BBC: Kate Bush says the 'world has gone mad' over Stranger Things song


First time I've seen a recent picture of her.

In a rare interview, the 63-year-old singer told presenter Emma Barnett it felt "wonderful" that her music had "got to a whole new audience", many of whom had previously not heard of her.

"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," she said.

Asked whether it was important for her that the song helps a female character, Bush, who has been a fan of the show since it began, replied: "I think they've put it in a really special place.

"The Duffer brothers created the series and actually we watched it from the first series onwards, so I was already familiar with the series. And I thought, what a lovely way for the song to be used in such a positive way.

"You know, as a kind of talisman almost for Max. And yeah, I think it's very touching, actually."

Apart from the fact that the re-release brings some royalty for Kate... 😏

Kate was never in it for the money but for the art.
