Cloudbusting (YouTube)
The fourth season of Netflix’s Stranger Things has put Kate Bush’s song Running up that hill at the top of streaming charts around the world, and
Cloudbusting was the next single from her Hounds of love album. It tells the tale of Wilhelm Reich and his young son Peter, and their quest to build a cloudbusting machine to make it rain. The video starred Donald Sutherland as Wilhelm, Bush as Peter, with Terry Gilliam as co-creator. It was filmed in Oxfordshire’s Vale of the White Horse, with the cloudbuster (built by the team who made the Alien model) standing on Dragon Hill.
