Peter Gabriel - Don't Give Up (ft. Kate Bush)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 เม.ย. 2012
- The official Don't Give Up video. Directed by Godley and Creme.
A standout track from Peter's fifth studio album and the first one to have a proper title: So was a watershed release in his career. Its marriage of the artistic and the commercial made for an indisputable success, with the album quickly sitting atop the album charts on both sides of the Atlantic.
Aside from some intriguing collaborations - with Laurie Anderson on This Is The Picture, Kate Bush on Don’t Give Up and Youssou N’Dour on In Your Eyes - it was the unity of singer, band and producer that made So such a crucial record in the Gabriel canon.

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 face, I've changed my name
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 that I could be affected
Thought that we'd be 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
Don't give up
Don't give up
Don't give up

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.
Inspirational brother. Continue doing him proud as I can assure you he still sees you 🤜🤛
Thank you for your service Patrick , Take care of yourself mate!
sorry /i lost my dad as well
Sorry for your loss, I know what it feels like believe me, my wife passed 8 years ago and I still miss her, been alone ever since 'cos no one can replace her and no one ever will ! God it's hard !!!
Awsome story
Stay strong 💪
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

I'm so sorry for your unimaginable your loss , your daughter living on in others & is a miracle that I hope brings you some comfort I can't even imagine your heartbreak .. 😢
🌹❤️

Lucky Peter Gabrial we all wanted to hug Kate Bush
Lucky Kate Bush we all wanted to hug Peter Gabriel is more like it lol
Anyone here still 2024 ❤❤
We are 2027.. is it ok? Time trąbek..
Always, this is currently my song for my battle with stage 4 cancer
Yes listen to it now
❤❤❤
Ihr seid nicht allein !
Rest in peace Matthew Perry. 💔 I've just seen an interview of him where he said he'd listen to this song and it helped him with his battle with addictions.
To anyone struggling with mental health and/or addiction, don't give up. ❤
They played this at his funeral :(
@@corinnecourtney2307 😢
they played it at his funeral.... how appropriate; goodbye for now Chandler; when you see my little sister tell her we are not giving up either!
You always belonged.
Now, you are with the lord in heavenly peace.
Rip Matthew 😢🖤
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
OMG your comment touched me. So so pleased you found happiness :-)
thank you :)
God bless you, Dianna. Prayers to you.
Oh dear Dianna I’m so glad to read your testimony. Thank you for sharing. How wonderful to know all that has happened to you despite such hardship. Love from France
That's wonderful Dianna. Bless you and well done. Wow, the power of music always amazes me.
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
Бог любит тебя
@@user-wj3zq1dw1d Not sure what you put, (no translate) but thank you. x
It sure is, doesn't stop us from forgetting that life does indeed go on. Even when you're absolutely certain it won't. Not all wounds heal, but time dulls the pain.
@@user-wj3zq1dw1d No translation for what you put, but thank you. ❤️
Thank you for sharing your beautiful story ❤️
I'm so glad you found a better path. God bless you. You are loved ❤
Kate Bush is the supportive wife every man needs
It's a partnership, for every good man is an excellent woman. Tell me I'm wrong!
I sure would like a wife like Kate Bush!😉
This song has probably saved more lives than any other song ever written. Stunningly beautiful.
True
I'm one. This song got me through a lot of hard times.
The most uplifting song of all time...
Mine was saved from it.
@@eddiemoore7562 keep on rocking dude.
One of the most powerful songs for anyone struggling.
Yes. Masterpiece.
❤❤❤
I keep returning to it
👍💞😍
❤🇬🇧❤️
Who's still loving this song in 2024 ! , this was played loads in the 80's when I was growing up
Me ❤️
Me too. ❤ 61 now and missing the 80's. Most "music" now is garbage.
I have bipolar been going through cancer and just found out today I'm going blind I'm only 52 . I'm crying this song goes straight to My heart
🙏
Don't give up, I promise you will know peace.
Just hold on, nothing is solid in the rock. Ask God to show you what you need to do. Spirit is never sick. You can heal from all os life diseases, just connect back to the words of God and have faith. You have your life in front of you. Give yourself permission for a better life. Doctors clean the wound, and God heals. Blessings
Praying for you
Я из Украины.У нас война!Это страшно!Нас убивают!Но мы не сдаёмся!Вы тоже не сдавайтесь!Все будет хорошо!
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
I also came here because of Matthew Perry. This song meant a lot to him, and he felt it was the soundtrack to his life. May he rest with the angels and may you find the peace you need - perhaps Matthew’s story, which I recommend you read (I read it a year ago when it came out) will help you overcome your struggles. He would feel his life was worth all the hardships if he knew he helped someone. May you find peace tonight, whatever you are. You matter. Never forget that.
So glad you never gave up. And we will always remember Mathew. 😢
I am listening to this song because of Matthew Perry's death. I hope you are overcoming your mental health problems and alcoholism. If you need someone to talk to. I am all here.
May we all encounter the peace we need. I trust God will keep on guiding us, we just have to open to the sincronicities, since I also came to the video through M. Perry.
Matthew Perry mentioned this song in a interview. Said he would like it to be the soundtrack to his book if there was one. He also signs all the books “Don’t give up” above his name.
One thing I truly love about TH-cam is being able to listen to music and read the comments to find out what the song meant to others.
It's like listening to it with fresh ears... knowing what others have been through and still going strong! I love that there is a place to connect people through music. Makes me realise that we arent so different from one another after all. Sending love to everyone in these comments. 🖤
likewise... the comments on this song all have such humanity.
I also agree love reading how it also helped so many people like me 🙏🇦🇺
@Birdy Jax - I absolutely agree with you ❤️ it's so beautiful to read comments of all people from all parts of the world sharing their memories and feelings. Music is really connecting people, old and young generation from the whole world, it's very beautiful 😍🙋
Right back at you. ❤️
❤️❤️
I have been fighting with addiction since i was in my twenties. I am 48 today. I met my wife 12 years ago, she saved me in a way. When things get clearar every minute now, i feel more hopeful and i want to live. Keep fighting people, life can change. Viva L' amore
I’m a British working class man(albeit educated) the mid eighties were like that. Exactly like that. I watched proud hard working people robbed of their dignity. Broke my heart.
Indeed. I was born in 1981 and remember the hardships as a young working-class child very well. My politics have changed, shifted and evolved over the decades - I'm very much a "small c conservative" - economically centrist and mildly socially conservative - but I will never forgive or forget what Thatcher and the Tories did (and continue to do) to the working classes.
I am from communistic Poland (still) and Warsaw pact, the socialism and democracy are a scam for all the mass media oriented, not looking for truth (so stupid) people :(
Because of Thatcher? Eviscerated labor class?
Bang on.
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!
Condolenes and a 🫂 hug friend! Most people never have a relationship as you had. Some people never have a chance to say Bye. I’m glad you did and have a lot of memories most won’t know.
God Bless you sir
Sending good thoughts. I lost my soul mate nearly 11 years ago he was only 42. Life continues but having a random mad Kate night x stay strong. Early days for you x
@@rowanhiggins3376 Thanks for your kind words Rowan
😿
Love this! Thanks Matthew Perry, just heard you suggest this song. I’m gonna share it with my husband, he will love it! The vocals are so beautiful. ❤
That's how I got here too, just watched his interview. He will be missed 😪
Me too.
He sent me here, too xoxo. He will help ppl even more by sharing this song with a wider audience ❤
I nm here because of Matthew Perry...RIP
Me too
This song arrived just in time for many people💞
This was one of my brothers favorite songs. Today was his birthday. He was a marine and passed away at 36 years old. He knew 7 languages fluently. So sad. God will see that we see our loved ones again.
God found a multilingual Angel. ❤
God bless you and your family. 😢 I just discovered this song (thanks Matthew Perry) & going to share with family still struggling w/ addiction 🙏🙏🙏
❤
😢❤
Toutes mes condoléances ❤
Watched this for the first time today thanks to a Matthew Perry interview. Even after he is gone, he is still making good things happen to people he didn't know.
I think he’d be smiling down from heaven knowing that. ❤
Such a beautiful comment. He isn't remembered just for Friends, which was what he wanted. ❤
@@melaniel7263Definitely 💗💔💔
That comment went straight to the heart. Beautifully said. 💔
Probably the most platonic love song ever written. It's not about feeling romantic feelings for another, or lust, or desire, it's about truly loving someone to the point that you want them to stay around because they make your world a better place. I appreciate a song that can touch into those emotions
I was describing this song the other day with those exact words. This is love, real love.
Me too. (I think I understand what you mean. As well as Kate.)
The song is about the about harsh economic conditions in the UK during the early-80s. Character in song is an out of work man unable to find a job as are the many of others like him.
It's amazing what you wrote. I agree
Very well put. Was a tough time in the UK while the Iron lady was in office. A song of hope 😊
Honestly, it's almost 2024 and still waiting for a duo as brilliant and beautiful as this one...
❤
I'm sorry friend, but I doubt we'll ever see a duo like this and especially one with such a great song. It's timeless.
Agreed, both excellent, together- Wow!
They both knew exactly how to make each other shine. Lovely… and a powerful duet.
Captian & Tennille they're the next big thing...that is if Hall & Oats don't!
And if neither of them then, Flo & Eddy will!
I live in Argentina and as a teenager I saw my father, like so many men, lose his job in the ninenties. There were so many men that no one needed, and my dad was one of them. I saw his desperation as he took off everymorning and came back empty handed in the afternoon, for two years he was unemployed...and this song brings it all back. He never gave up. And for that I thank him.
Бог любит тебя
Hell ya, your dad's a hero.
I lost my son to suicide 3 years now, still feels like yesterday! This song is one I wished I had shared with him! Tears flow every time I listen. Find comfort in the memories I had and continue to pray for all that have gone through what my family has. We all have a purpose in this world! As the song goes, “Don’t give up”
I lost my son and this song is like church!!!
My heart literally broke reading this.
Siento mucho tu perdida..
🙏🙏
May GOD give you the strength for your loss🙏🙏🙏
I just watched an interview Matthew Perry did about his book. He mentioned this song. I wasn't familiar with it so I looked it up. Damn, I wasn't prepared for the emotions! This is an old song but it couldn't be more relevant today. So many people suffer in silence, isolate themselves. Matthew said, "Raise your hand, tell people you're struggling, you need help. DON'T GIVE UP."
Me too
I thought the same. I use to sing along to it. But now I'm actually listening to the words. RIP Matthew Perry, another loving caring man gone too soon. Forever remembered 🩵
❤ think everyone came here to comment because of M.P.
He somehow led everyone to find this beautiful song.
RIP. You legend❤ forever in so manys hearts 💕
RIP Matty! Another gone to young💔
@@sharneduplessis9279Rip Mr .Perry thank you for the laughter
Such an emotional video of them holding each other, clinging to each other, not letting each other go. So pure, so beautiful. Its genius in its simplicity.
Yes! And the eclipse of the sun in the background🥲
Really not sure what is touching me more….
the Song, the lyrics of Just the way they hold each other…….
So right. This glorious song lasts six and a half minutes but seems to only last three minutes. It ends too soon. Most modern songs last three minutes but seem to go on for six and half minutes.
Sono belli
This is the very first CD I bought. SO By Peter Gabriel, 1986. I still have it. I listened to it tonight. Bought it FOR this song.
Happy 74th Birthday Peter Brian Gabriel 02/13/1950 in Surry, England.
A living legend in the progressive rock genre.
From Garden Wall to Genesis to his solo albums. Musical perfection.
Cheers Peter Brian and many more..
we saw him last year and i saw him in '86
love him til the day I die
Not forgetting his Real World studio recordings and i think he started WOMAD? Some great achievements there also. ty
Saw him 5 months ago! Loved him and his excellent music since the early 70's. And yes, I'm old, but I still and always will rock out to wicked awesome tunes like this! ❤❤❤
Who’s here after Matthew Perry saying this song was his anthem? ❤️✨🕊️
Here with a broken heart, like so many others 💗🙏💗
Me!
You are enough ❤
Ok I'm Shaw their someone on the other side waiting❤
❤❤❤
This song saved me when I was raped when I was 14. I've returned to it over and over again. It reminds me I'm still alive,and while I live there's hope that one day, one day things might actually be ok. I'm 50 now, and I still haven't given up.
Nobody important . You're important girl.
lets up he get his come uppance
God bless you keep strong xx
Don't give up ❤
so close to giving up right now.. this song is really easing the pain momentarily
"don't give up, we're proud of who you are"...the most beautiful words one person can heard for himself❤️

RIP to Matthew Perry. I listened to this song in high school and as a young adult a lot, too. I hope your soul and mind can get the rest they so badly needed. I feel you, man.
😢😢😢
That was Beautiful and I hope so too! So many of us are prisoners to addiction!
This is one of those songs that has a message for everyone . Another one is dontlet the sun go down. On me
Praying for you wooloo and amymccrea. And all who are struggling with addiction, their sobriety, and so many other things in life that are so difficult like abuse, mental health issues, heartache, loss, health issues, etc. We are all one race… human. And being human is to be there for each other. You’re not alone. Prayers and love. 🙏🏼💜
May 2024 to anyone struggling know your not alone ❤ Be kind to yourself you matter ❤️🙏
Never seen or heard this song at 49 years old! Thank you Matthew Perry !
This song and album saved my life when I was 28 years old with 2 small children, fighting the worst depression in my life. It was a lullaby that Got me through excruciating pain. I still weep . Thank you PG and Peace be with you all. Don't Give Up❤️❤️Fight like Hell

I was at the train station one day with my headphones in and I was about to take my own life until this song played, so here I am today. Thank you Kate Bush and Peter Gabriel 💖
Żyj długo i szczęśliwie ❤️. Pozdrawiam z Polski. 😘
I am so happy you’re still here. Life is too beautiful to take it. I know it might not always go easy it’s not always just piece and cake. Sometimes we need to fight, sometimes we need to work. But after all it’s worth it because life has so much waiting for us. And if you’re feeling bad talk about it with people. I’m also here if you need someone. I just want to say you are loved even though sometimes you might feel you’re not. Sending you all my strength and love! Thanks for still being here :)))
@@Ilovestrangerthings011 I really needed this. thank you. thank you thank you. so many kind and selfless strangers out there in that scary world, yourself included. you have a good heart
@@kai326 You are so welcome. If you ever need someone to talk to I'm right here! I wish you all the best and know that you are loved. :)
love this song but allah who prevents me from nett end to my days when I remember that allah will never forgive me for this cruel act and that all my age does not deserve to be erased because of anger or because problems i love the songs but i won't let them influence my life
I've always thought of this as my wife and I's song.....and then I had a cancer fight. WOW, did it really become our song. I'm here, 10 years later, cancer free, working full time, and living a good life.
If you ever find someone who really loves this song, and also really loves you, marry them. They get what marriage really is.
My mom just died , very close. This song makes me feel better.
Matthew Perry said he wanted this to be soundtrack of his life. It’s beautiful. He was beautiful.
Of his book.
unfortunately he listened to his cravings more.NEXT !
My daughter died at the age of 28, almost 10 years ago, after a 13 year valiant struggle with cancer. She was amazing - graduated high school 1st in her class, varsity athlete, graduated college, got married!, worked full-time until two months before she had to leave us. Miriam NEVER gave up. To this day, this beautiful song brings me to tears.

love to you, may your daughters memory be a blessing
I'm so sorry for your loss x

Greatgreat loss my dear. Don't cry for her departure instead thank the Lord our God for the 28years He gave your daughter to you. I pray for your scars to heal soon...
God bless you

Beautiful lyrics and wonderful collaboration❤ RIP Matthew Perry as you are missed and loved.
Sad for him and reason doctors should not over prescribe drugs and make addicts out of stars
There is a “friend” who sticks closer than a brother. May you be in His loving arms now. R.I.P. Beautiful Matthew!
Rest in peace and power, Matthew Perry. I just read that this song was played at your funeral and I can see why there wasn't a dry eye in the house. I know you were there watching over all of your loved ones as they said goodbye to your earthly self. But your soul will live on forever, and you will be with them all as they continue on in their respective life journey's. And you will meet again, face to face, soul to soul, in time. Love lives on forever. It truly never dies. Keep shining onward, Matty. You are and were so loved. xoxoxoxoxo
I ALWAYS LOVED MR BING IN FRIENDS HE WAS BRILLIANT AND SOME FANTASTIC LINES.
HE AND JOEY WERE A COMEDY DOUBLE ACT.
Beautiful🤍🪽
was an alcocholic and 4 years ago i had a stomach bleeding , then my eyes opened and stopped drinking directly , like matthew says its a disease . i wish matthew was still here with all his friends and with us , and i hope that he still can help people with his book just like he wanted . and i really hope he is in a better place . this song will be playing more for me now , and matthew will be in my thoughts .
RIP Matthew Perry - this was his favourite song & favourite video.
Matthew Perry will be remembered for not giving up, for realising the most important thing - IT’S NOT YOUR FAULT.
He will also be remembered for making everyone laugh & helping millions by being vulnerable.
He helped, he loved, he lived, he seeked the truth. Rest In Peace friend.

Just want to say thank you to best female and male vocalists in my era....I'm 67 😂
I'm not Kate or Pete, but I give good hugs! Here's one! ***HUGGG***
Me too ❤❤❤
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 face, I've changed my name
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 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
Gonna 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
Thanks 🙏🏽
"Don't give up, 'Cause you have friends.' Knowing this gem was played at Matthew Perry's funeral is both comforting and heartwrenching. Thank you for all the laughs, you're a forever gem.
Matthew's belief kept him going, he was such a warrior, so hard to keep going when you are struggling, and despite all the darkness he kept fighting for his life over and over again.

Я Вас тоже обнимаю!
I know no one cares but I've dealt with severe mental illnesses and an eating disorder and have recently experienced a serious relapse. I came back to this song because this song reminds me not to give into this addiction and choose life. Specifically the lyrics "we're proud of who you are" reminds me that I have family who support me. "Whatever may come, and whatever may go, that river's flowing" are so beautiful too because it reminds me that life goes on regardless of what happens, just because things are rough it doesn't mean everything will stop. This song remains brilliant over the years.
There's always someone who cares, even if it's the random stranger who nods to you as you pass to bid you good day
Yep no one cares suck it up buttercup
Don't give up! I too suffer from depression. I'm much better now that my focus is on God. He's filled a huge hole in my life and it's no wonder because He made me! He's always there for you to call on Him. Then find a church to call home. Don't give up, you have friends or will have soon. I'm praying for you right now! 🤗
Matthew. Someone cares. They may not be local to you, but don't give up on people that care. I now care for you and send you a cwtch
@@redsidebiker suck it up buttercup
So deeply saddened by Matthew’s passing. In the middle of his memoir. Rest comfortably in peace Matty. You will be missed ❤❤❤
Listening to the lyrics and the fact this was played at Matthew Perry's funeral is so heartbreaking. Feels weird to grieve someone I've never met 🥺
But the thing is, we truly feel like we DO know him, that's how his gentle spirit and kind heart made us feel. I'm right there with you 💔❤️💔
So true😢
It’s not weird 😢
Love him hope the afterlife is nice to him. I really wanted one more friends episode lol, never again
When people come into your home regularly on television they feel like a family member. That's why it hurts
This is probably the only song on TH-cam where I've liked pretty much every single person's comments. What a powerful song. Helped me through my depression in the early 90s. I owe a lot to Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush 🙏🙏
Don't give up .. Yet!
Haha yeah me too. Fucking crying my eyes out liking almost every comment. Then I run into yours and busted out laughing. Thanks
You know it's a universal great song when you read the comments and see how much it has affected so many over 40 year
Every time I hear this I’ll always think of Matthew ❤ RIP legend
Matthew Perrys favourite song. Had to listen again after the sad news. Some quotes below from Matthew about the song, and his Memoirs' final words on not giving up.
"I realize all over again that I'm so lucky to have been in this business, to have had not just access to extraordinary people, but to have also been able to affect people the same way something like "Don't Give Up" by Peter Gabriel affects me (let's not discuss the video with him hugging Kate Bush; it's almost too much to bear)."
...
"The one thing I got right was that I never gave up, I never raised my hands and said, "That's enough, I can't take it anymore, you win". And because of that, I stand tall now, ready for whatever comes next. Someday you, too, might be called upon to do something important, so be ready for it. And when whatever happens, just think, 'what would Batman do?' and do that."
I'm listening to the audiobook and it brought me here ❤
I am trying to recover from PTSD after 30 years of service.
This song speaks to me…
You have friends. I don't know you but I know you. You still have us. We don't need much of anything. You understand?
im here to if u need me
You are a warrior William. You've been through things that most would only experience in their nightmares, whatever they may be. Don't give up. Thank you so much for your service. This world is a safer place because of men like you. I know that doesn't help with the pain but please know how grateful we are to you 🙏
God bless you bro
My best wishes from 🇬🇷
Dont give up!!
Your wanted and needed !! :) Don't give up :)
OMG 🥺 reading that this song was played during Matthew Perry’s final goodbye breaks my heart all over again. And it rings so much truth to his journey and the fact that he was sorrounded by people who loves him and are his friends 🥺
Sleep easy, legend 🙏🏼
Matthew Perry ❤ You're at sweet peace now and I just listened to this beautiful song for the first time with tears streaming down my face. My husband has this beast to battle daily and I found myself again by raising my hand first to help him one day at a time! We are both sober and just danced to this song celebrating our 1st year of sobriety, twirling around into our 2nd year praying every single day saying these 3 beautiful words together ❤️ ' DON'T GIVE UP! " I will always remember you and you will continue to always be my favorite friend. Sweet peace Matman, Chandler Bing, Matthew Perry, and everyone's forever friend. ♥️
Beautiful

Fantastic
das stimmt
Agreed!!
"This song is actually a timeless masterpiece", but yes.
Absolutely. It will never get old.
I lost my mom two months ago and saw Peter live yesterday. It was like my mom was talking to me through his voice.❤
So sorry for your loss. 😞
She is your Angel now.❤
I lost my mom 😢😢😢😢 si sorry for your loss.......😢😢😢
Courage you're much stronger than you realize 💪❤
So yes, this song is just for you: don't give up, whatever you have to go through in your life, this is exactly what your loving Mum should have say to you. Be strong and confident that, as from now, you have an Angel looking after you.
Wir sind alle Menschen auf dem einzigsten Planeten des Universums , lasst uns gemeinsam alt werden in Frieden und Freundschaft.
I have a mother who listened to this song on repeat for several months in her darkened bedroom after she suffered from a complete mental breakdown when I was in Jr. High. She would listen to this song for hours at a time laying there in her bed crying. I have had a hard time listening to this song for most of my life but now that I am nearly 42 ...I understand why she had chosen this song to help pull her out of the darkness... It really is a beautiful song. Positive lyrics that helped my Mom get out of the storm. Thank you✌️.
Your mother sounds like how I feel lately. Thank you for showing her grace. ❤️
GOD BLESS!👏❤
thank you for understanding the adult world, i know it should not be like that
Cyber hug your waY

Kate Bush has a hauntingly beautiful voice. Cannot be duplicated.
Kind of. I think Robyn has a very similar sounding voice. th-cam.com/video/-ojHWQrm4UM/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=EmbassyOne
Perfect 🥰
Tori Amos has…
Dee Dee. Same for Peter Gabriel. This was a perfect pairing, voices compliment each other. Luv it even after all these years.
True. Kate is unique. There is also a very moving live version of this with Pink singing the Kate Moss part. It's different, but also deeply felt, gives me chills.
Matthew Perry's song. 😢😢❤❤❤ He'll never be forgotten.
Thank you Matthew Perry! Rest in peace in the golden light of eternity.❤
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
Dont give up!
I have shared your pain. The sense of abandonment and worthlessness is indescribable.
It gets better.
Every day, every week. Dark clouds come. And the wind of time will scatter them.
You are not alone. Though separated from others who have known the pain. We are legion.
The same shit happened to me 2 years ago. I heard this song for months and months. It will hurt forever.
going through something similar. don't give up.
One back to you. She will be sorry. May you find peace and someone else. Xx don't give up Ever! My Ex led a double life. X
My god, I need a hug like this lol.

Lost my dad yesterday he never give up he had a hard life but he never stop living he had a disability but he was strong rip dad
Fly High Matthew! Wishing you have a peace! Love you and miss you for the rest of my life!
Yesterday I watched Matthew Perry's ( Chandler ) interview and he said this song helped him thru his recovery. I had never heard it so here I am. Thanks Chandler for holding on and still being here with us 💕
Yes! I watched that interview. Matthew’s honesty, laying himself bare in front of that audience and in his book will surely help countless people in need. I recognised the song as soon as he mentioned it, but I’d forgotten just how the simplicity of the video keeps the focus on the words. Beautiful pairing of two great talents.
Same
Same ... tears.
Link? I want to see that interview
You can listen to the 8 hour audio book on You Tube. I listened to it all day today & just got done.
I'm a retired addiction counselor. I hope that everyone out there struggling with an addiction will listen to this song and take it to heart. You do have friends out there, maybe people you haven't met yet, who can help. You are not alone and you are profoundly loved. Don't give up. Reach out for help.
I have complex post-traumatic stress disorder and sometimes it got so hard dealing with it,it felt like I couldn't go on.
I didn't give up though and now after 31 years of intense effort I'm experiencing the best life I've ever had. I'm so glad I didn't give up! There are a lot of amazing people out there who are willing and able to help.
I am going to start a job as an addiction counsellor soon. Is there anything you would advise me? I have been thinking about the offer over and over and I am torn.
Don't give up
@@judithhofweber4858
Well I've been struggling for 37 years. It hasn't gotten better. Sometimes it just doesn't
Yes. We pray them into their seats at the end of every meeting. For those for whom that is their path.
Rest in peace Matty. Was just listening to the audiobook of your autobiography. You will help more people than you know.
My Mother passed away 3 years ago and I miss her every day. Her words to me always were 'Never ever give up' no matter what it is.
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.
This song always takes me back to where I came from that darkest part of my life thirty-five years ago. It makes me recognize myself from where I came from. It brings me quickly to tears.
Thank you Peter.
Thank you Kate.
happy your are strong and life show dont give up in hope🥰❤
Warrior💪💪
Thank you ❤️
💜💜🖤💜🖤
This is so encouraging as I am going through a similar situation right now. But I won't give up! Thank you for sharing your story.
This has to be one of the most beautifully powerful duets ever sang by two people. It's as if two angels are singing it. Every note pronounced by Kate's voice seems to illuminate the soul, banishing every dark thought.
Yes....❤️
It's that good.
It's gematria... progamming.... yin and yang.... dark and light.... freemasonry... eclipse.... 9/11... twin towers... into one tower.... how did kate bush get to number one after 40 years... with an average song.... the kids would never have bought "running up that hill"... so how did it get to number one?.... it's the narrative... subliminal messages.

Never heard of this song until I read an article about Matthew Perry funeral and they played this . ❤
got here by matthew’s perry interview and I’m so glad I did it. RIP matthew you’ll be forever missed. ❤️
In the past I was a mess but on December 20th I'll have 16 years clean and sober because I DIDN'T GIVE UP !
And you keep it up too. Good luck.
Well done pal.
Way to go 👍
Damn man, I’m proud of you. Keep it up.
Happy anniversary for tomorrow John. Peter, Kate and John... legends! 💚
This song kept me alive while going through a rough patch. 10 months living in a car, sleeping in bathrooms while being a grad student. Even contemplating suicide.Today, i have a job and a safe place to stay. Never give up. Never resort to a permanent solution to a temporary problem.
God bless you.
I needed to hear this, I'm glad things got better for you.
💜🙆 Big Hug
Absolutely right! Nice one👍
Really pleased for you. Music is a great therapy. Universal feelings we all share. You are not alone
Beautiful song, haven't heard it in years but it was Matthew Perry's favorite song and I hope people who need to hear the message in this song give it a listen...Powerful
RIP Matthew Perry 🤍🕊🤍
This song 🎶 is for anyone who just needs a helping hand when things just get too much and you can't see no light only darkness x
Here I am a Brit living in the middle of a war in Ukraine and listening to this song from two fantastic artists keeps me going. We see no end to this war but the song keeps me going. X
thank you with all my heart, you are a true hero. good always wins 🇵🇱♥️🇺🇦
be brave my man and keep safe
I know how it is for all of you. I was very young then when the bloody war was raging in my beautiful Croatia. I could have gone to my uncle in Germany, but I didn't want to.
Don't give up. Never! We didn't give up for 5 long years. For 5 years I didn't know what was happening in the world. We had no support from anyone. We were alone and abandoned by everyone. They just watched and waited for our defeat. They also gave us an arms embargo.
Everyone sees how brave and skilled warriors you are.
The end will come. Nothing lasts forever. If we could do it, so can you.
Lots of strength and love to the brotherly people from Zagreb, Croatia and ty too.
Praying for you all over there,My grandparents were from Ukraine and I pray to GOD you all will be free soon and beat Putin..God is there with you all..Don't give up I watch everyday on tv whats going on over there and my heart just aches and wants peace for you all..Love you all..
May God help people on this planet find a way to end this war in the most peaceful manner. ☮❤🙏
“Don’t give up, you still have friends” such a simple line but so powerful for anyone in that situation
“Don’t give up…we’re proud of who you are.”
How she phrases it… breaks me and builds me up every time. Thank you, always, Kate.
All my soldiers have died this song keep me here alone.
MATTHEW PERRY SENT ME HERE. GOD BLESS HIM; REST IN PARADISE MATTHEW ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
Well I guess the universe wants me to stick around for some reason. I have literally never seen or heard this song before and there it sat the first video on my home page. Been feeling like hell n crying for days. I honestly have never in my life had something be so needed as this song was at that moment.
Big love to you Victoria ❤️
Of course the universe needs you! You are one of a kind. You are needed more than you know .
It's a song I listen to when I feel bad it lofts me up never give up hun
We are all one, Victoria. We need you and love you.
There are no coincidences in our universe. You were meant to see and hear it at that specific time.
It's a synchronicity.
Looking at comments, this song has given hope and resolve to so many people. Music is so wonderful and powerful.
Isn't it though!
Amen to that, if not for this song I wouldn't be hear, 😔🙏💝
😘
🔥❤️🔥
Love is always music to the ears soul awakening always.,🙏👍✌️😔🙏💙🤙
I’m here because of Matthew!! The world is heartbroken over his passing!! His memory & legacy will live on forever!! I’ll love & miss him forever 🕊️💔👼🏻
The one where we all met here, bc of our “friend” Matty. ❤ May he rest in Heavenly peace 🕊️ ✨
If Peter Gabriel is all of us, then Kate Bush is the angel we all deserve.
That is so true..
I think 🤔 about this song like ... 'Yeah, I won't give up' ... I think there are days when we could all use a good six minute hug ... pretty sure that's how the slow dance was invented 🙃✌🥰
Well said 🙌
Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush two angelic voices. Marvellous voices
Hoy en día no hay talento para hacer canciones así.disfrutamos de ella por suerte.
@@josemariasilvablazquez2521es verdad. Maravillas como estas se están extinguiendo.
Silence! we are unworthy xD

I felt this piece very deeply when I first heard it in the 80’s. It still sticks.
Legend and friend to all of us Mathew Perry brought me here. I can resonate to this song, not in the same capacity I never drank or use drugs. But I suffered from another addiction, I let go of the love of my life and I’m heartbroken 💔 and sometimes it’s hard to go on, my life got so hard everyday is a struggle, I wake up and go to sleep with the same pain, trying to pull myself up everyday. Please pray for me 🙏🙏😞
You will get through the hard times just let Yourself be in this sadness later it will transform in to something wonderful ..it will soon get better..DON'T give up..
May your life journey brings you to the kind love and strength, sending love 💜
Definitely don’t give up. Look around. Reach out.
lol I say as the last few tears leave my face
As a musician , I can hear how cleverly composed this song is and the constant shift from minor to major keys. When You hear PG in his despairing voice stating his loss and sadness it's in the minor key denoting sadness and solemnity. When KB provides her encouragement and comfort in her beautiful haunting voice, it's in the major key which always sounds bright, glad and happy! Very clever. There are few soungs which have this constant shift between types of keys!
