"Moments of Pleasure" is a song written and recorded by musician Kate Bush. It was released as the third single from Bush's seventh studio album, The Red Shoes, in November 1993.
In this song, Bush remembers friends and family who have died, including guitarist Alan Murphy, film director Michael Powell, dancer Gary Hurst, lighting engineer Bill Duffield, and others. Composer and musician Michael Kamen arranged and conducted the orchestra, expanding on Bush's original piano accompaniment. Bush wrote the chorus "to those we love, to those who will survive" for her mother, who was sick at the time of recording. She died a short time later. The Director's Cut version features the chorus without lyrics.
"Moments of Pleasure" peaked at number 26 on the UK Singles Chart.
