The best part of the depression symbolism is that her friends and loved ones can only open a pathway. She still has to want to survive and go through it herself.

Max's story arc was a great metaphor for someone struggling with depression. You can be surrounded by a hundred people, have the support of friends and loved ones but its sometimes not enough to help you with what is happening in your mind. That scene of her coming close to succumbing to all the pain but finding strength in all the good that was always present but obscured; that is something people with depression deal with everyday. It really can feel like an uphill battle to make it from one day to the next. Be kind to each other because we are all fighting epic battles of survival.

@@3pm479 the explanation I came away with was “pain and despair;” or more importantly… hope and a reason to keep going. The monster (I won’t say what it’s real name is) feeds off of a lot, but in particular these two things. It’s particularly fond of those who have suffered traumatically in the past. Those who may be operating with zero hope and faith. Max escapes because the Kate Bush song essentially gives her reason to have faith again. It gives her hope. These are two things that work against her despair and lack of hope for the world. It reminds her that she can still overcome this trauma. This also works part and parcel with the subject matter of the song, Kate Bush gives her hope beyond the pain she felt, witnessing Billy’s death and never getting that chance to say goodbye. That’s really what ALL of the monster’s victims needed… just a little hope in a dark work world. Something to keep going. Sadly for the three of them… they all gave up and submitted. Max never gave up. That’s not to say the monster will keep going for her, but that song keeps her strong and moving past her pain.

I think what made this scene so powerful, was the fact that all the people Vecna targeted had problems in their lives, whether it was abuse, depression or PTSD. Vecna represents all the demons they have to fight inside but eventually let it win and give up, however in Max’s case she had gone through pain losing billy, abuse from her step father, dealing with alcoholic mother and worse shutting out her friends. However was able to fight the demons she had inside and run back up the hill to the light in her life. This scene in my opinion is telling everyone who struggles with these things to never give up and let your demons win, cause life is precious.

Dear Billy, I don’t know if you can even hear this. Two years ago, I would have said ‘That’s ridiculous, impossible. But that was before I found out about alternation dimensions and monsters, so… I’m just going to stop assuming that I know anything. So much has happened since you left. Your dad was a total mess. He and my mom started getting into fights. Bad fights. I don’t think he could stand being here without you. So he left. And he didn’t leave Mom much. She’s taken an extra job, and we moved to that lovely trailer park off Kerley. Basically, ever since you left, everything’s been a total disaster. And the worst part is, I can’t tell anyone why you’re gone. I can’t tell them that you saved El’s life. That you saved my life. I play that moment back in my head all the time. And sometimes I imagine myself running to you, pulling you away. I imagine that if I had, that you would still be here. And everything would be right again. I imagine that we could’ve become friends. Good friends, like a real brother and sister. And I know that’s stupid. You hated me. I hated you. But I thought that maybe we could try again. But that’s not what happened. I just stood there and I watched. For a while, I tried to be happy. Normal. But I think that maybe a part of me died that day too. And I haven’t told anyone this. I just can’t. But I had to tell you. Before it’s too late. If you can even hear this. I really hope that you can. I’m sorry. I’m so, so sorry, Billy. Love, your shitty little sister, Max

"knew what must be done" Let's not overlook the work ST's music team and specifically Rob Simonsen did as well in that awesome scene! A bit more Cinematic Score but they weaved it well in and out of the original piece while leaving room for the effects sounds.

This scene, in my opinion, represents the real essence of ST. A beautiful and harsh allegory of childhood and all events which makes us transform towards adult life. As children, we are scared of the monsters of the outer world, whereas when we start to grow other monsters show up, the monsters inside us. Those which block our development and for sure the most difficult to face. While the Demogorgon symbolized those monsters from the other world, Vecna represents the monsters inside. The one which feeds from our insecurity, the guilt, the depression…most of them from childhood traumas and events. The 4 season, again, in my opinion, represents this stage in life. The one in which if you are strong enough, you will succeed, while if you don’t, you will become a lost soul throughout your life.

When the producers chose Kate Bush's song, they jumped from a good scene to an iconic scene just that quickly. You add that to all the personal issues Max was dealing with how unfair it would be for her to die, it swells our emotions. A beautiful song can bring out feelings, I'm sure millions of other people across the country were also "ugly crying."......lol

This comment is probably never going to be seen but fuck it This music alone already made a perfect scene even more beautiful when it comes to depression in TV it’s always a mixed bag for me sometimes it’s handled good and others it’s handled terribly but Stranger Things made Max depression feel so real to the point I was sad when she was pulled in the upside down because I honestly thought she was going to die and I was so fucking glad to the point I jumped out my seat out of pure happiness. And this also points in a direction that music can help people in tough spots (in Stranger Things it seems to literally mean that lol) like how you can have a rough day sometimes just putting on some music can make it a bit better idk just how I felt through this scene either way it’s a perfect moment in a great show

I think the writer of this song wants to swap places with them because maybe she deeply loves the person she's talking about and they have changed a lot lately and have been unconsciously hurting her. "You don't wanna hurt me, but see how deep the bullet lies" She wants to understand why they're doing what they're doing, because it's impossible to believe that they would ever really try hurt her or make her feel like that. I also think that a part of her even wants them to see how she's been hurt as a result too and she wants them to see from her perspective. Overall, to me it's about a complicated and messy relationship, which seems to be a result of not talking things through or understanding each other's problems. Maybe it's just the way I see it, maybe it can be interpreted in different ways but idk

IMO Kate Bush was Decades ahead of her time, her music feels so much like modern indie or Alt pop

I'm a aspiring writer, and it's scenes like this that ignite my passion, but this scene in particular is just on a whole different level. Max's battle with depression over her brothers death mixing with song about swapping places because she blames herself, wanting to give in to vecna but seeing just how much her friends care giving her the strength to fight that urge, the whole theme of growing up and the the types of monsters we face going from childish monster under our beds to actual inner demons, holy shit this scenes amazing. Best thing Netflix has ever produced, and probably the most emotional I've ever gotten over a show.

Everything about this entire scene was so powerful. Hell, even the build up. The feeling when Max realized she would be Vecna’s next victim was so painful! And when Max levitated into the air, I was scared to death, and then her life flashed before her eyes and she was running through that field trying to escape Vecna… all while Running Up That Hill was playing. Cried my fucking eyes out. Stranger Things is beautiful.

This scene resonates so much with me right now... The sad part is, I am not the one running up the hill, im outside trying to let my younger brother know that im here.

This version touched my soul. I'm absolutely sobbing

The amount of people who don't seem to understand that the way the song is being used is about her wishing she had died instead of Billy and wanting to "Make a deal with God" to swap places is sort of surprising. If I had to guess, the hopeful tone of the song has people grabbing onto the more positive interpretation. The reason it's positive though is because it's about accepting your trauma, your guilt. She still wishes she could have swapped places with him, but realizes that it's not worth dwelling on because it hurts those still in her life and isn't something she can change. You can't just make feelings of guilt, shame, or regret magically go away, but you can reframe the way that you view and handle those feelings in the future. In my opinion, that is what was intended to be hopeful about this scene. P.S. It is also mirroring the emotional situation Hopper is going through. He was feeling down on himself, lacking value but began to accept what had occurred before and reframed it so that he could regain his motivation to continue on.

Music is open for interpretation, it means different things to different people. For me, it was not about Billy at all & more about her battling the demon of her depression & when faced with death, how she found her will to live. I found the scene so poignant, the way she fought her way back to the pleading voices of those who loved her. Anyone who has battled depression (or addiction) understands how it drags you to the depths of hell. Such an amazing scene!!🙌

What really sold it was that Sadie portrayed desperation rather determination. Normally the actors do the whole grit their teeth and kind of look like they are giving 100%. But Sadie took a different direction and portrayed it as someone really pushing beyond their limits and desperate just to survive. It was an amazing performance.

You can't help but just fall in love with these characters. It's one of the shows i can watch forever. I introduced this show to most of my friends and they all instantly fell in love with it and am glad this turned out into such a masterpiece this season.

Beautifully done. This scene is so powerful, I think one of the most powerful scenes in recent TV history. It's also incredible that "Running Up That Hill" is No. 1 on the US and UK charts and speaks to the message of the music.

This Episode sends a beautiful message to its viewers and that message anchors on our struggles in this thing called life. We are all humans living different lives dealing with different struggles. Wether it be depression, PTSD, a low self esteem or a death in the family. We all are fighting our own demons and half of us are on the brink of giving up. But like Max we need to understand that this thing called life.. is precious. And if we give up and let these demons win we don’t only let ourselves down but we let the people rooting for us to win down as well. So anybody watching this. Hear me when I say keep going. Keep running up that road. Keep running up that Hill. It’s not gonna be easy but.. it will be worth it in the end. Because in the end you understand the value of life. I love all of you and have a blessed day.

This song was such a fantastic choice for the show. The absolute power it holds with each visual is unmatched. Goosebumps. When I listen to the song I'm instantly transported back to the show and her running and I get lost in my thoughts.

When she saw how worthy her life was and finally fought back was one of the best uses of "power of friendship" put to cinema!!

It's remarkable to see the amount of people drawn to this scene, music, the emotion it conveys throughout. It's telling that we're all struggling in some form, be it depression, anxiety, past events in our lives that weigh us down to the point of near collapse. Max pushed everyone away, took on the weight of her regrets alone, nearly drowning her until realizing she wanted to live and let the people in her life that she loved be there for her. I love that music was the only thing able to pierce the curse, as I know that many can relate, in dark times it's sometimes the only thing that can keep your head above water. Powerful scene, the buildup to it and execution was extremely well done, instant emotional pull, and the acting was spot on.

The world just fell in love AGAIN with this amazing 80's song. How incredible and truly magnificent this is

I love when shows associate a theme with a character and a scene but Kate Bush and Max/Sadie will always be bonded, cemented in history as an iconic dynamic duo. I love playing this song just as much as Max and ST did

This scene will go down in television history. Just incredible!

No doubt about that! The "memories" montage with the song playing while she tries to escape - damn. So well done. I liked when the song played the first time and we saw her in her "own world" with everyone else "doing their stuff" at the high school - she clearly wasn't well after what happened and that scene showed that. But then the ep.4's ending... Amazing!

Man, the music department at Stranger Things is just a master at recontextualizing old 80s songs into something more. Awesome cover

Now that I've finished watching season 4 of "Stranger things" this song hits even harder. I'm obsessed with this song right now, and listening it all the time. This orchestral version is just perfect. I hope Max will wake up from her coma and recover. I love her, she deserves a happy ending. She's an incredibly strong character, fighting with Vecna, struggling through depression and probably other mentall illnesses, after witnessing Billy's death.

Amazing depiction of depression. Max(could be anyone) suffers from depression and trying to run up the hill, two before her has succumbed to this illness, but because Max has genuine friends, its these bonds that help her break free from this spell of depression and set herself free.

For other people (like me) there was no good memories in the past, but there was the potential of best moments in the future, the hope of a better life. And yes the future, my present life, is better than my past.

Children running is one od the hardest things to make look good, credit to the camera direction and the actress for showing genuine fear

I usually never cry in front of shows and movies, but this scene made me shed a tear. Guess the music, Sadie's acting, the emotional impact of the scene and the flashbacks to happy times... I wanna cry just thinking about it. Great cover!

This is the perfect example of why music is one of the greatest experiences life has to offer. It's amazing how just hearing music old or new in a certain context can create so much emotion.

This scene and music hits on a whole new level if you've lost someone and blame yourself that you're gone. Idk why one day dad and I were upstairs just organizing stuff. You know how you get random stupid thoughts in your head that you just brush off cause they're stupid. I just looked at him as he was talking to me and my brain goes 'he has cancer'. Thought pressed a bit and I'm like Lin come on thats stupid. Didn't say anything. Little over a year later. Stage 4 cancer and he's given 2-3 months to live. He was diagnosed Sept 2012 and made it until July 2013. Everyday I wake up thinking if I had just said that nagging little thought outloud it would have made a difference and I blame myself everyday.

I'm just so so over-joyed more people are recognizing just how great this song is.

The first thing I thought after watching that scene was 'SAMUEL KIM HAS TO MAKE A REMAKE OF THIS OR I WILL THROW HANDS". Definitely one of the best, if not THE best scene in stranger things.

It's a bittersweet song because it's not just anyone's favorite, it's hers. "If only I could make a deal with God to swap our places" That shit *hits*

Reading the comments, I had tears of how many people are closely related to this series and notice a deeper message. From the first episode, I felt something more and was fascinated by the atmosphere. I am numerological 11, a modern shaman reborn after 7 years of initiation and awakening of consciousness. This film took me to the world of science fiction, which allowed me to more delicately and freely understand my earthly mystical paranormal experiences. Lightworkers, May the Force be with you ! ! !
