When this came out in '85 I thought it was the coolest song out there, there was else nothing like it, especially in the 80's. Took her 37 years to finally get paid and it was long overdue. Timeless.

[@billwhitted252]

The video Kate Bush does all the Dancing she's Beautiful and very talented ❤️

[@willynilly2545]

This ENTIRE album is genius! From frtont to back it's excellent. She wrote and produced it all herself and played most of the insturments. Takes you on a journey.

[@michiganjfrog366]

I loved Kate Bush since I was in high school in the early eighties. Class of 84 😊

[@martintayler23]

To write a song about a relationship slowly disintegrating and saying to her partner, 'It's you and me', there are two of us. Her solution is to make a deal with God to swap places so each of them can realise how the other person feels....with the view to mending the relationship. Such deep yet also sad lyrics. The accompanying video and dancing, choreographed by Kate, shows why we admire her as a performer because of her versatility. Although it got much airplay because of 'Stranger Things', I like to remember back in the 1980's when this was first released and being completely mesmerised. 'Cloudbusting', from the same album, is also worth a listen because it is loosely based on a real person and the accompanying video, with a guest appearance of Donald Sutherland, makes it a magical song. Keep exploring Kate Bush guys.

[@TheRatsCast]

More over; the idea of running up that hill or running up that building meant that now that she's a man; she would be able to do the things a man could. Women in the workplace doing get a fair shake; so to switch places would be a boon to her. Plus he would now know what it means to be a woman

[@puppyjim]

Although Kate choreographed many of her dance routines, Running Up That Hill is choreographed by Diane Grey.

[@martintayler23]

@@puppyjim My mistake but the dancing is glorious nonetheless!

[@robertembury6094]

If she could really do that I think she would be very disappointed!

[@robinakym2356]

Not just huge in the UK but all through Europe, Australia and New Zealand. I’ve been listening to her since I was 9 when her first single ‘Wuthering Heights’ came out. So many great songs. ‘This Woman’s Work’ ‘Wow’ ‘The man with a child in his eyes’ ‘Hounds of love’’Breathing’ ‘The Dreaming’ ‘Cloudbusting’ ‘Babooshka’ so many greats I wouldn’t even know where to start. So creative, so theatrical.

[@kellycornell7510]

She was bigger in Canada too.

The fact this woman wrote, co produced and sang her music from a teenager.

[@isobeljames1328]

Kick inside, lionheart produced by Andrew Powell/ song engeneer Jon Kelly...... There's a punch... Never for ever Co produced with sound engeneer Jon Kelly Since 1982, she's the producer, just sayin'

England's national treasure.Amazing talent.

[@sarleywinkle]

And she was that teenager.

[@wendyb5979]

Her song This woman's work is beautiful and maxwell covered it

[@francelaferriere6106]

The first song I ever heard from her is "Wuthering Heights" back in the 80s. Her voice is just unreal, almost ethereal.

[@johnreilly9452]

Kate is a bona fide genius one of her early hits a song called The Man with the child in his eyes, is a thing of beauty . She wrote it at the age of 13, give that a listen guys and marvel at how someone so young could compose something so profound

[@sharkeysnight]

She's been my all time favorite artist for 20 years now. Very special and unique.

[@lewismaddox4132]

"Is there so much hate for the ones we love?" That is just such a thought provoking line. Kate's beyond human!

[@mikeroche9986]

She does a great duet with Peter Gabriel called “Don’t Give Up”

[@Linda-y9h]

One great frickin song. They should react to it.👍

[@loisrogers9042]

Powerful ❤

[@mvellis3863]

While most of the attention has been given to "Running Up That Hill" on this album (deservedly so), the blow-your-mind masterpiece on Hounds of Love is the whole of side 2. It is a seven-song conceptual suite collectively called "The Ninth Wave," which tells the story of a woman shipwrecked at sea, floating alone at night and struggling to survive as she slips in and out of consciousness. It is a brilliant piece of prog music unlike anything you've heard before, and aptly displays the musical and lyrical genius of Kate Bush.

[@Lilione111]

Just a reminder of her age when she wrote this. The sophistication is crazy for someone so young. And her vocals!!! No auto tune.

[@tomtorres212]

I still remember working in a record store in Vienna back then when i listened to the whole album the very first time and my jaw dropped - a masterpiece ;)

[@deggsymarley]

The video really shows off her dance & mine skills , vocals piano guitar drums & Synthesizers ,ahead of its time

[@lindascott6902]

Interesting that you didn’t choose Kate’s first hit, Wuthering Heights. It’s based on the book of the same name, and tells the tale of Cathy’s ghost haunting her lover, Heathcliff. Goes well with the Halloween theme...

[@terrilgeorge7255]

Agreed. I suggested Wuthering Heights too. I'm still glad Kate has been on the channel, she's amazing. I've never seen the show, but have always loved the song anyway.

[@itsmedrooms6071]

You’re totally right that Wuthering Heights should have been reviewed in keeping with the Season. Using RUTH was a stretch and only because it was used in a TV show!

[@LeeMichaelWalton]

Kate has a deep expression of Wiccan artistry running through her work. She draws on many esoteric philosophies.

[@kentmains7763]

Kate is a true one of a kind!

[@terryallen345]

She also did this song during the London Olympic Games opening ceremony. Some day please do her "Woman's work". Another great song

[@maxmirni2768]

woman's work is her magnum opus - completely under rated

[@vanyadolly]

Such an amazing artist that I'm constantly stunned wasn't as big in the US. Makes me glad to be European 😄 It's great that more people were introduced to her through Stranger Things and she's finally getting the recognition she deserves across the pond. Other favourites are Wuthering Heights, Hounds of Love, and The Sensual World.

[@Μαρίαπ-μ8β]

Very glad that Kate finally did it and crossed the Atlantic!👍She is a unique artist and has tried to make it over there ..she did it,she deserved it absolutely..

[@janewright2800]

'The ninth wave' on side 2 of 'Hounds of love' is incredible!

[@lizmarch4000]

Max's face as she's running for her life gave life to this song. (again)

[@joelscottarnold3262]

Oddly enough, Kate’s first thought when this song began was the old saying “make a deal with the devil”, and she thought- wouldn’t it be more interesting to make a deal with God? That’s actually the true title “Deal With God”, but the record label thought it was too controversial. Kate also created the song in a studio built in her home with a synthesizer that was state of the art in 1985. She is such an absolute genius. This song changed how I listened to music in high school- it really changed me. Love, love, love Kate Bush.

[@rnw2739]

The label didn't consider the title too controversial, they told Kate that some backward places like Ireland and Italy would consider it 'blasphemous'..... It's laughable. The Irish would be outraged and demonstrate against the album if it was named that yet they didn't give a shit about slinging their own daughters into Magdalene Laundries if they had been raped, to live out the rest of their lives being worked to death and abused, both mentally and physically, by sadistic nuns 😂😂

[@anthonyblakely399]

We knew in our generation what this song meant!!!!! lol We knew!!! But what we didn't know is that your generation would enjoy this song and Kate Bush!!!! That was a SURPRISE!!!!

[@dranet47]

Thank you for giving Kate some love!

[@jayo.7086]

I remember hearing this for the first time when it broke into the US Top 40 (back in the Casey Kasem countdown days), I liked it so much I bought the whole album. Loved her duet with Peter Gabriel the following year “Don’t Give Up”, and “This Women’s Work” a few years later.

[@Citizenesse8]

I still have my original cassette. I used to listen to a program called Rock Over London with Graham Dene. I didn't hear the song there but I heard a lot of great songs that were played on American radio from that show.

[@fnjerseygirl]

"This Woman's Work" reminds me of the move with Kevin Bacon called "She's Having a Baby " it was featured at the end of the movie

[@Citizenesse8]

@@fnjerseygirl I love that song. I also love that movie. I remember that scene vividly.

[@RachelinKy]

So glad you finally got to this one.

[@jeffcobb2734]

Drummer for this track was Stewart Elliott. The synth sounds came from a Fairlight synthesizer. "The lyrics imagine a scenario in which a man and a woman make "a deal with God" to exchange places with each other. Bush wrote and produced "Running Up That Hill" using a Fairlight CMI synthesiser and a LinnDrum drum machine. She retained all copyright to the composition."

Listen to her Cloud Busting and her duet with Peter Gabriel Dont Give Up.

[@francelaferriere6106]

Cloud Busting is another excellent song.

[@gabrielmcdonnell8699]

Donald Sutherland in the music video. 🤓

[@TheRatsCast]

If you want haunting; then there's no better song than Wuthering Heights. Based on the book; the song is sung from Catherine's point of view. But Catherine is dead at this point; so we are hearing her ghost calling out to her lover. Now that's a very haunting song

[@abc-mm1ks]

Concordo com você 🤔

[@juliettespain7994]

On"Stranger things-" it was one of the perfect songs for this series.

[@jovieshacarty5811]

Deffo was couldn’t stop singing it🤣

[@juliettespain7994]

#Fact 😅

[@Marcus-Oh-really-yes]

Kate's voice is ethereal and haunting (in a good way 🙂 ) ... You might like another song featuring Kate, a duet with Peter Gabriel from 1986 called "Don't Give Up." It's sad but also uplifting. I recommend the official music video, a simple set-up in which Peter and Kate hug each other/cling to each other as the camera rotates slowly in circles around them. Very moving.

[@leroyrs]

This song was pretty succesful in Europe during the mid 80s - especially in the clubs. Kate was one of a few 80s artists that used the first digital sampler/synth in her songs - the Fairlight CMI - very expensive equipment those days.

[@leslieturner8276]

Indeed Babooshka was the very first hit single to include a sample.

[@j.k.1963]

I so appreciate your effort to dive into the depths of Kate's creativity, art and skills as a singer, composer, lyricist, producer. Kate, early in her career at 19, 20 years old, made sure she stayed in control over her work. She quickly picked up the influence of the 'men in power' and knew that was not the way to go. She and her relatives fulfilled all aspects needed to stay in control. This album was her major commercial success. Although other albums deserved the honour as well. Never For Ever (1980) was her third album and the first where Kate was co-producer. It also was her last. She produced her fourth album (The Dreaming, 1982) on her own and that one was really something else. Nothing like it existed before or after. The same goes for each following album. No song is alike. She always chose a different angle for each album. Many people had a hard time understanding where she was coming from, but at the same time this made her even more interesting as an artist. Last year was really good to her, only by the influence of Stranger Things regarding the reception this track got, by this series. Good for Kate (and her bank account).

[@gusrose62]

❤

[@444dkm]

High school nostalgia time for me.

[@redfog42]

I remember seeing her on TOTPs back in the day and was immediately impressed! Totes fab!

[@stever7732]

Yes, Kate was a genius. She was actually huge globally, not just in the UK. It was really just America where she didn’t fully take off, for a number of reasons really - never toured there, lack of promotion from her American distributor for her early albums, and no clear fit for Kate’s style of music on America’s format driven radio back then. She did however have a relatively small cult following in America, which was due almost entirely.y to college radio. No, David Gilmour was not playing on that track. Alan Murphy was the guitarist.

[@mpete42]

Kate Bush composed/arranged/produced/sung and did the layering of crazy backing vocals etc. The beat was originally done by the Bass player Del Palmer programmed on a Linn-Drum machine. Alan Murphy was the guitarist on this track not Dave Gilmour (he does play on a couple of KB tracks) On any Kate Bush track it is usually Kate herself playing keyboards synth or piano. The full cast here are Kate Bush: Fairlight synth, vocals Drums: Stuart Elliot Del Palmer: Bass (original Linn-Drum programming) Alan Murphy: Guitar Paddy Bush: Balalaika

[@Citizenesse8]

So I heard this song when I was a teenager and it hit home immediately in terms of the melancholia and the heavy driving drumline baseline and Kate's voice was transcendent. The line that always got me was about making a deal with God and swapping places to really really see what was being felt. The song never felt evil to me even when it was used in Stranger Things. The loss and the sacrifice is always what comes through for me. I'm really glad you guys love the song. Edited because the degradation of Voice to Text continues and it doesn't know how to capitalize anymore and cuts off ends.

[@MyDaisy66]

I was 19 when this came out. Growing up in London we had so many bands and musicians close by. But Kate Bush was different from all the others. She was unique. When this song came out, I bought the vinyl single and I played it to death. It’s a song i go back to constantly over the years. I’m 57 now and still listen to Kate regularly. She is a family favourite 💗

[@TheFairyintheFishBowl]

She was HUGE in South Africa too! A FAVOURITE of mine since I was a little girl…”Wuthering Heights” & “The Man with a Child in his Eyes” & “Babooshka” were my favourites to start…she’s so beautiful & talented! ❤

[@clairash2004]

I grew up with Kate Bush's music (born 79). Big fan. I absolutely love Placebo's cover, well worth a listen.

[@emfer3010]

Great reaction guys. Kate Bush is briljant storyteller. All her songs is a story and/or has deeper meaning. Her song Hammer Horror would fit perfectly in your Halloween theme. Hope to see more Kate Bush songs on yoyr channel.

This woman was just a genre of our own. mind when we privileged to be born when she was around.

[@eggy1962]

The one live version kicks ass, Gilmour replaces the synth parts with his lead, the bass and drums are way more punchy.

[@skinmeister1]

I listened to this album as a 19-year old in '85 and LOVED it back then!! This is one of those tunes I never got tired of. Give "Cloudbusting" a listen next... but the muted, mystical "Under Ice" might be the best suited for Halloween. Check it out!

Kate was discovered and mentored by David Gilmour of Pink Floyd fame. She’s likely one of the most brilliant artists ever.

She's OK but I never found most of her sings interesting: like the "Wow" one.

@@aimfuldrifter I can respect that, definitely. More than anything, I respect her uniqueness and how she was uncompromising about bringing that to her music.

Kate Bush is amazing. I loved the Hounds Of Love record and I really loved when this song went back to number 1 in the charts again after Stranger Things. It was so refreshing to see so many new people introduced to her music.

[@darkmatter6714]

She’s as much a performer in interpretative dance as she is an actress and singer. If you watch her music videos, you will be captivated. The first time I saw Wuthering Heights, I was scared, confused and aroused all at the same time! She’s my favourite witch!

Kate has written many great songs - Wuthering Heights, This Womans' Work, The Man with the Child in his Eyes and loads more

[@gregrathbone986]

I was 30 years old in 1985. I’d been a fan (Her songs a big hit in the clubs here in the US) of Kate Bush since 1978. When this album was released in 1985 I played it so many times the needle ground through the vinyl.

[@jamesdignanmusic2765]

Kate is a deep deep well. Loads of great hits - and great album tracks too. Her lyrics are always intriguing - this one I take to be woman who - during sex - says to her partner "If I could I'd swap our places so that you know how it feels to me and I know how it feels to you!" Some of the lyrics definitely suggest that. This album and her debut "The Kick Inside" are both worth full album reviews. My favourite of her songs her astonishing early track "The Man With the Child in His Eyes" which she wrote as a fifteen-year-old. A good Hallowe'en track from her would be "Hammer Horror" or "Waking the Witch".

[@darrenhoskins8382]

Definitely The Man With The Child in his Eyes ❤️❤️❤️

[@Wordsmyth8]

Such a great song.

[@mauk2861]

She is certainly one artist you should play the video for!

If you want to have your musical minds truly blown, listen to The Ninth Wave - side 2 of this album. It is a suite and should be listened to as a whole. Don't forget she is the producer.

[@andyhutchings7608]

If you really want a Kate Bush Hallowe’en track,there are so many, but “Get out of my House” the last track on her album The Dreaming, is inspired by “The Shining”!

[@jayrtee]

If you are interested in another fantastic TV/music combo, Stevie Nicks doing Seven Wonders for American Horror Story: Coven is the best storyline combination in my opinion.

[@christianrasmussen11]

Bush said the lyrics address the inability of men and women to understand each other. She imagined that by making "a deal with God", they could exchange places and reach a greater understanding.The song was originally titled "A Deal with God", but representatives at EMI Records feared this would make it unpopular in more religious countries.The album version of the song is listed as "Running Up That Hill (A Deal with God)". The music video features Bush performing an interpretive dance with dancer Misha Hervieu.The video was directed by David Garfath while the dance routines were choreographed by Diane Grey.Bush and Hervieu are shown wearing grey hakama.Bush wanted the dancing in "Running Up That Hill" to be more of a classical performance. She stated that dance in music videos was "being used quite trivially, it was being exploited: haphazard images, busy, lots of dances, without really the serious expression, and wonderful expression, that dance can give. So we felt how interesting it would be to make a very simple routine between two people, almost classic, and very simply filmed. So that's what we tried, really, to do a serious piece of dance." The choreography draws upon contemporary dance with a repeated gesture suggestive of drawing a bow and arrow, intercut with surreal sequences of Bush and Hervieu searching through crowds of masked strangers. At the climax of the song, Bush's partner withdraws from her and the two are then swept away from each other and down a long hall in opposite directions by an endless stream of anonymous figures wearing masks made from pictures of Bush and Hervieu's faces. MTV chose not to show this video (at the time of its original release) and instead used a playback "live" performance of the song recorded at a promotional appearance on the BBC TV show Wogan. According to Paddy Bush, "MTV weren't particularly interested in broadcasting videos that didn't have synchronized lip movements in them. They liked the idea of people singing songs.".

[@gavinjesse6862]

Brings back memories off 1985. One off the best music years ever.

[@terrylewis_]

Kate Bush is my favorite artist.

[@epongeverte]

I believe that she is in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. She had a lot of songs from the 70s/80s. She played on MTV and radio a lot in the 80s in the USA.

[@sonofmargit]

You know how great art can change your very being? This album did just that for me, when it came out. And it remains my all-time fav album, if I really had to choose just one. I HIGHLY recommend leaning back with headphones on, maybe get a wee bit high (if that's your thing), and just immerse yourself from first second to last. Part 1 is amazing, but part 2 will blow your mind, it's soooo good. A little scary at times, but I love scary stuff, so...

[@sonofmargit]

Also, her album 'The Dreaming' is another masterpiece, and a concept album as well. So very different from anything you've heard.

[@Phillphine]

My brothers brought home a lot of music and one of them got this back when it came out originally. You mentioned Halloween. Right on this album, "waking the witch". Edit: if you're collecting Halloween songs, it might be a little off the beaten path, but try Gretchen Parloto, "juju". She's a jazz artist, so not top 40 stuff, but it has an eeriness to it.

[@gabrielmcdonnell8699]

Thanks, guys. Thanks, “Stranger Things”, for introducing the song to the younger generations.That said, in keeping with your Halloween theme, I wish that you had chosen Kate’s “Experiment IV” (with its creepy video). ✌🏽

[@Citizenesse8]

I've been a Kate Bush fan for ever since I heard Running Up that Hill on American radio. That being said I love Experiment IV. Love the video for it and a very young Hugh Laurie that's in it as well.

[@jameswarner5809]

For Hallowe'en, surely it has to be Hammer Horror.

[@warrenbridges1891]

Dave only played guitar on the live version. He played guitar on "Rockets Tail" and "Love and Anger" off "The Sensual World" 1989. Plus backing vocals on "Pull Out The Pin" 1982. A song about a Viet Cong fighter in the Vietnam war, stalking an American soldier.

She anticipated Portishead and Massive Attack by a decade

[@philipe1966]

Do yourselves a favour and listen to the album (Hounds of Love) with headphones… especially The Ninth Wave. Kate’s a genius. Her songwriting, production, voice and story telling hit me emotionally.

[@epongeverte]

Some other REALLY good songs by her are: HOUNDS OF LOVE, DON'T GIVE UP (sung with Peter Gabriel), and THIS WOMAN'S WORK.

[@Jontor11]

I just recently discovered the video/song 'Army dreamers' by Kate Bush. Wow.

[@TheRatsCast]

Actually; she has quite the following in the US. 80s rock legend Pat Benatar was a big. On ĥer second studio album; Pat performed Wuthering Heights, a song that was very divisive with Kate's fans. In the song All Fired Up; off net 8th album, there's a line that goes "Gonna feel the Kick Inside". This is a reference to Kate's first album The Kick Inside. BTW; I'm one of those fans

[@blue-ch7ik]

Early 80s British music was really inventive and great. The best in my opinion

[@mariolopez.photographer]

Phil Collins actually played drums for her in a live performance. What a fun review. There is a documentary on the making of this album and my mind was blown at how much control Kate Bush has over every sound you hear in her songs. She was very specific about the drums in this song. She is a true musical genius. I am a long time fan and I am happy she is being rediscovered.

[@oakhillfound847]

There's a live performance. On youtube where David plays the synthesizer run on his guitar
