Running Up That Hill V1

from Holiday '22 by Parralox

/

about

This is V1 of Running Up That Hill. It was initially planned for release on Holiday '22, but due to the over saturation of the song (ie every man and his dog has done a cover version of it by now) it was more or less abandoned.

This is literally the first version of the song. It includes some vague original vocals which have been run through a Lexicon 480 with freeze reverb (in a similar homage to what Kate did for the intro and drone that goes throughout the entire original track).

Maybe one day we will revisit the song. There's also an instrumental version that might be released somewhere as well.

This year we pick up our virtual guitars and pay tribute to Ozzy Osbourne, The Stone Roses, Hole, Journey, ELO (Jeff Lynne), and as a special bonus for our Bandcamp Subscribers, our unfinished mix of Running Up That Hill (will we ever finish it? Who knows!)

We want to thank YOU the fans for all your amazing support in 2022 and look forward to an even more amazing 2023.

Thanks so much,

John, Johanna and Jane.

Written by Kate Bush

[Verse 1]
It doesn't hurt me (Yeah, yeah, yo)
Do you wanna feel how it feels? (Yeah, yeah, yo)
Do you wanna know, know that it doesn't hurt me? (Yeah, yeah, yo)
Do you wanna hear about the deal that I'm makin'? (Yeah, yeah, yo)

[Pre-Chorus]
You
It's you and me

[Chorus]
And if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get him to swap our places
Be runnin' up that road
Be runnin' up that hill
Be runnin' up that buildin'
Say, if I only could, oh
[Verse 2]
You don't wanna hurt me (Yeah, yeah, yo)
But see how deep the bullet lies (Yeah, yeah, yo)
Unaware, I'm tearin' you asunder (Yeah, yeah, yo)
Oh, there is thunder in our hearts (Yeah, yeah, yo)
Is there so much hate for the ones we love? (Yeah, yeah, yo)
Oh, tell me, we both matter, don't we? (Yeah, yeah, yo)

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

[Chorus]
And if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get him to swap our places
Be runnin' up that road
Be runnin' up that hill
Be runnin' up that buildin' (Yo)
Say, if I only could, oh

[Post-Chorus]
You (Yeah, yeah, yo)
It's you and me
It's you and me, won't be unhappy (Yeah, yeah, yo)

[Bridge]
Oh, come on, baby (Yeah)
Oh, come on, darlin' (Yo)
Let me steal this moment from you now
Oh, come on, angel
Come on, come on, darlin'
Let's exchange the experience (Yo, ooh, ooh)

[Chorus]
And if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get him to swap our places
I'd be runnin' up that road
Be runnin' 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 runnin' up that road
Be runnin' 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 runnin' up that road
Be runnin' up that hill
With no problems
[Outro]
Say, if I only could
I'd be runnin' up that hill
With no problems
(If I only could, be runnin' up that hill)
(If I only could, be runnin' up that hill)

Parralox Melbourne, Australia

If ever there was a new electronic pop band to encapsulate and emulate the legendary stylings of Depeche Mode, The Human League, Erasure, New Order, Pet Shop Boys and the spirit of Madonna in her 80s day-glo era, then Australia’s Parralox are that modern-day reincarnation. ... more
