even for someone who has never watched the show, this version is simply epic...

For real !

[@susanner5569]

Omg you should watch the show, it's SERIOUSLY kickass

[@danalynch118]

Watch the show dude. There’s a reason that there’s so much hype

[@kevinilango7896]

omg, literally the exact same situation. I've never watched an episode even though everyone tells me it's amazing, but i came to find this music

[@FantasicYT]

Watched the show largely because of its awesome soundtrack, and it didn't disappoint. I'd recommend!

[@jadenaddams3674]

For me, the part that really gets the chills going is how the orchestra swells to a crescendo, almost drowning out Kate's voice, but you can still hear it, almost like a rallying cry behind the music as Max keeps running. Running up that hill. :)

[@PeriwinkleB]

Your comment made me cry, so beautiful

[@elizabethfoster2141]

I’d give my left kidney just to be able to see this scene for the first time again. It still makes me sob every time but to feel it in full effect…

[@darthdracul8372]

Let’s not go too far, but yeah I agree it is pretty amazing and emotional.

[@jackaylward-williams9064]

A lot of people were insulted by the “skip intro” button popping up during the opening titles, but I find it way more appalling that the “next episode” button pops up when the credits start rolling at the end of “Dear Billy.”

[@abdallahbaloch]

[@TheGreekPianist]

The Duffer Brothers know exactly which music to put together with a scene to make us emotional, euphoric, and bring on the nostalgia. Hits us like a ton of bricks and makes us cry. Beautiful, powerful scene! ❤️

[@Greengun27]

The most powerful of all, this scene and the scene from Everything Everywhere All At Once when Evelyn thinks about all of the moments with her and Waymond made me weep.

The clock sound at 01:53 it's pure perfection

[@Juliyuhh]

The ending of this episode gave me chills I've never experienced before

[@PeriwinkleB]

Exactly the same for me, I’ve never watched a show, and felt every single emotion at the same time… Anger, confusion, happiness, fear, sadness….

[@EternalDeath84503]

“They can’t help you Max, there’s a reason you hide from them”

You don’t know anything about her monster😠

[@sebastianemond5313]

"👿You belong here with me." "😫😤😠You're... not really here!" "😈Oh, but *I am, Max. I am!* "

[@prakashsalunkhe5853]

This gave max a new hope to live And in reality too there are lots of people like max around the world who need to wake up from their darkness and need to live and enjoy life again they should hear this song and remember life is beautiful and sorrows are just part of life and not life.

[@nikhilnaik8314]

Trueee so much true.....

[@Blood_Thirsty_AJ]

I’m one of these people who are like her. But I have my own reasons why.

[@feg3akatrey144]

I believe the intent of your comment is kind/positive, but as a person with bipolar disorder, I can unfortunately attest that one’s ability to overcome the depths of depression is far, FAR more complicated than “…need[ing] to wake up from their darkness…” - and that mental health challenges are very different from the sorrows experienced in life by us all. 😊🙏

[@angelapologist]

Old comment but this is why I got so upset that she ended up living. There was a period of time in my life where I struggled a lot with depression and I made a lot of suicide attempts, and seeing that last scene really reminded me of that time. It reminded me of when I downed a bunch of pills and my mother found me, and I spent the rest of the night lying in her arms while she read Romeo and Juliet to me, crying because I felt so sick and I was afraid to actually die. That scene ‘triggered’ me but in the best, most healing way. And then the show ended up saying « sike » and it ruined that totally personal experience for me lol

[@mr.battle20]

I remember watching this scene with my dad. When it ended, we looked at each other and simultaneously said "holy shit." Truly epic scene, and amazing season.

[@JibbityJenkins]

I have been looking for this version forEVER. This is honestly the best arrangement of this song the series gave us. Just that whole orchestration beat matched with Max running from Vecna's gasp, all those warm memories coming back, the debris falling around her... and then that soft remix at the very end? Pure beauty.

[@somespooks3791]

IKR ITS SO GOOD

[@ur4vityx]

THIS FEELS SO POWERFUL

[@abhisheksalunkhe2297]

There are some remixes which just ruins the original song but there are some which elevates and enhances the beauty of original song And this song is that one brilliant just brilliant.....love the new version of running up that hill

[@M1M1OBAIH]

It's been over a year since I first watched "Dear Billy" and I can‘t stop listening to this.

[@BatmanHQYT]

THIS is the one I've been looking for!

[@trayweathersby7490]

I replayed the scene of that episode just to hear the music and the how they perfectly mixed it.

[@Disappointman-pl6gs]

Also hopper killed a Demogorgon with a fucking sword. That was so cool

[@Disappointman-pl6gs]

Nevermind wrong version, still tho

[@patrickstribling]

My older kid's were trying to get me to watch it for year's, I just binged watched it, s4 e4 was one of my favorites, now I gotta wait to see s5, I'm 52 I was 15 when this song was played, so a lot of nostalgia, great show.

[@PeriwinkleB]

[@SteelTumbleweed]

Thanks for combining it with the credits reprise.

[@Lowkey.trinity]

this song is so special to me because it refresnces that you can escape depression and no matter what you do u can alway "run up that hill" even a year later im typing this because during the following months my brother realized that he wants to live after an attemp of sucide.

A Lament for Chrissy, Fred, Patrick, Eddie and Max (If the Duffers had went there!)

[@ananziii]

Honestly Killing Max would have been a very bad thematic move in my opinion.

[@madcapmakov2]

@@ananziii It wouldn’t really. The season was building up to Max’s sacrifice to actually confront her demons in order for everyone to save Hawkins but ultimately failing. Her fate was inevitable as it plays down to her own mortality. She escaped him once, but it was always gonna get her. It would’ve added more salt to the wound and the Duffers cop out to kill off any main character. Also, what’s letting Max live gonna do: her family life is shit, her body suffered so much damage and she’s potentially blind by Vecna. No soul searching across the UD will fix her.

[@ananziii]

@@madcapmakov2 My main problem is how that would end her arc. Throughout the season she had been feeling that the world is cruel, shes a horrible person who doesnt deserve anything. But during ep 4. we do actually begin to see her change for the better, and learning to rely on others. But in the final episode she does return to her darkness again. And she does try to escape, but when she gets trapped by Vecna again, she doesnt fight back anymore. I really dont think her arc ending with her relaspe is a good choice. It thematically ends with, the world is cruel and give up. It doesnt inspire hope or help them defeat vecna in any way. That actually helps him. If they keep her alive, shes mangaled and blind and needs help to function. That really continues her arc of learning to accept help from others, because now she is more dependent. This could resolve her arc. Plus id rather not end her subject matter the same way lights out did.
