“Running Up That Hill (A Deal with God)” is a song by British artist Kate Bush, originally released in 1985 as the lead single from her album Hounds of Love. The track blends art pop and synth-driven production with deeply emotional themes, centering on empathy, misunderstanding, and the desire to trade places with someone else to truly feel their pain. It became one of Kate Bush’s signature songs, showcasing her unique voice and innovative songwriting.

The song experienced a massive resurgence decades later after being prominently featured in season 4 of the Netflix series Stranger Things (2022). Its use in a pivotal storyline transformed “Running Up That Hill” into a new-generation phenomenon, sending it back onto global music charts and introducing Kate Bush to millions of younger listeners. The revival made history, with the song reaching higher chart positions than it ever had during its original release.

Musically, “Running Up That Hill” is driven by a steady, pulsing rhythm, atmospheric synths, and a haunting melodic line that slowly builds emotional intensity. Its hypnotic structure and sense of urgency translate powerfully to piano arrangements, where the repeating patterns and dynamic growth can be emphasized in a more intimate way. Whether heard in its original form or reimagined on piano, the song remains timeless, resonating through its emotional depth and unmistakable atmosphere
