Meg Myers - Running Up That Hill (Live at iHeart Radio's Women Who Rock)

[@sergecouvrette9400]

That cello makes it even more dramatic... i adore the rage and intensity in your voice. Its like your holding back and containing a thunderstorm. So beautiful.

[@WHR17]

Usually I am not a fan of covers. This song was already iconic she just took it to another level. The intensity of her performance is amazing!!! Would love to see her in concert.

Re-watch Kate's Running video ... and then tell me if Meg's rendition doesn't pale a tad in comparison. Kate put more energy and verve into Running.

I thought the same thing. Her voice actually got me to put a comment down ha!

[@wendeln92]

She creates a certain level of tension and expectation that just works so well. Kate Bush has a "sweeter" though still powerful voice, Meg's vocals here are perfect. I never heard the KB version (or the song period) but loved this one first time I heard it and had to find out what song it was and who sings it.

Man I can't get enough of Meg Myers! IMO she should be one of the biggest stars on the planet. As for me I have been an absolute METALHEAD for the past 22 years(I'm currently 35).... and metal is what I almost strictly listen to 90% of the time. I could never really understand how artists like Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Ariana Grande etc are so HUGE in today's mainstream etc I'm not saying they aren't good....I guess they do their thing quite well. But for me Meg Myers is so amazing and talented and I love her....I think she deserves so much more recognition than she gets and I think she is so much better than most of this shit that rules the mainstream. I'm also proud to know that Meg is from Nashville Tennessee, which is only 2 hours from where I am in Tennessee. Proud to be a metalhead and a Meg Myers fan 😂😎🤘

[@J_Mock92]

To anyone who says shes off-key or anything, shes actually hitting all the notes as intended quite beautifully, with subtle yet distinctly noticeable changes in certain runs, and seemingly purposeful changes in key... The soundboard mixer(s) could've adjusted some things for sure, but this is also definitely just one of those songs that is HARD to sing, and will never really sound quite as good or have that same impact when sung live, unless the arrangement is altered so much that it's practically unrecognizable. A stripped down version could be beautiful (the first example that comes to my mind is some of the "one mic, one voice," or whatever versions of songs from Banks, since her music tends to be so heavily produced), but its kinda hard to do that when you didn't write the song and/or don't have a multi-million dollar team to collaborate with... idk. I think Meg always sounds great! I'd love to hear her sing this stripped down though!

[@anthonyj9787]

I didn’t even know who she was until today, played this song over and over already. She Johnny Cash’d this song. She took it and made it her own. Like all respect to the originator but this Meg completely made this her song. The deep voice to high delicate pitch is incredible. Then the voice fluttering at the end of a line, like she’s crying while singing it’s so crazy. These are the kind of people we need in music, she sounds UNIQUE. But I’ll bet that’s the exact reason I hadn’t heard of her yet. Too UNIQUE. Doesn’t “sound like everyone else” enough.

But all the while, your voice gaining footing, bending to your will. Literally the greatest song performance that I've ever seen sung, in 49 years. Kate is weeping with pride; and Siouxsie is nodding, smiling in her quirky way, and ushering you forth. Exemplary. Thank you (again).

I echo your comment 100%. Everything about her has always been so unique, captivating and 🤔 unapologetically seductive with her music, even more so with her performances (if you haven’t seen her live * you must * ) ...personally what’s more impressive is that she’s evolved so much since I first saw her. 2012. (5x in total since then) && my admiration since has only grown. My loyalty with evolving artists usually wears thin (example that comes to mind: linkin park ) When you talk to her she’s so down to earth , almost shy? However, she’s really grown with confidence & realizing her value shines through in her new album. 🙄 wow , that was way more content than I initially intended to write haha. Okay , Goodbye! 😁
