Bush explained in a 1985 interview: "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." This is so beautiful ❤
@@sarlina1 Good and bad in every decade. I've got all of Kate's music on vinyl, but started buying records in the late '60s. Kate wrote most of her first two albums around 1973 as a 15 year old. I also have albums by Psychedelic Porn Crumpets, who formed in Australia in 2015.
@@WarrenBridges-um5cg Right, Warren. Good and bad in every decade. But for me, I can't find a decade equal to the 80s, where the good just outnumbers the bad by far. Well, maybe the 90s. A ton of great music back then too 😊
I m now 63 years old. I was 25 years old and I can still bring back the feeling of the 80s. The music, the lifestyle, the fashion..... and the year 1985. it's like yesterday
Comments like these make me feel nostalgic for a time I wasn't even born yet. I hope I will make it to your age one day so I can relive the days of the 2020s the same way you can relive the 80s
@@robinlawley3298 I feel the same. I also have the 70s in me, when I was a teenager and started with T Rex, Slade, Sweet... then rock, soul, then the disco era, the 80s with the many different directions, new wave, punk, rock, hip hop etc. the 90s from grunge to... I'm also not fixated on a decade or a genre of music. But grateful to have witnessed all of this. and even today there is good music, just nothing new.

It's 2024 and this song is from 1985! It's literally a masterpiece and a Hit. It provokes strong sensations, memories, takes us on a journey through time. Thanks Kate Bush.
@@nothabad I disagree with you completely on the song its actually pretty great from a musical and thematic aspect but I won't say anything to try to change your mind. Also, not the biggest fan of the show
She is my favorite artist. She wrote the song and had complete control of every aspect you hear, down to the exact rhythm of the drums, its ALL her. She also does all her backing vocals. A masterpiece of a song about the congruency needed within a relationship. Just pure magic, like all her work. The dance here depicts the struggle between two people to achieve harmony.. sometimes one feels crucified as you can see in the video. It ends with her as Diana the Greek goddess of the hunt.. Again pure genius.
I saw an interesting interview once with Bjork. She was asked who her influences were, without hesitation she said, " Kate Bush gave me permission to let all my sounds out. If it weren't for Kate Bush I would not have the courage to be me." BOOOM RESPECT!!!
That really is high praise coming from Bjork. I totally understand why Kate Bush would be the person to inspire full expression. She's one of the most creative musicians ever.
@@colinbellew3020 Some of Bjorks pop type chart music isn't great and not in to her crazy arty stuff, but there are some excellent songs she's done. Not everyone's cuppa tea hey.
I was a kid when this song came out, my mother was a big Kate Bush fan. Her songs bring back so many memories of childhood. I have a teenager of my own now who enjoys this song and it brings me joy that 3 generations of my family can enjoy her music
@@elijahangel2473 who said I wasn't? I said I have a teenager who now enjoys this song, and in a later comment confirmed because of Stranger Things. He's been listening to it constantly hence why it was in my UA-cam recommended list, I came to listen to it myself and made my original comment stating how much I enjoyed the fact that 3 generations of my family are now Kate Bush fans.
i do not watch stranger things but a friend does, he had never heard this song before the show, he heard me playing it on my I pod and said he didn't know i was a Madonna fan, told him straight,
I enjoyed this song long before stranger things, hell before Netflix or even streaming was a thing. Heard it on the radio back in the 90s, wasn’t alive when it was made but was fortunate enough to hear it during my adolescence.
I've been a Kate Bush fan since I was 12, in late 1978.. Have no words to express how great it is that she, once again, gets the recognition she deserves. Kate is the best English singer/songwriter EVER!!
С уважением к возрасту) Привет из Краснодара. Я для себя недавно открыл истоки этого шедевра...ну чтоже..я родился в 1986 году....а 10ю годами ранее вы сударь...
So happy that we can rejoice here, under this video. Music just like history goes around in a circle,and oh am i so happy that Kate is known, me myself as person born quite early that is 2003, have known her forever, because my mother was a massive 80s kid and she introduced me to all the jazz haha
Finally the queen is getting recognition again! This song is my dad’s favourite song and it made me smile hearing it again. Her voice is unlike anything!
A brilliant voice, a magical sound and a timeless song from ANOTHER WORLD. Kate Bush acoustically anticipates all the fantasy worlds of later decades. Endless, for eternity.
+Keith Moriyama I don't know if Kate qualified as a professional level dancer but EMI paid for at least two years of dance training including from noted dancer/mime Lindsay Kemp (who also taught David Bowie).
It is so gratifying to see a whole new generation of people discover Kate Bush. When I was in high school, a friend played me a cassette tape (hey, it was 1978) of her first album, "The Kick Inside". By the time "Hounds of Love" came out, I was a huge fan. As someone on here commented, it's strange that in the 1980s, many considered her songs and videos to be weird, but now, they make perfect sense. Guess that's one definition of being ahead of one's time.
Love your story!! I also think its great too because i'm young and my parents didn't even know of her music until I told them about her after watching stranger things! so cool how music moves!
This is one of those songs I've heard as a kid growing up but never really knowing the artist nor the lyrics to the entire song but I'm glad Stranger Things could provide the nostalgia for me to realize what the title and artists name.was.
It’s kind of awesome that Stranger Things being set in the 80’s has made that era of music popular again for a new generation. I’m 19 and I can honestly say I would have never discovered this song or many others that have now become some of my favorites had it not been for that show.
For the generation (me included) born in the 1960/70-ties, Kate was a huge pop-icon. My older sister owned her first three albums. I still relate to every word and lyric. She played those records a lot. Thank you for playing them.
Thank you for sharing this, Very enjoyable artist, she has a unique tone to her voice and a very original way to show a certain emotion. Be grateful to your sister because this is truly a masterpiece ;
Perfect example of why older classics should be used in modern TV shows and movies. So many people hadn't heard this song and it made it popular for a second time for a whole new generation.
I had never even heard of Kate Bush before this song featured so well on Stranger Things. Now I am a big fan. Amazing voice and very interesting songs.
@@danieledwards9965 Who cares where they found it? What matters is that they found it. You don't make people want to learn more about your interests if you insult them for not already knowing as much as you.
Brilliant Kate is getting recognition on Stranger things 4! Hounds Of Love is a fantastic album I bought on cassette back '85. I'm 50 this year and it takes me back to my youth! Love the 80s!
Oh, so sweet. I was born after 80's but I love 80's I think that was a gold time. I used to watch 80's movies in Colombian channels in 90's so that reason I feel nostalgia about my Childhood
I suffer from bad depression, days that i think why i am here, but i listen to kate music it makes me fell so better, i dance around the house and it makes me happy and im still here ,THANKS KATE XX
@@Tucker68284 I'm so glad!😘 I lost my daughter to suicide in 2015. 💙 Those left behind never completely heal from this loss. I truly hope things will get better for you❣❣😘
I hear this song and get this "Home Sick" feeling in my heart for back then. Recently heard this song in the Lifetime movie about Elizabeth Smart. Got the chills!
Yep!! I'm an 80s baby anyways so I already loved this song, but when I heard it during the Max scene on Stanger Things it literally gave me chills and I immediately added it to my favorites.
This song wasn’t overlooked at all. It’s always been considered Kate Bush’s best song and entered the Rolling Stones’ Top 500 songs the year before it was in Stranger Things
@@ste9281 It tends to be a dual between this & Wuthering Heights. I looked up a dozen or so Kate Bush top hits compilations (which are often quite silly), but those two always were changing places. But those "Best of" lists normally only deal in hit songs. This song is undeniably #1 when it comes to sales. But when you look at all of her albums & releases and you're a big fan, then it's almost impossible to choose a #1 song. It's hard to be objective & choose a best song of hers. There are so many brilliant songs that might qualify. And you're right. It was never overlooked. This album even knocked Madonna off the number 1 spot in the UK. The single reached #3. But, "The Rolling Stone", which used to be really good in the 70s and 80s, is not taken very seriously anymore. They keep changing their top hits based on current listeners & trends. The last one was in 2004 and Running Up That Hill was not on it (nor any other hit of hers).
I remember when this song first came out I was only 19 years old. Now at the age of 58 & with the recent death of my husband from cancer, this song has much more deeper meaning to me. Truly, it should have been me. I should have been the first to leave this life & move on to Heaven. He was such a extraordinary man, with exceptionally high standards. I was his "Little Princess" for 15 plus years...& Now its all over on this earthly life...forever.
yes, she is a beautiful "old soul" and this video is timeless, so graceful, yet poetic and romantic all at the same time. Loved Kate's music seems like forever still do..
I only knew a handful of folks that were into Kate Bush back in the day. But you can't disguise genius. This video, I thought at the time, really is a peak moment for her, a full realization of her artistic ambitions. She wrote, arranged, played, mixed, choreographed, danced and amazingly sung this enchanting song.
this is peak? the tempo doesn't change, the music barely builds, there's virtually no instrumentation other than that goose-honk with auto-tune, the lyrical lines are disjointed and unresolved.... this is like a Hilary Duff tune without the excuse of being a teenager
37 years later this song hits it big. But don’t worry: Kate Bush is already worth a decent chunk of change. She owns the masters to this song for example. She made 2.5 million from Netflix alone. I’m 36 and had NO idea this song was as old as it was until I first went to download it 2 years ago. From the first time I heard this song I felt deeply emotional about the lyrics. As I had applied them to my own life at the time. However now having read Kate Bush’s explanation of what this son’s means it now has a more powerful emotional meaning. To change places with the person you love, making a deal with God, and seeing things through their eyes walking in their shoes, feeling their feelings: well that could bring a couple much closer together. No matter how much we explain how we feel and think to actually feel it would be something else. Something unfortunately unattainable. But it’s amazing to think about let alone make a song about.
Kate was already rich, she's just richier. Thank. Cough cough cough : she wrote all the songs, composed all the music of her discography, and since 1980 is a PRODUCER. In 2014, during her residency, 8 of her albums re-entered uk chart.... According to the House Company, in Dec 2023 she earned 8 million with ruthill. Netflix did not paid her, but the producers of Strange sthing did......... It's the only song used by the show in 4 seasons to re-entered charts around the world at n °1, and n °3 at the Billboard. Nov 2024, it got more than a 1 billion streams. Thanks. Her last TV appearance was in 1993. She just does a career from her home. Believe it or not but before Strange sthing, they were people who knew about her.
Well.... this has always been a big tune for us 80s babies. I'm glad many more generations get to understand the power of Kate Bush. I implore you to listen to more of her music. You won't be disappointed. Side note I did cry too. This song will evoke all kinds of feelings no matter the scene or film.
I reckon, always a fan of wuthering heights when I discovered it in the late 80's as a 10 year old but last couple of years I discovered babooshka 😆 can't believe I'd never heard of that one lol and absolutely love that one too, she was a little before my time for my age range but her music does take me back to my early years
@@fancyfeast4610 same here. Wuthering heights is No 1. My daughter rolls her eyes when I play that, but was secretly impressed that her class had to listen to Wuthering heights for some reason at school a few years back. I, mother had already educated her on fine music 😊😅. At 21 she stil is irritated by the song🙄...no taste😅
“If I only could I’d make a deal with god and I’d get him to swap our places” Can’t help but tear up. My mom passed away last week and she loved this song so much. I’d do anything to have her back. RIP Mommy Feb 24, 1974 - Nov 26, 2022 ❤
I'm here because I'm 60 and I was 21 when this was on the radio all the time. It's nice to see a generation of kids being exposed to the awesome music that was brand new then. From about 78-83 there was some especially great music made.
clearly remember this song when it came out in 1985. it was one of my favorite Kate Bush songs. Its amazing that 37 years later it's a hit all over again.
Agreed. This technology shit ruined my generation. Not saying artist from today don’t make good songs, but all they talk about is drugs,violence,lust,boasting,etc. I like their Melodie’s and flows but lyrics are so obscene and trivial. The 80s were so creative.
As a drummer this song does my head in… in a FANTASTIC way. The vocals don’t follow the usual pop-rhythmic conventions; they have their own beautiful, “non-sensical” logic. They’re pure ballet. A work of genius. ❤
@@Henry-y8b9q that is great for me. I was born 2009 and I am just agency generation z and generation alpha music. My grandma and my mother to 80s and 90s music My grandma and my mother to 80s and 90s music I had to listen to this.
So happy to see so many people coming from Stranger Things and giving that song the love it deserves… Kate Bush is truly a classic for her timelessness… her music is always gripping and powerful and so many coming here now is a testimony to that!
I've always loved her song Suspended in Gaffa but after hearing this masterpiece on Stranger Things I'm now committed to checking out her entire discography.
What an astounded moment and exciting news to hear that Kate Bush's Running Up That Hill (A Deal with God) has topped the No.1 spot at the UK's Official Singles charts and not only. I am so thrilled for this achievement. I was 9 years old back in 1985 when this song came out, and listening to it all these years could not imagine that one day will picked at number one spot nearly everywhere. We, all, never regretted by every work you have done. Your lyrics, your music is unique for everyone of us and even for our children too. Speechless! Well done Kate!. Marios Katz xxx from Cyprus!
I remember hearing this song on 91X in San Diego back in the 80s and thinking how amazing it is. I still think it's amazing even after all these years.
It’s up for interpretation but Kate said herself it was about stepping into the other genders position and the understanding that would come from that.
@@s.w.0.3 Right that is what Kate intended, it definitely can apply to someone to experiencing deep depression from survivor's guilt as well like in Max's case on Stranger Things.
I'm fifty now and the funny thing is that Kate was sort of looked on as pretty nuts, back in the day....but now she's positively tame/normal. This WAS always her standout hit, anyhow.

That synth keyboard just gets me every time. This is my 80's childhood. This is looking at my mum and dad from my car seat. Kate Bush's music will always be a powerful influence on my life.
That was a touching way you put that.. especially with that interwoven memory of your parents! The same for me but with me it was listening to the radio with my sister while watching out the window or dancing like idiots. Nowadays we have grown apart but the memories stay!
I was 8 in 1985. I have an older sister and two older brother's and got much of my musical taste from them. One brother past away jan 2022 at 51 from cancer. Music is so great it helps keep us going..
I loved this song and the album 35 years ago (may be off a year) - it's haunting. Songs about challenges, living, experiencing. The entire album is an experience. Thank you Kate!
Completely & Totally Agree ... I've been so inspired by Kate I've written a little song on my YT Channel .... "Space Buoy -Stranger things (Can you Hear Me?)" ... Big Thanks Kate, thanks for the message on FaceBook!
Yeah@@JeffreyGoddin I learned of her from Peter Gabriel actually - "Don't give up" is a modern masterpiece. Lyrics, music which dare to delve deeper into our human experience.
For me Kate's most mesmerizing dance is in a grassy field doing Cathy's ghost dance in 'Wuthering Heights'. In a few sequences Kate mimes Cathy's hands against the window glass. She is one-of-a-kind. Flash mobs around the world mimic Kate's dance around hers, and Emily Brontë's birthday. The video can be found here: ua-cam.com/video/Fk-4lXLM34g/v-deo.html
I remember this song when I was a kid back in the 80’s. Listening to it again in the 4th epic episode of ST, was like a punch in the stomach that brought me back to my childhood and it is just perfect for that scene. I can’t stop rewatching episode 4.
I know how exactly how you feel, I was 7 when this was released and have grown up with this perfect song. Being used in Stranger Things just makes the nostalgia hit hard.
I’ve loved this song all my life. It’s incredible that a new generation of people are hearing and appreciating Kate’s music all these years later. Amazing song and amazing artist.
🎶 Moving liquid,yes,you are just as water. You flow around all that comes in your way.Don’t think it over,it always takes you over,and sets your spirit dancing🎶 Uhhhh....are we sure that Kate wrote Moving for Lindsey Kemp and not herself?😂
I feel fortunate to have grown up in the 80s, experiencing firsthand all the amazing music, movies, shows and culture that's not only stood the test of time, but become legendary.
Yup they're constantly been making fils and shows set in the 8os for bout past 10years now. But only a few get it right.. The Guest was great film with very 80s sounding music. This scene definetly got it right this time in the show best episode. Was so lucky to be born 81
sorry for your loss but what a beautiful memory to associate with him I lost a BF to AIDS not long after this was popular and we did the same thing at his funeral - I think he made a playlist once with ONLY this song... great times, sad times

The Strangest Thing is how many people are discovering Kate Bush when this song has been a hit for many years, listen to the 12 minute version and your soul will leave your body ❤
I'm 70 and have been fortunate to listen to some amazing music over the years. This, along with Led Zeppelin Stairway to Heaven are among the standout ones, Pink Floyd too
Kate Bush - a true, original artist who Sia, Lady Gaga, Florence and the Machine, Tori Amos and numerous others owe a lot to for inspiration ! I have loved Kate Bush for over 30 years and still find her amazing and relevant.
Without you saying much, I know for sure you're underestimating Lady Gaga. Listen to her acoustic lives (like Speechless, You and I), and stuff like her Sound of Music tribute and be prepared to have your jaw drop.
Experiencing 5 decades of music in real-time, I can unequivocally state that 80's is unparalleled. The absolutely best. You had the greatest diversity of selection at the highest quality. In my opinion the utilization of synth and electronic into pop was absolute perfection of synergy.
@@marlonpeters2000 I get that. But the 80s was like that every week/month that such a extremely high level song came out. Even after 40 years one can't walk into a shop, a home or a work place and *not* hear the 80s. Sometimes up to a level that it's almost unfair to the wonderfull music that has been done in this time. But such is life.
70's weren't bad either if you're selective. Check out ua-cam.com/video/uZ5sAa4IaJk/v-deo.html Or if you don't like links, search UA-cam for "Orlando Riva Sound -- Indian Reservation Video HQ"
I miss this type of music. It comes from the heart. So much passion. From the beat to the lyrics just reaches the soul. So much love. So tired of todays music.
They've ruined music ON PURPOSE, which is why we're now in a cultural dead-end with this garbage called 'RAP' (CRAP) full of lower base beats, horrible ghetto-culture lyrics, no melody, no harmony, nothing that will appeal to our higher-level selves where good & beauty reside. 'RAP' is a plague of a genre that has existed for WAY too long now...
I was 15 when this masterpiece came out. Glad to have been there when it happened. Many years later, even before the stranger things revival, it is a classic gem for all generations and beyond. Listen to it once and you are hooked for life.
None of you heard how this masterpiece was sung by 16-year-old teenagers on the Voice of Ukraine. It was so beautiful and fiery! They didn’t seem to compete, but just got high from the song and won.both. They are so talented that the coach could not choose one of them, but left both of them, sacrificing the others. It was very beautiful ❤
Kate Bush has always been a genius in my eyes. I played the The Kick inside' on the loop as a teenager, much to my parent's dismay. My children are now fans and her songs still hold up today.
I love seeing the younger generation finding out how awesome the music from the 70s and 80s was. Thank you youtube and tik tok for keeping the music alive.
I didn’t need Stranger Things to revive this song in my memory. I was working in a record store when this came out and we played it and played it and played it. Stranger Things use just emphasized the experience.
@@styxcreek exactly but this show something else how modern music give 0 feelings and if it does last short time ... skipping few songs good that anyway you get tired after few times hearing ...the other are ...... 🤦🏻♀️. Musically speaking this circle of life is 👎🏻
the song id actually not about that, its about how Kate thinks that if a man and a woman were able to swap places in a relationship with all the gender roles attached to it, they'r be able to understand each other better.

Bush explained in a 1985 interview: "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."

@@sarlina1 Agreed! I was huge into Hair Metal, but these songs are a timeless wonder!
I m now 63 years old. I was 25 years old and I can still bring back the feeling of the 80s. The music, the lifestyle, the fashion..... and the year 1985. it's like yesterday
Idk why these type of comments give me a different type of feeling kinda sad kinda happy...~time flies
Comments like these make me feel nostalgic for a time I wasn't even born yet. I hope I will make it to your age one day so I can relive the days of the 2020s the same way you can relive the 80s
How I wish I could have grew up back then born in the wrong generation no doubt in my mind
@@robinlawley3298 I feel the same. I also have the 70s in me, when I was a teenager and started with T Rex, Slade, Sweet... then rock, soul, then the disco era, the 80s with the many different directions, new wave, punk, rock, hip hop etc. the 90s from grunge to... I'm also not fixated on a decade or a genre of music. But grateful to have witnessed all of this. and even today there is good music, just nothing new.

@@nothabadamerican?
I love this song
@@nothabad I disagree with you completely on the song its actually pretty great from a musical and thematic aspect but I won't say anything to try to change your mind. Also, not the biggest fan of the show
She is my favorite artist. She wrote the song and had complete control of every aspect you hear, down to the exact rhythm of the drums, its ALL her. She also does all her backing vocals. A masterpiece of a song about the congruency needed within a relationship. Just pure magic, like all her work. The dance here depicts the struggle between two people to achieve harmony.. sometimes one feels crucified as you can see in the video. It ends with her as Diana the Greek goddess of the hunt.. Again pure genius.
I saw an interesting interview once with Bjork. She was asked who her influences were, without hesitation she said, " Kate Bush gave me permission to let all my sounds out. If it weren't for Kate Bush I would not have the courage to be me."
BOOOM RESPECT!!!
That really is high praise coming from Bjork. I totally understand why Kate Bush would be the person to inspire full expression. She's one of the most creative musicians ever.
@@colinbellew3020 Some of Bjorks pop type chart music isn't great and not in to her crazy arty stuff, but there are some excellent songs she's done.

i do not watch stranger things but a friend does, he had never heard this song before the show, he heard me playing it on my I pod and said he didn't know i was a Madonna fan, told him straight,
I enjoyed this song long before stranger things, hell before Netflix or even streaming was a thing. Heard it on the radio back in the 90s, wasn’t alive when it was made but was fortunate enough to hear it during my adolescence.
There is something about 80’s music that is so ethereal and comforting ❤️

Have no words to express how great it is that she, once again, gets the recognition she deserves.
Kate is the best English singer/songwriter EVER!!

It's not scary my friend! You and I, people with higher education, are able to turn our thoughts and ideas into words in different languages!
Since I was 7 in 1985. My father had bought The Dreaming and his brother Never for Ever. She's the best ever for me too 😊
So happy that we can rejoice here, under this video. Music just like history goes around in a circle,and oh am i so happy that Kate is known, me myself as person born quite early that is 2003, have known her forever, because my mother was a massive 80s kid and she introduced me to all the jazz haha
Finally the queen is getting recognition again! This song is my dad’s favourite song and it made me smile hearing it again. Her voice is unlike anything!
You got a cool as dad I bet
@@tretre5385 all my music taste is thanks to him! Patti Smith being another of his favourites.
As a dad im happy to hear im not the only one.
A brilliant voice, a magical sound and a timeless song from ANOTHER WORLD. Kate Bush acoustically anticipates all the fantasy worlds of later decades. Endless, for eternity.
So glad the public is getting a reminder of Kate Bush. She's released great music since before I was even born, and I adore all of it.
@Elijah Bussard I grew up wiv Kate Bush on the radio bak in the 80's
It was always baffling that she wasn't more popular in the US - hopefully she'll getva new bunch of fans.
Yeah so sad normies came from that shitty series stranger cucks.
I found this song many years ago an I loved that it was different an it transported me to the 80s
Ikr it’s crazy how people have just discovered her
Stop asking who's still listening, we never stop listening. This song is art, and it should be cherished by newer generations too.
I agree!! Loved her back in the 80's. Still do.
I'm still listening
Visca Barça 💙❤️
PURE ART!
That's right. It's art
The dancing in this clip is mesmerising ...absolutely brilliant.
+James Calley My wife was a professional ballet dancer... she could not believe Kate was not a pro dancer.
wow yeah ,she looks like a true proffessional,interesting your wife says that,maybe she was trained at a top level.

I was 21 when first heard this song. Now I'm 60 and still love it. Dec 2024
It is so gratifying to see a whole new generation of people discover Kate Bush. When I was in high school, a friend played me a cassette tape (hey, it was 1978) of her first album, "The Kick Inside". By the time "Hounds of Love" came out, I was a huge fan. As someone on here commented, it's strange that in the 1980s, many considered her songs and videos to be weird, but now, they make perfect sense. Guess that's one definition of being ahead of one's time.
Love your story!! I also think its great too because i'm young and my parents didn't even know of her music until I told them about her after watching stranger things! so cool how music moves!
This is one of those songs I've heard as a kid growing up but never really knowing the artist nor the lyrics to the entire song but I'm glad Stranger Things could provide the nostalgia for me to realize what the title and artists name.was.
@@mid_tl I had a 17 yr old employee telling another girl she discovered this song...if it wasn't for Stranger Things none of these kids would care
It’s kind of awesome that Stranger Things being set in the 80’s has made that era of music popular again for a new generation. I’m 19 and I can honestly say I would have never discovered this song or many others that have now become some of my favorites had it not been for that show.
ame, la verdad es que es muy poetica la letra, y muy linda a mi parecer, y sabes musicalmente esa produccion uff 10/10
For the generation (me included) born in the 1960/70-ties, Kate was a huge pop-icon. My older sister owned her first three albums. I still relate to every word and lyric. She played those records a lot. Thank you for playing them.
Thank you for sharing this, Very enjoyable artist, she has a unique tone to her voice and a very original way to show a certain emotion. Be grateful to your sister because this is truly a masterpiece ;
U must be 60 or something

The dreaming is my fav album how about you??
@@syntheticsilkwood2206 my favourite album is "The kick inside" it is one of her earlier albums.
@@satyaa_x Almost right. I am 52.
Perfect example of why older classics should be used in modern TV shows and movies. So many people hadn't heard this song and it made it popular for a second time for a whole new generation.
In 2021, ruthill was used in the serie It's a sin on Channel 4 , and re-entered Uk chart and iTunes....
Well,there that,and the fact that musical talent is dead,so they have no current songs of which to draw from
@@mcclift9451 Totally agree. Most of the young ones have no discernible talent other than shaking their a$$es around. Yawn.
It is so funny that Stranger Things literally brought this song to new heights that it never got when it came out.
I had never even heard of Kate Bush before this song featured so well on Stranger Things. Now I am a big fan. Amazing voice and very interesting songs.
I'm ever so glad that Kate Bush is having a resurgence. Her genius needs to be listened by all.

I hear this song and get this "Home Sick" feeling in my heart for back then. Recently heard this song in the Lifetime movie about Elizabeth Smart. Got the chills!
Songs practically getting a rerelease for a whole new generation. What a classic.
It’s this song and Man Without Love for me
Back it was my generation x who listened to the song, now the song is back thanks to gen z.
Yep!! I'm an 80s baby anyways so I already loved this song, but when I heard it during the Max scene on Stanger Things it literally gave me chills and I immediately added it to my favorites.
crazy how everything always come full circle
This song was also used on the tv show POSE, but I guess stranger things is a lot more popular.
80's pop music was at an elite level. Even songs that have been overlooked can come back at anytime.
The song has never been overlooked, read at least her wikiped' page
i usually play it daily❤
This song wasn’t overlooked at all. It’s always been considered Kate Bush’s best song and entered the Rolling Stones’ Top 500 songs the year before it was in Stranger Things
It's very true. The 80s had incredible music and was an incredible time!
@@ste9281 It tends to be a dual between this & Wuthering Heights. I looked up a dozen or so Kate Bush top hits compilations (which are often quite silly), but those two always were changing places. But those "Best of" lists normally only deal in hit songs. This song is undeniably #1 when it comes to sales. But when you look at all of her albums & releases and you're a big fan, then it's almost impossible to choose a #1 song. It's hard to be objective & choose a best song of hers. There are so many brilliant songs that might qualify. And you're right. It was never overlooked. This album even knocked Madonna off the number 1 spot in the UK. The single reached #3. But, "The Rolling Stone", which used to be really good in the 70s and 80s, is not taken very seriously anymore. They keep changing their top hits based on current listeners & trends. The last one was in 2004 and Running Up That Hill was not on it (nor any other hit of hers).
I was 18 years old when this song was first in the charts in 1985. I still love it and never get tired of it.What a drumline!!
I was 5 when this came out I would do anything to go back to the 80s
I was -20 but it still makes me somehow nostalgic
this is how i remember kate bush wuthering heights 1978 ua-cam.com/video/4Mi8JjtdZWA/v-deo.html and 2nd apr 1979 first UK Live concert
great music is timeless!
this song is so ahead of it's time and going strong today, really amazing beat!
I remember when this song first came out I was only 19 years old.
Now at the age of 58 & with the recent death of my husband from cancer, this song has much more deeper meaning to me.
Truly, it should have been me. I should have been the first to leave this life & move on to Heaven. He was such a extraordinary man, with exceptionally high standards. I was his "Little Princess" for 15 plus years...& Now its all over on this earthly life...forever.
Imagine 😂😂
Running Up That Hill belongs to a special group of songs that remain timeless. Kate Bush is an enigma and forever brilliant.
Awesome
True. A bit like Jeff Buckley.
yes, she is a beautiful "old soul" and this video is timeless, so graceful, yet poetic and romantic all at the same time. Loved Kate's music seems like forever still do..
the only comment i saw from long ago
@@bigfloyd21 yeah I know! Insane how all the old comments are just gone..
I only knew a handful of folks that were into Kate Bush back in the day. But you can't disguise genius. This video, I thought at the time, really is a peak moment for her, a full realization of her artistic ambitions. She wrote, arranged, played, mixed, choreographed, danced and amazingly sung this enchanting song.
I had wondered if that was Kate dancing. Was about Google, so you've saved me some time. Thanks!!
this is peak? the tempo doesn't change, the music barely builds, there's virtually no instrumentation other than that goose-honk with auto-tune, the lyrical lines are disjointed and unresolved.... this is like a Hilary Duff tune without the excuse of being a teenager

Because real musicianship and art isn't really happening right now. Where is this generations equivalent?
Fr
@@luannabbate2624 scoff all you want, but what do you understand about how society wide changes go about producing themselves?
37 years later this song hits it big. But don’t worry: Kate Bush is already worth a decent chunk of change. She owns the masters to this song for example. She made 2.5 million from Netflix alone. I’m 36 and had NO idea this song was as old as it was until I first went to download it 2 years ago.
From the first time I heard this song I felt deeply emotional about the lyrics. As I had applied them to my own life at the time.
However now having read Kate Bush’s explanation of what this son’s means it now has a more powerful emotional meaning.
To change places with the person you love, making a deal with God, and seeing things through their eyes walking in their shoes, feeling their feelings: well that could bring a couple much closer together. No matter how much we explain how we feel and think to actually feel it would be something else. Something unfortunately unattainable. But it’s amazing to think about let alone make a song about.
Kate was already rich, she's just richier. Thank.
Cough cough cough : she wrote all the songs, composed all the music of her discography, and since 1980 is a PRODUCER.
In 2014, during her residency, 8 of her albums re-entered uk chart....
According to the House Company, in Dec 2023 she earned 8 million with ruthill.
Netflix did not paid her, but the producers of Strange sthing did......... It's the only song used by the show in 4 seasons to re-entered charts around the world at n °1, and n °3 at the Billboard.
Nov 2024, it got more than a 1 billion streams. Thanks.
Her last TV appearance was in 1993. She just does a career from her home.
Believe it or not but before Strange sthing, they were people who knew about her.

A feast for the ears and the eyes. Forever a fan since Wuthering Heights, 1978.

Wow you've been a douche that long?
The metaphor of not giving in to your inner darkness. Fighting to stay. What a great message for young and old in these crazy times.
It’s up for interpretation but Kate said herself it was about stepping into the other genders position and the understanding that would come from that.
Not everything is a message Shauna
@@richardiredale5639 she's probably referencing how it was used in Stranger Things
@@s.w.0.3 Right that is what Kate intended, it definitely can apply to someone to experiencing deep depression from survivor's guilt as well like in Max's case on Stranger Things.

This song is about two decades older than me.
I appreciate the ability music has to transcend generations and bring us all together!

Oh, come on, darling (Ye-yo)
Let me steal this moment from you now
Oh, come on, angel (Ye-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

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
That synth keyboard just gets me every time. This is my 80's childhood. This is looking at my mum and dad from my car seat. Kate Bush's music will always be a powerful influence on my life.
SOFT SYNTH FTW, always.
same here, like really specifically i associate Kate Bush with childhood car trips
Rob! I had no idea you were a Kate Bush fan! The greatest drum tutorial channel on UA-cam is now one of my favorites on the website!
Lol,exactly as i remember 80s tracks
That was a touching way you put that.. especially with that interwoven memory of your parents! The same for me but with me it was listening to the radio with my sister while watching out the window or dancing like idiots. Nowadays we have grown apart but the memories stay!
it's at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 as of typing this! Congrats, Kate!!
I saw it🙌🏻. Love it❤️
unbelievable...40 years later :)
No.1 in uk
No 1 in the UK. Her first No 1 single in the UK since Wuthering Heights in 1978 - record gap of 44 years.
Now number one !!!
1985 people... 1985. i was 6 years old, and i still remember my older brothers listening to this. Lost one of them, but the music lives forever.
Music is a time machine takes you right back to certain moments in life.
😔
I was 6 too est 79
Well hello fellow people :) Didn't really expect to get any reaction.
I was 8 in 1985. I have an older sister and two older brother's and got much of my musical taste from them. One brother past away jan 2022 at 51 from cancer. Music is so great it helps keep us going..
O tanto que eu amo essa música não tá explicado, me acalma , me faz, viajar na música 🥹✊🏽
I loved this song and the album 35 years ago (may be off a year) - it's haunting. Songs about challenges, living, experiencing. The entire album is an experience. Thank you Kate!
Completely & Totally Agree ... I've been so inspired by Kate I've written a little song on my YT Channel .... "Space Buoy -Stranger things (Can you Hear Me?)" ... Big Thanks Kate, thanks for the message on FaceBook!
38-1/2 years! I’m getting old.
She had David Gilmore and Peter Gabriel as collaborators. The masters knew she was special, and here we are to witness.
Yeah@@JeffreyGoddin I learned of her from Peter Gabriel actually - "Don't give up" is a modern masterpiece. Lyrics, music which dare to delve deeper into our human experience.
The more I watch this video, the more I appreciate Kate Bush’s dancing skills. Timeless.
For me Kate's most mesmerizing dance is in a grassy field doing Cathy's ghost dance in 'Wuthering Heights'. In a few sequences Kate mimes Cathy's hands against the window glass. She is one-of-a-kind. Flash mobs around the world mimic Kate's dance around hers, and Emily Brontë's birthday. The video can be found here: ua-cam.com/video/Fk-4lXLM34g/v-deo.html

Home. here. now!
I remember this song when I was a kid back in the 80’s. Listening to it again in the 4th epic episode of ST, was like a punch in the stomach that brought me back to my childhood and it is just perfect for that scene. I can’t stop rewatching episode 4.
I know how exactly how you feel, I was 7 when this was released and have grown up with this perfect song. Being used in Stranger Things just makes the nostalgia hit hard.
@Jane Doe Kate Bush Running Up That Hill is my number one favorite song
I grew up in the 80s have no idea how I missed this song. I heard the Meg Meyer's version a few years ago and assumed it was new.
@leah gaiter Same here. But I remember the chorus very vaguely.
really? damn how old are you now?
I’ve loved this song all my life. It’s incredible that a new generation of people are hearing and appreciating Kate’s music all these years later. Amazing song and amazing artist.
Me too … it’s tripping me out.

She moves, sounds, and writes like flowing water. Beautiful.
And produced it all herself....
An amazing musical artist
🎶 Moving liquid,yes,you are just as water. You flow around all that comes in your way.Don’t think it over,it always takes you over,and sets your spirit dancing🎶 Uhhhh....are we sure that Kate wrote Moving for Lindsey Kemp and not herself?😂
Flowing water can write? I know you wanted to write something grand but don't sound stupid in the process.
@@cluman1 i know it could've sounded more prettier or have a better metaphor but there's no need to be rude
This song got me through some rough times, heard it on the radio and connected with it instantly.
If that show has brought nothing else to society , it's rebirthed this masterpiece.
ABSOLUTLY!!
This wasn’t even a banger in its day…
What show
@@yaboyharambe5561 Stranger Things. This song was used for something important in season 4.
Love that this has come back on top.
Another 80's classic. Such a fantastic decade of music that's still moving people
I feel fortunate to have grown up in the 80s, experiencing firsthand all the amazing music, movies, shows and culture that's not only stood the test of time, but become legendary.
Yup they're constantly been making fils and shows set in the 8os for bout past 10years now. But only a few get it right.. The Guest was great film with very 80s sounding music. This scene definetly got it right this time in the show best episode. Was so lucky to be born 81
@@joevans27 yes indeed, moonknight also got it
Your definition of "classic" is at odds with the way my peers and myself understand the term.
@@Kneon_Knight In my opinion, Kate has less popular tunes more deserving of the title, but some often judge by sales alone. I judge by content.
we played this at my dad’s funeral, he loved Kate Bush and at 20 i’m loving her too - always tear up at this song but it’s brilliant
sorry for your loss but what a beautiful memory to associate with him
I lost a BF to AIDS not long after this was popular and we did the same thing at his funeral - I think he made a playlist once with ONLY this song... great times, sad times
Sorry for your loss. My wife has brain cancer...I've asked God many times to swap our places.

I just wish ST season 4 released months ago. Kate Bush has been nominated for being entered into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame twice in the last two years. I better see all of y’all finally vote for her next year. I’m happy she’s getting the attention she finally deserves in recent times
It’s disturbing to think that May or mental health awareness month, and it’s aired at the end of May.
I second that, I hope she is nominated again for 2023. I kept voting for her this year but she didn’t make it in.

No one on it was going to beat Eminem lol he deserves it but good luck to you next year if shes in it again!
@@baggabarz There are multiple inductees each year. It’s not just one artist.
I consider that Kate Bush It has very nice songs, I really love the little people who continue listening to music like this.
This song is literally perfect and describes Max and how she feels so well. Cried that entire scene, it was quite incredible and definitely the best scene in ST💗🥺
Probably my favourite scene from all the seasons tbh, it was very good
Yes! Really made me cry. Beautifully done and a massive impact ❤
I thought the best scene was when they were swimming to the boat and the guy gets lifted out of the water and the basketball captains interview with the cops was such good acting
I loved it

It doesn't hurt me
Do you want to feel how it feels?
Do you want to know, know that it doesn't hurt me?
Do you want to hear about the deal that I'm making?
You
It's you and me
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
See, if I only could, oh
You don't want to hurt me
But see how deep the bullet lies
Unaware I'm tearing you asunder
Oh, there is thunder in our hearts
Is there so much hate for the ones we love?
Tell me, we both matter, don't we?
You
It's you and me
It's you and me, won't be unhappy
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

You're right. It's Mad that people are taking this to the Max.
It's funny that you said "Strangest Thing", since the reason most young people are here, is because of "Stranger Things"
I'm 70 and have been fortunate to listen to some amazing music over the years. This, along with Led Zeppelin Stairway to Heaven are among the standout ones, Pink Floyd too
@arthurforster9477 I am in very good company.
Kate Bush - a true, original artist who Sia, Lady Gaga, Florence and the Machine, Tori Amos and numerous others owe a lot to for inspiration ! I have loved Kate Bush for over 30 years and still find her amazing and relevant.
Have just gotten into her music recently and I'm amazed by her creativity, musical prowess & originality. She's truly something else entirely.
beautiful how you can see the influence she made on today's artists really shows she was innovative :)
Without you saying much, I know for sure you're underestimating Lady Gaga. Listen to her acoustic lives (like Speechless, You and I), and stuff like her Sound of Music tribute and be prepared to have your jaw drop.
Lady Gaga?? Hate to say, but she was the 1st Miley Cyrus. No way in helllll she looked up to Kate Bush, cause Kate Bush is a lot classy.
***** the end of the videp clip of born this way really looks like the end of babooshka
All the ppl that enjoyed this song should listen to the whole album, Hounds of Love is a masterpiece
Cloudbusting and Hello Earth give me goosebumps every single damn time
@@robf1557 and waking the witch...she really was ahead of her time
Absolutely
Any Kate Bush album is a masterpiece 💕I second the nomination for ‘Waking the Witch’ 🎶
No we watched Stranger Things lol
Experiencing 5 decades of music in real-time, I can unequivocally state that 80's is unparalleled. The absolutely best. You had the greatest diversity of selection at the highest quality. In my opinion the utilization of synth and electronic into pop was absolute perfection of synergy.
you should listen to Katy Perry - Thinking Of You (2008, from "One Of The Boys" album)
@@marlonpeters2000 I get that. But the 80s was like that every week/month that such a extremely high level song came out. Even after 40 years one can't walk into a shop, a home or a work place and *not* hear the 80s. Sometimes up to a level that it's almost unfair to the wonderfull music that has been done in this time. But such is life.
70's weren't bad either if you're selective.

I miss this type of music. It comes from the heart. So much passion. From the beat to the lyrics just reaches the soul. So much love. So tired of todays music.
me too
It's anti music today.
They've ruined music ON PURPOSE, which is why we're now in a cultural dead-end with this garbage called 'RAP' (CRAP) full of lower base beats, horrible ghetto-culture lyrics, no melody, no harmony, nothing that will appeal to our higher-level selves where good & beauty reside. 'RAP' is a plague of a genre that has existed for WAY too long now...
@@AngstG i mean you dont have to listen to rap if you dont like it and there are plenty of good music today
Go and listen to Florence Welsh (Florence and the Machine) - especially her last 2 albums.
Sadie Sink's acting and this song made that scene in stranger things 4 perfect. It gives me goosebumps and chills everytime I watch it.
She’s just absolutely gorgeous.. very very beautiful I LOVE Sadie 🥰🥰
"that scene" => which one ? There's several scenes I have in mind which would fit your description, so I'm pretty curious
@@sayuh5254 most likely the one where she is in the graveyard
ST is a stupid show and Kate Bush's music is too good for you.
I tear up every time I hear this song . I lost my dad and understand the deal with God to swap places.
I was 15 when this masterpiece came out. Glad to have been there when it happened. Many years later, even before the stranger things revival, it is a classic gem for all generations and beyond. Listen to it once and you are hooked for life.

None of you heard how this masterpiece was sung by 16-year-old teenagers on the Voice of Ukraine. It was so beautiful and fiery! They didn’t seem to compete, but just got high from the song and won.both. They are so talented that the coach could not choose one of them, but left both of them, sacrificing the others. It was very beautiful ❤
Kate Bush has always been a genius in my eyes. I played the The Kick inside' on the loop as a teenager, much to my parent's dismay. My children are now fans and her songs still hold up today.

@carolynm8421 Kate Bush Running Up That Hill is my number one favorite song
Romantic story 🙆
Yes!!
Don't save the one you love, let em fail. But this song is awesome though.
the song id actually not about that, its about how Kate thinks that if a man and a woman were able to swap places in a relationship with all the gender roles attached to it, they'r be able to understand each other better. Still, I think it can work with the interpretation stranger things gave it too
Yep still here ❤best wishes to all teens of 80 s!!!
