Running Up That Hill (Extended Version) – Burning The Ground: DjPaulT's 80's and 90's Remixes

Burning The Ground Exclusive 1985

“Running Up That Hill” is a song by English singer-songwriter Kate Bush. It was the first single from her 1985 album Hounds of Love, released in the United Kingdom on 5 August 1985. It was her first 12-inch single. It was the most successful of Bush’s 1980s releases, entering the UK Singles Chart at number 9 and eventually peaking at number 3, her second-highest single peak. The single also had an impact in the United States, providing Bush with her first chart hit there since 1978, where it reached the top 30 on the Billboard Hot 100 and featured prominently in the dance charts. Bush also performed the song live for the first time with David Gilmour of Pink Floyd at the Secret Policeman’s Third Ball in 1987. The song’s title for Hounds of Love and all subsequent releases was “Running Up That Hill (A Deal with God)”.

The B-side of the 7-inch single contains Bush’s song “Under the Ivy”. The 12-inch single contains an extended remix and an instrumental version of “Running Up That Hill”, as well as “Under the Ivy”.

In 2022, the song received renewed attention when it was prominently featured in season 4 of Stranger Things. Its appearance led to the song’s resurgence on charts around the world, entering the top ten for the first time in New Zealand, Canada, and the United States (and becoming Bush’s first top-ten ever in the latter country), and re-entering it in Australia, the UK and Ireland.
