STRANGER THINGS S4: Running Up That Hill - Rachel Hardy (Kate Bush cover)

Hey, I'm back with a Stranger Things cover! One of my patreons suggested I cover "Running Up That Hill" by Kate Bush from the new season (and also... from the 80s, lol) and I quickly fell in love with the song. I had such a good time putting this one together with my own little twist and I am so excited to share it with you. I hope you enjoy! (If you somehow found me amidst the sea of covers of this song, WELCOME to the channel and I hope you stay awhile!)

Beautiful and Mesmerizing Cover!

[@glitchgodworld1208]

We got Samuel Kim approval

[@cielphantomhive72]

The boss is here !!! Congratulation Rachel 😎

[@andreguerrer18367]

WOW!!! you here!!! Amazing :D

[@ColmRMcGuinness]

Both of you stop outdoing me!!!! I need the revenue!

Colm AND Samuel, your covers were so inspiring 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼✨✨

It's so touching to see someone doing exactly what they should be doing. What a talent you are

I lost my younger sister in 2014 when she was 26. "And if I only could...I'd make a deal with God...and I′d get him to swap our places."

❤😘🇯🇲

[@Sharperthanu1]

You will be back with your sister in the next cyclical universe.

[@duncanhaines3826]

So very sorry for your loss, Friend! You’ll be together again someday.

[@kingjoelj]

So sorry for your loss I really wish you an amazing year and wish you prosperity 💙

[@mackenziewatson4471]

I’m so sorry! Can’t imagine what it’s like to loose a sister! If it’s ok to ask, what happened?

[@le_petit_ben_69.07]

whaou ; very amazing version of this great song ! That's crazy ! I was 13 years old, I loved this song, which I listened to on repeat. I'm almost 50 years old, and this song is everywhere again : a huge thank you to Stranger Things, this fabulous series, for loving the 80s, the best years of Humanity, and to bring generations together: I watched this series with my 15-year-old son. What a beautiful share !

[@pardo94]

cheers for that!

[@ktgaming2266]

After listening to both the original and Colm's version multiple times, this is the first version in which I actually was able to catch the full wording of the lyrics, without gaps where I just made stuff up based on how it sounded

[@ryancoker8198]

The Hound and The Fox did a pretty good duet version, as well. Had some neat camera effects too.

@@ktgaming2266 and here, folks, we have the PERfect example of 'no good deed goes unpunished...'. i was TRYing to help since it hadn't seemed to occur to you...

[@ktgaming2266]

@@TheDeastman13 that clearly wasn't a "good deed," as looking up the lyrics had not only already occurred to me, but I had *already done it.* Furthermore, it was *completely irrelevant* as it didn't matter to the point I was making, which was that this particular cover of the song was clear enough that I didn't need to. And as anyone with above a first grade intellect would know how to Google the lyrics to a song, your comment was clearly intended not as a genuine way to help, but as a passive aggressive way to attack me under the guise of "helping"

[@lynne5322]

The dissonance Kate builds into songs is unsettling & soothing at the same time. So mysterious. (I was 25 when I was mesmerized by this song...when it came out. 🙂)

[@stefanassmann7082]

You may or may not read it, but you can't imagine how calming your voice is. I've been listening to it quite a bit lately and I'm blown away how quickly you calm me down on stressful days. May sound odd, but thanks for the cover!

[@piotrbonarski8360]

Finally, an actually good cover of it, the sparse arrangement makes it feel intimate and sincere. No unnecessary deviations from the original, yet it sounds like its own version. Big well done.

[@SykeHD669]

how is this good? it's totally fake and romantic and is not related to the real amazing song

[@RachelHardy]

Thank you so much!! I did want to respect the original while making it a true cover with something new, so I'm very happy that those things came thru.

[@ccsmooth55]

Its definitely an amazing cover. I must say, Kim Petras is very good as well.

[@Neo666233]

One of the best covers i ever heard, crystal clear voice but still with a so soft and warm tone! It’s perfect 😍

[@dello7287]

I grew up with the original (yes aging myself) and have always loved Kate's version. Too me this is so much more haunting and beautiful. Great job.

[@RachelHardy]

Thank you so much!!!

[@CinematicCaptures]

This is beautiful, amazing work!

[@kilortief4142]

hello there

[@Chofiira]

Even better, for the younger generation these days, to have such a great selection of covers, remixes and different genre versions of this beautiful song! ❤️😍💖

[@HZEditsYT]

Literally 30 seconds in... and I'm already mesmerized. Fantastic performance as always Rachel, you've done it again! Hope you're all settled in after your move to the US. Stay healthy and keep up the great work 💙

1:10 I had to watch multiple times to reassure myself that those wisps of dust were not portions of my soul leaving my body, drawn towards heaven by the haunting siren angel's song. I don't know how she manages to make me happy, sad and hopeful but also nostalgic for all I've lost at the same time.

[@Ron-Swanson]

Can’t get enough of this cover. Your singing is how I calm myself when my PTSD is bad it’s spellbinding, I find myself transfixed in the sound of your voice.

[@RachelHardy]

Thank you so much for stopping by. I am glad music can be there when you need it!

[@DhavalShukla]

Sometimes KZbin recommendations know exactly what I need to hear /see. This was a really nice soft cover of Kate 's song. I really liked the composition behind this as well. Your voice definitely makes this a song cover to remember

[@RachelHardy]

Thank you so much!! I’m glad you like the arrangement :)

[@AA-ho5mg]

Yea I like the softness here. Here is another one that is also a soft cover of Kate's song. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5nbdIl5hLqop8U

[@dominichurt8691]

This is probably one of my most favorite covers you have ever done, let alone anyone has ever done on this song. Absolutely beautiful, Rachel. Well done!

[@RachelHardy]

Thank you so much!! I am also so proud of this one

[@amazingant8430]

Rachel, I am a child of the 80s. The crazyness of Kate is the key to this song, I thought ... untill today, but your version goes right into my heard! 🥰 thank you for this special feelings!!

[@lindawallace8582]

One of my favourite Kate Bush songs beautifully reimagined by my favourite singer! I absolutely loved this - you added an achingly melancholy vibe that made it so much more beautiful than the almost defiant tone of the original version. So dreamy and lovely Rachel - BRAVO!!!!!

[@alankdali7871]

And she's BACK! Vocals warming hearts and soothing souls again. A nice pasta salad, chilled glass of wine and this on repeat on Spotify soaking today's stress away. Thanks Rae!

[@RachelHardy]

Welcome back!

[@IrregularRawr]

The part of the show when this song hits is so emotional I cried like a baby. Somehow I missed that you did a cover of this, but I'm glad to at least be finding it now! You did an amzing job as always!

[@Andrew-pr9xv]

I already liked this song. Now I absolutely LOVE this song. Kudos Rachel, you absolute monument of talent.

[@wolfjack14]

Best version of that song I have ever heard. The whole performance brings tears to my eyes no matter how often I replay it. Just pure perfection, well done!

[@Karliene]

Gorgeous. Absolutely gorgeous. The production, the performance, the video. Your silky vocals give me chills. 💜

[@RachelHardy]

Thanks so much Karliene! That means so much coming from you. I love everything you put out!

[@lua_moura]

[@teaguetozier7006]

Wow. I wasn’t sure how you were going to take this and make it your own. But you did such a wonderful job and clearly distinguishing it from any other version. I see other people using the word “mesmerizing” and I think that’s the perfect word for it. I’ve been so excited to see everyone’s covers of this song, and as always, yours was amazing!

This slow version with passion give more time to make a words sinking to mind, let us not only know but also understand the minning of them. I love it. That all plus beautiful mimics and apperance of a singer give a real sadness in my heart and then so much hope behind teers. Unique expierience.
