The songs with lyrics so banal they sound like fortune cookie messages. The songs with no harmony, no gripping chord changes. You know, the songs in which nobody plays an instrument and the singer needs Auto-Tune. And that whole new meaning is modern music is terrible. ItвЂ™s a classic song that has been introduced to a wide fandom and has now taken on a whole new meaning.вЂќ вЂRunning Up That Hill (A Deal With God)вЂ™ is one of those вЂperfect stormвЂ™ examples. So many вЂ™80s songs not only hold up, they keep getting stronger.ДЄs Jeremy Erlick, SpotifyвЂ™s global head of music, told Billboard: вЂњItвЂ™s incredible to watch iconic songs get rediscovered and have global moments with new listeners. TheyвЂ™d ask for an encore of the ClashвЂ™s вЂњRock the Casbah,вЂќ and tell me to turn up Prince or Crowded House. IвЂ™d notice my daughters would covertly add songs to playlists, including from Tom Petty or the Grapes of Wrath. The indie music IвЂ™ve loved this century is apparently вЂњlameвЂќ and вЂњboring.вЂќ I canвЂ™t win at this jukebox. They have zero interest in any music from the вЂ™50s, вЂ™60s and вЂ™70s, save for Gerry RaffertyвЂ™s вЂњBaker Street.вЂќ Jazz was a total writeoff I might as well have taken them to a construction site to listen to jackhammers. They usually indulge me for a few seconds before retreating to their bedrooms to wash away the Beatles with Camila Cabello or Iggy Azalea. IвЂ™ve played hundreds of songs for these little hellions. It also suggests young people have been deprived of good tunes. It is suddenly a Gen Z anthem.ДЄnd that warms the heart and ears of this old man.

1 on the iTunes charts, 37 years after it was released.ДЄccording to Billboard, the track posted an 8,700 per cent increase in global streams since it was featured in вЂњStranger Things.вЂќ ItвЂ™s No. Thanks to the new season of NetflixвЂ™s вЂњStranger Things,вЂќ Kate BushвЂ™s вЂњRunning Up That Hill (A Deal With God)вЂќ hit No. And thatвЂ™s why what happened this week is so unusual. Others had вЂњghetto blastersвЂќ in Adidas bags and would hold concerts on the field, playing everything from the Police to the Smiths, Talking Heads to Simple Minds, A-ha to INXS вЂ¦ Latchkey kids were never in a rush to go home. Some kids listened to Tears for Fears or Depeche Mode on Walkmans. Then I felt a jolt of nostalgia, recalling junior high classmates in popped-collar Lacoste golf shirts and fingerless Cyndi Lauper gloves as the closing bell in Grade 9 inevitably led to spontaneous outdoor music. Looking at this weekвЂ™s music charts, I did a double-take.
