If I only could...
Any chart updates?
Kamen simply couldn’t find anyone who wanted to sing this melody. At first, Kamen thought that a woman should sing this song, that it should represent Maid Marian’s feelings for Robin Hood. But women kept turning Kamen down. Kate Bush wasn’t interested. Annie Lennox was interested, but she wanted to sing the song in Olde English, and that wasn’t going to work.

She's still in the Devon house I think. The story about it falling into the sea has been going round for YEARS and pops up every now and then (similar to herself really!)Where does she live these days? I've just read on a local news site that she lives in Devon on a house about to fall into the Kingsbridge estuary (or Running Down That Hill ), but I thought she lived in Oxfordshire.

She definitely goes out to plays and gigs. She was spotted at a Radiohead gig a few years ago, and someone I know who is a choreographer said she came to his show and went backstage to meet the cast. All in London.It sort of does make me think that she probs is a recluse pretty much. Or goes out in heavy disguise.
That's her trying to push Elton down to the ground to save him
She actually WASN'T a recluse, until she left her house and ran into Lulu, and after that day she threw away her iPhone and vowed never to leave the house again.

The very fact that she isn't huddling with them says everything you need to know!I'd rather know LESS about the company she KEEPS after this picture!
I loved almost all of Running Up That Hill but there were a couple of things which bothered me. One was the snare sound: really 80s and quite generic. Then as I got more and more into the lyrics and they touched me further, it occurred to me that the tempo of the song was a little bit fast for the gravitas of the lyrics to really land. We were already in the habit of covering our favourite songs from the 80s, so I suggested that we do Running Up That Hill but that we slow the tempo down as much as we could without it becoming a dirge, and obviously we wanted to keep it electronic with sounds from the early 2000s.
Bitch, you FAILED!so I suggested that we do Running Up That Hill but that we slow the tempo down as much as we could without it becoming a dirge
No song has ever had this problem.the tempo of the song was a little bit fast
Obviously the avalanche of media attention it's still getting is carrying it, but it's only riding it (and receiving it) because of what you say, evidently. Hype will only ever get you so far.I must admit that I am pleasantly shocked and somewhat surprised that RUTH is still going strong. I had rather expected it to fizzle out after the initial buzz/hype or whatever you want to call it. I can't believe that for the past three weeks I have been actively interested in the charts for the first time in at least a decade. I like to think of all of this as a testament to a truly great song by a truly great artist.
I had a sneaking regard it would hang around. It has such cross generational mass appeal, with the backdrop of not only Stranger Things but the media curiosity with it's revival. I'm sure we're mere days away from Drake and Ed Sheeran releasing a planet conquering duet but I've enjoyed her sojourn.I must admit that I am pleasantly shocked and somewhat surprised that RUTH is still going strong.

I'm not that bothered if it plummets down the charts. If nothing else, it has given me a kind of closure with those naysayer friends of mine who used to ask "Why do you listen to that mad old witch?". The same friends who are now praising her for her talent, whilst discovering her back catalogue for the first time but are also trying to make out that they've always been a fan. It's been difficult to resist a smug "I told you so"...It will be interesting to see how it performs once it dips from #
