《Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)》是由凱特·布希創作並演唱的一首歌曲，作為單曲於1985年8月5日發行，後收錄在凱特·布希的第五張錄音室專輯《Hounds of Love》中。該曲的重新混音版本於2012年8月10日發行，後收錄在2012年倫敦奧運會閉幕式的原聲音樂專輯《A Symphony Of British Music: Music For The Closing Ceremony Of The London 2012 Olympic Games》中。該曲同時也是Netflix科幻驚悚電視劇《怪奇物語第四季》中的插曲。
凱特·布希獨立創作了該曲，並採用數字採樣合成器Fairlight CMI來輔助作曲。凱特·布希認為男人和女人間通常不能相互理解，他們需要互換角色在彼此的位置戴上一段時間，所以她將“交換位置”的內容寫進了歌詞中。該曲最初被命名為《A Deal With God》，但她的團隊被告知歌曲名字中有“神”（God）可能會導致該曲不能在宗教國家播放，於是該曲作為單曲發行時被命名為《Running Up That Hill》。

歌曲歌詞
It doesn't hurt me
Do you wanna feel how it feels
Do you wanna know know that it doesn't hurt me
Do you wanna hear about the deal that I'm making
You
It's you and me
And if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get him to swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
Be running up that building
See if I only could oh
You don't wanna hurt me
But see how deep the bullet lies
Unaware I'm tearing you asunder
Oh there is thunder in our hearts
Is there so much hate for the ones we love
Well tell me we both matter don't we
You
It's you and me
It's you and me won't be unhappy
And if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get him to swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
Be running up that building
Say if I only could oh
You
It's you and me
It's you and me won't be unhappy
Oh c'mon baby c'mon darling
Let me steal this moment from you now
C'mon angel c'mon c'mon darling
Let's exchange the experience oh
And if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get him to swap our places
I'd be running up that road
Be running up that hill
With no problems
See and if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get him to swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
With no problems
So if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get him to swap our places
I'd be running up that road
Be running up that hill
With no problems
So if I only could
Be running up that hill
With no problems
If I only could I'd be running up that hill
If I only could I'd be running up that hill
歌曲鑑賞
《Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)》是一首表達渴望人與人之間能深層次連線的歌曲，凱特·布希踩著高低錯落的音階釋放出了強烈的情感。該曲唱出了“奔上高山和巨廈的頂端不是為了更高更快更強，而是為了讓你感受到我的痛苦”這一觀點，蘊含著“人們應互換位置，感同身受他人在這個世界上生活的所有體驗”這一道理。而在情歌的外表下，該曲也帶有著對性別平等的呼求。
