STRANGER THINGS S4: Running Up That Hill - Rachel Hardy (Kate Bush cover)

Hey, I'm back with a Stranger Things cover! One of my patreons suggested I cover "Running Up That Hill" by Kate Bush from the new season (and also... from the 80s, lol) and I quickly fell in love with the song. I had such a good time putting this one together with my own little twist and I am so excited to share it with you. I hope you enjoy! (If you somehow found me amidst the sea of covers of this song, WELCOME to the channel and I hope you stay awhile!)

This song holds profound meaning in the memories of this song. I find myself lost in the wilderness of your voice... alone in the past...with a peaceful smile.
Thanks for this.

It's so touching to see someone doing exactly what they should be doing. What a talent you are

[dello]

I grew up with the original (yes aging myself) and have always loved Kate's version. Too me this is so much more haunting and beautiful. Great job.

After listening to both the original and Colm's version multiple times, this is the first version in which I actually was able to catch the full wording of the lyrics, without gaps where I just made stuff up based on how it sounded

You may or may not read it, but you can't imagine how calming your voice is. I've been listening to it quite a bit lately and I'm blown away how quickly you calm me down on stressful days. May sound odd, but thanks for the cover!

whaou ; very amazing version of this great song !
That's crazy !
I was 13 years old, I loved this song, which I listened to on repeat.
I'm almost 50 years old, and this song is everywhere again : a huge thank you to Stranger Things, this fabulous series, for loving the 80s, the best years of Humanity, and to bring generations together: I watched this series with my 15-year-old son. What a beautiful share !

One of the best covers i ever heard, crystal clear voice but still with a so soft and warm tone! It’s perfect 😍

[lynne]

The dissonance Kate builds into songs is unsettling & soothing at the same time. So mysterious. (I was 25 when I was mesmerized by this song...when it came out. 🙂)

[Ron-Swanson]

Can’t get enough of this cover. Your singing is how I calm myself when my PTSD is bad it’s spellbinding, I find myself transfixed in the sound of your voice.

1:10 I had to watch multiple times to reassure myself that those wisps of dust were not portions of my soul leaving my body, drawn towards heaven by the haunting siren angel's song. I don't know how she manages to make me happy, sad and hopeful but also nostalgic for all I've lost at the same time.

Finally, an actually good cover of it, the sparse arrangement makes it feel intimate and sincere. No unnecessary deviations from the original, yet it sounds like its own version. Big well done.

[Chofiira]

Even better, for the younger generation these days, to have such a great selection of covers, remixes and different genre versions of this beautiful song! ❤️😍💖

[tamarakonczal]

This is absolutely beautiful. I discovered Kate Bush very late (I am 63) though my granddaughter watching Stranger Things. The tenderness of this song is not well understood. You bring pathos to it. If you watch Kate's video, you see the intent. Gorgeous, human heart cry.

[MuscleMuzzy]

Truth Amazing! I can't stop listening to it! It touches my Heart... my Soul with every word and tone your voice hits the Love and Light within my being! I would love to hear you sing live... Sending you, Rachel Hardy Love and Light without ceasing... Always and Forever...

[amazingant]

Rachel, I am a child of the 80s. The crazyness of Kate is the key to this song, I thought ... untill today, but your version goes right into my heard! 🥰 thank you for this special feelings!!

[lindawallace]

One of my favourite Kate Bush songs beautifully reimagined by my favourite singer! I absolutely loved this - you added an achingly melancholy vibe that made it so much more beautiful than the almost defiant tone of the original version. So dreamy and lovely Rachel -

[bobolson]

The 80's live on through wonderful artists like you. The music of the 80's was beautiful, exciting, new and fresh, but is now almost forgotten. Thank you for this beautiful Kate Bush cover.

[IrregularRawr]

The part of the show when this song hits is so emotional I cried like a baby. Somehow I missed that you did a cover of this, but I'm glad to at least be finding it now! You did an amzing job as always!

[stemlera]

I just wanted a Rachel song for working, I started this and caught myself closing my eyes and just give myself to this beautiful voice. Thank you for your mesmerizing work, all your song is a masterpiece with angel voice.

Sometimes YouTube recommendations know exactly what I need to hear /see. This was a really nice soft cover of Kate 's song. I really liked the composition behind this as well. Your voice definitely makes this a song cover to remember
