Kate Bush reaches #1 on the iTunes charts after song appearance in Stranger Things
- Thread starter Wrexis
- Start date
I always liked the Placebo cover after hearing it in Undertaker/HBK's Wrestlemania promo, but you're fucking crazy if you think it's better than Bush.
On the topic of covers, I can also recommend Meg Myers' version:

yup
I've been playing the clip of the scene in loop for 30 minutes now, lol!
The whole scene together with the song is just amazing. So emotional.

One of the things that made Bush stand out was that her debut album released when she was 18 or 19 years old; and some of the songs on that record she had already written when she was 13 yeras old. She is an insanely talented writer. I think the closest 'more' modern artists would be Tori Amos I think; but Bush has influenced probably every female singer/songwriter since she appeared.
It was the perfect song for that scene, which is why it was used.
Hounds Of Love also top tier tbh. Maybe above Running Up That Hill but I'm conflicted.
Decent, I'll add it to my pop/rock playlist
going off-topic now but Myer's album "Sorry" is pretty great. Motel, Sorry and Desire are some great tracks. If you dig that I can recommend you to check out her other stuff as well.

Prefer this to the Placebo version but they're all great
I prefer "Waking the Witch", "Mother stands for Comfort", "Hello Earth" and even "And Dream of Sheep" to "Running Up that Hill". Don't get me wrong "Running up that Hill" is great and also was my entry point, but it speaks more to how great an album "Hounds of Love" is overall.
I was only familiar with this version of it before the show.
It's a pretty cool video, too.

Hmm yeah, she seems like a big deal. and listening to some of her singles you can definitely hear that sound prevalent in a lot of other artists such as the ones y'all mentioned.
anyways both the Placebo and Meg Meyers (first I've heard the latter) cover rule. but the original is the best here imo.
Also Chromatics one kinda falls flat on its face, usually like that band but Ruth's vocals are weak af on that.

Good taste.
"If I only could,
I'd make a deal with god,
and get him to swap the music."
Keep runnin' up that hill, dude.
For anyone just coming to Kate Bush through this song, first of all welcome! Secondly I would really recommend trying the album that the song comes from, Hounds of Love:
The first five songs (Side A of the vinyl) are relatively straightforward pop songs, four of them being the singles released from the album. Side B (or track 6 onward) is an interconnected suite of songs known as The Ninth Wave, and it chronicles the story of a woman lost at sea and what goes through her mind during the ordeal. It's honestly very hard to describe how important the album as a whole (and that second half in particular) is to me, and what an affecting piece of work it is.

yeah, same lol
the show did right to lean on Max this season
Also was used in a far better context by a far more popular and influential media property:
HBK vs Undertaker WM26 Promo (Running up that Hill)
All copyright goes to the WWE, I am sharing this amazing video package because it is just perfect. :) Awesome song as well ***SONG IS CALLED RUNNING UP THAT ...

Nothing is made better by wrestling. In fact, it does the opposite and immediately makes me want to violently give up on art.Also was used in a far better context by a far more popular and influential media property:

Quite a few better, including cloudbusting, the man with the child in his eyes, moving, wuthering heights, women's work, sensual work, them heavy people... OMG she is just the best. And running up that hill is great too
Interestingly enough. Big Boi from Outkast also is a huge fan and cites her as an influence.
You probably prefer the Alien Ant Farm cover of Smooth Criminal too
the first time I heard "Hello Earth" kinda came and went, I didn't like Side 2 that much (strange, because I sorta come from a prog-rock musical background so I guess my expectations were misaligned or something).
The second time I paid attention to the whole thing and it hit me like a truck. I was entranced. I was having a very emotional, very intimate reaction to that song. The atmosphere, Kate's vocals, the lyrics, that haunting choir. I don't think I've ever heard something that hits me like "Hello Earth" does. It's beautiful and haunting. I think it might be my favorite moment from the entire "Hounds of Love" album ("Cloudbusting" from Side 1 is my other pick).
Stranger Kings. I'm interested in the viewership count. It feels like an even bigger event than previous times.
Whoever did the violin orchestration score to match and enhance the Kate Bush song in that scene is brilliant.
Adding an orchestral accompaniment to your pop song in a hero moment is a winning strategy

Atleast they are already on the right track and might check out the full Hounds of Love album
Wuthering Heights is like the national anthem in the UK but virtually unknown in the US.
Yes, everything about this correct.
And when you're all done listening to "Running Up That Hill", hop on over to her 1989 classic EP, "The Sensual World".
"The Fog" from that album is probably top 5 for me. Some of her simpler lyrics, but an absolute melding of lyrics, vocals and sweeping production.
