The Enduring Power of Kate Bush

[@OuterGalaxyLounge]

Younger people, there's always a vast amount of amazing older music you haven't heard. Older people, there's incredible music being made by young people today if you half try to look. Everyone, run up that hill and find it.

[@bigneon_glitter]

Kate Bush going omega-viral with Gen Z and being canonized as global icon in 2022 is one of the few shining rays of hope in a world that seems to be in freefall.

[@harrynac6017]

It was the first thing my sister (58) and I (55) talked about when seeing eachother after a month 😁

[@user-wl2xl5hm7k]

What?? She wasn’t canonized. It was her one song that was overplayed in Stranger Things S4, & after that. I wish you were right, but unfortunately that’s not what happened

[@bigneon_glitter]

@@user-wl2xl5hm7k No, that's precisely what happened. It's in the title of the video. Bush is a retired once popular/current cult icon without a major label deal, relevant primarily to the generation that grew up with her. Then in 2022, she was #1 in 18 countries - a level of enduring power & perpetual relevance generally only achievable by The Beatles or Queen. Kate Bush, cult icon, is now among that canon of rare artists who can endure beyond their time with equal or greater impact.

[@Stowneyo]

@@user-wl2xl5hm7k a quick Google says she has 80% of royalties. Maybe do some research your self doofus.

[@bigneon_glitter]

@@user-wl2xl5hm7k a. No one's referring to intellectual property or the profit of the single. What are you on about? b. Bush owns 100% of the copyright & her masters under her private company. She's the recipient of the publishing profit - but that's not the point - the point is that her status & sales power aren't buoyed by the multimillion backing of a major label or publishing holding. That any artist's relevance & sales power can remain undiminished through the decades on the merit of the music alone is the point. A level rarely achieved among a very small club.

[@ashlybuck5706]

My sister discovered her music in College through her Scottish teacher then I rediscovered her through Stranger Things though I had remembered vaguely the time my sister listened to her beautiful and entrancing music. Running up that Hill(A deal with God) is only one of many amazing works she has created. I am a writer too so anything she creates inspires me.

[@cloudbloom]

The relentless, driving, hypnotic percussion throughout the entire song is what makes this such a compelling track imo. It's tribal and grabs the attention, with such great lyrics and vocals you can't deny how much of a powerful song it is

[@janewright2800]

Loved Kate Bush since Wuthering heights was released and i was 15 years old. Captivated ever since. Her music is the sound scape of my life🎶💚🙏

[@mvellis3863]

RUnning Up That Hill is a great song, but there is a lot more to Kate Bush than that one hit. She has many masterpieces --- from her debut album in 1978 to her latest studio album in 2011 (and there is more to come) - and her 2016 live release "Before The Dawn" is absolutely incredible. There is practically nothing that she does that is not brilliant. Her catalog is rich and deep and her music is always different, compelling, and innovative. A truly artistic and creative genius on the level of David Bowie and Peter Gabriel.

I've always liked "The Big Sky", "The Sensual World", "The Man with the Child in his Eyes" for example - I never understood the exaggerated emphasis on "Running Up that Hill" there are so many great ones...

[@iornman12]

when i graduated highschool in 2014, my mentor, the sound guy for our theater gave me dozens of albums on a USB drive. from Queens Of The Stone age to Marillion, with Spoon and Weezer mixed in. There was one he pointed out, "I got this album when I went off to college, just like you are now. It meant a lot to me then and I hope it helps you like it helped me." It was The Whole Story by Kate Bush. While the standout to me was Cloudbusting in her library, Her music helped me in ways I never thought it could. she's a perfect artist and i love how much attention she's getting.[

[@ANNIHILISTIC]

I first saw the music video on a VH1 80's themed program sometime around 2005. Both the video and song were unlike usual 80's video and even unlike any modern video. It just hit different. Us Kate Bush fans have been saying for years that despite her success and fame she is underrated, because she deserves to be famous on the level of Bowie or Madonna, she is your fav artists fav artist, everyone from Johnny Rotten to Big Boi sing her praises. It pains me how many of my friends knew Florence and the Machine, but not Kate Bush, an obvious influence. So this revival is a wonderful thing, well deserved! I strongly recommend new fans check out some other songs like *Hounds of Love, Big Sky, Cloudbusting, or Be Kind To My Mistakes*

[@danielf3623]

There's also an element of just how perfectly the song slots into the plot there. It really was a masterpiece of scoring a scene using pre-existing pop music. Almost like they chose the song and wrote the plot around it. - Survivor's guilt ("get (God) to swap our places") - simultaneously craving and rejecting connection - literally running up a hill out of a valley of depression

[@naethavenir9422]

It's literally a shrek 2 moment

[@C_Melvyn_James]

It's obvious to tell that she added string sections to create a special version for the producers to use. In other words, she collaborated with them as opposed to just allowing them to use her tune. I know that she would have never allowed others to modify her music without her hands-on involvement. At least I would be shocked if I were mistaken.

[@SamDunham]

I fell in love with this song and Bush's music in general back in the 80s. It's awesome that new people are being exposed to her genius. I only wish she didn't have terrible stage fright. There are a handful of artists I would go to ridiculous lengths to see live. She is at the very top of that list.

[@lorensims4846]

She also won't fly. That's why she's never done an American tour. She's only been over here once in the mid-'70s when she took a ship here and back.

She has been asked about stage fright and denied it, stating that she felt the reason she never performed live was because she preferred to make a [stage play production] out of it, rather than just simply perform the songs.

Ideally, she would have like to make a habit of it but just simply didn't...

[@2bteachable2]

I fell in love with Kate Bush in 1983 when I saw the video for Sat In Your Lap (it was the drums). I had purchased all her other albums by the time Hounds of Love was released. It is almost impossible to describe the feeling of excitement (even nervous excitement) I felt dropping the needle on Hounds of Love for the first time. I was a "what journey are you going to take me on this time?" experience, and what an experience. I am so happy she is finally getting the recognition she deserves. Even though I don't believe that Kate would care, I still have to ask the obvious question: why isn't Kate Bush in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? (There are a million answers, but I wonder if any of them are justifiable.)

[@Purplenpinkk]

She's been nominated three times - the most recent was this year. I would say that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame missed a huge promotional opportunity, with the resurgence of her music, by passing up inducting her this year. For instance, they could have inducted her instead of Carly Simon - I really enjoy Simon's music, but I would say that Kate Bush is a far more unique, creative, innovative musician, artist and songwriter - she is theater. And, one could argue that she was the OG in terms of where artists like Madonna, Lady Gaga, etc. got their aesthetic. To me, she is the female David Bowie. We will see next year.

[@vincijuju]

@@Purplenpinkk I think nominees are voted on by the public. In 2022, she ranked 10 out of 17 nominees (we voted for her every day the polls were open). If nominated again, perhaps this recent resurgence is the push she needs to finally be inducted.

[@Purplenpinkk]

@@vincijuju Actually, the public gets to vote, but it is also up to the RRHOF to determine who gets inducted. They have a few elements they consider to induct. I think the top 5 or so voted on by the public usually get in, but then the committee picks a few from those beyond the five. So, they could have honored her with the induction instead of Carly Simon or Lionel Richie - they didn't make the top 5. I hope she gets in next year.

Kate Bush is such a great artist! I really hope that this new resurgence doesn't end on running up that hill. I'm not saying that other songs from her catalog should go to the top but that young people will go and discover the other songs. I adore Babushka for example. I also hope that the song doesn't gets so overplayed that in a year or two no one can stand it, and with TikTok that's certainly a possibility.

I think everything by Kate Bush is timeless. You can play the albums in any order and you wouldn't really know that wasn't the chronological order unless you already knew. 😉 I think this is one of the reasons I can listen to it at a kid many years ago, and why I recently saw my friends 11 year old son streaming a Kate bush playlist. Yes, Stranger Things introduced people to her, but one show is not the reason they keep coming back IMHO.

[@philipheath3307]

Not quite sure about that. I think you can tell the first album is the first. Her voice deepens and mellows as the albums progress, and the soundscape gets much more complex.

[@TheTimHall]

@@philipheath3307 Sure, production values have changed over the years, but some of this would be less noticeable if you were listening to remastered versions. Some people do "back to basics" releases throughout their career, so even then it could have been a "stylistic choice", if you didn't know different. I'm not sure if she still has the range she had in her youth, but I still feel like they are all timeless.

[@CosmicDuskWolf]

Running up that Hill, has been a amazing song in the goth scene. I haven't seen Stranger Things season 3 yet. Though the first time I heard Running up that Hill for the first time in 2010. A roommate at the time was listening to it on the computer with the speakers on. That's when I started listening to it.

[@swymaj02]

First, great with the magazine. Second, I was in year 10 (11th grade, 14-15) when I first heard of Kate Bush. I read Wuthering Heights for the first time, and a teacher told me that someone did a song and music video based on that. That person was Kate Bush, an 18 year old aspiring dancer who decided to do exactly that (as in sing and dance). That was a profound moment in my life. From then on I heard Babushka, Running Up That Hill, her duet with Peter Gabriel (the music video to that is one to watch), and you get the idea. Living in South London myself (at least an hour away from the district she was born in) it really does instill a sense of belonging, also being a Dutch-born Yorkshirean-Londoner with West African blood in him, so it makes things a lot more simple for me personally.

though it is impressive that she was able to get back into the top ten and then to number one in the UK, it's even more impressive that the song has been in the top ten in the US for over a month now, not only because the US is a much bigger country with more varying tastes. She never really was known here due to her never touring or really being that big on MTV. I expected it to be gone from the charts in a week or two but it seems to have everyone in its trance because it truly is one of the greatest pop songs ever written

Would love to see a breakdown of Dylan’s desolation row

I found Kate Bush after hearing a cover of running up that hill by placebo damn

What’s the rule about “under valued songs”reinterring the charts? Thanks.

[@xerotonin6776]

Placebo version, in my opinion of running up that hill is best

[@gardenboydon]

It seems like Kate Bush's influence on music is now being fully recognized

I found this song when Placebo covered it so many years back, and if you live in the US, PBS used their version to market Ken Burns World War II documentary series.
