“Running Up That Hill” By Kate Bush Inspired Our Bohemian Love Story
When music and art mirror reality in a captivating way
Have you ever been so deeply in love with someone you experience a longing to know every nuance of how they feel? To trade places with each other for a fleeting moment, to immerse yourself in their emotions and truly understand that love?
In the mid-80s, I found myself in a relationship that mirrored just that. So when the English songstress Kate Bush released “Running Up That Hill” in 1985, it was as if she had peered into our hearts and transformed our experience into a melody.
The track’s romantic theme and exquisitely choreographed video beautifully encapsulated our own enchanting love story.
We were two kooky 18-year-olds wrapped up in our own little world of youthful love and romance. Our hearts beat to the rhythm of that song, and the lyrics echoed the emotions we shared. It forged a powerful connection between us.
This is the story of how our romance became entangled with that song.
It doesn’t hurt me
Do you wanna feel how it feels?
Do you wanna know, know that it doesn’t hurt me?
Do you wanna hear about the deal that I’m making?
