Music heals the soul, and this couldn’t be truer for Max Mayfield (played by Sadie Sink), who in Stranger Things 4 found herself trapped in the hands tentacles of Vecna in the Upside Down.
Max was only rescued when her physical self, tethered to the real world, was made to listen to her favorite song, Kate Bush’s Running Up That Hill. Thanks to this episode, the 1986 track topped Billboard’s Hot Rock & Alternative Songs Chart in the year of 2022.
If that scene made an impact on you—as it had with legions of fans and, of course, Kate Bush—you’d likely have wondered which song would save you from the cusp of death. Luckily, you won’t have to be the recipient of one of Vecna’s visitations to know. Netflix and Spotify have partnered to bring you your personalized Upside Down Playlist, along with your one “savior song.”
The curated playlist comprises some of your old and new favorites—“all high-energy, empowering, and inspirational,” describes Netflix—peppered with some Stranger Things classics.
