37 years after its initial release, Kate Bush’s hit track “Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)” has been reissued as a CD single. The song, which amassed a huge resurgence due to its use in Season 4 of Netflix’s “Stranger Things”, was originally a part of Bush’s 1985 album “Hounds of Love.”

As described on the website, the CD will feature a “period correct” artwork and a B-side. The single cover features a throwback photo of Bush aiming a bow and arrow. Aside from “Running Up That Hill,” the tracklist also features “Uner the Ivy.” The song is available via Rhino here.

After the single was used on the fourth season of “Stranger Things,” it immediately garnered massive success. In a rare interview with the BBC in June, Bush said she knew the song would gain attention again, but she never imagined it to be this big because “the whole world’s gone mad.  The thought of all these really young people hearing the song for the first time and discovering it is, well, I think it’s very special.”
