Kate Bush acknowledged the Stranger Things<\/em>-fueled resurgence of her 1985 hit \u201cRunning Up That Hill\u201d in a rare statement posted on the singer\u2019s website Sunday.<\/p>\n

Without spoiling the fourth season of the Netflix series, the first single from Bush\u2019s Hounds of Love<\/em> album plays a key role in a pivotal scene involving one of the show\u2019s characters. As a result, the track has gone viral, with streams of \u201cRunning Up That Hill\u201d have multiplied by the thousands over the past week<\/a>, and the nearly 40-year-old track suddenly finds itself back on the charts.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou might\u2019ve heard that the first part of the fantastic, gripping new series of\u00a0Stranger Things\u00a0 has recently been released on Netflix,\u201d Bush wrote in a statement on her official website<\/a>. \u201cIt features the song, \u2018Running Up That Hill\u2019\u00a0which is being given a whole new lease of life by the young fans who love the show \u2013 I love it too!\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

She continued, \u201cBecause of this, Running Up That Hill is charting around the world and has entered the UK chart at No. 8. It\u2019s all really exciting! Thanks very much to everyone who has supported the song.\u201d<\/p>\n

Prior to Stranger Things<\/em>\u2019 fourth season, Bush was already a fan of the series, according to <\/a>Variety<\/em>, who spoke to the show\u2019s music supervisors and the song\u2019s publishers about landing \u201cRunning Up That Hill\u201d for the sequence involving the Max character.<\/p>\n

\u201cKate Bush\u2019s lyrics can mean very different things to different people,\u201d music supervisor Nora Felder told Variety<\/em>. \u201cIn the face of Max\u2019s painful isolation and alienation from others, a \u2018deal with god\u2019 could heart-wrenchingly reflect Max\u2019s implicit belief that only a miracle of unlikely understanding and show of support could help her climb the hills of life before her.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cKate Bush is selective when it comes to licensing her music and because of that, we made sure to get script pages and footage for her to review so she could see exactly how the song would be used,\u201d Sony Music Publishing\u2019s Wende Crowley said.<\/p>\n

The first half of Stranger Things<\/em>\u2019 fourth season arrived Memorial Day weekend. \u201cI wait with bated breath for the rest of the series in July,\u201d Bush added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
