In 1978, aged 19, she topped the UK Singles Chart for four weeks with her debut single "Wuthering Heights", becoming the first female artist to achieve a UK number one with a self-written song. Bush has since released 25 UK Top 40 singles, including the Top 10 hits "The Man with the Child in His Eyes", "Babooshka", "Running Up That Hill (A Deal with God)" Read Full BioCatherine Bush, professionally known as Kate Bush, is an English singer, songwriter, musician, dancer and record producer. In 1978, aged 19, she topped the UK Singles Chart for four weeks with her debut single "Wuthering Heights", becoming the first female artist to achieve a UK number one with a self-written song. Bush has since released 25 UK Top 40 singles, including the Top 10 hits "The Man with the Child in His Eyes", "Babooshka", "Running Up That Hill (A Deal with God)", "Don't Give Up" (a duet with Peter Gabriel) and "King of the Mountain". All 10 of her studio albums reached the UK Top 10, including the UK number one albums Never for Ever (1980), Hounds of Love (1985) and the compilation The Whole Story (1986). She was the first British solo female artist to top the UK album charts and the first female artist to enter the album chart at number one.

Bush began writing songs at 11. She was signed to EMI Records after Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour helped produce a demo tape. Her debut album, The Kick Inside, was released in 1978. Bush slowly gained artistic independence in album production and has produced all her studio albums since The Dreaming (1982). She took a hiatus between her seventh and eighth albums, The Red Shoes (1993) and Aerial (2005). Bush drew attention again in 2014 with her concert residency Before the Dawn, her first shows since 1979's The Tour of Life.

The TV series "Stranger Things" used Bush's "Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)" in Season 4. As a result of the resurgence of interest, in 2022 the song reached #1 on the UK charts, 37 years after its initial release, and generated 100s of millions of streams.

Bush's eclectic and experimental musical style, unconventional lyrics, performances, and literary themes have influenced a diverse range of artists. She has been nominated for 13 British Phonographic Industry accolades, winning for Best British Female Artist in 1987, and has been nominated for three Grammy Awards. In 2002, Bush was recognised with an Ivor Novello Award for Outstanding Contribution to British Music. Bush was appointed a CBE in the 2013 New Year Honours for services to music. She was nominated three times for induction in the 2018, 2021 and 2022 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Running Up That Hill
Kate Bush Lyrics

It doesn't hurt me
Do you want to feel how it feels?
Do you want to know, know that it doesn't hurt me?
Do you want to hear about the deal that I'm making?
You, it's you and me

And if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get Him to swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
Be running up that building
See if I only could, oh

You don't want to hurt me
But see how deep the bullet lies
Unaware I'm tearing you asunder
Oh, there is thunder in our hearts

Is there so much hate for the ones we love?
Tell me, we both matter, don't we?
You, it's you and me
It's you and me, won't be unhappy

And if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get Him to swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
Be running up that building
Say, if I only could, ooh

You
It's you and me
It's you and me, won't be unhappy

Oh come on, baby
Oh come on, darling
Let me steal this moment from you now
Oh come on, angel
Come on, come on, darling
Let's exchange the experience, ooh

And if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get Him to swap our places
I'd be running up that road
Be running up that hill
With no problems

Say, if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get Him to swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
With no problems

Say, if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get Him to swap our places
I'd be running up that road
Be running up that hill
With no problems

Say, if I only could
I'd be running up that hill
With no problems

(If I only could, I'd be running up that hill)
(If I only could, I'd be running up that hill)

@Antoine Renaudeau You got it wrong, it is a project until 2030 and beyond so depopulation will happened as planned, slowly and TARGETED . As you maybe noticed they are now talking about smart 15 - 20 km neighbourhoods with restricted movements outside them which in future will be more and more limited. "Climate change" will soon ( if not already) become excuse for more restrictions, official main cause of deaths and an exuse for every new oppressive measure.
To be honest Bill , Klaus and friends are right that this current population is unstainable ( with consumer system THEY created) and world's two main problems ( which they hardly ever discuss) are pollution and diminishing resources.
Why are they not talking about pollution (air, soil, water) which in 2019 reached highest levels in history. Because Wuhan area was 40 times more polluted than dirty New York and Milan area was most polluted in Europe. And where so called Cov19 started and had first and biggest impact?
So maybe something else was a killer not a some "virus" ( which anyway never in history managed to make anyone sick but on other hand something like poisoning always succeeded with respiratory collapse as final result).
In early 90s "scientists" predicted that oil will run out around 2030s. What if this is approximately true date?
Instead they pushing their smokescreens called "climate change" (previously global warming) and CO2 targets.
Couple hours of research is enough to see that both are just product of paid science to suit their agenda.
You are apsolutely right , that living in fear is definitely bad for anyone, that's why is pushed constantly on TV.
I am not in fear ( not wearing mask or sanitising my hands or any idiotic measures in 2020, 2021 except when could not avoid in prison called Melbourne and still alive even with years of living as "immunocompromised") but I could clearly see where is society going and there is nothing human there.
Hope that they will manage to reprogram brains of my kids to " have nothing and be happy" because at the moment when they have nothing they are not really happy.
Good luck for all of us.

“If I only could I’d make a deal with god and I’d get him to swap our places” Can’t help but tear up. My mom passed away last week and she loved this song so much. I’d do anything to have her back.

The Most Unique Female Artist Ever? | Kate Bush Under Review | Amplified - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jaZOFFddng / kate bush started 1978 as mentioned in the first part of the video footage wuthering heights 2 years before the 80`s. i`ve listened to music from the 50`s to the present day many different genre`s, rock,alternative,blues,reggae,ska,2-tone,metal,grunge,folk,indie,britpop,soul,punk, even some country music for instance johnny cash , dolly parton. i fancied kate during 1978-80 and saw her peform live very first gig uk concert on 2nd apr 1979 the tour of life . i was born the year before kate bush and the video takes me back to the 70`s completely mesmerised by kate`s live gig must have been sat within 15-20 metres of her on stage. mind you on the other spectrum i`ve seen Motorhead Live early 80`s completely different genre , they started 1975 , before that Hawkwind (same lead singer,guitarist Lemmy) here`s a track Ace of Spades https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mbvWn1EY6g and to finish brief comedy clip Kenny Everett interviews Kate Bush https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gF8ep4JIg98 .

obviously. In case you don't know, it's the 80s in the serie Stranger Things, so they had to choose a song from the 80s. And thanks to the serie, the song became popular

I first heard this song in 1985 at age 17. Nobody in my H.S. had heard of Kate Bush, let alone appreciated her talent when I popped my tape into my car. Now my 14 year old daughter is a fan. Way overdue.....and many of her songs resonate so deeply with my life I feel as if I know her personally. What a tremendous talent..

Absolutely amazing artist!! I remember seeing Kate Bush being interviewed on TV way back in the 80s, she came across as one of the most shy people I have ever seen.

I totally forgot this song existed until I was just recently binge watching Stranger Things. The show is especially sentimental to me because Hawkins Middle School and High School are literally the High School I went to from 1984 - 1988. It was Stockbridge High School in Stockbridge Georgia and yes, they were the Tigers. Seeing that and hearing music like this song really took me back. Unfortunately they are starting to knock the old school down in order to build a new one. We had an alumni reunion just this past September to see it one last time. I got a brick from it for me and one for one of my daughters friends who is a huge Stranger Things fan.

I was a child of the 80's and always loved this song but Stranger Things used it so well (seriously turned Max from "that new character I never connected with" to "my favourite of the group"). It just is also so amazing that it has hit the charts again so hard after so long, and I am thrilled to see young people discovering it (and others, thanks to shows like ST) for the first time.

@Sa Ba I'm Australian. We had the same issues of taxation without representation before 1854. Only land owners or people of substance were permitted to be members of parliament. Fortunately we didn't have to resort to drastic measures of the same scale as America. I'm still proud of my Brit heritage though. Blood is thicker than water.

It wasn't ahead of its time. It was a hit when it came out and it sounds like a 80's song. To be ahead of its time then it means it doesn't sound like the present music and doesn't become a hit until years after its released.

Nikolai Schuehly

32w

@Sarah Lee To say that something is ahead of its time is always indicating that the current time catched up to it. But 80s pop is far superior overall to current pop. I would rather say that this is just another good song which could be produced within the creative ecosystem that was the pop music of the 80s.

Sarah Lee

32w↑2

I know this is a very old song but I do think it was ahead of its time. She was so different from anyone else at that time. And she remains and original. Originality is lacking entertainment— case in point all the blockbuster movies that are either re-boots or franchises.

@Blueskies that’s fair enough although I’m not from the uk myself. But her songs often feature in almost all of the singing reality shows in the states and internationally. Particularly running up that hill. So it’s not like she is unknown treasure that the 80s didn’t recognize which is what is being implied. She was a hugely successful and respected artist in her prime and still receives massive airplay.

zimzimzalabim

34w↑1

@Blueskies totally but the alternative market and radio loved her for a long time. Being mainstream is relative in a large market like US. She has influenced the work of many, including bigger artists have name dropped her. She's well known in the artists' circle. Proof of it is that she's been nominated for the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame 3 times already. I think the 4th time will be a charm.
