Running Up That Hill: Kate Bush's Supernatural Revival

Trace the extraordinary journey of Kate Bush's 'Running Up That Hill' from its 1985 release to its unexpected resurgence through Stranger Things in 2022. The episode delves into Bush's original inspiration for the song - exploring gender dynamics through a supernatural deal with God - and her innovative use of the Fairlight CMI synthesizer. We examine how the song's themes of empathy and gender perspective-switching were ahead of their time, its influence on alternative music, and how its placement in Stranger Things introduced Bush to a new generation while maintaining the song's artistic integrity.
