On the topic of covers, I can also recommend Meg Myers' version:

Yeah that violin beat is great. Prefer it over this one. Never really listened to Kate Bush much before but she seems like she's gotta be hella influential to acts like Florence and the machine right?
Popular show set in the 80's with a popular song from the 80's, kinda lazy imo.
edit
All I'm saying other 80's songs exist, and other Kate Bush songs exist.
Hounds Of Love also top tier tbh. Maybe above Running Up That Hill but I'm conflicted.

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.Hounds Of Love also top tier tbh. Maybe above Running Up That Hill but I'm conflicted.

Bjork, Fiona Apple, Tori Amos, Florence.etc She was the template and influence for a lot of the eccentric, artsy ladies of the 90's and onward.
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.

yeah, same lolI'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.
Wuthering Heights was/is a bigger success for her.When a Kate Bush song gets mainstream acknowledgement, it's always "Running up that Hill". Like I get that's her most popular single, but damn, can we at least hear "Cloudbusting" every once in a while?

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 ...www.youtube.com
Just like Morbius.Nothing is made better by wrestling. In fact, it does the opposite and immediately makes me want to violently give up on art.
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.
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.
Kromeo, are you OK?You probably prefer the Alien Ant Farm cover of Smooth Criminal too
Adding an orchestral accompaniment to your pop song in a hero moment is a winning strategyWhoever did the violin orchestration score to match the Kate Bush song in that scene is brilliant.
Atleast they are already on the right track and might check out the full Hounds of Love albumWhen a Kate Bush song gets mainstream acknowledgement, it's always "Running up that Hill". Like I get that's her most popular single, but damn, can we at least hear "Cloudbusting" every once in a while?

Yessss. Hounds of Love deserves more love.Hounds Of Love also top tier tbh. Maybe above Running Up That Hill but I'm conflicted.
