Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)

Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)

Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God), By Kate Bush, is a song about how men and women will never truly understand each other and their individual experiences. She wishes that she could “make a deal with god” and swap places with a man, so she could both live a life as the opposite gender and understand what a man has to experience. However, this song has been newly interpreted due to its boom in popularity in 2022, when it was played on the show, Stranger Things.

My favorite lyrics:

Is there so much hate for the ones we love?/Oh, tell me, we both matter, don’t we?
