Paula is utterly compelling -- soulful, warm, vulnerable, authentic, radiant and beautiful. I was fortunate to see PG live with this ensemble over a quarter of a century ago on the Secret World tour, and this version of this song -- my favourite of all his great works -- moved me deeply then and just gets deeper in meaning and even more moving as I get older. Now, more than ever, we all need hope to retain the heart and resilience of our humanity, and this wonderful performance gives hope and brings solace.
Paula really nailed this. And that's an achievement because I was genuinly captivated by Kate Bush's voice when I first heard the original in 86. And I didn't know it was Kate Bush yet.
In my opinion this is the best version of this song, Paula absolutely kills it with the vocals. As a matter a fact in my opinion she was amazing in every song and every show with Peter on this tour. She was only 25 and killed it!
It’s a great song, was always a great song. But the addition of Paula Cole perfects it. Powerful while still full of emotion and empathy. Chills. Goosebumps.

I see many people here comparing Paula to Kate Bush (better/worse/prettier etc.) - can we all just agree that she's very much Paula Cole, here, and that she's KILLING IT? Loved Kate's version, but this is amazing on its own
Couldn't agree more. The problem is that only Kate Bush sings like Kate Bush. I agree it unfair to compare anyone to her. Each version is unique and beautiful in it's own way.
Not sure I've missed any versions of this heart wrenching song, but from all female partners, Paula wins HANDS DOWN. The others don't have soft, mellow tone and ability to present the feelings of the magnificent song that my deceased wife and I had cried over this many times as we knew our time was coming to an end. I'm crying now even though her death was 14 years ago.
This song saved peoples lives yet so many of you are bickering about who is the best. Who gives a poo? They’re all amazing artists and this song was released with the sole intent of saving lives. Let’s focus on that.
This is my favorite song. What a great performance. It's true - the main trait that "happy", successful people have in common is that they rarely give up. Hang on and keep going! That's what I'm going to do. I'm going to ride the whole damned ride and give life a chance. It's not always easy, but I like to fight. :) Cheers y'all.
I remember watching this in middle school,dealing with family/bullying issues and hearing this was definitely a balm for my troubled mind.Still stands out today.
Love the original song w/ Kate Bush. But must admit, Paula Cole does a spectacular job with her rendition of this song as well--& at the tender young age of 25 too! Can't believe I'm only now seeing/hearing this version of it for the first time.
I saw this tour stop in Worcester, Massachusetts. It was a bit of a home coming for Paula who hails from the small seaport village of Rockport north of Boston. Amazing night. Paula had never performed in front of more than 200 people when Gabriel called her up to replace Sinéad O'Connor who backed out of the tour. After just 2 days of rehearsals she was singing in arenas with 16,000 people. What a pro!
toujours adoré cette chanson , je me souviens .........don't give up ......le temps a passé ....et il n'y a pas eu de "place " qd on appartienst à rien ....................
Do tempo de Genesis, Peter Gabriel, tem um destaque especial ( The Musical Box, abriu a bea historia para todos ) ele sempre especiall. E, esses show concerto: Secret World LIve, é de uma beleza incrivel. Quem "tem" a oportunidade de escuta-lo, mesmo aqui ( eu, descobri aqui na internet) e a bela voz de Paula Cole e, todos os outros musicos. Grande presente para todos nos ! Obrigado, Sr Peter Gabriel!
Paula Cole - such an under appreciated singer - there is such purity in her voice ❤️

Paula has the voice of an angel...what a singer.❤
Whereas Kate Bush has the squawk of a little girl. She ruined the album version!
@@stavrospapadimitriou7631 okay, rein it in there, sparky.
@@LayneBenofsky No. Kate Bush is my bête noire. I fucking hate her voice!
@@LayneBenofsky ...and don't call me 'Sparky'!

Love Paula, blows Kate out of the water!!!!
@@bryanglassglass8971 wonderful performance, but listen to them back to back. Really no comparison.
and should NOT have gone to go solo......not at that time....
because she understand importance of lyrics, especially in this song
Kate is the best❤

You're right. This version is exceptionnal. No need to compare. This is so emotional.
they are both amazing!
Much better than Kate Bush a billion time
Who cares who´s best, the lyrics win everytime. I´ve been there as most of us have.
Couldn't agree more. The problem is that only Kate Bush sings like Kate Bush. I agree it unfair to compare anyone to her. Each version is unique and beautiful in it's own way.
Pezzo da brividi ❤🎉...un duetto meraviglioso, rimarra nella storia della musica.
One of the most beautiful and touching songs ever written
She was a last minute substitute for Sinead OConnor. What an awesome voice.

Yeah, this was recorded a few days after she joined the tour!
She has a voice of an Angel in every aspect of any time line.
Paula's voice is fantastic. Great duet. Peter Gabriel is fabulous. The voices compliment eachother.
Best duet I've ever listened to ever !!! X

Damn....Paula Cole. The tone of her voice is heavenly.. I love the original but this performance is by far the best version ive heard.
Love this version
Paula absolutely owns it
It is the best. No one brings more heart-felt passion to this song than Paula
This is such a beautiful song... with -inspiring vocals for all who have had a bad experience in life. Thank you Peter Gabriel & Paula Cole!!!!!!
This is my favorite song. What a great performance. It's true - the main trait that "happy", successful people have in common is that they rarely give up. Hang on and keep going!

Perfect song. It has everything. Great sensibility in Paula's voice
I saw this tour and Paula as well as every other musician on the stage just absolutely killed it! One of the most memorable shows I've ever seen.
Wow!!
She's got an amazing voice!
They work well together!
Beautiful what a song, makes the hair stand up, such a powerful song performed by pure talent !
you change your face, you change your name mais on vous reconnait M. GABRIEL ! quel talent . Merci.
This version made me cry. Beautiful ☺️
Peter Gabriel from ….. GENESIS 🎸🥁🤘
Saludos desde El Salvador 🇸🇻🏴
God I can't ever get through this song without bawling like a baby. 😭
Paula’s voice is amazing. So rich and lovely.
I still think and believe that this lady is lovely...as for P.G. well, he needs no words.....Brilliant! Thank you.
Such a beautiful song written and produced by P. G. Paula Cole was an amazing cherry on top. ❤️
Loved how she made Kate bush’s part her own
Blows Kate out of the water!!!!
...this performance is EVERYTHING!!...
A thought for 2020 DON'T GIVE UP.💞
I saw this in San Diego and it’s the most moving concert I’ve experienced.
The most beautiful duet that I have ever listened by Peter Gabriel (composer) and Paula Cole.
No need to compare Kate and Paula. They're both angels from the same Heaven.
Well said.
And Sinead!
Paula is better
*...agree but have You seen **#katebush** 's bush?*
@@enricovankeeken9503 No, and that's up to her partner either way.
Tous simplement magistral
This is one of my favorite songs. Its beautiful. I never heard it until I listened to it on this secret world tour on a pair of c.d.'s back in 1995
the best version no doubt!
I remember watching this in middle school,dealing with family/bullying issues and hearing this was definitely a balm for my troubled mind.Still stands out today.
I was there, incredible performance by both but Paula was amazing
I Love Paula Cole ! She is so Awsome.....
This is a great representation of the little voice that pushes us to continue when it seems nothing but shit falls upon us.
I saw Paula in a small club in Indiana. Wish I could relive that night
Wow, Paula Cole!
Paula Cole sings beautifully her singing range gives me goosebumps. 😊
Her voice is breathtaking. Truly ethereal.
Tremendo tema, mi versión favorita en vivo... 💙💜💛💚... te las mandaste Paula Cole
Tears every time I listen to this song
OUI, MOI AUSSI A CHAQUE FOIS MERCI PAULA
ich auch
So awesome!! Best version ever. Sorry Kate
best combination ever .... Paula and Peter :-)
Paula with the voice of an ANGEL. Chills EVERY time I hear this
Each person has his value and his moment... On this Peter Gabriel tour it was Paula Cole's moment... Only the mean and sick people compare people...
Love the original song w/ Kate Bush. But must admit, Paula Cole does a spectacular job with her rendition of this song as well--& at the tender young age of 25 too! Can't believe I'm only now seeing/hearing this version of it for the first time.
This is just amazing.Gives us all hope for peace.
One of the best Songs ever 😢❤Version, Paula😍🥰🤗👍
Incredible performances by all.
Still find this hard to listen to , after all this time. Beautiful.

The most perfectly crafted piece of music imo.
