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
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

Said, 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

Said, 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)

"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. 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 others place for a while, I think we'd both be very surprised! [Laughs] And I think it would be 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", that 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.

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 in the Hold Steady track, "Hornets! Hornets!"
In 2022, the song was used in an episode of "Stranger Things", resulting in a boost of streams for the song.

Beyond the spectacle, what a fantastic message this is for younger generations watching this show, especially in our day and age... I remember listening to this song when I was struggling with depression and trauma in the 1980s. Now here are my kids telling me how that scene in Stranger Things hit them at the perfect time in their life due to the message it beholds:

Don't look internally when facing your struggles and regrets, look outwards to the people that love, cherish, and care for you - who will give you their time no matter what, as long as it means you can overcome your trauma. Keep moving forward, and defy your demons, regardless of how much they try to get in your way. Fight with the people who love you, because without them, your demons will merely try and crush you as much as they can. Don't feel small, feel big: embrace the people around you. You can only move forward if you have the friends to move forward with you.

I learnt this in the 80s. And the fact kids are learning this today through a popular show, fills me with a level of joy absolutely inconceivable.

When that scene begun, I rolled my eyes in how corny it was coming across. When that scene ended, I was sitting in a puddle of tears. I had my issues with Stranger Things 4, but that scene alone was a symbol of how masterful those creators can be. God bless the Duffer Brothers, and God bless Kate Bush.

To all the kids out there, keep fighting. You're not alone; oh you're so not alone - trust me, and keep running up that hill!

I felt the say way... Kate Bush, Hounds of Love Album really saved my life when I was struggling with depression and low self-esteem.

JG

This is a good message, but you gotta remember that some people simply don’t have that “someone” to help, cherish and motivate them directly. It has to be an internal force at some point.

@JB I guess these're the-words-of-adults for the ages :) I'm sure they said the same back in 80s - about walkman, vhs etc... And there were nostalgic feelings for the 50-60s. In the older days some ones were sceptical even about phone calls considering it's just temporary fun. And so probably the nowadays will be nostalgic for adults of 2040-60s. So appreciate the present ;)

I mean do it all the time cause its just part of our society now but it just looked so much better back then.

Most Americans don’t either. Her music was not 80’s commercial radio mainstream at the time. She is really admired, famous and talked about mostly by Canadians and UK people. A lot of Canadians I met during the last 30 years, always cite Kate Bush to me when it comes to “who is your favorite singer, what music do you listen to, any music you recommend?” - Maybe ahead in advance, I encourage you to check out Kate Bush’s song “Wow”. 🤭

The scene with Max in Stranger Things.... God I cried so hard. It felt like a metaphor for overcoming grief and trauma. You can either fight through it or let it consume you. So so powerful.

Bu şarkıyı ilk defa stranger things'den duydum ve Max'in sahnesini izlerken tüylerim diken diken oldu. Bu şarkı tek kelime ile "şaheser".

Já conhecia antes da série, sempre adorei a Kate Bush, me surpreendendo com o sucesso dela entre a nova geração fã da serie.
Isso prova que os anos 80 foi uma época de músicas atemporais, que até hoje as pessoas escutam, pelo menos eu pretendo continuar assim, as músicas atuais são fracas e feitas pra bombar no Tiktok, uma pena, não tem mais emoção...Raras são as exceções.

@Brad that sounds like her. She’s very protective of her music. Ive loved Kate since I was a child. It’s so wild and amazing to see people listening to her! I’m hoping they listen to Hounds of Love in its entirety. Nothing tops the the Ninth Wave

@Áthila Mattei Kate is actually a fan of the show. Apparently she doesn't usually license her songs for films/tv, and the creators had to detail the how it would work for the scene and why it was important they have it.

The movie Drive led me to the cover by Chromatics, which I'm listening to right now, and is solid. But ho-ly shiat, that Meg Myers cover is POW-ER-FUL. Heard it for first time today. Stranger Things' use of Kate Bush's classic was my favorite part of the whole season. My wife and I were both choked up with hearts pounding through the whole scene. Don't think she's ever heard the song before. Great music lives forever. I'm actually on a Doors trip right now...hmm Hmmm HMMM...beautiful friend.

In Europe, Kate Bush is well-known, but she is eccentric and rarely gives interviews. She has only toured twice in her long career, both times in England (in 1979 and 2014).

I was in high school when this came out and it was one of my favorite songs I am so glad that this generation is able to hear Kate Bush and experience her great works. This song deserved to go #1 in 1985. I can't believe this situation with Stranger Things has propelled this song into the chart again. Amazing. It's never too late for a song.

@br2k I am thinking for myself...I listen to a ton of music. This is a good song. It's #10 on the charts rn. Wheres your music is it on the charts? Probably not😭 if youre incapable of civilized conversation. All you're doing is insulting people for not agreeing with you. Youre a child. Grow up. Ngl with your attitude your music won't get far either. People don't like working with disgusting people.

br2k

@Ferrel Foxx "old style song" means literally nothing. this song is pop with synth elements. there is better music written decades, even generations before and after this song. there were better songs that came out within months of this one across genres innumerable.

as for my taste in music or appreciation for narrative in music, you can make those assumptions but then you'd be just as far behind the bell curve as that other moon-faced dork and the rest of the mouthbreathers.

if you could think for yourself even a little, you'd find that you could ask the question like "what do you prefer or recommend over Kate Bush?" and I could answer.............

Nice to see her getting some long overdue recognition in North America. Those of us lucky enough to have grown up in Europe have been able to experience her music and creativity for over 40 years. I’ve read comparisons to Madonna and Lady Gaga, but Kate Bush has a 100 times more talent than those two put together. She’s a legend.

Sharon Egan

@Canary in a Coal Mine Seeing her sitting behind a piano performing Wuthering Heights on Top of the Pops circa 1978 when I was around 10 years old, is a favourite childhood memory of mine. She was and always will be an original.

I have been a huge fan since 85. I heard this song and it changed my life. She is the most original innovative artist ever. I have turned on so many people to her through the years, I am sure people that knew me in college are thinking of me when they see her name mentioned everywhere now. I think Hounds of Love will end up a top 10 album, and it looks like Running may be number 1 here too.

Remember that you are all part of a history that came before you.
Be it music, be it any form of art or literature, get to know as much as possible about it.

This music has been existing all long for you.

I’ve always love music that tells a story or puts meaningful lyrics into the song, I’ve heard so many of her songs over the year without knowing it. Artists I’ve found made cover of her songs and until stranger things had featured this wonderful track I had never heard of Kate bush and when I listened to hounds of love I realized what’s Great artist she is and how ahead of her time she was. It’s a shame she didn’t tour more and flew under the radar for most people. I’m glad she’s getting the recognition she deserves

This happens when in a successful series that a lot of young people watch, you put a real, quality musical group on it. Instead of putting the crap that is done today. They realize that the 70's, 80's and early 90's were the top of world music

The actual song meaning, is that she wants to switch places of a man and a woman, so that they could understand how different each others lives are and it would lead to a greater understanding of each others feelings, and she wanted to name the song "deal with god" but was told not to...
