Thank you for this. I haven't thought about Kate Bush since the 80s (she got replaced by Tory Amos and Sarah McLachlan in that genre in the 90s), and I was never a big fan but I knew this song. I didn't realize the impact she had on other people and thought the choice of her song in Stranger Things was meant to be kitschy but I guess not!

I think people forget what a huge success she was/is. I was too young to experience this first-hand but I'm glad I started listening in the last few years. Her music, particularly her voice, sounded odd to me at first, but I think it's brilliant now. I think you can particularly get a sense of what a great singer she is when you listen to the vocal part of covers of her songs -- she can't be matched IMO.

Sarah McLachlan? Not someone I would have picked. I'd always thought Bjork was a 90's Kate Bush.
