by Kate Bush, has just exceeded 100 million views on Youtube, reports Variety.

The series broadcast on Netflix indeed uses this song from 1985 in several key scenes of season 4, which prompted fans to listen to it in its entirety.

The video, which had approximately 48 million views before its use in

In this title which appears on her third album,

Spoiler: the story doesn't end well.

We could have included almost the entire album

Hounds of love –

which features

Running up that Hill –

in this list, but since we only have to select a handful of songs, we kept

Cloudbusting

, an epic pop song, carried by grandiose strings and a hypnotic melody.

The song and the video directed by Julian Doyle evoke the history of the psychiatrist and philosopher Wilhelm Reich, who had invented a machine supposed to make rain (a cloudbuster), and his relationship with his son Peter.
