Pub Choir sings 'Running Up That Hill' (Kate Bush) 

This is the message from Kate: Dear Brisbane Pub Choir, I’ve been so busy that I’ve only just had the chance to watch you all singing RUTH. It’s utterly, utterly wonderful! I love it so much! Thank you everyone. You sing it really beautifully. I’m incredibly touched by your warmth and all your smiling faces. Thank you!” With lots of love, Kate.

I was in the crowd. What an awesome night. Left on such a high. Who needs drugs when you can do this. Amazing job getting a group of random peeps to sing such beautiful harmonies. Love your work Astrid in conducting this & everyone else involved. Can’t wait for the next event

I've watched this three times now and I cried each time. 60 year old man in London who loves this song and now this performance. Long may the pub choir continue

If anyone is sadly suffering from depression please watch this it's better than any prescriptions drugs truly it will make you so much better about yourself ❤❤❤❤❤❤

This is not a pub, this is heaven

Maybe this is something we should all start doing everywhere in the world….simply singing together…”singalong get togethers”, more smiles, more joy, more fun, less violence…

I just read that Kate Bush sent Pub Choir a message thanking them for this great performance. Beautiful.

Yes Australia! 🇦🇺

Oh, my... this is unbelievable. I've never seen so many beautiful people in one place. This felt like from another dimension. Just left me speechless

There needs to be a LOT MORE of this in the world today! So beautiful.

I've played and replayed this. Maybe 50 times. Conservative estimate. Constant repetition has put it at the top of my RU-vid music playlist. Magic night. To have to live it vicariously is my regret. I feel like I know these people. If pressed, I might confess to maybe 26 crushes. Conservative estimate. Thanks to Kate Bush for a timeless song. Thanks to Astrid Jorgensen for an incredible interpretation. Thanks to the Fortitude Music Hall Pub Choir for a wonderfully heartfelt, charismatic performance. Thanks to the singer at 3:17 for the expressive Rah. Thanks to Sleepy Mountain Films for capturing the magic

It feels like the whole world is singing this song nowadays. It feels like a beacon of light at the end of the tunnel. I remember when I first discovered her and this song specifically, I felt like I had been saved from the darkest time in my life. It fills my heart with immense joy seeing this. God… love you Kate 💗

"There is thunder in - I'll have pint of larger and packet of crisp, please - thunder in our hearts. If only I could, I'd made a deal with God."

Amazing! Among the destruction, wars, poverty, global warming, all the hate and eveil of that world, the spark is being ignited... All because, old forgotten song of my childhood, which emerged with triumph for all young and old watching Stranger Things. Kate Bush won a ticket on lottery - YT and social media are flooded with lots of gigs and performances by many different artists and amateurs. And it is great! And I am so happy that Public Choir is among them. It is great, original approach. Well done! It is fantastic to live now and witness such glorious moments! ❤

Everyone can sing - even if you think you can’t: “not wrong notes - just interesting variations.” said Val. Sing your hearts out!👍🌞🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🌞👍14.7.22

The joy on all their faces is just beautiful 🤩

This gave me goosebumps. All these people coming together to sing this timeless classic is so inspiring and beautiful. We world is in desperate need of more moments like this. Thank you for the joy you have given us today!

Wow. What a powerful score. 🎶 I am blown away to tears. It's feels like Kate Bush wrote this song for the very moment Max ran up that hill to save herself with the help of her friends. Look at what the impact of that scene paired with this song brought about! Amazing. ♨️✨

These are my people! I've never been to Australia, but if I get a chance, this is the first place I'm going! Plus, I think this song now has the best viola part ever written.

Quite emotional watching so many generations singing and loving this song which has been a lifelong favourite of mine. Just wonderful. Thank you from 🇬🇧 xx

I want to live like this, A Society with No Judgement of Others and No Gun Violence that cast a negative view of society in General...Talking to you America, Better get ourselves together our we Will Lose It ALL!

Brisbane killing it. Well done to all involved. Uplifting! 🙌🏼

Seeing people so happy to be celebrating Kate packs such an emotional WALLOP! Thank you so much!

I love it!!! And I so hope Kate Bush sees this. I've loved her since... well, since this song, actually. I'm so damned happy to see it in the awareness of new generations. It meant a lot to me as a kid. It means even more to me now, as an adult.

People CAN be good. Thank you.

Can’t we sing this song with the whole world. It would be a better place.

This is so beautiful, I'm so glad Kate saw this. I bet she cried, I know I would if I was her. So powerful❤

I loved the addition of that "roar." A little Florence + The Machine touch. Nice job, Pub Choir! It looked like you had fun!

Kate Bush, and particularly this song, is certainly youth sentiment for me. Seeing all those smiling faces singing together, just for the fun of it, is amazing. I used to be in the school choir in secondary school in the early 90s. It was fun to do for 2 or 3 years, but one of the reasons I quit was that our teacher and choir leader chose very old-fashioned music. The 'coolest' thing in the concerts was music from hís youth (The Beatles e.a) or an Elton John ballad. We actually asked for both Wuthering Heights - since the song was used during our English Lit classes - and Running up that Hill, after all most of us loved that song still back then & it has the potential for nice harmonies. I already knew back then I could forget about the chance to ever include Metallica, but that too Stranger Things fixed for me 🫡🤗🤘. I'm happy to see both have gotten new life. If it was up to me, more great 80s music would get a reprise/revival like Bush's song, whether through new covers, the original being replayed, or cute renditions like this. Well done, Brisbane.

Everyone is full of joy...ode to Kate Bush..what a genius..as are you for getting this together ❤

A fantastic version of the best song ever written. 🥰

Wow. This literally brought tears to my eyes and lump in my throat when you all clapped and cheered at the end. So emotive! Beautiful

Well done Pub Choir mob!

Love watching the faces of the singers and the love they have for the experience. Wish I could be there!

Each and everyone of them brings a smile. Good job!

I’m bawling at how beautiful and powerful this is…what a moment! Well done to everyone and big thanks to Kate for birthing this incredible song!

this just put tears in my eyes makes me so happy! As a long life Kate fan since 9 years of age IS THIS NOT WHAT BRILLIANT MUSIC IS ALL ABOUT??

Wow this is brilliant to hear so many singing such a great song together.Just Loved it.

I think I'd be crying there instead of singing. Chilllls :')

Look at their faces..they are happy.

absolutely wonderful totally fabulous.xxxx

This was a great night.

Thank you for the joy!!!

Wow! what a great affection for Kate Bush’s song - thanks to Stranger Things!

How is this for synchronicity or mental telepathy? I was reading about this in yesterday's Friday, July 15 'The (Melbourne) Age' newspaper, page 15, today -' Kate Bush stuns choir from over the hill and far away', with a photo, by Cameron Atfield. I got up, turned on the computer to You Tube and there you all were exactly as in the photo. Wow! You all made my heart sing. What a beautiful blessing of loving goodwill you have given to Kate Bush and the world. Thank-you so much. It makes me proud to be an Aussie.

Utterly joyous. Thank you. I cried buckets.

This is amazing. All the songs Astrid helps the crowd perform are so powerful and harmonious. I have loved and enjoyed Pub Choir performances I have come across on RU-vid heartily. I have a song suggestion- Good Day For Dreaming by Ruelle ❤❣ Thank you guys for this🥰😇
