We get desensitized when we see childern in war torn places they live and go to school on the news. Kate Bush is right when she said if it were a dog and animal we would jump and act and do more. Thank you for putting this amazing peice of music to animation. Peace and Love is for sharing.

[Angelicala]

Heartbreaking. My dad loved you and I do too, forever a fan. The thought of any child getting hurt AND any animal for that matter shatters my heart. This is a scary world. You are some light 💫

[steveinglis]

From a dark winter November morning hearing Wuthering Heights released on BBC Radio 1. I've loved her ever since. An incredible artist. This is deeply beautiful and moving. ❤

[bossmare]

A beautiful look at a horrible situation.
Thank you 💖🙏

[olivierrougeot]

Kate Bush is the lighthouse leading to the harbor in those troubled times.
So much thanks.
