Since the first part of the fourth season of Stranger Things was released, we have something in our heads that we cannot get out of there. Kate Bush’s song has been placed at number 1 of all platforms and has become the absolute representative of this season.
So much so that there are those who say that in Running Up That Hill is the key to the end of stranger things, one of the best Netflix series of history
Spoiler alert. From this moment we will reveal part of the plot of the first volume of season 4 of ‘Stranger Things’. If you haven’t seen it, you better not read on.
The success of Running Up That Hill by Kate Bush
It is a fundamental part of the series because Running Up That Hill by Kate Bush, is the song that got Max to escape from Vecna. And it is that to flee from the final monster of the story and get out of the trance in which their victims enter, they can only do so with the help of a melody that means something to them. In Max’s case it is Running Up That Hill by Kate Bush, the biggest hit from her album Hounds of Love.
The theory of the end of stranger things
Since he appeared in this scene, everything seemed to revolve around this great song and the surprise is that according to this fan theory, also the ending seems to be related to the song and to discover it you just have to look at the letter.
“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,/ Be running up that road,/ Be running up that hill,/ With no problems.”
Translated it would say something like:
‘‘Come on, ‘baby’, come on, honey. / Let me steal this moment from you now. / Come on, angel, come on, honey. / Let’s change the experience. / And if only I could, / make a deal with God / and exchange our places. / I’d be running that road, / I’d be running up that hill, / no problem.”
Trade our places? For love, of course. Maybe Will will be the one to join Vecna to save his friends. Or maybe Steve, still in love with Nancy, is the one who decides to give her life to save her… Eleven could do it, but everything indicates that the final battle will be between Vecna and her, so for now, we rule out that possibility. Be that as it may and if we listen to the theory of the song, there will be at least one sacrifice that is a demonstration of love.
stranger things is full of movie referenceseaster eggs and nostalgic winks. But we still don’t know anything about the end of the series, only that this wonderful season 4 ends on July 1 and that the final stretch of this fantastic series begins.
Until that fifth season arrives, there will be more and more theories (some crazier than others) about How will the series finally end?
