Peter Gabriel - Don't Give Up (ft. Kate Bush)

[@patrickscanlon544]

I almost gave up. I came back from the Gulf War broken and hopeless. I turned to the drink and isolated myself. When things were at their worst my father came and brought me home and helped me in his gentle way, where army doctors and their pills couldn’t. He made me see that there was peace and goodness in the world. He passed seven years ago and I miss him every day. I’m still strong Da.

This came out a few months before the worst year of my life. I had always wanted to be a teacher, and in October 1986 I went to Ambleside, Cumbria to join a BEd course. In June 1987 I finally had to admit that I wasn't mature enough to cope and left having given up on the only career I have ever wanted. In September my mum became ill and died in December of Acute Myloid Leukemia. She was only 54 years old and I was only 20. Over the years I have tried to overdose 3 times but luckily I never succeeded. Now I am happily married, living in beautiful Cornwall and I teach English online to children all around the world. Please don't give up. Life is precious and it WILL get better. xx

As a combat vet who struggles with mental health problems and alcoholism in a world where you feel so alone now I truly needed to hear this. Only stumbled across this video today as we received word of one of my favorite actor Matthew Perry passed away. Realizing how there’s been so many things from his interviews and book I relate to. It’s because of him I come across this song and will now hold it close to my heart and remember to not give up. RIP Matthew Perry

My wife and I use to listen to the 'So' Album every weekend when it came out back in the '80s. We loved it. This month we would have been married 35 years. She was my soul mate...She died of Motor Neuron Disease last year after I cared for her every day for 15 months. Because of her condition, she couldn't hold or hug me anymore. This song always soothes the soul. It's a beautiful song of hope and when I listen to it it's as if Kate's words are my wife's words speaking back to me. It's literally her!

Man can life hit us hard sometimes. I had a stroke 17 yrs ago and I lost all my friends for a long long time. People just didn't get what a stroke does to you, how it can rob you of your personality, your way of thinking, your everything but praise God. In the end my wife stayed with me and with such a deep love. She always believed In me and that God never leaves us or forsakes us. Well I learned how to read, write, walk and talk again and now I'm kickboxing, creating artwork and sharing hope with anyone I can. God is good and my roots just went deeper into trusting Him in the end. Hang on, whoever is reading this, God always has a way. Signed Through the valley...

Thank you for sharing your very inspirational story.

[@yama3a]

I realize this is rude on my part, but don't you think you have to have a stroke to start believing in God? Especially since it was your god who gave it to you, according to your faith, as the driving force behind everything. Somehow, several of my friends after a stroke did not develop faith in God. Thanks to the hard work on themselves, doctors, family and their entire environment, they recovered with human, not divine, help. But if it helped you, that's cool, I wish you health and many more years. I just hope that this is not an example of disgusting religious propaganda that many people use in similar threads on the Internet, looking for vulnerable, lost souls...

5 years ago my daughter was in a car accident. She had her license for a month. Her mom took the day shift and I watched over her on the night shift in the trauma center. I played this song for 3 months. I read the comments here and was fueled with hope. I prayed that my daughter would live. During those 3 months I witnessed all her friends that would visit late night. So many people showed up. I saw the human side of healthcare workers dote on her. Late at night when the friends and family left I was able to sit with her like many fathers don’t get to with a 16 year old. When the doctors told us she wasn’t going to recover, and we said our goodbyes. The time to say goodbye was a blessing, my prayers were answered; In those 16 years she lived a full life. She was an organ donor and lives on in several different recipients. I’m proud of the life she lived, and still lives by helping others. I still garner hope on her birthday and the day she passed through this song. #livelikeliv16

This song literally saved me from committing suicide as a young adult. Kicked out on the streets at 16, abusive relationship after abusive relationship, homeless, wandering from town to town, going without food days on end, sleeping rough, turning to Salvation Army shelter only to have the manager in charge of it try and molest me in the middle of the night, feeling like no one would give a shit if I lived or died..then just as I thought of ending it all to stop the suffering, I heard this song, its words reached to me. Peter's voice of despair matched my own and Kate's message haunted me...her various versions of ''dont give up..'' Especially the part where she sings, ''don't give up 'cause somewhere there's a place where we belong, rest your head you worry too much, it's going to be alright, when times get rough, you can fall back on us, don't give up, please don't give up''...really helped me to hold on and not end it all...this soon became my survival song and I can easily say that 30 years later after hearing this song, my life took 360 turn...I am now living happy, 2 beautiful teenage children, a happy home, a man who works hard, loves me and treats me with respect...thank you Peter and Kate for this song and for helping me through hell...and Kate was right..there was a place where I belonged

Les gens ne se rendent pas compte à quel point Kate Bush et Peter Gabriel sont talentueux. Vous ne verrez pas ça de nos jours. C'est probablement la chanson d'amour la plus platonique jamais écrite. Il ne s'agit pas de ressentir des sentiments romantiques pour quelqu'un d'autre, ni de désir, ni de convoitise, il s'agit d'aimer vraiment quelqu'un au point de vouloir qu'il reste avec nous parce qu'il rend notre monde meilleur. J'apprécie une chanson qui peut toucher ces émotions.

Two years before this song came out in 1986, I was homeless, abusive father, unemployed, lost my girlfriend, a friend committed suicide - and I was interned into a psychatric ward. It was only one of the lowest times in my life. My life, heart and soul was completely carpet-bombed and ripped apart. I would have done anything to hear a sincere kind word then. Thirty-five years later, I'm college educated, home owner, with other landed property, a published author, retired tenured teacher, traveled the world - and even made the world a better place by working for the UN.

Funny... I was thinking how appropriate this song will be in the coming Greater Depression when our economy crashes from debt. Everyone is leaving the Dollar Standard, due partly to OPEC greed, Biden dissing the Saudis, and as a reaction to our frequently over reaching and long-lasting political sanctions, grabbing money of anyone who ticks off the President. No one trusts that! We can't be police to a few nations and not others! We have lost as much as 1/3 of our economic power in the world, but we keep piling up paper debt. NOW Biden is trying to bail out China, the next Superpower, yet again? America has done that 3 times before. Taxpayers cannot afford it. Hang together guys - don't give up when it gets rough. God provides for even the birds.

@@Hevva67Oh good grief. Did I say that the world owes the US? No. I said our leaders owe us but failed. Maybe you've been staring at your own "inner light" too long to see how World Economic History affects us all. Perhaps your "light" blinded you. Let me help you see how what happens here involves you too. The dollar has been the world's standard currency for many decades for only 1 reason - American workers. As an American, I now pay so much for my goods and services that I have to work 50-60 hours a week to have money left to pay for a safe place to live, and it's only getting worse. How does that affect the world? We AMERICANS have personally supported OUR US economy, that prior to now, the entire world could count on to trade their goods in US dollars. We American workers made that strong dollar happen for you by working SO HARD all year. We are LUCKY if we can take more than 1 week vacation a year. You're WELCOME! My complaint is about our politicians' ruined faith with the world, destroying faith in our currency. Why would you make it about you? That dollar standard doesn't make Americans "only selfish". It means some Americans have supported our family's education. We have worked our BEHINDS off to invent and pay for a LARGE number of new and convenient things used around the world today. Are we the only ones inventing? No. Of course not. But US citizens' hard work and very expensive Insurance we pay for supports the Research and Development of medicines WE AMERICANS pay sometimes $500 per month for so everyone else in the world can have the SAME script for only $5! Our Gov makes it illegal for us to buy the cheaper drugs from your countries. We are forced to pay the high price for everyone else. That's 90% off for YOU, Dear! You're welcome! That's only ONE example how you benefit from the hard labor of United States citizens who pay high taxes and mandatory expensive insurance. You're welcome! I've clearly EARNED the right to complain about my own national economy. You have no idea what level of work Americans have upheld in the past to provide not only for ourselves, but to the benefit of everyone who uses what we pay high prices for. China stole most of our best inventions to sell them to you off slave wages. Do you like them? So is every nation interested in their own survival? Yes. Is mine? Of course! Does American Gov both hurt and help the world? Yes - all of that is true, I know. I'm not blind... but neither was my comment complaining about my President losing faith with the world egocentric, as you implied. An American President letting us slip hurts everyone everywhere. If we fail, it affects your economy too. Have you forgotten 2008? So take your self-loathing, jealous "light", and hate-filled comment elsewhere - you're peeing up a rope and getting it on everyone!

From Wikipedia: The song was inspired by the Depression-era photographs of Dorothea Lange, showing poverty-stricken Americans in Dust Bowl conditions.[1] Gabriel saw Lange's images in a book entitled In This Proud Land (1973). He felt that a song based on this was appropriate to difficult economic conditions in the United Kingdom.

Update...It's happened...I met someone else and She is the most beautiful soul I have ever known. She has gone through so much and none of it has turned her against the World. I was overwhelmed with the comments that have been shared here and it's true, Don't Ever Give Up! I truely was in the worst place I have ever been in before but I can see the light again. Love to anyone and everyone out that needs it still. 26 year relationship has come to an end because my wife stopped loving me and had an affair and is now with the 'man' she replaced me with. I'm broken in so many ways but this song reminds me that my life isn't over. Two of the finest artists ever. A massive hug to anyone else out there who needs it X

Dear Mr. Gabriel. I am 55 years old. I have followed you since my adolescence. This wonderful song, among many others, today becomes special for me. I think we all went through (and in the future will go through) very difficult times. This song will always be a beacon that illuminates the safe return home. You can't imagine the great pain I feel right now (or maybe you do) and, at the same time, the comfort that, despite my tears, this song gives me. I wish you all the happiness in the world. You deserve it. Thank you so much.

In a documentary about the recording of Peter's "So" album, a sound engineer present while Kate recorded her part said she left everyone in the session quite emotional. Yet she was unhappy with her vocals and went to her studio and re-recorded her part, but thankfully they used her original, moving version.

And all those "live" performances, that took studio versions to a whole different and higher level. "Secret World live" offers a non-stop two hours of musical genius.
