“Don’t Give Up On Us” - David Soul

TG’s Nightcap🎶
Here’s a plea to hold on, to not let go of something that feels destined, something that has been written in the stars but is now at a crossroads. Don’t let the moment of struggle be the end of what could still bloom into something beautiful. Love, real love, isn’t always easy-it requires strength, patience, and forgiveness. It means looking beyond someone’s faults, beyond their imperfections, and accepting the raw, real humanity in them. It’s not about being blind to their flaws, but about choosing to see beyond them, to see the potential and the good that still exists. We all make mistakes. None of us are perfect, but if someone is truly willing to change, to admit their faults, then maybe there’s still room for growth, for another chance. Love is not about giving up when things get tough; it’s about working through the difficult times, because sometimes, the greatest love comes from the greatest efforts. So, before walking away, ask yourself if there’s still something worth fighting for. Maybe it’s worth one more try.
Good night, and remember, Carpe Diem-seize the day, don’t let this moment pass without giving it all you’ve got.
"Don't Give Up on Us" is a hit song recorded by American-British singer David Soul, and written by Tony Macaulay.
Riding high on the success of his role in the hit TV show Starsky and Hutch, Soul returned to singing, which had been one of his early career choices. His debut, the Tony Macaulay-written-and-produced song was a worldwide smash, spending four weeks at No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart in January and February 1977, and a single week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in April 1977. In addition, the song spent one week at No. 1 on the U.S. Adult Contemporary chart. It has sold 1.16 million copies in the UK.
"Don't Give Up on Us" was rated No. 93 in VH1's 100 Greatest One-Hit Wonders because, despite having more hits in the UK, Soul was never again able to reach the top 40 in the US. Soul recorded a new version of the song in 2004, allegedly after being embarrassed when hearing it by chance in an elevator as sung by Owen Wilson in the film version of Starsky and Hutch. The film soundtrack included a cover of the song by Wilson and Neal Casal.
