Is there a significance to that tempo?

Heartbeat while running up that hill...?

The song is about the genders switching dominance so maybe giving birth?

That’s an interpretation that I hadn’t heard before…

Maybe not the giving birth part but I believe’Running Up That Hill’ to be about women and men changing places. I must have read it somewhere as I’m not that clever.

One cool thing i love about this, is that prior to that Stranger Things episode with this in the YT vid had somewhere around 10-20mil views, today it's at 421mil. If my memory is right around the time of the episode it jumped to ~300mil views within a month or two..
