If for some reason you needed further convincing that Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill" is a true work of art, just sit back and listen to Stranger Things star Brett Gelman (aka Murray) giving the song a dramatic reading.

Featuring prominently in Stranger Things 4 (and in one memorable episode in particular), Kate Bush's 1985 classic has since stormed its way back into the charts as a whole new generation discovers the song's magic.

Gelman's reading, which he gave on The Late Show, is undeniably chill-inducing — but it still can't hold a candle to the original.
