Stranger Things 4: ‘Running Up That Hill’, letra de la canción de Max

La primera parte de Stranger Things 4 por fin se estrenó en Netflix y con ello llegaron una ola de emociones a Hawkins, California y también Rusia, sitios donde se desarrolla la nueva temporada además de, por supuesto, El Otro Lado.

Sin compartir spoilers para aquellos que no la han visto, queremos hablar de un aspecto específico de la temporada: la música.

Si bien Stranger Things siempre ha destacado por contar con un gran soundtrack, en esta ocasión, juega a mayor profundidad con su significado y la relación de los personajes con ciertas canciones, como es el caso de una poderosa escena de Max (Sadie Sink) en el episodio 4 llamado Dear Billy, donde suena el éxito ochentero de “Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)” interpretada por Kate Bush.

De hecho, según señala Forbes, el tema ha causado tanto impacto que llegó al número 1 de descargas en iTunes tras el estreno de la temporada y se está volviendo cada vez más popular en TikTok, por lo que a continuación, te compartimos la letra de la canción, que quizá hayas escuchado también en la versión del cover de Placebo.

It doesn't hurt me (Ye-yeah, yeah, yo)
Do you want to feel how it feels? (Ye-yeah, yeah, yo)
Do you want to know, know that it doesn't hurt me? (Ye-yeah, yeah, yo)
Do you want to hear about the deal that I'm making? (Ye-yeah, yeah, yo)

[precoro]
You
It's you and me

[Coro]
And if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get him to swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
Be running up that building
Say, if I only could, oh

[Verso 2]
You don't want to hurt me (Ye-yeah, yeah, yo)
But see how deep the bullet lies (Ye-yeah, yeah, yo)
Unaware I'm tearing you asunder (Ye-yeah, yeah, yo)
Ooh, there is thunder in our hearts (Ye-yeah, yeah, yo)
Is there so much hate for the ones we love? (Ye-yeah, yeah, yo)
Tell me, we both matter, don't we? (Ye-yeah, yeah, yo)

[Pre coro]
You
It's you and me
It's you and me, won't be unhappy

[Coro]
And if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get him to swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
Be running up that building (Ye-yo)
Say, if I only could, oh

[Pre coro]
You (Ye-yeah, yeah, yo)
It's you and me
It's you and me, won't be unhappy (Ye-yeah, yeah, yo)
[Bridge]
Oh come on, baby (Ye-yeah)
Oh come on, darling (Ye-yo)
Let me steal this moment from you now
Oh come on, angel (Ye-yeah)
Come on, come on, darling
Let's exchange the experience, oh, uh-oh (Ye-oh, ooh)

[Coro]
And if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get him to swap our places
I'd be running up that road
Be running up that hill
With no problems
Say, if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get him to swap our places
I'd be running up that road
Be running up that hill
With no problems
Say, if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get him to swap our places
I'd be running up that road
Be running up that hill
With no problems

[Outro]
Say, if I only could
Be running up that hill
With no problems
If I only could, be running up that hill
