Which song becomes associated with Max Mayfield in Stranger Things season 4?
Answer
Running Up That Hill
“Running Up That Hill” becomes associated with Max Mayfield in Stranger Things season 4.
The song was recorded by English singer-songwriter Kate Bush and released in 1985. In the season, Max listens to it through her headphones, and it becomes a crucial emotional and narrative element when Vecna targets her.
Music helps the characters resist Vecna’s psychic attacks, and Max’s connection to the song gives her a route back toward the people and world around her. The sequence made the song central to one of the season’s most memorable scenes.
The song was originally titled “Running Up That Hill (A Deal with God).” Stranger Things introduced it to a new generation and caused a major resurgence in streams and chart activity decades after its original release. It is distinct from “Master of Puppets,” another prominent season 4 song, which is associated with Eddie Munson.
