- Thanks to 'Stranger Things,' Kate Bush and hit '80s songs, such as 'Running Up That Hill,' are back on the music charts! ET is looking back at an interview with the singer from 1985, where she opened up about her album, 'Hounds of Love.' As someone who broke onto the scene when she was young -- and around the same age of the Netflix sci-fi drama's teenage ensemble -- Kate explained why music can be so important to kids. She also discussed making the music video for 'Cloudbusting' and working with Donald Sutherland.

• NEW From Entertainment...
I “discovered” Kate Bush as a 15 year old nearly 30 years ago. Last week, my 13 year old asked me if I had ever heard “Running up That Hill” because she loved it after hearing it in “Stranger Things”. How cool is it when you and your child can relate as teenagers?
It's really touching, indeed.
???? who cares ?????
Have to laugh!!! Same thing happened to me! Additionally my kid came around with "Psycho Killer" from Talking Heads (Also from Stranger Things) 😀
@@tiagomartinsdeoliveira978 non-cynical people care
@@mak56581 ???WHO CARES???
Don’t sleep on the fact she produces her own music
She wrote, composed, produced and played the piano and keyboards 😉
well Dave Gilmour produced her initially after discovering her.
@@mynameismark25 Andrew Powell too
I don't know why David Gilmour has to get brought up all the time. Yes, he 'discovered' her and massively helped with her first album but she was always very much in control of her work and from Never Forever onwards Kate was producing. It's like some people can't bear giving her full credit and have to imply she wouldn't have been able to do it without him. Ugh.
Wait for real ?? What a goddess
Her speaking voice is just magical. Just like her singing, of course.
There's a whole county of those magical accents back in southern England
Just like Blossom Dearie
Pffft as a brit I felt the opposite. I was really surprised by how common and homey her accent is
@@donglegs I’m not a brit, but it’s southern, isn’t it? I was mostly talking about the tone of her voice. It’s very sweet
Just don't ask her to make tea.
Americans are finally catching up to Kate Bush. In Europe she’s a legend like Madonna. I fell in love with Kate about 16 years ago and have been listening to her music ever since. She is a fabulous queen and I’m glad more people are beginning to appreciate her here.
I have been in love with her since the 80s... I guess I was one of the rare ones.
She has more class than madonna
@@runninrebel1520 more everything!
@@runninrebel1520
I second that emotion! Madonna could only wish she was as poetic as Kate! I used say I wish Madonna would play an instrument 🙄 Then years ago she was on stage playing the guitar, but you could tell she was juuust learning bc new guitar players wrists are stiff and hers was super stiff. I don’t dislike Madonna I just like real and true artistry and I don’t feel she’s on the same playing field as Kate.
Some of us have been fans since the 80’s. A lot of my friends listened to her actually
I am so happy she got a revival, her music is magical. In the 80' I was pure heavy metal, with one exception, Kate Bush.
Not the first time that I read a comment from someone who loved heavy metal and Kate 😉
Enya in the 90s was just as good
cronos from Venom is a massive fan
@@eon14873 Cronos has the best taste😊
@@beathusk1018 I'm another one. I've been a hard rock/ blues rock and metal fan since 1970. Bought Black Sabbath's first albums when I was 15 back then. I've got every one of Kate's releases. Including "Before The Dawn" live 2014. For me, there's just something irresistible about her.
She DESERVES all the recognition and awards! Kate's been slept on by the music "big wigs" in America for so long! All because she doesn't want to tour and likes putting out more meaningful music than cash cow stuff!
Bjork and Tori Amos have a degree of Fame. This woman, i dont know her or her music. There is another girl called PJ HARVEY, no idea who that is.
@@eduardochavacano But now you do after Stranger Things and now you can learn what you missed. Kate is a frikkin legend. Elton John tells that he had a birthday party with 500 people in the 2000s and all anyone there wanted to know was where was Kate Bush. She changed music and female stage performances. You have Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift thanks to what Kate Bush did in the 70's
I knew who Kate Bush was before the Stranger Things boom - never followed her discography and WOW. Lady is undeniably talented and unique. She paved the way for many.
@@624radicalham That's when Elton John got married to his boyfriend. There was actually about 600 and everybody wanted to meet Kate. He had to parade her all around the room.
@@dougxvale She's explored so many different genres it's beyond ridiculous AND she excels at all of them . Rock, Pop, Synth Pop, English/Irish folk, Piano Ballads, Experimental Punk Pop, Prog Rock. Even Hard Rock. I'm a hard rock fan and I love it when she cuts loose. So intense.
I was 8 when Wuthering Heights first reached number 1 here in the UK, and now my little granddaughter is listening to Kate Bush!
I really love that she’s open about not feeling confident on stage, and just doing her best to pretend to be confident until she is. That’s so inspiring for people struggling to find that confidence.
I'm a teenager and I discovered Kate Bush a few years ago while I was reading "Wuthering heights" for fun. For whatever reason, I was searching for a review of the book on youtube in the midst of reading it, and I accidentally stumbled across the song Wuthering heights! I was instantly drawn to the magical and unique sound of her music and voice, but I couldn't find anyone else my age who really knew about her. She became my favourite artist for a long time, and finally there are people my age who've found her music, which just makes me incredibly happy!!
Everyone should hear WH first. It's only proper! Bravo to you
Yes start right at the beginning with The Kick Inside! You will be marvelled 😁
@@Heliweli yes, that album is a true gem
Same omg
I have been a Kate Bush fan like forever. But what is amazing is that her music has come full circle to a younger audience. And what is funny is that people couldn't grasp her music in the 70s and 80s and 90s and in 2000. Yet the generation today is reacting the same when she first came out. They either love her or can't find a connection with her.
@Paddy Noble. That's how it is when you're ahead of your time.
It also helps that 80's sounding songs become so popular in the 2020's.
I discovered Kate Bush's music like 2 years ago when I was revisitting Bjork's music (Bjork's music was pretty popular when I was a kid, but since I was too little to understand, I decided to listen to her masterpieces as a full-grown adult), and then my spotify automatically played this beautiful music, with inviting high notes, cooperated by slow, somewhat haunting but still beautiful music, and then I found out who the singer is, it's Kate Bush with her song Wuthering Heights. And I was also surprised to find out that it was released on the late 70s, because I thought it came out in like the 80s or smth. I'm so glad as someone who's in a way different generation, I got to discover her music, and was SOOOO happy when I get to know that Running Up That Hill is going to be one of the highlighted plot point to my favorite series too!
It's a nostalgic show that hearkens back to the 80's.
No they don’t like her, the idea of it being apart of stranger things is the ONLY reason they like this song and the only 80s song they got in their playlist. They’re just bandwagoning everyone else because of stranger things👎🏼
To those who discovered her from stranger things. From someone who knew her before, IM SO GLAD YOU'RE FINALLY HERE!!!! Her music is amazing! I'd reccomend checking more of her songs out! Welcome to the world of Kate Bush! She's getting so much appreciation now and it makes me happy
Kate and her music saved my life so many times. I have been lucky enough to attend her last concert in 2014 and I cried during the first 40 minutes. She is the best artist Britain has ever produced.
one of the best, dont forget about freddy mercury, elton john they all made the 80s and some others!
I was there an feel the same!
Did Vecna almost kill you too?
I was there too! All the way from Australia. I managed to see the show twice. She was phenomenal.
I love how her song is coming full circle... & found it's way in a big way. I remember when it first came out. Her voice is so soothing & works well in a storyline & propels characters to strive for more in life.
@The Amber Heard Playlist!! This comment aged terribly. Depp won and proved ambers a psycho narc b1tch.
I've obsessively loved Kate Bush's music for 40 years. Americans have ALWAYS loved her. The line outside NY Tower Records on 4th & Broadway for the Red Shoes release was blocks long. I stood on it. She left many NY'ers standing there. Very rare traveling for her. We knew it was never going to happen again. But I'll never stop loving her music!
i remember being SO JEALOUS of yall back in NYC who were fortunate to have her appear for that release…but i finally had my chance when i went to see “Before the Dawn” in London in ‘14
@@hahah9650 You were lucky to make that! That's awesome!
Me too❤️❤️
I’m glad Stranger Things have introduced us to her! Her voice sounds great and she talks so thoughtful and emotionally about the influence of music. I think we need more artist like her who actually care about the messages and art their music brings to the world. I will definitely be checking out her other works!
I suggest you to listen to all her albums in chronological order 😉
@@beathusk1018 I will!!! I’m already loving Wundering Heights and Cloudbusting so much!!!
@@arbsan8366 You won't regret it! 😉
@@beathusk1018 and I’m loving Babooshka too!!
@@arbsan8366 You will become a Kate fan 😊
The 80s had such an incredible sound to music. I miss when a new song would come out that was cutting-edge and it would just give you a little anxiety from the excitement because you never wanted it to end. It was just a world-changing experience. In 4 decades I have not experienced that same Euphoria from a new song that came out.
What an amazing artist Kate is. She was so refreshingly different when she first came on the scene with her incredible voice & songs. Running up that Hill is one of my all time fave tracks & great that today’s younger audience is finding the joy of Kate Bush!
She's a life yet??
Running up that Hill is still #1 on iTunes!!! June 20, 2022
Her voice, face, and everything in her is just a poem & magic.
Shes so sweet and so talented and smart. And speaks with confidence. So respectful. One of the greatest musicians and singers of the 80s and 90s.
I mean that song is epic and its great that younger kids get to experience Kate Bush! And Hopefully she is coming on tour - I would so love to see her on stage!!
A creature of immense sincerity. And that is amplified through her creations. She should rule the world.
I had my mum of 79 years old come and stay with me for 6 weeks. I put Stranger Things on TV for her and she watched the whole 4 seasons. What I loved was the fact she said to me “Kate Bush’s music is amazing, I haven’t heard Kate Bush for years”! Loved Kate Bush back in the 80’s and so pleased she is getting noticed now. 👍🏻❤️
What a lovely story you've shared.
I've loved Kate since 2016 when my parents introduced me to her music. I love that she's getting recognition in my generation now!
I have a big fan of this exceptional angel since the 80s and to this very day. It is so awesome that this generation is listening to her music as well as the greatest decade of all-time, the 80s. #fan4life.
Beautifully stated. She is the real deal. Her music will never die.
*Thanks to stranger things, this song has sky rocketed*
I'd like to salute all the people who knew this song before Stranger Things, you're awesome.
I remember seeing Kate Bush on SNL in 1978 when Eric Idol hosted!. I distinctly remember the song THEM HEAVY PEOPLE (and a Man with a Child in his eyes) I was like OOOO who is this (I was 10) and didn't rediscover her until a few years later.. probably 82? maybe? 81?
Well she's right! I was 7 years old, that was when Running Up That Hill came out and I saw the video - I was mesmerized by the song and the choreography. Since then KB has been a constant in my life. I'm pleased that younger generations have discovered her now and I hope she connects with them as she did with many of us in the 70s and 80s.
She's is an icon. So humble and wildly talented. Thank you Kate Bush for your wonderful gifts. I love you.
been listening to her literally since i was 0. My mum used to play wuthering heights all the time when i was younger and its still my favorite song. Hearing her distinctive voice in stranger things was amazing
Thank you so much for posting this so that people actually get to know Kate. I love her so much, I don't know who I'd be without her music. I've never seen this interview before!❤
I know.. I feel that way too! I have been in love with her music since the early 1980s.... I even won a Rock over London radio show contest that asked the Question about Wuthering Heights.
SO HAPPY THE US IS FINALLY NOTICING HER!!! To her fans, she is absolutely BELOVED. I hope people buy her albums they are great.
They should have noticed her since her beginning in 1978. All her albums are amazing
I am from México. And as many people of the Generation X; I knew her músic in my teenagehood. Through a couple of rock radio stations in an era in wich alternative rock options were grow up as ourselves. Kate Bush was part of that change. What a great moment to be a teenager! I 'm glad to younger people are rediscovering her. 😊💓
The fact she is talking about people getting fanatic proves that her song would in the future FANATIC
She's ahead of her time
I fell for Kate Bush'susic during the lockdown. I always wondered why Americam audiences never really caught on in a big way. I'm glad she's finally getting a taste of it over here. She's an incredible musician.
I came across Kate Bush’s song “Running Up The Hill” by accident late last year, and I haven’t stopped listening to her song since. It is a true bop, and I love it! I fell for her music in the same way I fell for Ultravox and Visage throughout the pandemic and I haven’t looked back. I have to say, that aside from the USA, the UK has had the best in 80’s music, hands down!
Kate Bush finally getting the recognition she deserves. Nice.
A new generation of fans for Kate Bush. This song was way ahead of its time. Thank you Stranger Things for blessing our playlists.
Kate comes across as a very sincere and thoughtful person, with a grace and refinement sadly lacking in a lot of entertainers today.
John THE BIMMER MAN She's an old soul and nobody's fool. Her brother once submitted some of her poetry to a magazine. The editor said "If she changes this and that, we'll publish it". Kate said "If they don't like it as it is, I don't want my poems in their magazine". She was eleven years old.
Most of the songs off her first two albums were penned between the ages of 13 and 15. One of them "Man With The Child In His Eyes" was her 2nd single. Recorded at 16 years of age. A genuinely beautiful woman, inside and out..... and from a very young age, a genius to boot.
@@warrenbridges1891 that sounds like who/what Aurora is to Gen Z.
@@zsoltsandor3814 Yes. I once watched a few clips (can't remember the titles). Another talented youngster. (anyone under 45 is a youngster to me now ) LOL. Just went onto the old age pension.
She's a talented lady and a class act all the way.
Her sweetness,intergrity,intelligence,and genuine nature make her ethereal and yet so very human and vulnerable- that's what I got from her music when I first heard The Dreaming and The Hounds of Love;she is profoundly unique !❤
My father used to play kate bush all the time when I was a child. She always sparked so much emotion in me and still does today! I'm so happy this singing is having another moment in the spotlight ❤
She’s all over my playlist!! I mean her music and poetry just hits the soul and makes you think!! What she did with Wuthering Heights is just genius!!! “LET ME HAVE IT LET ME GRAAAAAB YOUR SOUL AWAY YOU KNOW IT’S MEEEE KATHY!!” WHEW, that song is delicious!! I think I’ll blast it right now!! Love you to bits, Kathy Bush!!!! 🥰🥰🥰
The funny thing is she hadn't even read the book when she wrote the song. She wrote it at 18 after watching the BBC adaptation on tv. She wrote "The Man with The Child in His Eyes" at THIRTEEN, and recorded it at 16. She was a real find, being so talented so young :-)
@@dontbefatuousjeffrey2494
She eventually did read the book AFTER seeing that BBC doc.
She found out everything she should’ve of about Emily Brontë - even the fact that the two share the same birthday AND she was always was always called Kathy NOT Kate.
@@feleshajones2982 Yes. Also all true. I was just impressed that she wrote the song initially in the hours after watching the film, so perfectly summing up the story and its eerie ending in particular 🙂
@@dontbefatuousjeffrey2494
EXACTLY!!! It was like it was meant to be. I love that damn song much! I was juuuuust listening to it. That ending guitar solo 👌🏾 perfection to the core!!!
I love her speaking voice as much as her singing voice, the soft British accent is so nice to listen to😊
I'm a 90s-00s baby so I'm just discovering her now, and I'm obsessed with this song now.
Probably one of the best songs ever written
Wtf man time is amazing, art is amazing, the way this women touched me with her music being a .young 23 year old black man is amazing truly
Her music is a beautiful coming together of an artistic woman steeped in traditional folk, old Irish and English folk culture, a spiritual /intuitive heart and the most modern of sound technology used to express it.
never really heard her speaking before now, have to say what a lovely lady she seems, what a beautiful soul, light years removed from todays rabble
I discovered Hounds of Love (the album) a few weeks ago it is truly life changing.
The Dreaming is even better for me :)
This woman deserves all the accolades.
Kate is so eloquent seriously no hmmmming she sounds so thorough & thoughtful
She is also gorgeous
Love that kids are getting into Kate, she’s incredible. My two young nieces are very into wearing 80’s clothes too, very strange seeing them wear what I wore 😆
My son and daughter heard this on the radio and asked me to turn it up, I'm 47 and this is unreal that they requested this song
That song will rescue some kids who are on the brink like Max in Stranger Things 4
Only my coolest friends listened to Kate back in the day. I enjoyed her music but didn't understand it until much later in life. Just take it as you are.
My Kate Bush playlist. Running Up That Hill - Rubberband Girl - Don't Give Up - And So Is Love - Hounds Of Love - Watching You Without Me - The Sensual World - Nocturn - And Dream of Sheep
Thanks 👍
She's absolutely beautiful..I'm 62 and always loved her. X
One of my favorite songs by Kate Bush. Loved hearing it in Strangers Things! Her videos are mini art films.
So glad Kate Bush is getting this whole new wind of fans thanks to Stranger Things. She deserves all the recognition in the world.
Wuthering Heights
Running up that Hill
The Hounds of Love
Cloudbusting
The Sensual World
These are my favorite songs, Kate is amazing.
This Women’s Work
@@rarecharisma Haven't heard yet, Rubberband Girl and Hammer Horror are great too.
That's just 5 of many many more works of art
@@stevecox9796 sure, catching up with her discography lately, she really rocks
Also forget Babooshka another great song by her.
I'm 58 and I love Kate, she's the best vocalist ever ever! Glad the youngsters are discovering her too because she's timeless 🙏
Im from argentina ,when i listen this magical woman ,i fallin in love , she's fantástico ,i love her
She saves my life, I was in very deep depression, started to hear her music and suddenly I start to feel better, she is a real Angel.
She's a genuinely humble, genuinely curious musical genius who captured my heart completely & forever, a long time ago. Probably the coolest thing of all about her, aside from her incredible music, is the fact she simply won't play the music industry game. She would rather go off in private and be a Mother, away from all the noise & madness. It's absolutely brilliant that she is having this resurgence in popularity. Hail Kate, Queen of Hearts! Beautiful inside & out. Eat the music!
Simply, one of the strongest scenes in cinematic history. Period.
Disagree
@@lavenderraiyn I don’t think they give a shit
alright calm down
First time that I heard this song was years ago with the band Within Temptation playing. Only a time later I found out that was a Kate Bush song. And hearing this song on Stranger Things WAS AMAZING!!!!!!
When a new generation is gripped by a song from the 80's, it confirms how good the music was in our youth. I could listen to Kate's interview's all day.
She clearly said that 'music' is a strong force for children, not 'my music is a strong force'
Nice interview though...
My very first memory of Kate Bush was late 70s, 1980 at the latest because I still lived in WA, before we moved to Tessie. It was on count down. I thought she was an angel. I just saw beauty, inside and out. It's a very clear memory. I was mesmerized. It's a powerful memory. I can't remember the song 100% but I'm pretty sure it was Babushka. I was 3 or 4 years old at the time.
she seems quite reserved and plain-jane during interviews - and somewhat displeased - yet in her music videos she blows you away with her outward and wild personality. fascinating how someone can be like two completely different personalities.
She's in control with her art
@@beathusk1018 very true.i find it fascinating how such a creative artist is so "normal" during interview, almost like they don't want to be there or discuss their work.shes definitely one of those celebs who doesn't enjoy interviews you can just tell.
@@Dion_Mustard I think she's just very calm and put together so it almost seems like she's not interested
@@ryle2814 yes agreed.
My mum played Kate Bush, her voice just unlocked a part of me that will remain.
Sheer genius, her aesthetic, her voice, her lyrics, her artistry made a profound impact on millions of sensitive souls, she is really a Renaissance Woman .... wonderful that her music is being rediscovered by a new generation.....
She's great. Listening and introduced to her at age 42.
Not only is her music different, she has her own vibe going on. She almost is enchanting. And I say that in a good way.
Musicians like Kate come around once in a lifetime
Cloud busting is one of my favourite Kate Bush songs. She never dates. Love her music ❤️
Iv'e been a 'Kate' fan for 40 yrs+ (adore 'The Dreaming' album) but regarding the subject of 'Stranger Things' and the youngsters of today... if her music was on the radio, no kids of today would take a blind bit of notice. It's only because its on that tv show that kids get into it. FACT! If a song is fantastic, you dont need some tv show to promote it.
amazing how people from different age group are connecting
Beautiful inside and out and moreso able to express it to the world.
I wish I could meet her. She's magical
Her singing voice is beautiful and powerful and her speaking voice is sweet and calm ♥️🥰
Could this woman be any more iconic? She is a complete one off.
My first impression of "Wuthering Heights" was her slight squeak high pitch singing; then came her deepest single that is "Running Up That Hill", in which her biggest single 37 years ago just got bigger today!
I also have really clear memories of Queen, I want to break free. I remember my parents talking about it because they were wearing dresses and makeup. These are the kind of people who open others eyes and teach diversity, uniqueness and acceptance.
She accompanied my life since I was 5 - and saved my teeange years :) Thank you, Kate :)
I’m glad the new generation are getting to recognise her song again
Kate, you are you so beautiful, in every sense of the word!
Kate's always been Classic Alternative, therefore not mainstream. That's why most Americans haven't known her in past. She's not like Madonna, whose just for anyone.
I heard her song in stranger things and it is a very beautiful and has some magnetic power in it.
Love her voice!
CZcams video Kate bush is an art pop genius is done by a series I think called the histories of rock. It had explained her voice distinct nature was first seen as a kid while singing in church choir and she'd over pronounce her E's.
It was done by professor of rock is
czcams.com/video/A2Id3MnWg3w/video.html
I guess "I sat in your lap” was a song dedicated to her own unique voice.
I'm so glad the effervescent Kate Bush is seeing a revival of interest in the younger generation. Her music is so magical and timeless in a way that very few artists have achieved.
This song was also used in The Handmaid's Tale series.
Kate Bush is not a mere musician - she is an artist.
Remember taping this from the radio … love her music ♥️💐💐♥️
So glad that her music is re-dicovered by the younger generations ♥
Or possibly Withering Heights. See if I can regress and hear the song. It was more her aura that mesmerized me. I truly did think she was an angel
It's wonderful she's getting appreciated again.
1986 is truly back rn. We have Stranger Things at #1, Top Gun is #1 movie in June 2022, and Kate Bush is back on the charts at #1 GLOBALLY!!! Everything i've always wanted as a GEN Z
