Kate Bush, it sounded very 80s, until the Netflix series Stranger things brings it back to life in almost delirious proportions. The title “Running up that hill” has once again become the hit of the moment.

This popular tune necessarily tells you something. It became the hit of the summer. Synths and a voice straight out of the 80s. A song by the English Kate Bush, about a passionate love.

37 years later, a new generation discovers it, thanks to the hit series Stranger things. In its last season, an episode gives it a new lease of life.

And in three months, the whole planet takes up the song on a social network. Three million videos, revisited in all sauces, in all languages. Remixes have even made festival-goers hysterical.

The rearrangement of this 80s hit boosted the career of a young DJ, thanks to a bit of modernity. A musical heritage that young people also appropriate with lightness and humor.
