"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.

Overall Meaning

"Running Up That Hill" is a song by the British musician Kate Bush, released in 1985 as the first single from her album "Hounds of Love". The lyrics appear to be about two people who are in love but have a communication problem. The repetitive lines of "It doesn't hurt me, do you want to feel how it feels?" suggest that one person may be trying to convince the other to open up and share their emotions, while the lines "You don't wanna hurt me, but see how deep the bullet lies" hint at the pain caused by keeping feelings bottled up.

The chorus features the line "If I only could, I'd make a deal with God" which has been interpreted as a desire for the singer to change places with their lover in order to truly understand them. The second verse contains the lines "Is there so much hate for the ones we love? Oh tell me, we both matter, don't we?" which suggest that the communication problem may be a result of insecurities on both sides.

Overall, the song seems to be a plea for better communication and understanding in a relationship, with the repeated line of "It's you and me, it's you and me, won't be unhappy" suggesting that these two people are meant to be together.

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."

@@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).

It is so gratifying to see a whole new generation of people discover Kate Bush. When I was in high school, a friend played me a cassette tape (hey, it was 1978) of her first album, "The Kick Inside". By the time "Hounds of Love" came out, I was a huge fan. As someone on here commented, it's strange that in the 1980s, many considered her songs and videos to be weird, but now, they make perfect sense. Guess that's one definition of being ahead of one's time.
