Warning: This article contains spoilers for Stranger Things season 4, episode 4. Kate Bush has issued a rare public comment, sharing her love of the Netflix hit show Stranger Things and her excitement over the ‘whole new lease of life’ it has given to her 1985 song Running Up That Hill.
Bush’s song is first played in the (excellent) season four soundtrack in its first episode, as Max Mayfield (Sadie Sink) listens to it on her Walkman, before receiving greater prominence in episode four of season four’s volume one drop.
Its inclusion on the monster hit show’s soundtrack sparked a big resurgence in interest in Bush’s track and wider musical output, with some of the show’s younger fans discovering it all for the first time.
Just a few days after season four volume one dropped, the track shot to number one on the US iTunes chart.
