I just love this cause I am a huge Kate Bush fan...and appreciate that Kate's music and writing has sameness to Brian's ...very clever song writers...
This is the first version of the song I have ever heard. I looked up the original just to see what it was like. I am a HUGE WH13 fan, so this version holds a lot more meaning for me. I enjoyed watching Mrs. F die. The evil bitch.
I really don't think people can compare this version to Kate Bush's one, because they're sung a different way. I mean, if Placebo copied everything off Kate Bush, right down to the backing music, then we could compare it...but one is like pop and one is sad and sort of depressing...so they're rather different...and both are sung great:)
What a great cover, easily rates up there with the original and modern production and the MTV Era have given it so much more. Fresh and dark, this is one moody mutha! B-)
Have you tried Kate Bush - Running Up That Hill (Datassette Remix), guys? Keeps the spirit of the original. And Kate Bush did not shit in her pants while singing.
I really like this version. I like how serious and emotional it is. I can almost hear the desperation in it. I don't know if I like this version or the original best. I guess it depends on what mood I'm in =)
P.S. -If anyone is a Merlin fan, doesn't the guy at 4:13 kind of look like Colin Morgan? At least in the jawline and the hair =)
The student surpassed the master ... With all respect to Kate Bush, but the version of Placebo's just better. A moody, quiet, melancholic ... Wonderful.
The original release marks a significant time in my youth so it lends more sexual and emotive power for me than this version. Not to say Placebo's version isn't powerful it's just new to me. This video is visually striking in that there are so many beautiful people in it.
i was cool to find out that this is originally done by kate bush but i like both versions and kerli's acoustic version, not so much within temptation's. its fun to see how the meaning and mood of the lyrics can change with the artist. much like sweet dreams(are made of this).
When I first heard Placebo cover of Kate Bush track, I thought how the meany seems to have changed... its now sounds more erotic as if he's asking to feel what sex is like for both woman and man.... well that's how I think it sounds... discuss?
we've made a remix to this song, if you're interested in dubstep search for "running up that hill - placebo (dubstep remix)" i think you'll like it, apologies for wasting your time if you don't!
My brother found this video on Comcast On Demand. I have been obsessed with this band ever since. Wish more people around here felt the mental and emotional whip like I do when these songs play. Tantalizing and alluring. Most people just think I'm crazy when I talk like that.
@boobsteak Well depression does affect more white people than any other race,I know what you mean but another thing here is that other races dont always let there emotions show like the people in the video here do ( Atleast from my experiences )
Man this is an excellent song, And i feel EVERYTHING that these people portray in the video and im just so sick of feeling like this. Does anyone know of ANY kind of free group meeting for people who suffer from major/clinical/manic depression?? Please someone help.......
Who is this @ 2:25? I feel I'm one degree of separation away from knowing her, but I would really like to know. She looks so much like my friend's girlfriend whom I haven't met yet of 2 years.
It appears she's Australian the way she annunciates. But if anyone can even give a name to end "my mystery", it would be much appreciated!
@304473108 What does that matter? Johnny Cash covered HURT originally made by NiN and he has an official video.......I just think that this wasn't a single they released and thats why they dont have a video for it.
Wish i was in this 2....LOVE MY BOYS TO DEATH!!!BTW their performance in Athens Greece a few days ago was indescribable!!!THEY were in an excellent mood Brian was mesmerizing as always Stefan is precious, Steve is awesome!PLACEBO have are and will always Be my #1.
And if I only could, Make a deal with God, And get him to swap our places, Be running up that road, Be running up that hill, Be running up that building. If I only could, oh... You don't wanna hurt me, But see how deep the bullet lies. Unaware that I'm tearing you asunder. There's a thunder in our hearts, baby. So much hate for the ones we love? Tell me, we both matter, don't we?
This cover is amazing. I really love Placebo and this song BUT the video is terrible. Pseudo-depressed kids in front of their webcam...just ridiculous.
