Running Up That Hill lyrics:
[Verse 1]
It doesn't hurt me (Ye-yeah, yeah, yo)
Do you want to feel how it feels? (Ye-yeah, yeah, yo)
Do you want to know, know that it doesn't hurt me? (Ye-yeah,
yeah, yo)
Do you want to hear about the deal that I'm making? (Ye-yeah,
yeah, yo)
[Pre-Chorus]
You
It's you and me
[Chorus]
And if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get him to swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
Be running up that building
Say, if I only could, oh
Description
Public Facing
[Verse 2]
You don't wanna hurt me (Ye-yeah, yeah, yo)
But see how deep the bullet lies (Ye-yeah, yeah, yo)
Unaware, I'm tearing you asunder (Ye-yeah, yeah, yo)
Oh, there is thunder in our hearts (Ye-yeah, yeah, yo)
Is there so much hate for the ones we love? (Ye-yeah, yeah, yo)
Oh, tell me, we both matter, don't we? (Ye-yeah, yeah, yo)
[Pre-Chorus]
You
It's you and me
It's you and me, won't be unhappy
[Chorus]
And if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get him to swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
Be running up that building (Ye-yo)
Say, if I only could, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
You (Ye-yeah, yeah, yo)
It's you and me
It's you and me, won't be unhappy (Ye-yeah, yeah, yo)
[Bridge]
Oh, come on, baby (Ye-yeah)
Oh, come on, darling (Ye-yo)
Let me steal this moment from you now
Oh, come on, angel (Yeah)
Come on, come on, darling
Let's exchange the experience (Ye-oh, ooh, ooh)
[Chorus]
And if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get him to swap our places
I'd be running up that road
Be running up that hill
With no problems
Say, if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get him to swap our places
I'd be running up that road
Be running up that hill
With no problems
Say, if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get him to swap our places
I'd be running up that road
Be running up that hill
With no problems
[Outro]
Say, if I only could
Be running up that hill
With no problems
If I only could, be running up that hill
If I only could, be running up that hill

"If I can't beat you, I have no career". Listening to it in 2020.
Yeeeessss
🐐
Shawn Michale Said
2022!xD
2022
The placebo version is still my favorite. The way they slow it down and add intensity is so effective it really draws me in.
Same!
I like this version better than Kate Bush
Same. What did it for me was WWE using it as a promo video for the match between Shawn Michaels and the Undertaker back in 2010.
@@jaysondoak6184 Yeah that was how I first heard this song long before I knew it was a remix. I still listen to this song with the WWE background story lol
@@janalalewicz7385 And I like the Within Temptation version over this one. That's a operatic and symphonic Metal band, so of course it'll be a different vibe than most rock or metal covers, but for some reason I feel like Alice In Chains with Layne Staley would've done this song justice. Especially with Layne and Jerry Cantrell.
Both versions are amazing because it's an amazing song, kates version is sensual and uplifting where placebo made it slower and more haunting
Yes! I love both versions! Just makes me feel old!
i love both but Placebo's just hits different and i connect with more but that is me
@@devinedragoon first aid kit did a great acoustic version too
@@devinedragoon kinda like the difference between Simon & Garfunkel’s version of Sound of Silence and Disturbed’s.
If you like these two versions, check out the Meg Myers version. 😍
Totally get why Stranger Things used original but man I prefer this version so much more. Ever since I heard it on the first episode I've been craving listening to this version over and over lol
I mean even if they wanted to use this, it would be an anachronism
Same, though!
The mix is made in modern times they can’t use it. Stranger Things is in the 70s
@@ryleeguy2763 Whut? No; The show takes place in the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana in the early-to-mid 1980s.
Spoilers for S4:
In certain part they kinda go back in time and read Nancy's old diary where the last record is from 1983, when she broke up with Steve.
Season 4 takes place in 1986
This is my favorite version of this song. Placebo vocals are just phenomenal. Of course, the music here in general is absolutely top tier.
Especially the more sinister sounding instrumental in the background.
@@cackers4752 I like the difference in tone. This feels more... vulnerable.
For me Kate version rules, this is somehow watered down - something is missing.
Completely agree. Love the Placebo version.
How can it be a verison its a covered song
This gives me genuine Depeche Mode vibes. Like the tone sounds like 'In Your Room'
I'd love to hear Martin Gore covering this song too.
To have and to hold... 👍
Jajajja yes a little bit
I was thinking the same thing
If DM covered it, it would be cheating.
Shawn Michaels vs The Undertaker still my favorite storyline in WWE
This song is about to blow. Run Max RUN!
I love that scene so much. They could made her just snap out of it as soon as the music hits. But no, they made her work for it, they made her running up that hill. Gosh it was beautiful.
yes
Ye thats it
i cried like a baby !!!
Facts!!!plus I'm crying right now....
I first heard this song when WWE used it for the Shawn Michaels vs Taker match years back and I've been obsessed with this cover ever since!
"Streak vs Career " ♥️
If I can’t beat you I have no career
Yea me too lol greatest match in Wrestlemania history! love how everyone is listening to this version for the first time
It was my favorite Match of all WWE Story!
Me too bro love that promo
This version is so haunting and mysterious, I seriously thought it was meant for a horror themed movie/show. I love this version of the song
It actually was the theme song of a vampire movie
lmao stranger things
Perfect material for a horror AMV: th-cam.com/video/E1cdZ8SMqYg/w-d-xo.html
You got your wish haha
@@opiumphobic I don't think Stranger things is horror mate , more like thriller but a great series nonetheless
The O.C
My brother passed away last week. For YEARS I thought this was an original. For me, it is. Means a lot to me
I hope you stay strong thru your tough time I'm praying for ya. This songs gotten me thru so much and I'm glad it helps you 🙏
Memories brought me here, not any TV shows :) 🙌
I guessing the original artist and video are in your brain...somewhere...
for your own personal reasons.
Porno
This has a darker, more disturbed feel to it. Sounds more etherical. Actually, when I hear this, I feel some pain through the art. And I feel related too.
I heard this song for the first time in The OC. I love the original as well
THANK YOU 💯 I was wondering where I first heard it… and you hit the nail on the head.
YES! I could just watch the whole series again. The way Ryan was in season 4, Marissa's mom.. such a dark moment.
Can u tell me WHICH season/episode? Need to rewatch ♥️
@@kakarote5356 season 4 episode 1. It was the first sone played.
This version by placebo is so much better I don’t get why people love kate bush version so much I’m appreciative of her because without her we wouldn’t have the placebo version but this is so much better. Better background music, vocals, emtion everything
I remember watching season 4 episode 1 of the OC and this song just stuck with me. This is MY original. 🔥❤️
Same men, when sandy is looking for ryan after marissa’s death. Still got goosebumps🔥
@@jesusalbornoz78 got that right! 🔥
Same, that show had so many great choices in music. I remember the dvd extras talking about how there was amount of effort in choosing the right song.
I remember in bones too
Yep with you there! OC Ryan when Marissa died.
This version has had such a grip on me over the years since first hearing it on The Vampire Diaries when i was like 13. I'm so glad a new generation will get to know & love this song now because of Stranger Things. 😍😍
wven mw. im 29 now
@@ebenwrogemann2512 yah, I’m 27. It’s been a few years 😅
Yessss, as soon as I heard it from stranger things I knew it was from tvd. I’m a huge fan lol. Watched it like 8 times
I first heard it on the TV show The OC… circa 2006 maybe? So good.
the first time I heard it in the Oc series in the final chapters uff it was very good for the story 👌
starting to really love placebo. I don't know why I ever ignored this band, their songs are fucking. perfect.
+Raevint Kiunlo I believe it's because even though they are fairly famous you usually just don't stumble upon them on median, radio, etc, you need to search, otherwise they will go unnoticed. It's kind of sad but also makes me happy because they are unique and I like them somewhat "sheltered". But yeah, once you discover one, two, three songs it's on
TE PERDONAMOS, BIENVENIDO A PLACEBO WORLD!! :p
I remember one of my good friends had at least one of their CDs when I was in highschool, I sometimes would borrow her Discman for a bit when we had break time (no shared classes), but I never managed to catch her when she had Placebo in it. I rediscovered them somehow a few years back completely at random and I can't live without their music now.
@@PUFFILICIOUSLilly i hear them all the time on some local radio that plays old songs. Most people recognise at least one of their songs but never know the band. Its one of these bands that everyone knows a song but few follow the band sadly.
I like this version more than the original which has such a happy pop vibe.
I used to listen to this on the subway every morning, had no idea it was a cover.
That voice is something else.
I love Placebo's version of the song so much, it's mesmerizing
Yesss finally placebo is getting recognition again - Love to see it !! 💜
Yes! Exactly! Placebo needs more love! They are so severely underrated! I hope more people find out about them as well.
They are the best
Placebo
One of my favourite bands
It's great that Kate wrote this amazing song.
there coming in 2023 on tour after 9 years
I still come back to this every few years after I've experienced life. I'm so thankful to still be here, depression tried to take me few times but I'm still here.
I hear ya. Glad your still here too.
@Maria Martinez MM, don't leave us...we'd like to have more people to enjoy listening to this good music with us, please?
Stay strong 💪
I remember when they first released this version and I love it (love the original too) but this song has seen me through some really shit times, keep on fighting that depression because you are winning. 💙
Glad you stayed. As someone who wrestles with this every day, keep going. It's always worth the fight in the end.
Makes me want to put my career on the line against the Undertaker at WrestleMania.
If I can’t beat you, I have no career
@@mobunagathevoiceofresistan801 You're ON!
"You don't get it! If I can't beat you... I have no career."
This is the HBK vs Undertaker promo song, nothing else 😤😤
Exactly! These kids don’t know shit 🔥
Man this brought back some deep memories...I heard this back in 2010, had no idea this was originally a Kate Bush cover until everyone started referenced Stranger Things. Phenomenal!!
undertaker vs shawn michaels
I first heard this when I was at my lowest. I rose to the top now back down . Lord hear my prayers.
I didn’t know this was a cover song until I watched S4 of Stranger Things. Honestly I like both versions!
Same . I'm only 2 episodes in and it's so much better than season 3 already....
Me 2 :D i think this is the original lol
Me too! I always thought this was original
Same i first heard this from warehouse 13
The original has a 80s vibe to it which i absolutely love. The placebo has a more modern vibe which also works very very well!
I listened to this for years on an ipod in the early 2000's and thought it was the original and only version. Then they started playing the original like crazy in my city in 2021 before Stranger Things and I was like, "Dam this is sick, is this some new artist covering Placebo?" Now its popping off again from Stranger Things.
I have such a weird connection with this song. The first time I heard this song was in 2010, when I saw the promo video of the match between Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker at WrestleMania 26. Then a year later I heard the original version from Kate Bush, and I thought "damn this is such a powerful song", but at the same time it made me feel hopeless and sad, so I decided I wouldn't listen to this song again. Years kept going and I would always get to a place where I would listen to this song again. And it wasn't like I wanted to listen to this song, but everytime I heard this one again for some weird reason I had a feeling that I had to listen the complete song and not skiping it, like if something bad would happen if I stopped the song. Last time I heard this song was in 2021, I was at a park alone, and it was very dark. And I remember that I stopped the song, and my heart started beating so fast that I thought I was gonna pass out or something, so then quickly I pressed play again on my phone to keep listening till it was over. And from that day I got so scared and decided to never listen to this song ever again. After all of that, this year I didn't heard this song at all, not even once... But then I started watching season 4 of Stranger Things, and I got to the episode "Dear Billy". And I swear to God when I got to the part where I thought Max was gonna die at the hands of Vecnar, I started shaking so bad, but then she made it to the end and when she's hugged by Lucas I couldn't help myself but to cry, but it wasn't like a sad type of crying, it was a relief type of crying. The thing for me with this song is that I always sense that something bad will happen if I don't listen to the full song, and I don't know how to stop feeling that.
Daybreakers Trailer for me
This song is used in a lot of vampire fiction
First time I listened to it was in The Vampire Diares. Damon remembering Katherine
@@christiandauz3742 yeah, they used in the vampire diares when damon was remembering katherine
@@intercomfort5006
The Passage trailer on Fox
Bro wtf this is me holy shit no joke
The true best version.
This version is the best so much emotion . Thank you OC and now stranger things
The oc is Kate bush
Actually it was this version on the O.C.
yes, i first heard it on The OC, the episode where Marissa dies.
@@nelsonricardocosta it is the episode from s4 when Ryan boxing
My mother use to play the original when I was younger all the time and when this came out I showed her and she fell in love.
Omg new placebo fans. Welcome! You gotta listen to the rest of their music.
Another good cover placebo made is Big Mouth Strikes Again by The Smiths and their song with David Bowie Without You I'm Nothing.
The O.C Bought me Here 😎👍
“You know something Undertaker I can beat you! So right here tonight I’m laying out the challenge, you and me Wrestlemania ONE MORE TIME!!!!!!!!
my answer is no
“If I can’t beat you at WrestleMania, I have no career.”
@@Linator4 "This obsession is going this far. You wanna throw DX away, huh? You wanna throw your career away?"
It’s a shame that HBK tarnished his retirement with that DX VS Brothers of Destruction match at Crown Jewel eight years later.
@@K.J.S.est1994 he dident it was a payday evryone knows his career ended at wrestlemania
I heard this one first. Years before I even heard the name Kate Bush. It has a different tone and I absolutely love it. Definitely my favorite version.
Same here.
Same. heard it in the second season of Bones
Same
I thought this was the original version until I heard Kate 😅
This is my favorite version of this song. I remember watching it on an episode of Bones back in the day and I was so taken with it. It's so dark and eerie and melancholy and I love it!
Thank you! I was really wracking my brain remembering where I first heard it.
@@Matt-ev7qi You're welcome! So glad I could help you remember! :D
First heard it on Bones as well!!
Same. Absolutely perfect
I was just watching Bones and heard it. I was like hmmm... sounds familiar. Came here to listen to it lol
Went through some really really heavy stuff in my life when this version of this song came out.
Always a special place.
Welcome
Same.
Bones series brought me here. Love this cover so much
The OC brought me here best music moment. Season 4 episode 1. Heard this song years ago and I have it on repeat everyday still can’t get sick of it
I recently heard the original on stranger things but this version I was introduced to first back in 2010. It was then I was reminded of the time Shawn Michaels faced The Undertaker at WrestleMania 26 and this was the song used in the promo before the match
Streak vs career
One of the best promos of the last decade
You sir, are valid. Thats how i heard about this song too…
Greatest match in history
I was wondering why this version sounded so fucking familiar
HHH: "You're spiraling down man it's not the end of the world there are plenty of other guys for you to compete with at WrestleMania." HBK: "Not for me."
All I can remember is Wrestlemania 26 build up for The Undertaker vs Shawn Michaels! By God bring me back those days what a way to build up a rivalry. 😭😭❤❤
I love this version because of the movie Daybreakers such a great movie. I recommend. Underrated film
Glad someone remembers it. The elevator scene 👌 Ethan Hawke did amazing.
Have always loved Kate Bush singing this song..but I must say Placebo has me totally mesmerized with their version as well. 💓
Warehouse 13, the scene in which Jinks dies. Brought tears to my eye.
The grip this cover had on 2000’s/2010’s tv shows 😭😭 looking at you Warehouse 13
YES OMG I SOBBED SO HARD. and then they used Kate’s in stranger things and I was ready to cry again
The original song is very good, but this... It's just one of the most pure melancholic experiencies ever made, i love it so much 💔
First time hearing this version was on Bones when Max, Bones' father killed the senator/director to protect Temperance and her brother. He left the brutal message of mess with my kids you will suffer the same fate. Such a perfect haunting song. Love Kate's version but this is one of the best covers of any song.
Bones was such a good show
Yeah that's where I heard it too. Fell in loveee
@@kaymarie4855 same!
I first heard it there too, I was wondering if anyone else had the same story
watching them zoom out of the rooftop with the fire still burning was such an experience! i love this song so much
quite possibly one of the greatest covers of all time.
The good part of all these new tv shows is that from time to time they make kids listen to good tunes that have more than 2 cords repeted all over
Watching bones and this song coming on was a spiritual experience
They used this in a episode of Bones and was hooked from thereonin!!!! Amazing version!!! Brian's vocals are just haunting!!!!Love it!!!!
Thank you my other half was stumped as to where he had heard this before 🤣
Streak Vs Career🙌
I love this version 🙌❤️
Thanks Kate Bush for this incredible song. Watching Placebo play this live is amazing
Heard this when I was in highschool watching My guilty pleasure The OC
I was rewatching TVD and this song cover came up, reminded me of those good times
Always reminds me of OC california
the only version that truly matters
I first ever heard this song in the O.C series!!! ❤️❤️❤️
"Has this obsession gone this far?, you wanna throw DX away?, you wanna throw your career away?"
"My career is over."
Listening to it in 2025.
The best storyline in wwe.....
Man that storyline was awesome
How tf are you listening to this in 2025
@@NeatoUnused he’s a time traveler duh.
Legend 🫂
Heard this version from the BBC documentary about Sophie Lancaster, and still stirs up emotion every time I hear it.
Now they are both in the Hall of Fame 🥲 Thank you to both Legends 💪
I've always loved this song, but Placebo's version holds a special place for me. 👏👏👏💞💖
First heard this in Daybreakers hood vampire movie. Glad the songs getting some love again
The writers must have had goosebumps when they did the storyboard for the S4 scene. I sure did. Always loved the original song and loved this version too. Kate Bush was way ahead of her time.
Strangers things banger 4th season brought you here 🙋🏾♀️
Stranger Things is how i found out one of my favourite songs was a cover 😭
Me too 😰😭
Hahahaha... It is a cover but is beautiful ❤️
Yeah same. I was telling my partner I hated whatever cover they used in the show then looked it up and was very sad.
STREAK VS CAREER
I first heard this song on an episode of Warehouse 13. That whole scene was phenomenal, brilliantly acted, and this song was the perfect accompaniment to it. So haunting.
Love this Kate bush cover x
with MADONNA Being where-she-be.. WHY?is Kate STILL so 'overlooked/underfamed' -Yet Another Musihistorical BIG BAD WWRRONNGG
Heard this on Bones 👀👌 had to listen to the full version
This was on replay all day way back when..
Glad the new generation still listens to good music.
I heard this version for the first time on The Vampire Diaries. Totally powerful song.. I love both versions. Kate Bush (by the virtue of Stranger Things season 4) and Placebo❤️
The first time i heard this cover was in an episode of The O.C.
this song makes you wanna put your career on the line to face the undertaker at Wrestlemania
You're obsessed
There's other people to compete with at wrestlemania
Wrestlemania the greatest build of alll time! Hbk and the deadman! How epic
Came from stranger things and fell in love with this masterpiece
Placebo transcend borders, physically and mentally. Molko’s voice is the only male octave that contends with the beauty of a womans. Naught to do with sexuality, it’s just goddamn beautiful
I'm convinced I heard this on a sci fi series about 10 years ago but can't for the life of me think what so I'm beginning to think I dreamt it 😤😤
The OC!!!!!!
HBK vs Undertaker..
Career vs streak..
And with this masterpiece...
My 1000 th comment..
1 year of my 1000th comment...
I love the various versions of this song. They all have their place, its to so bizarre to see them come back into the focus of our society. Its cool.
I couldn't agree more. It's SO cool.
Shows music really is timeless, well good music anyhow.
My ex introduced me to this song, we fell asleep to it years ago and played it in the car in the dark on the highway on my way to work one morning. Such a soft spot in my heart for this cover + the original by Kate Bush.
as a teenager i grew up listening to kate bush's music and the placebo cover is by far the best version of a cover. I would even say one of the few covers better than the original. Bravo Placebo well done!
This was so epic in the wrestlemania video leading up to Shawn Michael's and takers match
This version is EMOTIONALLY AMAZING. Go Placebo. :o
I think it was 2007 when I first heard this exact cover. This is THE version in my heart. When I hear the original I immediately have to listen to this one instead. I know its because I didn't grow up with the original being born in '90. I just adore Placebo.
Stranger things reminded me how amazing this version is. Definitely warehouse 13 vibes.
I wish they would have used this version in Warehouse 13
This is the perfect tone for stranger things especially Vecna!!!!!!
Such a shame we didn’t hear it in the show..
I love 💕 this song, the voice is magical, love 💕 you Vampire 🦇🖤 Diaries
Love that jamie bower actually shouted out this version when asked what song hed use.... and i forgot it existed for a while..so glad its been brought back into my life.
I like when covers are creative. Like this song. This version makes the song "deeper". Of course the voice is always awesome!
Placebo has done a really amazing job with this song.
One of the greatest cover versions ever!
Thought this was ICONIC playing on Bones, but apparently it's been on a few shows xD
I listen to this song back when I was rolling on ecstasy, maybe 2011. One of my favorite songs to melt too.
Man, I've been pumping this for years already alongside with my morning coffee trying to move my ass to work... All that anger and stress and that constant ticking in the backgroud of the song remembering the bad sleep and the stupid alarm. The amount of work I did in these last years since pandemia, pushed me to the limits and funny this comment is actually the first time when I complain of that. I love this song so much!
