Kate Bush Speaks! The famously media -shy Bush gives a rare interview to BBC Radio 4. katebush runningupthathill strangerthings bbcradio4
This month, Kate Bush broke into the US Top Ten for the first time in her career with the hit song “Running Up That Hill ,” after it was centrally featured in season 4 of Netflix’s Stranger Things. This makes the 63-year-old Bush the oldest woman to ever appear on this chart, thereby usurping that title from Cher .
ADVERTISEMENT Yesterday, the famously media-shy Bush joined host Emma Barnett on BBC Radio 4’s “Woman’s Hour” to discuss the current popularity of her hit song and her recent and historic success. Bush immediately shared her feelings about her resurgent fame, gushing, “Well, it’s just extraordinary! I mean, it’s such a great series, I thought that the track would get some attention, but I never imagined it would be anything like this…It’s quite shocking, isn’t it? The whole world’s gone mad.
Bush also shared the naming journey of the song, originally called “A Deal With God” but changed in its infancy because her record company was worried it wouldn’t be played on the radio because of the sensitive nature of that title. When asked about her feelings about the way that Stranger Things chose to use her song, Bush’s voice lit up with excitement. “They’ve put it in a really special place.
Bush also discussed her longing for a time before cell phones, remembering a concert she played in 2014 where she asked the audience to turn off their devices so that everyone in the room could connect more intimately. Says Bush, “We were working in what was quite a small theater, and I wanted there to be a really strong connection between the audience and everyone onstage…we were trying to create an atmosphere with what we were doing, with a lot of theatre and film involved.
