Pub Choir sings 'Running Up That Hill' (Kate Bush)

[@stopbunsen]

This is the message from Kate: Dear Brisbane Pub Choir, I’ve been so busy that I’ve only just had the chance to watch you all singing RUTH. It’s utterly, utterly wonderful! I love it so much! Thank you everyone. You sing it really beautifully. I’m incredibly touched by your warmth and all your smiling faces. Thank you!” With lots of love, Kate.

[@MarkHyde]

OMG - so cool - Kate Bush is epic!! :)

[@shanelawson5072]

I think she said that, but was really thinking it's utterly, utterly DREADFUL!

[@davidw6305]

Amazing

gave me goosebumps

I was in the crowd. What an awesome night. Left on such a high. Who needs drugs when you can do this. Amazing job getting a group of random peeps to sing such beautiful harmonies. Love your work Astrid in conducting this & everyone else involved. Can’t wait for the next event

[@johnathanjoseph2388]

That most have been so thrilling, and magical. It literally makes me cry just seeing such a large group of ppl all collectively sharing one experience, the fact that a ton of you, completely strangers at that, all are sharing a core memory. The amount of love and harmony that seems too be in that room, gosh, it’s overwhelming. I’m so happy you got to experience this.

[@marlaerwin3610]

So magical! It makes me cry with joy just to watch this - I can’t imagine the high of being there.

[@caros6753]

@@johnathanjoseph2388 yes it was incredible. Imagine how much the world would change with more of these type experiences. Hopefully you can make it along to one. :)

I've watched this three times now and I cried each time. 60 year old man in London who loves this song and now this performance. Long may the pub choir continue

If anyone is sadly suffering from depression please watch this it's better than any prescriptions drugs truly it will make you so much better about yourself ❤❤❤❤❤❤

This is not a pub, this is heaven

[@sophrosolutions]

Maybe this is something we should all start doing everywhere in the world….simply singing together…”singalong get togethers”, more smiles, more joy, more fun, less violence…

[@Esteban-qp2cf]

So church

[@garyhunter4024]

I've played and replayed this. Maybe 50 times. Conservative estimate. Constant repetition has put it at the top of my KZbin music playlist. Magic night. To have to live it vicariously is my regret. I feel like I know these people. If pressed, I might confess to maybe 26 crushes. Conservative estimate. Thanks to Kate Bush for a timeless song. Thanks to Astrid Jorgensen for an incredible interpretation. Thanks to the Fortitude Music Hall Pub Choir for a wonderfully heartfelt, charismatic performance. Thanks to the singer at 3:17 for the expressive Rah. Thanks to Sleepy Mountain Films for capturing the magic

[@laoemusic]

It feels like the whole world is singing this song nowadays. It feels like a beacon of light at the end of the tunnel. I remember when I first discovered her and this song specifically, I felt like I had been saved from the darkest time in my life. It fills my heart with immense joy seeing this. God… love you Kate 💗

[@ozoftheday]

Yes.. :)

[@sarthaksahu4399]

The instant fame is due to Stranger Things

[@Partybase1610]

May be it is. Maybe this is a bridge.

[@LittleJohnnyPaper]

This gave me goosebumps. All these people coming together to sing this timeless classic is so inspiring and beautiful. We world is in desperate need of more moments like this. Thank you for the joy you have given us today!

[@veronikahancko7991]

Oh, my... this is unbelievable. I've never seen so many beautiful people in one place. This felt like from another dimension. Just left me speechless

[@doctordryan]

Yes Australia! 🇦🇺

[@jacktrainer4387]

These are my people! I've never been to Australia, but if I get a chance, this is the first place I'm going! Plus, I think this song now has the best viola part ever written.

[@lamsmiley1944]

There’s another great Australian cover by the band The Wombats on like a version (part of a radio show) that’s worth listening to.

[@hairmetal2]

WOW, this is like the greatest thing in seen in the last 20 years , shows what we as people can do when we dont have others trying to split us up into groups by color ,sexes ,and life styles . IF ONLY WE GOT ALONG LIKE THE ONES HERE. think how better of a people WE COULD AND WOULD BE.. get rid of the ones pushing us APART.

[@kevinsloane4974]

There needs to be a LOT MORE of this in the world today! So beautiful.

[@johnking396]

Rock Choir in the Uk. There will be 15,500 of us filling the NEC in Birmingham in December singing our hearts out.

[@ashb3117]

Anyone else here after hearing Astrid on Conversations on RN? Fantastic to hear the story behind this.

[@katvn2610]

Can’t we sing this song with the whole world. It would be a better place.

[@realWILLYpriv]

Amazing! Among the destruction, wars, poverty, global warming, all the hate and eveil of that world, the spark is being ignited... All because, old forgotten song of my childhood, which emerged with triumph for all young and old watching Stranger Things. Kate Bush won a ticket on lottery - YT and social media are flooded with lots of gigs and performances by many different artists and amateurs. And it is great! And I am so happy that Public Choir is among them. It is great, original approach. Well done! It is fantastic to live now and witness such glorious moments! ❤

[@eyelidman09]

Quite emotional watching so many generations singing and loving this song which has been a lifelong favourite of mine. Just wonderful. Thank you from 🇬🇧 xx

[@JennyMorash]

I love it!!! And I so hope Kate Bush sees this. I've loved her since... well, since this song, actually. I'm so damned happy to see it in the awareness of new generations. It meant a lot to me as a kid. It means even more to me now, as an adult.

[@scottprice5379]

SHE SAW IT !!!!!!!!!!!

[@kateijsland1245]

I am a big Kate Bush fan and i loved it. Wish i was there ❤

[@jeffmartin-g8r]

Seeing people so happy to be celebrating Kate packs such an emotional WALLOP! Thank you so much!

[@rachelm1816]

The joy on all their faces is just beautiful 🤩

[@sophiamilas6259]

Wow. What a powerful score. 🎶 I am blown away to tears. It's feels like Kate Bush wrote this song for the very moment Max ran up that hill to save herself with the help of her friends. Look at what the impact of that scene paired with this song brought about! Amazing. ♨️✨

[@johnhastings8694]

People CAN be good. Thank you.

[@nathancooper1]

Brisbane killing it. Well done to all involved. Uplifting! 🙌🏼

[@SirThomasDunning]

I’m bawling at how beautiful and powerful this is…what a moment! Well done to everyone and big thanks to Kate for birthing this incredible song!

[@marmaladefille1]

I loved the addition of that "roar." A little Florence + The Machine touch. Nice job, Pub Choir! It looked like you had fun!

[@Ramp4Paws]

Please, please, please, tour. In each venue, collect a local orchestra. Two songs, intermission, two songs, intermission, one song, this as encore.

[@adrienneweare5386]

I’m aware that no one says this anymore but this was epic.

[@audric3rd]

I think I'd be crying there instead of singing. Chilllls :')

[@misssunnydee]

Kate Bush, and particularly this song, is certainly youth sentiment for me. Seeing all those smiling faces singing together, just for the fun of it, is amazing. I used to be in the school choir in secondary school in the early 90s. It was fun to do for 2 or 3 years, but one of the reasons I quit was that our teacher and choir leader chose very old-fashioned music. The 'coolest' thing in the concerts was music from hís youth (The Beatles e.a) or an Elton John ballad. We actually asked for both Wuthering Heights - since the song was used during our English Lit classes - and Running up that Hill, after all most of us loved that song still back then & it has the potential for nice harmonies. I already knew back then I could forget about the chance to ever include Metallica, but that too Stranger Things fixed for me 🫡🤗🤘. I'm happy to see both have gotten new life. If it was up to me, more great 80s music would get a reprise/revival like Bush's song, whether through new covers, the original being replayed, or cute renditions like this. Well done, Brisbane.

[@nellies]

This is so beautiful, I'm so glad Kate saw this. I bet she cried, I know I would if I was her. So powerful❤

[@ebayrabbit]

Wow. This literally brought tears to my eyes and lump in my throat when you all clapped and cheered at the end. So emotive! Beautiful

How is this for synchronicity or mental telepathy? I was reading about this in yesterday's Friday, July 15 'The (Melbourne) Age' newspaper, page 15, today -' Kate Bush stuns choir from over the hill and far away', with a photo, by Cameron Atfield. I got up, turned on the computer to You Tube and there you all were exactly as in the photo. Wow! You all made my heart sing. What a beautiful blessing of loving goodwill you have given to Kate Bush and the world. Thank-you so much. It makes me proud to be an Aussie.

If you enjoyed this video or think this project is cool, and you’re not a musician, please speak up for the arts whenever you can. Speak up when people disparage what we do, vote against budget cuts that hurt the arts, and support/get involved with local organizations in your community!! Next time anyone tells me the arts are pointless or that my degree in music is pointless, I’m gonna point to this video. This is why I do what I do. (Also, mad props to this director. That they sound so good is a testament to her arranging/conducting/teaching abilities)
