Strange Phenomena: The Music of Kate Bush

Special - Let's Go Running Up That Hill with Stranger Things

32 min • 9 juni 2022

Well what a week it has been! Our lovely Kate is now sitting at #1 on Spotify, she has scored her first top 10 hit in the US, she's reentered the UK charts.....

And it's all because of a Netflix show!

This week, we're adding on to the story of Running Up That Hill, which you may remember I recorded back in 2019 here! Well, now there's more to the story!

The show Stranger Things used Running Up That Hill in the current season as a favorite song for one of the main characters, Max. In the fourth episode, the song is further used as a device to save Max's life. Because of this emotional scene, Running Up That Hill has been introduced to millions of new fans, especially younger fans. We're going to talk about how this song came to be used in Stranger Things, what Kate thinks of the show (she's a fan!), and our own thoughts on the exploding popularity of this song.

You can find that pivotal scene here on YouTube.
