I’m so glad these shows are introducing new generations to old music. I first heard Kate Bush in season 2 of The Handmaids Tale when they used her song “This Woman’s Work” in the premiere episode and fell in love with her immediately. Now people are going nuts over this “Running up the hill” song and it’s so exciting to see her get a new crowd of fans all over again. She probably thought her time in the spotlight was over but here we are!
It's a shame that a lot of Americans are only familiar with Maxwell's cover of This Woman's Work. Someone wrote an essay in the comments under a YT of the cover version explaining what she though Maxwell meant when he wrote the song, the first reply was "you know this is a cover, right".

I'm pretty sure she didn't, and that whomever has the rights to the song did. Probably whatever label, etc... It rarely ever is the music band who did a song, that sign off their uses in media.
@@gerardlacroix6015 I read a news article that Kate bush is very picky about licensing her songs for movies & TV. She asked for the scripts and sample scenes for stranger things where her song is used before agreeing to it.
I have loved that song, along with many of her other fantastic songs, for decades. It has always been a chart topper in my books!! The incomparable and beautiful Kate Bush. Often imitated, but never duplicated!! And never will be!! 👍🏾
Oh man that scene in the episode had me ugly crying lol. I deal with depression and the whole max situation where she clearly has developed it due to Billy dying and her parents being how they are really hit me hard. They hit the nail on the head with how depression is, especially with that particular scene and what I believe vecna symbolizes
Omg I thought the same too! The song was perfect for that scene. I know someone who deals with depression and i was crying thinking about how she may feel trapped like Max was in that scene, but made it out of that darkness. I pray anyone dealing with depression makes it out.🙏🏾🙏🏾
I absolutely agree. Dear Billy had me in my feelings and seeing the lyrics of the song had me believe that that episode brought more awareness to depression. Perfect song.
I'll take it even further. To me the scene symbolized being a prisoner or victim of sin/destruction, and before it's too late, deciding to run back to God. The Devil represented by Vecna, doing anything possible to keep his hold on you. Dropping objects in order to destroy the believer and prevent them from reaching God's redemption. I've often felt like Max, as I'm battling with the Devil.
i wish they use "don't give up" in the final seaon or somewhere in between... they already used peter gabriel's cover of "hero"... both kate bush and peter gabriel are my all time favorite singers, with their thoughtful songs... :)
This is so trueee.

I'm happy Kate is getting more recognition these days. I have always loved her and felt sad that she was so underrated. An incredibly talented woman. I love you Kate!!!
that scene was so masterful and the song’s metaphor was utilized perfectly for the episode not to mention to insane vocals and production given by Kate Bush, and i’m glad to say i discovered her from this show. really amazing. also, by the way, for any Stranger Things fans that may not know, Maya Hawke, who plays Robin, is a singer and released an album last year with New York indie label Mom + Pop Music. for any fans who read this, you should check it out!

Hundreds of songs are released every year. Sometimes, we just need a little reminder to jog our memory that these epic songs are out there 🎶🎶 This is one of them! Glad this masterpiece has been introduced to the younger generation.
Kate bush is just dope I love how her music reaches different generations, and I love how she does not care for fame and her talent speaks for itself. 🥰 she’s just awesome sauce.
I’m an 80s girl and have always loved Kate’s amazingly unique music. I made sure my kids heard my music growing up, so they already knew and love this song.
Kate seems so sweet, like 😭😭 she was such a underrated 80s singer before Running up That Hill was used on Stranger Things, the first song i heard from her was Wuthering Heights a pretty long time ago, i think it's great that she's becoming popular again, she deserves it.
Kate Bush was a huge part of the soundtrack of my very young self & in the dreams of my older brother, I think she did very well in the Australian and New Zealand charts too.
Kate was never underrated. She was huge in the 80s. But she was known for being a bit "arty" and "eccentric". Other pop groups of the time dominated the charts. Also Kate is extremely shy and rarely appeared live.. I believe she only toured the UK once or twice. So her music didn't have as much reach as other pop bands. But she was always extremely acclaimed, never underrated. 😊
It must be a great feeling for an artist to have a show use a song they put out decades ago and suddenly have it reach a whole new audience and become loved all over again. I've always really liked this song too
I was an 80s teen, I forgot how much I loved this song back then. Since watching Stranger Things just recently 8-2022, I Love it. And I can't quit playing this song.

"finally getting the recognition ..." I'd say Kate Bush was so famous that you must have a severe form of autism to not know her. Btw: Check this unknown band "The Beatles" - they have also some good songs.
Song totally deserves the hype, got chills down my spine everytime I hear it ♥️ I found "Running up that Hill" in 1 episode of "Pose", also very well written into the plot (one of the character's name was Angel, and there was this moment "Cmon Angel, Cmon darling, lets exchange this experience", pure magic)
Right?! I also listened to it on Pose, and the way they crafted it into the story was so good, also because it would be so powerful and revealing for Angel and Stan to swap places, their reality, and their circumstances as individuals are absolutely ruled by who they are, especially in Angel's case.
It’s honestly such a beautiful use of the song in the show. SPOILERS It’s this traumatized girl’s favorite song that becomes the key to her old friends saving her life from a paranormal entity that feeds on unprocessed trauma. The meaning it has in the show has to do with: - Loss - Friendship - Healing - Running full speed toward your friends as you escape a violent hellscape before you’re killed, knowing the last thing you’ll hear is them screaming your name in grief and terror - Managing survivor’s guilt
This and Wuthering Heights make Kate Bush one of the top 10 greatest artists of all time IMO. Not to mention her countless classics and masterpiece albums like The Kick Inside.
I've always thought "Hounds of Love" is her best album ever. it's got a continuity of theme and ideas and is just the most Goth thing, in the truest sense. "Running Up That Hill" is one of the strongest lead-ins for an album ever, too. "And Dream of Sheep" has always made me cry, for some reason, and "Under Ice" never fails to give me chills. I'm just so stoked that she's getting a whole new audience now!
Been playing running on repeat for years. 50words for s'ow is my latest zlbum im playing on repeat. Each of her albums are masterpieces, cloudbursting, deeper understanding, hounds of love. Her album the dreamung is a must listen. Started listening to it as i started binge wathching the sandman netflix series n i was blown awayyyy. Kate truly is a deep xriter. Her songs are deeply letaphysical n shows an understanding past her zfe when she first released it. Kate bush is her own muse
Im so happy Kate Bush is getting a new generation of fans! I've been a fan of hers for about a year, I think, her song baboohska was trending in tiktok and that was what introduced me to her music! When I heard running up that hill in stranger things I was so happy
Loved this song since the 80’s (being a 70’s baby). Was so shocked when I heard my kids listening on repeat! Got excited and posted about it on my FB- (yeah FB cause I’m old)that it’s good to hear young folks loving the song as much as I did back then. I also used to play my cassette mix tape on repeat for that track- til the tape was stolen along with my boyfriend at the times car. Ahhhh the memories. 🙃
And it has caught fire across social media. I’ve always loved that song and have it on my playlist. I’m so happy for her and grateful for her work and contributions to Music. Music never dies.
I love that this series is introducing younger generations to awesome music from the 80s. Now my preteen nieces and nephews are relating to this song and others like I did and still do. 💙💙💙
Its amazing what music can do for a scene and the audience when its applied properly. Thats why soundtracks are important to film and producation they can make or break an entire scene and/or intensify/mellow certain scenes regardless if the scene is matching the sound or not.
First time I heard Running Up That Hill was a cover use in Warehouse 13 during a very impactful and heartbreaking reveal, I’ve loved so many versions of that song, and Kate bush since.
The song gives so much texture to the scenes, especially at the end where Nancy slams One/Henry/Vecna through the window. The Duffer Brothers definitely got the music right! 👌🏽👍🏾😍
My dad actually got me into 80s music and I started to kinda drift off from it. Once I heard this song I got retracted back to 80s music and am very happy :)
A debt of gratitude to this show. I only heard bits and pieces of it in the 80s and beyond. It’s cold edge always reminded me of San Francisco. Almost 40 years later, I found the song/artist and have listened to it relentlessly; still chilling and it has aged beautifully. I think back on younger days and business trips to a chilly, windy, beautiful city.
I'm literally obsessed with song because it doesn't even have any curse words and it's clean and this song even Max's Personality somehow I'm always listening to it.
@@TASIAawful1 The first single of that album was "Breathing" An unborn foestus afraid of being born into a world of nuclear fallout. Who else writes this kind of stuff?
I'm thrilled because Kate Bush has never gotten the full accolades that she's so richly deserves. She is a phenomenal singer, songwriter and performer. If you ever get a chance to see her perform donut!!! This woman is absolutely incredible and she puts on a show unlike no other. It is a theatrical performance unlike anything you've ever seen. I'm also so happy because now my son gets to hear some of the same music that I grew up loving. As an older mom that's a cool thing.
You're definitively not a real fan, with those wrong fact, and definitively didn't Google her name since never.... Read at least her wikiped' page.... Btw, she's a producer....
I always loved this song since I was a kid (I’m in my 30’s now). Very compelling and passionate. Glad to hear it’s getting some traction again and found a new audience!🥰😉👌
I was a little kid in the 80's and we always had 80's music playing. Not sure why I don't recognize this song, but I'm so glad I'm discovering it now. It definitely deserves the recognition.
It’s great that a new set of generation have discovered Kate Bush. I discovered Kate in the late 90s early 2000s. She is incredible unique singer, great songwriter.

The Devil represented by Vecna, doing anything possible to keep his hold on you. Dropping objects in order to destroy the believer and prevent them from reaching God's redemption.

Song totally deserves the hype, got chills down my spine everytime I hear it ♥️ I found "Running up that Hill" in 1 episode of "Pose", also very well written into the plot (one of the character's name was Angel, and there was this moment "Cmon Angel, Cmon darling, lets exchange this experience", pure magic)
Right?! I also listened to it on Pose, and the way they crafted it into the story was so good, also because it would be so powerful and revealing for Angel and Stan to swap places, their reality, and their circumstances as individuals are absolutely ruled by who they are, especially in Angel's case.
I love Kate bush she always had such a unique voice I love her music even when she sang with Peter Gabriel
I'm currently listening to Don't Give Up! They compliment one another so well ❤️
I wish more songs of that era would get some love too. A lot of hidden gems
I never stopped listening to it. ..didn't watch the show. . Was listening today and seen a ton of other versions of it lol. Cool!
It’s honestly such a beautiful use of the song in the show.
SPOILERS
It’s this traumatized girl’s favorite song that becomes the key to her old friends saving her life from a paranormal entity that feeds on unprocessed trauma.
The meaning it has in the show has to do with:
- Loss
- Friendship
- Healing
- Running full speed toward your friends as you escape a violent hellscape before you’re killed, knowing the last thing you’ll hear is them screaming your name in grief and terror
- Managing survivor’s guilt

Guitar solo was the best part on SE 4 ep 1 - baffled by this crap video = zero input from KB just more clickbait using Kate for adsense money
@@evieie chill
The song literally gives me goosebumps. I don't watch stranger things, but heard the song because of the hype. It really is very powerful song.
God I love this song it gives my whole body chills everywhere
This song and Sadie's acting is literally 😍😍😍
One of my all time favourite songs, nothing short of a masterpiece
This and Wuthering Heights make Kate Bush one of the top 10 greatest artists of all time IMO. Not to mention her countless classics and masterpiece albums like The Kick Inside.
I've always thought "Hounds of Love" is her best album ever. it's got a continuity of theme and ideas and is just the most Goth thing, in the truest sense. "Running Up That Hill" is one of the strongest lead-ins for an album ever, too. "And Dream of Sheep" has always made me cry, for some reason, and "Under Ice" never fails to give me chills. I'm just so stoked that she's getting a whole new audience now!
I'm so happy for her, she's a beautiful soul. She has gained a new wave of lifetime fans too. Well deserved.
Been playing running on repeat for years. 50words for s'ow is my latest zlbum im playing on repeat. Each of her albums are masterpieces, cloudbursting, deeper understanding, hounds of love. Her album the dreamung is a must listen. Started listening to it as i started binge wathching the sandman netflix series n i was blown awayyyy. Kate truly is a deep xriter. Her songs are deeply letaphysical n shows an understanding past her zfe when she first released it. Kate bush is her own muse
The fact this came out 10 years before I was even born blows my mind. Timeless song!
Love her! Such an underrated artist
Underrated? Nope
@@jenglishg lol
Im so happy Kate Bush is getting a new generation of fans! I've been a fan of hers for about a year, I think, her song baboohska was trending in tiktok and that was what introduced me to her music! When I heard running up that hill in stranger things I was so happy
I grew up listening to Kate Bush because my mum has always been a fan, so it makes me happy that a new generation is growing up with her music too.
The song is beautiful and Kate singing really hits my heart! Love it so much !
I remember watching this as an 80s kid and fell in love with Kate. #katebush ❤️
Loved this song since the 80’s (being a 70’s baby). Was so shocked when I heard my kids listening on repeat! Got excited and posted about it on my FB- (yeah FB cause I’m old)that it’s good to hear young folks loving the song as much as I did back then. I also used to play my cassette mix tape on repeat for that track- til the tape was stolen along with my boyfriend at the times car. Ahhhh the memories. 🙃
And it has caught fire across social media. I’ve always loved that song and have it on my playlist. I’m so happy for her and grateful for her work and contributions to Music. Music never dies.
I love that this series is introducing younger generations to awesome music from the 80s. Now my preteen nieces and nephews are relating to this song and others like I did and still do. 💙💙💙
Its amazing what music can do for a scene and the audience when its applied properly. Thats why soundtracks are important to film and producation they can make or break an entire scene and/or intensify/mellow certain scenes regardless if the scene is matching the sound or not.
I love the exposure alot of these classic songs are getting again and finally getting the proper appreciation they deserve.
I LOVEEEEE!!!!!!! When old songs get used in tv show/movies... they just have another feel to them...
First time I heard Running Up That Hill was a cover use in Warehouse 13 during a very impactful and heartbreaking reveal, I’ve loved so many versions of that song, and Kate bush since.
Apparently I need to watch Warehouse 13 again!!!
Omg, when I came into my moms room listening to Kate, My mom was so shocked that I loved her so much. Who doesn't? LOVE YOU KATE
The song definitely fits when you think about the lyrics and the character. Not to mention the song bops
it's an amazing song. I'm glad that stranger things used it.
I love her! So glad the new generation has discovered her music
i thank her for saving max’s life
That song has never died...it will always be full of life
She owns all her own music a rarity in the 80's. She's makin bank and that just make me smile! :)
I’ve loved it since I was in the 8th grade and am so happy that young people are living it too.
It really is so cool how things come back
She aged so gracefully, so happy for her to get a new crows of fans 💜
She was such a MASSIVE hottie back then holy shit
For real she's still beautiful
The song gives so much texture to the scenes, especially at the end where Nancy slams One/Henry/Vecna through the window. The Duffer Brothers definitely got the music right! 👌🏽👍🏾😍
And she still looks gorgeous her voice is timeless.
I was surprised I never heard it before and absolutely fell in love with it and related to it and I love the 80s
You love the 80s but didn’t hear running up that hill before?
What can I say, I have lived a sheltered life...
Clicked for her reaction, got a nerd with head phones shouting at me! 🤦♂️
Bruh
Same😂 I was expecting her mostly
are you new to the internet?
Right? And a little spoiler to boot. Lame
her reaction lol, like she didnt get the headsup/royalty check while Season was being recorded/edited
Shes been my favourite artist since i was a kid. I bet ive listen to the hounds of love album 10000 times. Im so happy shes getting more recognition
Her song is refueled to top the charts after decades 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻
My dad actually got me into 80s music and I started to kinda drift off from it. Once I heard this song I got retracted back to 80s music and am very happy :)
i just got chills right now, that song fit perfectly for that scene.
The song is actually playing on the radio as I’m writing this lol amazing 👍🏾
Yay for Kate! So glad new folks are discovering her music
A debt of gratitude to this show. I only heard bits and pieces of it in the 80s and beyond. It’s cold edge always reminded me of San Francisco. Almost 40 years later, I found the song/artist and have listened to it relentlessly; still chilling and it has aged beautifully. I think back on younger days and business trips to a chilly, windy, beautiful city.
Amazing how songs , even underrated songs that never topped before songs have pulled through the charts because of social media
Google is free
@@isobeljames1328 ??
Now a certified UK number one hit (and it only took 37 years) ✊🏼
Imagine
I'm literally obsessed with song because it doesn't even have any curse words and it's clean
and this song even Max's Personality somehow I'm always listening to it.
Me Too!!!
I knew her army dreams’ song. I didn’t know about this legend
Me too! Use to listen to it when I was about 16 and cry, such an emotional song.
Withering Heights would be her biggest hit
Army dreamers is an amazing song just so heartbreaking and very true a great anti-war song
@@TASIAawful1 The first single of that album was "Breathing" An unborn foestus afraid of being born into a world of nuclear fallout. Who else writes this kind of stuff?
I'm thrilled because Kate Bush has never gotten the full accolades that she's so richly deserves.
She is a phenomenal singer, songwriter and performer.
If you ever get a chance to see her perform donut!!!
This woman is absolutely incredible and she puts on a show unlike no other.
It is a theatrical performance unlike anything you've ever seen.
I'm also so happy because now my son gets to hear some of the same music that I grew up loving. As an older mom that's a cool thing.
You're definitively not a real fan, with those wrong fact, and definitively didn't Google her name since never.... Read at least her wikiped' page....
Btw, she's a producer....
I always loved this song since I was a kid (I’m in my 30’s now). Very compelling and passionate. Glad to hear it’s getting some traction again and found a new audience!🥰😉👌
When it comes to songwriting there's different levels and at the top there's genius...Then there's Kate Bush.
It's a song I've been obsessed with for years, so I was thrilled to hear it on ST! Of course I was 10 in 1985 so I'm old I guess lol.
no you aren’t old. That means you were alive at the same time of Freddie Mercury and i am so jealous of that
@@AC_RDR2_Q Ahh thank you :)
@@spookyhouses no problem :) you are so lucky. i was born in 2006 :(
@@AC_RDR2_Q I could be your mom lol! 🙃 Well the good thing is, music transcends all time.
@@spookyhouses haha that’s true lol. I mean i’d say “mum” cuz i’m english but yeah. And that’s true *good* music does carry on forever
my dad used to know her father, rip to her father x
I was a little kid in the 80's and we always had 80's music playing. Not sure why I don't recognize this song, but I'm so glad I'm discovering it now. It definitely deserves the recognition.
Kate is absolute genius. Every single one of her albums is killer.
no one’s talking about quandale dingles “the race” being on top 50 💀
Fr!! Of all ppl Quandale 😅😅
☠️
I’ve been listening to kates music since i was around six and having it turn up in one of my favorite shows made me so happy. I love her music so much
can we talk about how the other song, pass the dutchie, is second😂
It’s great that a new set of generation have discovered Kate Bush. I discovered Kate in the late 90s early 2000s. She is incredible unique singer, great songwriter.
It's one of the best song I've ever heard, been listening to it all my life as far as I can remember. One of the few artists that can make me cry
I've loved this song since 85 but am ecstatic she is getting the recognition she's always deserved. Better late than never!
Part of me feels overprotective of it...😑
Other half snidely say: you're welcome Genzie kiddos. 🧐
😅!
Finalmente um reconhecimento dessa mulher maravilhosa
That song" running up that hill" has been around since 1985 i was around 10 years of age back then. I am happy this younger generation is enjoying it. Thanks so much .
Surprisingly, I grew up through the '80s & I can honestly say I never heard the song on the radio.
Love her and it’s awesome she was so cool about it
Happy for her
