She gave a rare interview to the BBC's Woman's Hour programme yesterday.

'Running Up That Hill' is the surprise hit that no one was expecting in 2022 - least of all Kate Bush.

Yet because of its inclusion in a number of episodes from the new series of 'Stranger Things', the song - originally released in 1985 and taken from Bush's 'Hounds of Love' album -Of course, it is one of Bush's best-known songs but the lyrics have remained a mystery to casual fans over the years. Given its newfound popularity with a younger generation, however, Bush went on BBC's Woman's Hour programme yesterday to give a rare interview and discuss the song and its meaning.

"It's just extraordinary," she said, referring to its recent success."It's such a great series. I thought that the track would get some attention. But I just never imagined that it would be anything like this. It's so exciting. "The Duffer brothers created the series and actually we watched it from the first series onwards, so I was already familiar with the series. And I thought what a lovely way for the song to be used in such a positive way. You know, as a kind of talisman almost really for Max. And yeah, I think it’s very touching, actually.”She was also asked about the song's title, which she revealed was originally called 'A Deal with God'.
