"Running Up That Hill (A Deal with God)" was the first single from Kate Bus… Read Full Bio ↴"Running Up That Hill (A Deal with God)" was the first single from Kate Bush's 1985 album Hounds of Love. Written by Bush, it was released as a single in the UK on August 5, 1985, with the album appearing on shelves on September 16, 1985. It was her first 12" single, and her second single to feature gatefold packaging. It was the most successful of Bush's 1980s releases, eventually peaking at the number three position in the UK singles chart, her second-highest single release there. The single also had a great impact in the United States, providing Bush with her first hit to chart since 1978. It reached the top 30 on the Billboard Hot 100 and featured prominently within the Dance Charts.

Originally titled, "A Deal with God", representatives at EMI were hesitant to release the song, as they feared the title could have prevented radio play, especially in the United States. Bush relented and changed the title because her single from her previous release, The Dreaming, had done so poorly in the charts. The executives of EMI initially wanted to release another song, Cloudbusting, as the lead single from the album. Bush successfully convinced them to release "Running Up That Hill" first, citing that it was the first song to be written for the album, and felt that it better represented the broader feel for "Hounds of Love".

The song itself has often been misinterpreted. Kate Bush herself has said, "I was trying to say that, really, a man and a woman, can't understand each other because we are a man and a woman. And if we could actually swap each other's roles, if we could actually be in each other's place for a while, I think we'd both be very surprised! [Laughs] And I think it would lead to a greater understanding. And really the only way I could think it could be done was either... you know, I thought a deal with the devil, you know. And I thought, 'well, no, why not a deal with God!' You know, because in a way it's so much more powerful the whole idea of asking God to make a deal with you. You see, for me, it is still called "Deal With God", which was its title. But we were told that if we kept this title that it wouldn't be played in any of the religious countries, Italy wouldn't play it, France wouldn't play it, and Australia wouldn't play it! Ireland wouldn't play it, and that generally, we might get it blacked purely because it had 'God' in the title."

The song is about a lover that is holding a deep secret hurt from the other lover," How deep the bullet lies ", hating him/her for it at times, wanting desperately for the uninjured party to trade the pain to ( Swap our places) so she/he could be free of it while the other lover experiences it," Hurt the ones we love"
and he/she could "be running up that hill running up that building with no problem"

Musically, the background vocal chants ("e-yo") are almost identical to singing in classical Japanese musical theatre such as Noh, and the prominent drumming pattern appears to be influenced by Japanese taiko.

In May 2022, “Running Up That Hill” surged in popularity following its prominent usage in the Netflix show “Stranger Things”. In the United States, it re-entered the Hot 100 at #8 and later peaked at #3, becoming her first Top 10 in the country. Globally, it reached #1 in various countries including the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Ireland, Belgium and Australia, where it spent 8 weeks at #1, more than any other act in 2022.

References in Movies/Songs:
The song can be heard during the final credits of the 1988 film The Chocolate War.
The song was also used as the theme tune for the 1986 BBC children's drama "Running Scared".
English band Coldplay claims the drum beat of this song inspired their single "Speed of Sound".
The song is referenced by The Hold Steady on "Hornets! Hornets!" and Fiona Apple on “Fetch The Bolt Cutters”.
In 2022, the song was used in an episode of "Stranger Things", resulting in a boost of streams for the song.

Running Up That Hill
Bush Kate Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

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
Ooh, 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, oh

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, oh

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
I'd be running up that road
Be running up that hill
With no problems

So 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)

Overall Meaning

The song "Running up that Hill" by Bush Kate is a powerful anthem about the struggles of relationships. The singer asks her partner if they want to feel how it feels to be in her shoes and understand that the things they do don't hurt her anymore. She talks about a deal she wants to make with God, where they switch places so she can run up a hill or building without any problems, implying that her partner is holding her back or preventing her from reaching her goals.

The chorus repeats her desire to run up that hill and road, but also includes the phrase "with no problems," suggesting that her partner is causing her a great deal of pain and difficulty in reaching her aspirations. In the bridge, she urges her partner to understand that both of them matter and that they shouldn't hate the ones they love. The song ends with a plea for her partner to share her experiences and for her to be able to run up that hill with no problems.

Overall, the song is about the pain and difficulty of relationships, the desire for change and escape, and the importance of mutual understanding and support. It's a lyrical masterpiece that captures the heart and soul of so many people who are struggling with similar issues in their relationships.

If only I were able to do it, I would make the effort

@@ste9281 It tends to be a dual between this & Wuthering Heights. I looked up a dozen or so Kate Bush top hits compilations (which are often quite silly), but those two always were changing places. But those "Best of" lists normally only deal in hit songs. This song is undeniably #1 when it comes to sales. But when you look at all of her albums & releases and you're a big fan, then it's almost impossible to choose a #1 song. It's hard to be objective & choose a best song of hers. There are so many brilliant songs that might qualify. And you're right. It was never overlooked. This album even knocked Madonna off the number 1 spot in the UK. The single reached #3. But, "The Rolling Stone", which used to be really good in the 70s and 80s, is not taken very seriously anymore. They keep changing their top hits based on current listeners & trends. The last one was in 2004 and Running Up That Hill was not on it (nor any other hit of hers).

Bush explained in a 1985 interview: "It's about a relationship between a man and a woman. They love each other very much, and the power of the relationship is something that gets in the way. It creates insecurities. It's saying if the man could be the woman and the woman the man, if they could make a deal with God, to change places, that they'd understand what it's like to be the other person and perhaps it would clear up misunderstandings. You know, all the little problems; there would be no problem."

Some people seem to keep trying to minimize Kate's success - for this one it happens to be the tie-in to 'Stranger Things'. In the summer of 2014, Kate's sold-out "Before the Dawn" 22-night residency at the Hammersmith Apollo caused another resurgence. Eight of Kate's 10 albums reentered the UK Top 40 albums chart. This one event put her in third place behind Elvis and The Beatles. Kate is the gift that keeps on giving - over several decades.

Duffer bros are insanely talented, great writers/directors/creators and they always absolutely nail their music choices, so glad that they gave us stranger things

@blakeb9964

There's an article about how the song was chosen. They didn't actually pick it, some other lady on the production did. But yeah, they approved it.

Yes! Also, it was Nora Felder (music supervisor) who chose it.

@puppetmaster8551

@@blakeb9964 I mean since they have final decision they kinda did pick it too, both the music supervisor and the duffers picked it, Duffers easily couldve just said no if they thought it didn’t fit. The music supervisor on the show is Amazing and the Duffers to a great job always giving the final Ok to songs that fit perfectly with the show

@@zariebyrd3397 Check out Nick Cave. I've adored Nick for years and I feel like there is some crossover in his and Kates lyrics albeit Nick having a bit darker lyrics but very poetic. Stevie Nicks might be worth exploring as well. If you want something more current The National has some amazing stuff.

I don't think I've ever been happier for a song to get to number one in the UK charts. It's long overdue, and richly deserved, and I hope the new generation discovering you listen to your entire back catalogue, because they're in for a hell of a musical ride unlike any other.
