Meg Myers Shares a Cover of Kate Bush’s ‘Running Up That Hill’

Meg Myers has shared a cover version of the Kate Bush single ‘Running Up That Hill’. Bush originally released the song in 1985, which was the lead-off single from her LP ‘ Hounds of Love’. Rather than restructuring the classic track, Myers stays consistent with the original version as well as deliver a highly similar vocal performance. Meg Myers first performed the cover version on NPR Tiny Desk. You can now stream the recorded version below.

Touching on the cover, Meg Myers mentioned:

“Growing up, I was never really interested in covering other artist’s music. I always wanted to write my own songs because I knew I could only sing music and lyrics that were truly authentic, from my heart (and also would have to make sense with my deep voice). Well, then I discovered Kate Bush’s ‘Running up that Hill,’ which for years has resonated with my soul like nothing ever before. What if we could experience role reversal? What would it be like living in each other’s shoes? I think we would find a lot more compassion for one another and a passion for kindness and truth. This song to me, represents an opening of our hearts and a possibility of acceptance for all. And to me, this is an important message for the world we are living in right now.​​​​​​​”
