"Netflix’s nostalgia-laden thriller Stranger Things returned last month and
with it came the revival of another classic from the 1980s, Running Up That
Hill
 by Kate Bush. The song plays a prominent part in the narrative connected
to one of the show’s leading teen cast members and is featured in a climatic,
and visually stunning scene that has been making the rounds on the internet.

In a post shared to her website over the weekend, Kate Bush showered praise on
the show and Netflix:

You might’ve heard that the first part of the fantastic, gripping new series
of Stranger Things has recently been released on Netflix… It features the
song, ‘Running Up That Hill’ which is being given a whole new lease of life
by the young fans who love the show – I love it too!"
