Kate Bush originally released Running Up That Hill in 1985 as the lead single from her album Hounds of Love, where it became one of her best-known songs. Decades later, the track found a new audience when it was featured prominently in the fourth season of Stranger Things in 2022, tied to the character Max Mayfield. That revival sent it back up the charts and across social media, where short clips became shorthand for emotional, nostalgic and defiant moments in edits, and it remains widely used for that reason.
About this sound
The Kate Bush song Running Up That Hill, revived by Stranger Things, in a short clip perfect for emotional edits, montages and nostalgic TikTok videos.
This clip captures the soaring, synth-driven chorus of Kate Bush's Running Up That Hill, with her distinctive high vocal riding over driving drums and layered keyboards. The melody builds with a tense, hopeful energy that feels both nostalgic and urgent, making a scene feel larger and more emotional in just a few seconds. Listeners often recognise it instantly from its dramatic rise and falling vocal line, which carries a sense of longing and determination. It works as a powerful emotional cue, turning an ordinary moment into something cinematic, reflective or quietly triumphant.
