In 1985, English singer-songwriter Kate Bush released a song called “Running Up That Hill.” It did pretty well — reaching No. 30 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US.
But 37 years after its release, the tune — featured in last week’s episode of Netflix’s “Stranger Things” — bumped Harry Styles’ “As It Was” to No. 2 on the US Billboard Top 10.
The unexpected success also makes her both the oldest and the youngest woman to have a self-written No. 1 in the United Kingdom, Billboard reported.

“So” was the very first CD I bought when I got my first CD player around 1985.
I still have a 12” single of “Red Rain” and it still gets me every time a play it.
GREAT song! And it brings back good memories for me.
“Last week’s episode”?! Um the half a season dropped a month ago. Do they not employ anybody under the age of 70 at the Post?

Peter Gabriel with Paula Cole doing Don’t Give Up - live. She does it in a different style but has an awesome voice. Good looking too. Gabriel nails his part.
Only live version I could find with Peter and Take was recorded on a cell phone by someone in the audience, audio only and bad quality.
There’s a clip of Kate and Peter covering Roy Harper’s “Another Day”.
Very nice. Thanks
I remember it from She’s Having a Baby. It was perfect for that scene.

Wait a minute! Is your ‘real’ name, Phillip? Did I go to that concert with you in the mid-70’s? Did you drive a hot little car, bright red, convertible? I don’t remember the model.
Did you call a week later and my Mom said, ‘She’s not home?’
If so, Sorry! ;)
No, not it was not me. Alas poor Phillip will not know the truth but at least he can look back and remember a good concert in good company.
bump for later
