Good for you ! What I wouldn't give to be in your shoes with an amazing catalog of music just waiting to be discovered . You have so much more Kate to enjoy you will be musically busy for years and I promise you that you will enjoy every moment of what's to come . If you are like me you'll start with her motr accessible work then move into the quirky and darker stuff as time goes on . This is the song that introduced me to Kate Bush but it was back in 1987 thanks to a UHF based video channel that played the stuff MTV would not . When I heard this song it changed the way I thought about music . After I played the hell out of "Hounds of Love" I went looking for more of her work and was pretty astonished to find out her first album "The Kick Inside" was released in 1978 when I was 5 years old and I had a great deal of catching up to do . I love all of her work even the strange and ethereal stuff but if I had to pick a favorite album its "Kick Inside" . If you have yet to check it out I highly suggest it and I can say with great certainty that the first three tracks will blow your mind . The stand out track is "James and the Cold Gun" it's a bit more straight forward rock than most of her stuff and she just sets it ablaze . Enjoy!
Fantastic! 😄 Dont forget to show her kates amazing dance performances! I can remember as a kid seeing her doing these crazy body movement exploring dances and being amazed. I for the first time understood these dancers who explore the human body and express through it. Led to me appreciating music theater and the arts in general. I really feel it was kate who opened my eyes to it. Instead of seeing dancers writhe about and turn the tv channel over, i took a moment to watch and thats all you need. Just to give it a chance before you decide it is or isnt for you. Have to say no one quite did the popular music with interpretive dance as good as kate though!! 😀 Seeya COOL GRANDMA hehe
Right on Ruby! Kate Bush is a one off, truly unique and my teenage daughter is totally mind blown! This song is now streaming more than Harry styles so my daughter tells me! So happy for Kate too. ❤️
I've always loved her because she does her own thing her own way. She's never seemed to be that interested in chasing trends and reinventing herself to what's supposedly currently hip in a desperate attempt to stay relevant. She even 'vanishes' for years to focus on other things like raising her family and then only comes back when she's good and ready.

I love how Stranger Things has introduced this masterpiece to a younger generation. Before it was kinda a forgotten 80s hidden gem. The 1985/1986 synth based productions were incredible and Kate Bush is an absolute legend
Since there is so little actual original music these days, it’s a hoot to point out to my son, “Oh, yeah, that was a song I listened to in the 80s.” He gives me this priceless look, and followed by, “Really? No way!”
Even though she's miming on a mid-week light entertainment show, this performance is amazing. She has so much stage presence and charisma. It's such a shame she never liked touring. As someone who's loved her since I was a kid in the 70's, I'd give a kidney or two to see her live. I'm so glad that the world has finally caught up with awesome you are.
The reason the song is resonating so well with todays generation via stranger things is simple, it’s an original song sung by a superb artist that never sounded like anything else in 85 and that also applies in 2022. People just recognise brilliance☺️
I don't know, man. I don't think "todays (sic) generation" really gives a shit about originality or "brilliance". Look at the garbage that's produced and consumed now. It's popular because it's on a show.
Yes, this is true, but there is one more thing. Currently a very dark, ominous cloud is over the heads of the people in the world (the threat of the World War III.) and this song gives back something from this suppressed, bad feeling about the future.
I used to drive my Mum mad playing this track on it’s original release in 1985. “Hasn’t she got to the top of that bloody hill yet”? I suppose we can all say that now 37 years later, yes, yes she has. I’m so thrilled about what’s happening worldwide at a time when we all could benefit from your infectiously creative positive vibes 💜 🎶 KEEP RUNNING 🎶💜
@@apaul5572 And the longest gap ever between Number One singles, and the oldest woman ever to have one - breaking Cher's record that had stood since 1998. Incredible 😄
As a 72 year old man I'm tickled that 17 year olds are discovering Kate Bush. You like Kate? Try The Dreaming (1982). It's the most original and experimental album she ever made, and I suspect that's why it was overlooked at the time. On the basis of that record alone Kate's a genius. Every song on that album is formally audacious musically and lyrically like a compressed novel. When I first heard Sat In My Lap on the radio I was stunned. It sounded like a playful mashup of "pop" music and avant-garde European art music! I had to find out where it came from and who made it. I discovered The Dreaming and Kate Bush. That was 40 years ago. I'm so glad Kate is finally getting the recognition she has always deserved.
Thanks for the recommendation! I have been a fan of music from the 70s and 80s since my teen years around the 2000s, but thanks to some very unfortunate luck it seems, I never looked into her work before - until she exploded back into the world recently. And it's some amazing stuff!
Before running up that hill was released to stranger things, I listened to it all the time! I’m 11 years old, and I think it’s a great song. Kate was angry tho with the song once, since it was called “A Deal With God” but she had to change it. So that’s why it’s called Running Up That Hill. Kate should have gotten the recognition years ago because it’s a huge hit! (I am saying it in a positive way) I love the song, and I’m happy that it’s more popular than ever!
Eh, this already reached very close to the top of the charts when it was released and Kate Bush has had other hits that reached no 1. back in the 80s. Wuthering Heights was UK's number one back when she was 19 so it's not at all like she had been waiting for it for her whole life if that's what you're suggesting...
@@sluxi I wasn't suggesting she was waiting for a number 1 all her life. Not at all. You are putting words in my mouth with your presumptuous, incorrect, cynical assumptions. I was saying it is rare for there to be such a huge gap between releasing a song and that song reaching number 1. And I meant that in a positive way. Go spread your cynicism elsewhere
@@A_friendwithoutbenefits Well, I absolutely did not put words in your mouth since I said I wasn't sure if that was what you were saying. In any case you came off like that. Kate Bush was a legend already before this one song rising to the top of the charts again so while I'm sure she is glad to see the song there it's unlikely to be a life changing event for her. It's nice that more and more people are finding out about the song again though. Look, it's not that I'm cynical. Just strikes me as belittling the long career of an extremely distinguished artist to put it the way you did. I do believe you didn't mean to imply anything like that.
@@sluxii knew Kate Bush is a legend already, and I was already aware of her achievements including those you've mentioned. It's condescending you are explaining Kate Bush to me as if I knew nothing about her before this track. I grew up in the UK in the 80s, I am well aware
From a current teenager: I've been listening to her for years with people my age not knowing who she is when I mentioned her, so I'm SO happy that more kids my age are finally listening to and admiring this goddess!
Listening to Kate all over again at the age of 57 just makes me feel 20 again. She was always 'experimental', but she usually got it right despite going against what was considered 'commercial'. I went to a school back in 1982 with a lad who was probably more of a musical geek than any of us, and he considered Kate to be a goddess of music and was 'out and proud' of his position. With hindsight of nearly 40 years, I would say that he was on the money as her music never grows old, and has outgrown a lot of music from the time.
Yeah while there was a lot of good & great 80s music there was also a big pile of shite too IMO. [most of the Stock, Aitken & Waterman catalogue for example] But some gems stand the test of time & Kate's music is definitely on that list. I always especially loved Dream of Sheep & Hello Earth from Hounds of Love but uh, I loved the entire album too if I'm honest. Oh & yes, your friend was correct. LOL.
I'm 52... loved Kate from Wuthering Heights and The Man with the Child in His Eyes (my all time favourite - memories of hearing it on the radio at th beach in '78). It was this song, Running Up that Hill, plus the Hounds of Love album that really captured me as a lifelong fan. The whole album (all of them, actually) and especially The Dreaming. I have an old photo my sister took of me when I was 15, sitting on my bed and proudly displaying the cover of The Dreaming album. To me, Kate is the most inspiring artist ever born.
Ikr. like all her vids back then. She gave everything to act out the emotion portrayed. My she did it well using her melodic vocals, facial expression & ballet skills...I'm mean com'on 👏.
I watched a documentary, people that worked with her said she just kinda possessed and live in the world of the song she sing at all time. Like being in a trance, fully indulge in it.
Im 16, and goddamn her music truly is standalone. Ive never heard such a good artist, pure talent and just stunning sound. (Definitely the music nowadays feels so hollow, so so hollow and empty and just like hungry wolves that are trying to ravish themselves to the top but all the wolves are so equally matched and not even close to how good they could have been. No one will truly ever live up to the legacy of artists like her and just artists around her time. Especially as people only strive to be like the crowd now and never takes risk to truly stand out.)
Very well put ! Im turning 46 and I agree completely with you. I remember this song and the song Cloudbursting with an awesome video in the midst of the 80s, it left an impression and I am now on a binge listening to all her songs I´ve missed, been into other stuff during life. But it´s great to re-discover the magic that is Kate Bush. Its beautiful!!!
I first heard this song sung by a group called Placebo. My middle son ended his life 12.24.08...this song was on his Playlist (MP3 Player) along with a lot of Placebo, I was hooked. This song has so much meaning to me...because if I only could, Make a deal with God, I'm get him to swap our places! I love and miss you so very much Jordan Michael 💙 Always on my mind, Forever in my heart! ❤️
I'm glad Stranger Things is introducing new generations to Kate Bush's ethereal music. "Running Up That Hill" was the perfect choice for Max' graveyard scene. So cool this video is remastered in 4K
I was a teenager in the 80's and just remember Kate Bush as being pretty weird. There was so much good music back then that I didn't really take much notice of her's. Now, I listen to her songs and am amazed how good they really are. She was probably way ahead of her time and now we are just catching up.
Are you American? I am curious if Americans thought she was weird. I am American and fell in love with Running up that HIll. There was no turning back after hearing that song. Her music was too advanced for most Americans, it took our country 37 years to catch up to where Kate was 37 years ago.
Only getting more amazing as the years go by, Kate will never be equalled since the era of the singer-songwriter is effectively over. Besides, there was no man before her
So beautifully said. I so often gift people, strangers, so needful of the sensual word. Those grand fat deep words in chaos, brilliant comes that light, 💋of love.
I mean it's slightly surreal to have all this dug up again and I'm not even sure Kate can relate to it, but it is gratifying for those of us who have been spellbound for OVER 40 FUCKING YEARS.
Kate Bush explained in 1985: "It's about a relationship between a man and a woman. They love each other very much, and the power of the relationship is something that gets in the way. It creates insecurities. "It's saying if the man could be the woman and the woman the man, if they could make a deal with God, to change places, that they'd understand what it's like to be the other person and perhaps it would clear up misunderstandings. You know, all the little problems; there would be no problem." Kate also spoke about the song has been misinterpreted, saying: "I was trying to say that, really, a man and a woman can't understand each other because we are a man and a woman. And if we could actually swap each other's roles, if we could actually be in each other's place for a while, I think we'd both be very surprised! "And I think it would lead to a greater understanding. And really the only way I could think it could be done was either... you know, I thought a deal with the devil, you know. And I thought, 'well, no, why not a deal with God!' You know, because in a way it's so much more powerful the whole idea of asking God to make a deal with you. "You see, for me it is still called 'Deal With God'. that was its title. But we were told that if we kept this title that it would not be played in any of the religious countries, Italy wouldn't play it, France wouldn't play it, and Australia wouldn't play it! Ireland wouldn't play it, and that generally we might get it blacked purely because it had God in the title."
This performance always slays! Imagine when this first aired and the naysayers mouths dropped and the fans rejoiced from the sheer brilliance and beauty of this song. Welcome back then, Kate, and welcome back now!🏹
I remember in 1986, Sounds music paper ran a 100 Greatest Singles, and I think Prince's Kiss was number one, and Running up that hill was the greatest by a white artist.Were there any naysayers?
Hands up who a litte bit envious of the younger generations being able to discover Kates work for the first time.............. they can bing listern. We had to wait years between albums.
I’m 20, I’ve been listening to her since I was 18 and I am envious of your generation because you had a chance of seeing her live, she was young and dropped many albums and there was people of your age who loved her. I don’t know anyone who’s my age who listens to her, I’ll probably never see her live and if I consider myself lucky if she drops one last album before she dies (it’s been 13 years since the last album she’ll be 66 this year)
En los 80 habían tantas canciones buenas y legendarias que solo hasta hoy me doy cuenta lo hermosa que es está canción. Canciones geniales pasaron desapercibidas. 😏
I'm glad Kate's music is being appreciated by younger audiences while she's still with us, as it often only happens after the artist is deceased, as in the cases of fellow icons Lennon and Bowie.
I was in college back in the early 80's in Washington when I walked in on a friend playing Kate Bush The Dreaming. It was new at the time in 1982. I fell instantly in love with her music. I really wish she had been as big in the US as she was in the UK. But I got every album. Kate Bush, Nina Hagen and Suzanne Vega will always be my favorite Female singers.
I'm only a year older than Kate Bush and can't believe 40 years has gone by. Check out Kate's Wuthering heights, and her duet with Peter Gabriel Don't Give Up. Both as good as this in my opinion.
@@andersd8956 yes but she also hates fame and media attention, it's why she doesn't give interviews or do tours etc she was never willing to play the game and be a big pop star media personality, she's not that type of person. It's not a mystery why she never became a household name outside the UK, talent only goes so far in making you a star. She's an artist who just wants to do her thing no interest in celebrity life and tbh you can't blame her, if you're a sensitive introvert type like her you can understand perfectly why that would be hell. She doesn't do big media events, no personal social media etc she just shows up every decade or so like hey I'm doing a show and it sells out in minutes lol because the peole know they are seeing a true artist not a carbon copy.
Having only heard this song for the first time in my life literally on Sunday, July 3, 2022. I cannot stop playing it!! The beat, her voice... Absolutely enthralled with this song & Kate Bush!!
Now you know why us old people love 80s music so much. There's so many more great ones like this from that decade. The sound and music is some of the most amazing I've ever heard.
I’m 23 and been into this era of music for a few years now, not just Kate Bush, but Depeche Mode, Talk Talk, OMD, Human League, Heaven 17, Kraftwerk, Jean-Michel Jarre, Howard Jones, Pulp, The Lightning Seeds, The Christians, Art of Noise, Soft Cell, Midge Ure, Ultravox, New Order, Nik Kershaw, Yazoo, Fleetwood Mac, The Smiths, Duran Duran, Pet Shop Boys, Simple Minds, Tears for Fears, Prefab Sprout, I’ve been absorbing all the new wave, post punk, electronic, art rock and pop I can from this time, and love it all. It makes me so happy to see others following suit all thanks to Stranger Things. She deserves it in droves for her genius!
@@michaelmaterne I adore Just Like Heaven but that’s it for The Cure. By the list above I’m more of an electronic guy, and part of my love for Just Like Heaven stems from feeling like it’s Joy Division’s Love Will Tear Us Apart - Happy Ending. 😂 Massive respect for Robert Smith as a songwriter and musician, but none of their other tracks that I’ve listened to quite grab me as much as I want to.
I remember first hearing this song on Casey Kasem American Top 40 in 1985. It had such a unique sound to it. Sometimes it gave me chills it was so awesome! God I miss the 80’s!
I'm a millenial and I so happy that Stranger Things led me to this masterpiece. Kate Bush is truly a talented artist. I always stunned by the live performance of the older generations, soulful vocals with no special effects and live music.
Spot the newbie 🙄, you don't have to say you've liked it for 20 years, we know you've only just found out about her, you don't have to impress anyone here.
Kate Bush is top of the charts in 2022. This really great news. It proves that good music is evergreen and never dies. We don't feel that old now Kate. Congratulations!
I am a huge hard-core fan since the beginning. I even moved to England to be able to feel your music more closely and I was lucky enough to be able to exchange a few words with you back in 1997 at one of those Queen´s Royal parties :-) I am thrilled! We are all Running Up That Hill again. Congratulations! xxx
1985 I was 24 & progressin thru to a successful completion a British Army SF course. I listened to Kate' track on a regular basis as I was 'running up those hills' (a metaphor for all the extreme challenges that had to be met and surpassed). It certainly added to all those experiences in a hugely positive manner.
After 40 years of this wonderful hit, the famous and talented artist would not have expected that the hit of her reign would be a soundtrack of an exceptional series! Stranger Things ❤
Kate, do you know that when Hounds Of Love was first released I listened to it at last a thousand time? Still, not a week goes by that I don't listen to the entire album (The Ninth Wave is engraved in my soul) or some beauties from it. It’s impossible for me not to dive in such a wonder… it makes me feel so good enjoying the whole world of emotions you share with us with each album. Eternally loyal and grateful❤️🔥
Absolutely sublime. I remember when I first heard this in the 80's. There had been nothing like it before and nothing quite like it since. Utterly brilliant, unique and wonderful, even 37 years later ❤❤❤
I can't EVER explain in exact words how I feel for being born in 1970, when I listen to music these days I feel like a miracle happened, the music from eighties AND nineties is absolutely breathtaking, compared to today feels like little miracles back then 😘😘😘😘😘 ❤️💕🎸🐾❤️💕❤️💕
Yeah I was born in 68 & it's good to see this generation getting into, what I consider to be, *REAL MUSIC.* While there was some gems in the 80s & some great tunes there also was a load of dross too like most of the Stock, Aitken & Waterman catalogue. But after the 90s things really went downhill IMO & as such even some S,A & W sounds good now. LOL. I love 60s & especially 70s music the most as the dross was pretty thin on the ground & from every genre there was quality whether it was Rock, Early Metal, *actual* R 'n' B, Motown, Punk & even in the commercial pop world with the Bee Gees & The Carpenters etc. [yes I probably missed some but you get my point] From the 21st century there is MUSE.., that is all... LOL. Oh & now that counter culture hip hop artists are rapping about things I can relate too I like some of them/that these days too. [Tom McDonald & Bryson Gray for example]
I'm a similar age and have been feeling more and more appreciation for the music of this era. Like I'm hearing it with new ears and can't believe how amazing and powerful are the songs of my youth.
The 80s were filled with true artistic talent from the UK. It's broad depth on display here. I always wondered where the inspiration comes from, but I think it was everything from 60s 70s finally coming together
She has such an amazing voice! Her voice is gorgeous. This is a true artist and I’m glad her song is getting recognition from Stranger Things. I’m also glad it was used in a BIG scene and not just in the background or for a dance. It was used for a meaningful scene. Which is exactly what this song deserves.
I’m 43 and had never heard this song before that episode of Stranger Things. Funny thing-my 17 yr old had it on her playlist prior to Stranger Things. So now I’m making her play songs for me to see what else I’ve been missing out on.
Really good music always finds a way to touch new audiences , it’s why the stellar artist like Kate and the Beatles will always have their music played by someone somewhere.
I had the pleasure of doing the stage sound on Kate's first and only tour and developed the Wireless Headset Mic for her........ not that it has anything to do with her brilliance. She was and is a phenomenon and very few artists are in that category. Still love everything you do Kate, and every memory too.✌🇬🇧
@@adamp108 ....no prob, I obviously took it the wrong way. 🙈 I was hired by the Who's sound company after doing a tour together. Their crew told me of the many problems (audio wise) to be solved in the upcoming KB tour, of which one was the fact she couldn't hold a mic due to the choreography, and I was offered the stage sound engineering job. After making the original Headset starting with a thick wire coathanger.....perfect metallurgical properties for the purpose and eventually bent to fit her....attached the small, hi quality lapel radio mic.... Setting it up for live stage use was rather complicated but it was fine. This was the 1st use of the Wireless headset Microphone and her tour was such a massive success. Many top artists wanted one immediately.✌🇬🇧

The 80s wasn't ready for this song ahead of its time
I loved this song when it came out. But I was into post-punk and jazz and Zappa, so it was right in my wheelhouse. Artistry and emotion.
The 80s was the perfect time for this masterpiece. Your 80s wasn’t the one I remember.
This song and cloudbusting was extremely hypnotizing for me as a child in the 80`s.

I've always loved her because she does her own thing her own way. She's never seemed to be that interested in chasing trends and reinventing herself to what's supposedly currently hip in a desperate attempt to stay relevant.

As a 72 year old man I'm tickled that 17 year olds are discovering Kate Bush. You like Kate? Try The Dreaming (1982). It's the most original and experimental album she ever made, and I suspect that's why it was overlooked at the time. On the basis of that record alone Kate's a genius. Every song on that album is formally audacious musically and lyrically like a compressed novel. When I first heard Sat In My Lap on the radio I was stunned. It sounded like a playful mashup of "pop" music and avant-garde European art music! I had to find out where it came from and who made it. I discovered The Dreaming and Kate Bush. That was 40 years ago. I'm so glad Kate is finally getting the recognition she has always deserved.
Thanks for the recommendation!
I have been a fan of music from the 70s and 80s since my teen years around the 2000s, but thanks to some very unfortunate luck it seems, I never looked into her work before - until she exploded back into the world recently. And it's some amazing stuff!
I thought most people new kate Bush '
Funny what we take for granted.
Before running up that hill was released to stranger things, I listened to it all the time! I’m 11 years old, and I think it’s a great song. Kate was angry tho with the song once, since it was called “A Deal With God” but she had to change it. So that’s why it’s called Running Up That Hill. Kate should have gotten the recognition years ago because it’s a huge hit! (I am saying it in a positive way) I love the song, and I’m happy that it’s more popular than ever!
Suspended in Gaffa was the song from that album for me. Ah, the 80s: being a naive young American living in London. Seems a bit like a dream.
whoa that's awesome!!
They picked the perfect song to re-discover. This is the epitome of timeless. I can't think of a decade that it wouldn't fit in 🔥
I agree,a true classic,I'm 50 in March,I was playing this at 16,had my own disco...I still remember all the greats...
Imagine releasing a song when you're 27 years old and it reaches number 1 when you're 63 years old
Eh, this already reached very close to the top of the charts when it was released and Kate Bush has had other hits that reached no 1. back in the 80s. Wuthering Heights was UK's number one back when she was 19 so it's not at all like she had been waiting for it for her whole life if that's what you're suggesting...
@@sluxi I wasn't suggesting she was waiting for a number 1 all her life. Not at all. You are putting words in my mouth with your presumptuous, incorrect, cynical assumptions.
I was saying it is rare for there to be such a huge gap between releasing a song and that song reaching number 1. And I meant that in a positive way. Go spread your cynicism elsewhere
@@A_friendwithoutbenefits Well, I absolutely did not put words in your mouth since I said I wasn't sure if that was what you were saying. In any case you came off like that.
Kate Bush was a legend already before this one song rising to the top of the charts again so while I'm sure she is glad to see the song there it's unlikely to be a life changing event for her. It's nice that more and more people are finding out about the song again though.
Look, it's not that I'm cynical. Just strikes me as belittling the long career of an extremely distinguished artist to put it the way you did. I do believe you didn't mean to imply anything like that.
@@sluxii knew Kate Bush is a legend already, and I was already aware of her achievements including those you've mentioned. It's condescending you are explaining Kate Bush to me as if I knew nothing about her before this track. I grew up in the UK in the 80s, I am well aware
I bet the background musicians are pleasantly surprised too. Early retirement check. 😆😌😏
From a current teenager: I've been listening to her for years with people my age not knowing who she is when I mentioned her, so I'm SO happy that more kids my age are finally listening to and admiring this goddess!
LITERALLY SAME
24 years here, but same.
You’re a very musically intelligent teenager. I first found her music as a teenager, but that was almost 30 years ago.
21 years here, but same 🥺💖
Is she like the lorde of that era?
Kate Bush & Bjork greatest female artists of all time
Listening to Kate all over again at the age of 57 just makes me feel 20 again. She was always 'experimental', but she usually got it right despite going against what was considered 'commercial'. I went to a school back in 1982 with a lad who was probably more of a musical geek than any of us, and he considered Kate to be a goddess of music and was 'out and proud' of his position. With hindsight of nearly 40 years, I would say that he was on the money as her music never grows old, and has outgrown a lot of music from the time.
Yeah while there was a lot of good & great 80s music there was also a big pile of shite too IMO. [most of the Stock, Aitken & Waterman catalogue for example] But some gems stand the test of time & Kate's music is definitely on that list. I always especially loved Dream of Sheep & Hello Earth from Hounds of Love but uh, I loved the entire album too if I'm honest. Oh & yes, your friend was correct. LOL.
Same age as you, mate! Totally agree.
I'm 69 and I love it!
I'm 52... loved Kate from Wuthering Heights and The Man with the Child in His Eyes (my all time favourite - memories of hearing it on the radio at th beach in '78). It was this song, Running Up that Hill, plus the Hounds of Love album that really captured me as a lifelong fan. The whole album (all of them, actually) and especially The Dreaming. I have an old photo my sister took of me when I was 15, sitting on my bed and proudly displaying the cover of The Dreaming album. To me, Kate is the most inspiring artist ever born.
@@luymcgee53 Nice!
The emotion she conveys with her face and body when performing this song, always brings me chills
The same for me ! From the very 1st sentence "it doesn't Hurt me"
Yes, but too bad it’s a lip sync :/
I thought the same...nothing happy here...raw emotion
Ikr. like all her vids back then. She gave everything to act out the emotion portrayed. My she did it well using her melodic vocals, facial expression & ballet skills...I'm mean com'on 👏.
I watched a documentary, people that worked with her said she just kinda possessed and live in the world of the song she sing at all time. Like being in a trance, fully indulge in it.
Im 16, and goddamn her music truly is standalone. Ive never heard such a good artist, pure talent and just stunning sound.
(Definitely the music nowadays feels so hollow, so so hollow and empty and just like hungry wolves that are trying to ravish themselves to the top but all the wolves are so equally matched and not even close to how good they could have been.
No one will truly ever live up to the legacy of artists like her and just artists around her time.
Especially as people only strive to be like the crowd now and never takes risk to truly stand out.)
Very well put ! Im turning 46 and I agree completely with you. I remember this song and the song Cloudbursting with an awesome video in the midst of the 80s, it left an impression and I am now on a binge listening to all her songs I´ve missed, been into other stuff during life. But it´s great to re-discover the magic that is Kate Bush. Its beautiful!!!
I first heard this song sung by a group called Placebo. My middle son ended his life 12.24.08...this song was on his Playlist (MP3 Player) along with a lot of Placebo, I was hooked. This song has so much meaning to me...because if I only could, Make a deal with God, I'm get him to swap our places! I love and miss you so very much Jordan Michael 💙 Always on my mind, Forever in my heart! ❤️
💖🙏🏼
You got me Sue with this post, hope you are living life with your boy held in your heart and as he would want you to
My thoughts to your son and your family 🙏🙏
Congratulations Kate! “Running Up That Hill” claims a second week at Number 1 on UK Singles Chart!
Three weeks!!!!
I'm glad Stranger Things is introducing new generations to Kate Bush's ethereal music. "Running Up That Hill" was the perfect choice for Max' graveyard scene. So cool this video is remastered in 4K
I know nothing about _Stranger Things,_ but the footage where they use Kate's song is one freaking powerful piece of television.
@@nevbarnes1034 You should check Stranger Things out! It's a lot of fun!
@@SleepFan771 I can't. I don't have a TV, let alone a Netflix account.
@@nevbarnes1034 Well yeah the Netflix account might be an issue but not the TV since it's not needed ;)
Kate never went away ! Every old is new again. Loved Kate when I first saw her on countdown all those years ago like many of my generation ?
For those of you that just found Kate, I am happy for you. Please check her back catalog, because this woman is special.
That is me
I'm 68 and I used to listen to her in my 20's. Her music is timeless.
When you mean it as she does, it lasts forever. SO. MUCH. RESPECT for her artistry.
Listened to her music in my teens. Totally unique!
@@grahamedwards9991 Some us couldn't do that, because we were much older than Kate when she released her first album.
Me too I am 64, where have all the years gone xxx
@@lizardspoint Gone too fast. Kate's first album was released when my son was born. Now he's middle aged.
I was a teenager in the 80's and just remember Kate Bush as being pretty weird. There was so much good music back then that I didn't really take much notice of her's. Now, I listen to her songs and am amazed how good they really are. She was probably way ahead of her time and now we are just catching up.
My Mum, who was in her 20’s in the 1980’s, said the same thing about her. She doesn’t really like her. But I actually don’t mind this song.
Are you American? I am curious if Americans thought she was weird. I am American and fell in love with Running up that HIll. There was no turning back after hearing that song. Her music was too advanced for most Americans, it took our country 37 years to catch up to where Kate was 37 years ago.
That’s well said. Plus her music is timeless. It moves you the same way a beautiful painting or a sunset would.
You're right, I also knew Kate Bush as a singer of a weird song back then.. but now I feel she was so brilliant that day and was a head of her time..
That's the way it always is.
Only getting more amazing as the years go by, Kate will never be equalled since the era of the singer-songwriter is effectively over. Besides, there was no man before her
Producer
Still amazing song when you listen to it now.x
I've loved Kate Bush since I was 29, and now I'm 25. Thanks! Kate Bush!
You aged backwards?
So beautifully said. I so often gift people, strangers, so needful of the sensual word. Those grand fat deep words in chaos, brilliant comes that light, 💋of love.
I mean it's slightly surreal to have all this dug up again and I'm not even sure Kate can relate to it, but it is gratifying for those of us who have been spellbound for OVER 40 FUCKING YEARS.
dug up lol.
Ok Boomer
You couldn't have said it any better!
One of the pioneers in Metal Opera! Where the technology that exists today did not exist, and owner of an incredible vocal technique!
I love the drums in this music
14 years old when I first started listening to this magician of music, now 58 and still think she is out of this world!!!.
I was 13 when I first time ever saw her in "The Sensual World" back in 1989 and got my mind blown
Kate Bush explained in 1985: "It's about a relationship between a man and a woman. They love each other very much, and the power of the relationship is something that gets in the way. It creates insecurities.
"It's saying if the man could be the woman and the woman the man, if they could make a deal with God, to change places, that they'd understand what it's like to be the other person and perhaps it would clear up misunderstandings. You know, all the little problems; there would be no problem."
Kate also spoke about the song has been misinterpreted, saying: "I was trying to say that, really, a man and a woman can't understand each other because we are a man and a woman. And if we could actually swap each other's roles, if we could actually be in each other's place for a while, I think we'd both be very surprised!
"And I think it would lead to a greater understanding. And really the only way I could think it could be done was either... you know, I thought a deal with the devil, you know. And I thought, 'well, no, why not a deal with God!' You know, because in a way it's so much more powerful the whole idea of asking God to make a deal with you.
"You see, for me it is still called 'Deal With God'. that was its title. But we were told that if we kept this title that it would not be played in any of the religious countries, Italy wouldn't play it, France wouldn't play it, and Australia wouldn't play it! Ireland wouldn't play it, and that generally we might get it blacked purely because it had God in the title."
Wow thank you for this 💯

*A message to the future generations: Don't let this beautiful masterpiece die!*
This song was released 37 years ago, yesterday. Happy anniversary, Running Up That HIll!
UK number one 37 years after it was first released. That's both mental and brilliant! A genius song from a genius album by a genius artist.
This performance always slays! Imagine when this first aired and the naysayers mouths dropped and the fans rejoiced from the sheer brilliance and beauty of this song. Welcome back then, Kate, and welcome back now!🏹
Hear hear! Good on you Kate!
But it only made it to number 8?!?!!? Today we recognise this masterpiece and it's now at number 1
@@skiddybop780 in the 80s the good songs struggled to make it against a tsunami of utter cheese.
Its lip synced
I remember in 1986, Sounds music paper ran a 100 Greatest Singles, and I think Prince's Kiss was number one, and Running up that hill was the greatest by a white artist.Were there any naysayers?
Hands up who a litte bit envious of the younger generations being able to discover Kates work for the first time.............. they can bing listern. We had to wait years between albums.
I’m 20, I’ve been listening to her since I was 18 and I am envious of your generation because you had a chance of seeing her live, she was young and dropped many albums and there was people of your age who loved her. I don’t know anyone who’s my age who listens to her, I’ll probably never see her live and if I consider myself lucky if she drops one last album before she dies (it’s been 13 years since the last album she’ll be 66 this year)
Bro something about 80s music just feels so much better than today's music

Masterpiece. Something better than just a song, an experience, a journey.
That's it.
Turtle Heart The real trip is the whole of side 2 of the album.
Kate is so beautiful, her voice is magic. I love her.
En los 80 habían tantas canciones buenas y legendarias que solo hasta hoy me doy cuenta lo hermosa que es está canción. Canciones geniales pasaron desapercibidas. 😏
I'm glad Kate's music is being appreciated by younger audiences while she's still with us, as it often only happens after the artist is deceased, as in the cases of fellow icons Lennon and Bowie.

good song but she can't sing it live lol
Only cause of stranger things
I'm lucky to be born in 79, this song brings back memories of spending time with my grandad
I was in college back in the early 80's in Washington when I walked in on a friend playing Kate Bush The Dreaming. It was new at the time in 1982. I fell instantly in love with her music. I really wish she had been as big in the US as she was in the UK. But I got every album. Kate Bush, Nina Hagen and Suzanne Vega will always be my favorite Female singers.
You have great taste in music
I'm only a year older than Kate Bush and can't believe 40 years has gone by. Check out Kate's Wuthering heights, and her duet with Peter Gabriel Don't Give Up. Both as good as this in my opinion.
I loved Withering heights
@@scottnever8732 Wuthering Scott, wuthering..! But I agree with you - incredible.
Pure magic!!! I’ve never loved any woman more than I love Kate Bush.

KATE WILL ALWAYS BE THE MOST AMAZING
The most mesmerising artist, absolutely stunning and sensual woman, I wish I was raised in her time ♥️
@@andersd8956And she didn't promote herself in the US.
@@andersd8956 yes but she also hates fame and media attention, it's why she doesn't give interviews or do tours etc she was never willing to play the game and be a big pop star media personality, she's not that type of person. It's not a mystery why she never became a household name outside the UK, talent only goes so far in making you a star. She's an artist who just wants to do her thing no interest in celebrity life and tbh you can't blame her, if you're a sensitive introvert type like her you can understand perfectly why that would be hell. She doesn't do big media events, no personal social media etc she just shows up every decade or so like hey I'm doing a show and it sells out in minutes lol because the peole know they are seeing a true artist not a carbon copy.
Discovering music in the age of Kate and Steve Nicks was truly magical.
Having only heard this song for the first time in my life literally on Sunday, July 3, 2022. I cannot stop playing it!! The beat, her voice... Absolutely enthralled with this song & Kate Bush!!
Wuthering Heights is even better, enjoy! x
This song is amazing!!!!
I feel u cause since I heard this song I had to search for it and here I am this song is amazing
Now you know why us old people love 80s music so much. There's so many more great ones like this from that decade. The sound and music is some of the most amazing I've ever heard.
Same I thought I was a '80s baby because I love 80 music and I can't believe I missed this classic
I’m 23 and been into this era of music for a few years now, not just Kate Bush, but Depeche Mode, Talk Talk, OMD, Human League, Heaven 17, Kraftwerk, Jean-Michel Jarre, Howard Jones, Pulp, The Lightning Seeds, The Christians, Art of Noise, Soft Cell, Midge Ure, Ultravox, New Order, Nik Kershaw, Yazoo, Fleetwood Mac, The Smiths, Duran Duran, Pet Shop Boys, Simple Minds, Tears for Fears, Prefab Sprout, I’ve been absorbing all the new wave, post punk, electronic, art rock and pop I can from this time, and love it all.

I remember first hearing this song on Casey Kasem American Top 40 in 1985. It had such a unique sound to it. Sometimes it gave me chills it was so awesome! God I miss the 80’s!
I miss The 80”s
I too followed AT40 (wrote 'em all down from 82-92). Not sure if I first heard it there or saw the amazing video on Much Music.
Blimey, I'd forgotten about Casey Kasem, I used to listen to his American top 40 show on Radio 1 here in the UK.
The Greatest decade ever ❤
I'm a millenial and I so happy that Stranger Things led me to this masterpiece. Kate Bush is truly a talented artist. I always stunned by the live performance of the older generations, soulful vocals with no special effects and live music.
Phuong Le No special effects? You haven't heard the flip side of this album. Try "Waking The Witch"

1985 I was 24 & progressin thru to a successful completion a British Army SF course. I listened to Kate' track on a regular basis as I was 'running up those hills' (a metaphor for all the extreme challenges that had to be met and surpassed). It certainly added to all those experiences in a hugely positive manner.
Did anyone give a shit when you finished
18...on a Coast Guard Cutter for my first underway. 1984. Now 2024...song hits hard....
After 40 years of this wonderful hit, the famous and talented artist would not have expected that the hit of her reign would be a soundtrack of an exceptional series! Stranger Things ❤
The Brit awards best honour her next year ❤️🔥
Imagine Placebo and Kate Bush doing this together to honor her live. That would be amazing.
Saw Kate Bush on tv for the first time on Saturday Night Live in 1978. Instantly became a fan!
How this woman hasn't been made a dame yet is ridiculous.
After watching Stranger Things, this became one of the best songs for me to listen to, and play on the keyboard
Kate, do you know that when Hounds Of Love was first released I listened to it at last a thousand time? Still, not a week goes by that I don't listen to the entire album (The Ninth Wave is engraved in my soul) or some beauties from it. It’s impossible for me not to dive in such a wonder… it makes me feel so good enjoying the whole world of emotions you share with us with each album. Eternally loyal and grateful❤️🔥

Well done everyone for getting this track to the number 1 slot where it should always have been.
I can't EVER explain in exact words how I feel for being born in 1970, when I listen to music these days I feel like a miracle happened, the music from eighties AND nineties is absolutely breathtaking, compared to today feels like little miracles back then 😘😘😘😘😘
❤️💕🎸🐾❤️💕❤️💕
Yeah I was born in 68 & it's good to see this generation getting into, what I consider to be, *REAL MUSIC.* While there was some gems in the 80s & some great tunes there also was a load of dross too like most of the Stock, Aitken & Waterman catalogue. But after the 90s things really went downhill IMO & as such even some S,A & W sounds good now. LOL.
I love 60s & especially 70s music the most as the dross was pretty thin on the ground & from every genre there was quality whether it was Rock, Early Metal, *actual* R 'n' B, Motown, Punk & even in the commercial pop world with the Bee Gees & The Carpenters etc. [yes I probably missed some but you get my point] From the 21st century there is MUSE.., that is all... LOL.
Oh & now that counter culture hip hop artists are rapping about things I can relate too I like some of them/that these days too. [Tom McDonald & Bryson Gray for example]
I was born in '84 and words can't describe how happy I am to have been born in the right era and generation.
I'm a similar age and have been feeling more and more appreciation for the music of this era. Like I'm hearing it with new ears and can't believe how amazing and powerful are the songs of my youth.
And 'the Lord' spoke and said, yes another song about the 'hill'! 14
Kate Bush IS one of most talented singer and dancer/scenic dancer/
The 80s were filled with true artistic talent from the UK. It's broad depth on display here. I always wondered where the inspiration comes from, but I think it was everything from 60s 70s finally coming together
Какая красивая женщина!!!! А я ,, бабушка,,это вообще преллесть, как и она сама!!!!! Браво!!!!! Кейт!!!!!!
I read a article that from May 27 - June 23, 2022 generated $2.3 Million in streaming Revenue.
She has such an amazing voice! Her voice is gorgeous. This is a true artist and I’m glad her song is getting recognition from Stranger Things. I’m also glad it was used in a BIG scene and not just in the background or for a dance. It was used for a meaningful scene. Which is exactly what this song deserves.
I’m 43 and had never heard this song before that episode of Stranger Things. Funny thing-my 17 yr old had it on her playlist prior to Stranger Things. So now I’m making her play songs for me to see what else I’ve been missing out on.
This performance is certainly a lip sync. But I still agree with you

Really good music always finds a way to touch new audiences , it’s why the stellar artist like Kate and the Beatles will always have their music played by someone somewhere.
I had the pleasure of doing the stage sound on Kate's first and only tour and developed the Wireless Headset Mic for her........ not that it has anything to do with her brilliance.
She was and is a phenomenon and very few artists are in that category.
Still love everything you do Kate, and every memory too.✌🇬🇧

@@adamp108 ....so sorry, I didn't intend to be boastful, just a bit of nostalgic info.
@@adamp108 ....no prob, I obviously took it the wrong way. 🙈
I was hired by the Who's sound company after doing a tour together. Their crew told me of the many problems (audio wise) to be solved in the upcoming KB tour, of which one was the fact she couldn't hold a mic due to the choreography, and I was offered the stage sound engineering job. After making the original Headset starting with a thick wire coathanger.....perfect metallurgical properties for the purpose and eventually bent to fit her....attached the small, hi quality lapel radio mic.... Setting it up for live stage use was rather complicated but it was fine.
This was the 1st use of the Wireless headset Microphone and her tour was such a massive success.
Many top artists wanted one immediately.✌🇬🇧
