Secret World Live is a film of a Peter Gabriel concert in 1993, as part of his Secret World Live tour to support his sixth solo album, Us. The show is performed across two stages: a square and a circular stage, bridged by a conveyor belt. It was released on VHS, LaserDisc and DVD. An album of the same title with a similar track listing was also released.
The film received the 1996 Grammy Award for Best Long Form Music Video.
The film has been remastered and became available on DVD and Blu-ray on 2 July 2012 in the UK and 24 July 2012 in North America. The new release also contains the song "Red Rain" that was not present on the original releases.
Paula Cole (born April 5, 1968) is an American singer-songwriter. Her single "Where Have All the Cowboys Gone?" reached the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100 in 1997, and the following year she won a Grammy Award for Best New Artist. Her song "I Don't Want to Wait" was used as the theme song of the television show Dawson's Creek.
Lyrics
In this proud land we grew up strong
We were wanted all along
I was taught to fight, taught to win
I never thought I could fail
No fight left or so it seems
I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
I've changed my name, I've changed my face
But no one wants you when you lose
Don't give up
'Cause you have friends
Don't give up
You're not beaten yet
Don't give up
I know you can make it good
Though I saw it all around
Never thought I could be affected
Thought that we'd be the last to go
It is so strange the way things turn
Drove the night toward my home
The place that I was born, on the lakeside
As daylight broke, I saw the earth
The trees had burned down to the ground
Don't give up
You still have us
Don't give up
We don't need much of anything
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
'Got to walk out of here
I can't take anymore
Going to stand on that bridge
Keep my eyes down below
Whatever may come
And whatever may go
That river's flowing
That river's flowing
Moved on to another town
Tried hard to settle down
For every job, so many men
So many men no-one needs
Don't give up
'Cause you have friends
Don't give up
You're not the only one
Don't give up
No reason to be ashamed
Don't give up
You still have us
Don't give up now
We're proud of who you are
Don't give up
You know it's never been easy
Don't give up
'Cause I believe there's a place
There's a place where we belong
As the leader of Genesis in the early '70s, Peter Gabriel helped move progressive rock to new levels of theatricality. He was no less ambitious as a solo artist, but he was more subtle in his methods. With his first eponymous solo album in 1977, he began exploring darker, more cerebral territory, incorporating avant-garde, electronic, and worldbeat influences into his music. The record, as well as its two similarly titled successors, established Gabriel as a critically acclaimed cult artist, and with 1982's Security, he began to move into the mainstream; "Shock the Monkey" became his first Top 40 hit, paving the way for his multi-platinum breakthrough So in 1986. Accompanied by a series of groundbreaking videos and the number one single "Sledgehammer," So became a multi-platinum hit, and Gabriel became an international star. Instead of capitalizing on his sudden success, he began to explore other interests, including recording soundtracks and running his company Real World. By the time he returned to pop with 1992's Us, his mass audience had faded away and he spent the remainder of the '90s working on multimedia projects for Real World.
Following his departure from Genesis in 1976, Peter Gabriel began work on the first of three consecutive eponymously titled albums; each record was named Peter Gabriel, he said, as if they were editions of the same magazine. In 1977, his first solo album appeared and became a moderate success due to the single "Solsbury Hill." Another self-titled record followed in 1978, yet received comparatively weaker reviews. Gabriel's third eponymous album proved to be his artistic breakthrough, however.

Back when the world was NORMAL!!! Paula Cole has a stunning voice and looked AMAZING in that dress!!

[@doctorbuga4302]

What do you mean by "World"? Russian's weren't having such a great time in '93

[@thomasj5083]

Kate Bush comparisons are pointless here. She doesn't try to mimic, she sings the part in her own style and its beautiful.

[@TheLotusWeAre]

Completely ❤

[@Grant_Ferstat]

100%

[@ltcoleman2954]

Paula is so much her own voice. Her clarity, heart and soul stir mine. Heaven. And with Peter. Pinch me! Moves me to my toes. ❤

[@nickson70]

Without doubt, two of the best voices in music. Paula was completely unmatched by anyone else.

[@joeherald7319]

I watch a lot of concert performances on the ol' KZbin. I can't think of a female performer who is more perfect in presentation than Paula Cole was at this concert

[@RicardoMartinez-oh9sq]

Gabriel got the best young female vocalist he could get, and in turn Paula Cole got the promotion she needed for success in her career.

[@Sansuiification]

For some backstory on Paula Cole´s performance, taken from the wikipedia page: "he brought Irish singer-songwriter Sinéad O'Connor onto the tour as guest vocalist, covering Askew's keyboard parts with Jean-Claude Naimro of Kassav'.[2] O'Connor left suddenly in October, and American singer-songwriter Paula Cole was quickly recruited to fill her position, earning high praise for her performance.[5] The core of Gabriel's touring band was composed of long-time collaborators bassist Tony Levin, guitarist David Rhodes, drummer Manu Katché and violinist L. Shankar. This was the first time that Gabriel used in-ear monitors on tour.[6] A few days after Cole joined the tour, the show was filmed and recorded in Modena, Italy, to produce the concert video Secret World Live." So considering the short amount of time Miss Cole had to prepare for this performance, you have to bow in awe.

[@davids1033]

Sinead O’Connor and drama?

[@Dandan-tg6tj]

Peter Gabriel is already an icon and I wasn't expecting less from him but Paula Cole took my breath away a few times. Never heard of her before. She was able to drew applause over Peter. That's something.

[@plecain]

I didn't see it mentioned in the comments and many of you may know, but her story of how she came to be on this video is pretty amazing. She had just recorded an album on a tiny boutique record label. Peter leaves a voice mail asking her to join him as a singer, she flies to to Germany for 1 rehearsal, 1 soundcheck, and then thrown out before 16,000 fans. 3 or 4 days after, made this video. If you're good…you're good.

[@seycas118]

@Paul LeCain… thanks for the background🙏🏼. Paula has a beautiful voice and I feel it’s never fair to compare voices, as each singer is unique. She sang her part of the song with so much feeling, it was perfect❤

[@TheAtticradio]

Never understood how Paula Cole did not have more singles etc. Loved her singles.

[@edsonjunior6246]

Honestly, I think she doesn't have any more singles because she hasn't accepted modeling her art to meet the demands of the market. Paula is authentic and wonderfully talented!

[@douglasalan5783]

[@3putt548]

What a voice Paula Cole has! Literally gives me goosebumps. Peter Gabriel is a genius putting it all together!

[@pasodeminick]

Sinéad O' Connor was the planned female or co-vocalist for this tour. However, she left whitout any apparent reason very few weeks before it started. Then Paula Cole, almost unknown at the time, appeared like an angel to replace her. Few reharsals at the speed of light and there she was to give her best. She was and stood superb in all senses, and thanks to this opportunity she had the chance to show that she was not only a great vocalist but also a magnificient musician.

[@rodbirch5876]

Sinead was a freak and unreliable, from what I've seen. 'love Kate Bush's version on the album, Paula does an awesome job here-kudos to her. The album, So, was huge in my life. Just epic and full of great songs. Still.

[@Roger-go6jc]

@@pasodeminick My personal favourite was with Kate Bush for this song. I just think Kate has a way of creating more depths. But your commentary on Sinead follows the usual path, so in that regard you are in good, safe company. For me, I think that she would have "achieved a solo career" regardless of Prince, because she had a soul like Kate's voice that could hold you, and you can feel the power portrayed in the voice. Sinead just had a lot more demons to control, which meant that she was not the reliable performing monkey that some people wanted her to be. And that has brought her a lot of contemptuous ridicule and mockery.

[@pasodeminick]

@@Roger-go6jc When someone is right, all you have to do is recognize it. So I did and just deleted my second comment about Sinéad. She was great and I have to admit that dealing with mental health issues is very far to be a reason to question her.

[@twilightzone47]

@JRC Paula Cole “almost unknown” ?? Take it you are under 30? Wow 😂. That’s like saying Kate Bush was almost unknown until StrangerThings made her famous, lol.

[@pasodeminick]

@@twilightzone47 In 1993 Paula Cole was almost unknown. It was only after the Secret World tour that she recorded her first record (1994). By the way, I was listening almost everyday to Bush Hounds Of Love when I was 15 or 16. I wish I would be under 30...

Man watching Peter from Genesis to solo what a journey. This lady has a beautiful voice.

[@Setmose]

Paula Cole was brought in at the last moment when Sinead O'Conner became unable to continue the tour. Here you can see she is tense and concentrating very seriously on her parts. When Peter gives her the nod of "well-done", her face brightens immeasurably for the rest of the song. She definately put her own stamp/interpretation on the song. It's not useful to compare to Kate Bush or Sinead. All have their merits. Very cool!

[@68404]

Peter dodged a bullet not getting Sinead.

[@blave549]

Wow so much hate. I've been a musician for over a half century and I think that Paula completely knocks this out of the park... This is one of my favorite YT music videos... Haters gonna hate. Oh wait, I forgot that we can each have our own opinions... OK. But I don't get it.
