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.
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 !!!
One thing I truly love about UA-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. 🖤
@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 😍🙋
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.
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”
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 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.
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
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
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.
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
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. ❤
In the past I've read a lot of hate for Kate Bush because of this song. She wouldn't go on concert with Peter to sing it with him and people hated her for it. I was just reading up on her bio tonight. She only did one concert tour ever, before the very first show one of the very important people involved fell through the stage floor 20 feet (almost 7 meters) to land on a concrete floor, and was so severely injured he died before the concert. This set the stage for a harrowing concert tour for her, and she refused to do it again. Additionally right around this time she was dealing with deaths in her close family that further traumatized her. Music had been her life since early childhood and she walked away in despair. So yes, she didn't tour with Peter and he had to find somebody else to sing the duet with live. Before you go hate on somebody, try imagining what its like to be in their shoes. Kate has an amazing voice, and had a sometimes flamboyant style similar to Peter's when he was in Genesis and the aftermath. They are incredible together on this song.
Heck, until I saw the other live performances PG was doing with other female singers here on YT, and even then I thought it was pretty cool that he performed this live just to give the song different dimensions. That's along sentence, sorry. But for all those Kate Bush haters (and I didn't even know that, for heavens sake until I read your comments) just remember, that the magic of this song, upon hearing it the first time with KB is really really hard to recapture the second time around, and especially live. Just savor the sweet, fragile yet untamed voice of Kate in this video. At 64 now, and since I was 25 when this was released on the album, I realize only now that I was looking for the WRONG THINGS in a woman as a life mate. I was totally wrong. And I seriously doubt I will get a 2nd chance.
@@allenvaughan1 Don't worry about the long sentences, I'm well known for my run-on sentences. It took me decades just to be able to START breaking the habit. But it's the way my brain works. And thanks for your positive response. You are lucky actually, I've never gotten to see Peter live, I really wish I had, the YT videos of his concerts all look awesome. And yes, Kate Bush was an incredibly talented singer. I first heard her on MTV back when they actually played music (around 85) and was hooked on her voice and the quirky background stuff in her songs along with the very interesting music itself.
@@isobeljames1328 This is not a live concert video, it's a music video recording. From what I've read she never sang it in live concert with him. This is "The official Don't Give Up video." - every live concert video I have seen had a different female vocalist. - ua-cam.com/video/98lNKjwYtaU/v-deo.html - ua-cam.com/video/uzBs-wHwl9k/v-deo.html - ua-cam.com/video/LZnPFiNIDiY/v-deo.html - ua-cam.com/video/v3SVJrTODdc/v-deo.html - so prove me wrong and find it.
Why would you hate somebody for going through all she went through. These people would want to get a crip.Totally agree with you 101%. Why would you hate anyone. They should practice compassion. They/ any of us will never know when we might be in the same position. And experience the same things as she did. Famous or not.
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
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.
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
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.
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...
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...
@@yama3a We are not grateful for the millions of electronic bits in our computer. But when one of them fails, once fixed, we are grateful for it forever.
@@danroig351 Beautiful. Philosophical ones. Did you come up with it yourself? But what does this have to do with the topic, because we are not writing about computers here? For now, we cannot buy the human brain from Intel or AMD. The service is also at a low level. If the service had not been in use, it might have been possible to cure both the effects of a cerebral hemorrhage and the disastrous effects of religion on this noble organ...
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 .. 😢
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. HR
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
@@oscardipiazza3883 thank you Oscar. I love my time visiting South America. I spent t days in Argentina and a total of 7 weeks in South America, visiting 13 countries in 1995. I did Central America the year before. I hope you will visit Ireland and I send you all my love.🇮🇪❤️🇮🇪❤️🇮🇪
I DO realise, Peter and Kate, are very very talented. In 2021, I was told Babooshka, is the Russian word for grandmother. I did not know that.I am 50, and I live in New Zealand.
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
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 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.
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."
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 💕
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.
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✌️.
My wife died of cancer over ten years ago and I still feel her in my heart. This song helps me ease the pain of loneliness and hurt I feel every waking moment. Thank you, Peter Gabriel.
That's good.same me.And Musik is for me the best Medizin,when i have extrem pain...in my leggs. I miss my Partner my hold live bud he is the hold Live by me and in me.greeting
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.
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.
A difficult morning for many. It’s ok to be scared. It’s ok to be sad. And you are not alone in those feelings. Be a light in the dark for those who feel lost too. Be kind. Be gentle. Let your compassion make you an easy safe harbour to find. Don’t give up. You are not alone. We came to this song looking for something we needed: We are here together ❤
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.
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. 🙏🏼💜
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
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.
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.
However hard things might feel right now, they can improve and there is help out there and people who care, so check out the websites of MIND and the Samaritans. A lot of us have been through similar things.
There's still a lot of life and joy to be had yet for you Linda. Take it a day at a time while figuring out the big picture improvements you want, you can make it work. Hugs to you.
Linda, I'm alone too. I know the feeling. We have to remember that we're not really alone. GOD IS WITH US. He's our friend and we can talk to Him all day, every day like He's right there in the room with us. He is. We're not alone. We're lonely. When this lock down is over, we have to go out and put ourselves in HEALTHY, social situations where we can be around healthy, supportive people. Ok? I don't know you. But I'm sending my love and support to you out there. ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏 You're not alone. Love to you.
Go ahead and feel free to write to me, Linda. This is my email: estebanmatavargasl@gmail.com If you are ready to share, I´ll be ready to listen. You are not alone, and I´ve seen my good share of shit in my time.
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.
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 🙏
This song saved my Life. From the verge of depression when I felt I am done, i was cutting myself with knife and burning myself to get rid of my depression and I didn’t know what to do. I ran into this song and started listening to this song and I told myself, you are a loser today and behind everyone else. But if you start moving forward 5 step every day and never give up one day you will catch up with the others and pass them and this will be the engine for your never ending growth and reaching to your dream destiny. I built a company, a big team, got my freedom, travelled to 65 countries and am excited to see what the rest of my journey looks like.
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
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 .
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.
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.
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.
"No one wants you when you lose" So true, everyone expects you to take all life sh*t without ever complaining... and when you finally let a cry for help they don't remember how strong you stand times before.
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 💖
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
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
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.
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.
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.
"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.
This song goes out to my daughter whi is suffering from Depression and ADD/ADHD. Don't give up my dear your father loves you and believes in you and we will get through this. Better days are ahead. I sent this to her to give her hope
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.
I watched this video 1000x after the only man I've ever truly loved walked out our home for the last time in 26 years. I spent 4 days and 3 nights curled up on the floor. I've learned how to forgive, I've learned that holding grudges is like squeezing broken glass. I didn't give up, I'm still here.
Truly you are here Debbie, draw on your inner strength and move forward. Life is a beautiful thing, and the hurdles are just that. Positive times ahead ……absolutely. Best, Graeme
This is easily one of the greatest songs ever written in any genre. Gabriel’s lyrics are some of the best ever put to paper. And that vocal bridge at the 2:50 mark is, I think, the greatest vocal bridge in pop/rock music history.
My wife turned my life upside down and terrosided my soul. I had to start again from scratch at 40 had nothing was using a credit card to get bus to work lost my job through depression. I turned it round just as fast as I lost it I now have 3 new business adventures and can't wait for the rest of my life.... Dont GIVE up x

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..
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! ❤❤❤
I can't believe I've never heard of this song! But just now listening to Matthew Perry reading his autobiography, he said this is his favorite song, so I had to find it. I can see why it was so important to him. Rest in Peace, Matty.
This song was a favourite of my dear son Shane who tragically died in April this year. His mantra was never give up. He was my rock who is now a diamond shining in heaven looking down on us.RIP my darling man. Mum xx
This whole Peter Gabriel album is perfection, every note, every word. If you haven’t heard it, please check it out. I’ve had it since the 80’s and it hasn’t aged a bit. The album is entitled “So”.
I’m here again. The last time I posted I was on a ZX 10 ninja and could barely hear the song over the roar of the motor. The bike is no longer here along with the better part of my leg. But tonight I’m out yet again playing this song Over the radio of my 1970 Trans Am four-speed 455 CID. My brother built it with his loving hands for me while I recuperated. And passed from cancer before I had the chance for that first drive which is tonight. Thanks big buddy. I love you. Miss you.
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
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..
This song I shared with my youngest son, over and over. Corey suffered from a mental illness for the last 9 years of his life and died at the of 33, from an opioid overdose. I buried him 2 days ago and played it from my playlist at his funeral. I won't ever forget Kate and Peter and what they mean to me. xo
This is probably the only song on UA-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 🙏🙏
I send you love it's hard with depression I understand 😢I lost my son Nicholas he was Eleven years old as a mother it hurts 😢 please look after yourself sorry about what you are going through 😢😢❤
Kate Bush absolutely make this song go over the top.... she does wonderful vocals Peter Gabriel is good Kate Bush makes this better.... and I've never had a hug like that in my life I sure would like one
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 🙃✌🥰
I am an 80s child and I remember this song, but I heard it with new ears today thanks to the Kate Bush renaissance. I never knew it was her or really who Kate was. Wow, I missed out at the time. This song and video are so hauntingly beautiful and simple. So intricate and deep in its simplicity - my goodness, what a gorgeous song.
I remember it being used in TV public service ads for one of the suicide prevention hotlines. As much as I like this song, it still reminds me of those ads all these years later. I wonder how many lives this song helped save.
Years and years ago at 21 my Father passed on after a year of pain with Cancer. My mum and me with our dog Jack (a funny crazy Doberman) went for a forest walk. It had been raining hard and when we got back to the car my mum realised she had lost a necklace which my dad had given her. Very sad. I put the old car radio on and this song was playing on the radio...... I said to mum lets look for it in the woods as its a message from dad. We did and found it glistening in a grass puddle. Thank you a great song. Miss you dad. 🌹
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!
I spent 30 years in the infantry and when I came home I was lost i fought in wars and saw things no one should see, no one was bothered I suffer from ptsd, tbi and battle nerves then I met my angel and she has stood by my side through everything and this song means so much to me, I love it
Sir, I'm an Old 11B Gulf War Vet, I understand. U seen stuff no one should ever see, I'm a Policeman of 25 Yrs in Memphis I've seen my share to. I pray u are better now.... U can ALWAYS Talk to God, he will listen.
My husband is ex Air Force, two tours of Iraq in second Gulf War. He has PTSD and depression as well, but he and I are soul mates and I am his "wingman" through all his ups and downs. We won't give up, cos we have us.
I usually listen to death metal, black metal, etc, but I have all the time in the world for Kate Bush. The first time I heard this was a recommendation from my dad, and when I listened to it, I cried my eyes out at how beautiful it is. You can't go wrong with Kate Bush, or Peter Gabriel!
I've been fighting severe depression,anxiety and self hatred for decades. I've been on medication for a while,and it does help. But some days it can still be hard. I have given thought to ending it all in the past,but I try not to go there anymore. Everyday is a fight,no doubt. But,I'm still here. And that means something. Seeing an interview with Matthew Perry brought me here. And he's right,this is a wonderful song.
Vc é uma obra do Criador DEUS, tudo na vida tem um propósito, vc é única a semelhança do CRIADOR, suas gerações, as na vida é preciso sentar no colo de DEUS e ter uma conversa com ELE,quando estiveres triste, ore,agradeça à DEUS PAI,FILHO JESUS CRISTO, O ESPÍRITO SANTO, vc encontrará todo apoio, quedas virão ,mas DEUS ajudará vc a se levantar....
Listening to this having lost my job, house, career, having had 17 sessions of chemotherapy and cancer still growing and spreading.. But at 49 I have had a life.. some don’t get that ..💕
Please Know,,,dear ONE,,,,,we are in the crossover INTO the Age of Aquarius....we who have stayed on....are tried by fire...that Burns the OLD.....to Feed the Earth the NEW .....days to come....some time....off.....soldier on to a New Dawn Day
This song is timeless. It was originally written in the perspective of an impoverished couple during the Great Depression, but it works in any circumstance, for anyone, anywhere, in any struggle.
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.
unfortunately the world was sick and broken before this, now we can see the world for what it is.....i believe it is the planet fighting back, sayng i have had enough.
Watching this makes you realize what much of the modern music lacks now. Two people, being you know...adults. Singing beautiful lyrics from the heart. No auto tune. Beautiful.
Lost my best friend in the entire universe to suicide this past August, came across this song for the first time and it instantly brought tears. I don't want to go into the new year without her. I miss and love you so much Mommy!!!!
Bought a random cassette in Turkey in the late 80's. Then lost it. Looked for years without recalling name of band or album! Nightmare! Just bloody found it and I'm back sailing the Turkish coastline on a boat, 80's hair in the wind loving life. Omg thankyou search! Xxx
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 💪
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 thing I truly love about UA-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’m here on November 7th 2024. This song is as relevant today as ever. Thanks Kate and Peter, forever thankful for this.
November 13 and it gets more relevant with each day.

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 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 ❤
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🙏🙏🙏
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
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.
Same reason I just came to the video.
40 years later I still want that hug from Kate Bush.
Bro, that's the biggest part of the video. YOU saw it.
what a lovely woman.
Me to
Same sentiments but for Mr Gabriel ❤
She lives up the road from me, I’ll press the buzzer on her iron gates and ask, but no guarantees mate
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.
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

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 :(

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.

In the past I've read a lot of hate for Kate Bush because of this song. She wouldn't go on concert with Peter to sing it with him and people hated her for it. I was just reading up on her bio tonight. She only did one concert tour ever, before the very first show one of the very important people involved fell through the stage floor 20 feet (almost 7 meters) to land on a concrete floor, and was so severely injured he died before the concert. This set the stage for a harrowing concert tour for her, and she refused to do it again. Additionally right around this time she was dealing with deaths in her close family that further traumatized her. Music had been her life since early childhood and she walked away in despair. So yes, she didn't tour with Peter and he had to find somebody else to sing the duet with live. Before you go hate on somebody, try imagining what its like to be in their shoes. Kate has an amazing voice, and had a sometimes flamboyant style similar to Peter's when he was in Genesis and the aftermath. They are incredible together on this song.
Heck, until I saw the other live performances PG was doing with other female singers here on YT, and even then I thought it was pretty cool that he performed this live just to give the song different dimensions. That's along sentence, sorry. But for all those Kate Bush haters (and I didn't even know that, for heavens sake until I read your comments) just remember, that the magic of this song, upon hearing it the first time with KB is really really hard to recapture the second time around, and especially live. Just savor the sweet, fragile yet untamed voice of Kate in this video. At 64 now, and since I was 25 when this was released on the album, I realize only now that I was looking for the WRONG THINGS in a woman as a life mate. I was totally wrong. And I seriously doubt I will get a 2nd chance.
@@allenvaughan1 Don't worry about the long sentences, I'm well known for my run-on sentences. It took me decades just to be able to START breaking the habit. But it's the way my brain works. And thanks for your positive response. You are lucky actually, I've never gotten to see Peter live, I really wish I had, the YT videos of his concerts all look awesome. And yes, Kate Bush was an incredibly talented singer. I first heard her on MTV back when they actually played music (around 85) and was hooked on her voice and the quirky background stuff in her songs along with the very interesting music itself.
Bs, Kate sang it live with him, there is an audio on UA-cam....
@@isobeljames1328 This is not a live concert video, it's a music video recording. From what I've read she never sang it in live concert with him. This is "The official Don't Give Up video." - every live concert video I have seen had a different female vocalist. - ua-cam.com/video/98lNKjwYtaU/v-deo.html - ua-cam.com/video/uzBs-wHwl9k/v-deo.html - ua-cam.com/video/LZnPFiNIDiY/v-deo.html - ua-cam.com/video/v3SVJrTODdc/v-deo.html - so prove me wrong and find it.
Why would you hate somebody for going through all she went through. These people would want to get a crip.Totally agree with you 101%. Why would you hate anyone. They should practice compassion. They/ any of us will never know when we might be in the same position. And experience the same things as she did. Famous or not.
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
@@РыжоваОксана-и4о 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.
@@РыжоваОксана-и4о 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 ❤
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 😊
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
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.
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...

Beautiful. Philosophical ones. Did you come up with it yourself? But what does this have to do with the topic, because we are not writing about computers here? For now, we cannot buy the human brain from Intel or AMD. The service is also at a low level. If the service had not been in use, it might have been possible to cure both the effects of a cerebral hemorrhage and the disastrous effects of religion on this noble organ...
Amen!
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 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.

And for that I thank him.

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 🩵

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
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.
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

3+ decades of that song, still hits me right in the feelz in 2024. That's what timeless music does for you.
My wife died of cancer over ten years ago and I still feel her in my heart. This song helps me ease the pain of loneliness and hurt I feel every waking moment. Thank you, Peter Gabriel.
So sorry for your loss. She will always watch over you

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.

Don't give up ❤
Kate Bush has a hauntingly beautiful voice. Cannot be duplicated.
Kind of. I think Robyn has a very similar sounding voice. ua-cam.com/video/-ojHWQrm4UM/v-deo.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.
A difficult morning for many.
It’s ok to be scared. It’s ok to be sad. And you are not alone in those feelings.
Be a light in the dark for those who feel lost too.
Be kind. Be gentle.
Let your compassion make you an easy safe harbour to find.
Don’t give up. You are not alone.
We came to this song looking for something we needed:
We are here together ❤
I don't know what to think of the world anymore. Now there's a political crisis in my country Germany too. I'm so scared of what will happen
Maybe it's difficult for some, but it's also happy for others. It's swings and roundabouts.
@@utaeberhardt240 Don’t give up!
That's beautiful. Thanks!
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. 🙏🏼💜
Robby...dont guve up!!! Youve still got 'us'❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
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
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

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.

I am 72 and so alone and worry to much. I wish I could walk out, feel so beat up. God Bless all of you.
hang in there Linda
However hard things might feel right now, they can improve and there is help out there and people who care, so check out the websites of MIND and the Samaritans. A lot of us have been through similar things.
There's still a lot of life and joy to be had yet for you Linda. Take it a day at a time while figuring out the big picture improvements you want, you can make it work. Hugs to you.
Linda, I'm alone too. I know the feeling. We have to remember that we're not really alone. GOD IS WITH US. He's our friend and we can talk to Him all day, every day like He's right there in the room with us. He is. We're not alone. We're lonely. When this lock down is over, we have to go out and put ourselves in HEALTHY, social situations where we can be around healthy, supportive people. Ok? I don't know you. But I'm sending my love and support to you out there. ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏 You're not alone. Love to you.
Go ahead and feel free to write to me, Linda. This is my email: estebanmatavargasl@gmail.com If you are ready to share, I´ll be ready to listen. You are not alone, and I´ve seen my good share of shit in my time.
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 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 :)
This song saved my
Life. From the verge of depression when I felt I am done, i was cutting myself with knife and burning myself to get rid of my depression and I didn’t know what to do. I ran into this song and started listening to this song and I told myself, you are a loser today and behind everyone else. But if you start moving forward 5 step every day and never give up one day you will catch up with the others and pass them and this will be the engine for your never ending growth and reaching to your dream destiny. I built a company, a big team, got my freedom, travelled to 65 countries and am excited to see what the rest of my journey looks like.
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 .
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.
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.

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 :)))

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.
Eines der wenigen, unvergänglichen, wirklichen Meisterwerke der Musikgeschichte....
Zwei absolute Ausnahmekünstler ...
'For ever'♥️♥️♥️
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
"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.

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.
Broken career, broken love, away from family, alone and depressed. Wonderful song. Love listening to this song
I watched this video 1000x after the only man I've ever truly loved walked out our home for the last time in 26 years. I spent 4 days and 3 nights curled up on the floor.
I've learned how to forgive, I've learned that holding grudges is like squeezing broken glass. I didn't give up, I'm still here.
bless you debby, sending love
Truly you are here Debbie, draw on your inner strength and move forward. Life is a beautiful thing, and the hurdles are just that. Positive times ahead ……absolutely. Best, Graeme

❤❤❤❤
Holding grudges is like squeezing broken glass - I'm going to have to remember that. Thank you for sharing your story and your wisdom.
The 1980's was my decade and 35 years later this song--sung by two of my all-time favorite artists--continues to blow me away.
My favorite from both of them. It's magical really.
Yes!! Me too
She is making this song great. WAY ahead of her time. This is the best female musician ever.
1975
I guess and I am sure this is same for all born in 60's
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 easily one of the greatest songs ever written in any genre. Gabriel’s lyrics are some of the best ever put to paper. And that vocal bridge at the 2:50 mark is, I think, the greatest vocal bridge in pop/rock music history.
My wife turned my life upside down and terrosided my soul. I had to start again from scratch at 40 had nothing was using a credit card to get bus to work lost my job through depression. I turned it round just as fast as I lost it I now have 3 new business adventures and can't wait for the rest of my life.... Dont GIVE up x

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..

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! ❤❤❤

Agreed!!
"This song is actually a timeless masterpiece", but yes.
Absolutely. It will never get old.
This whole Peter Gabriel album is perfection, every note, every word. If you haven’t heard it, please check it out. I’ve had it since the 80’s and it hasn’t aged a bit. The album is entitled “So”.
SO is a MASTERPIECE
I fully agree! My favourite one from Peter Gabriel
I couldn't agree more with you. It has to be one of the greatest albums ever produced in my opinion.
One of the rare albums where even the 'obscure' tracks were sensational.
Thank you I'm going to get it❤
I’m here again. The last time I posted I was on a ZX 10 ninja and could barely hear the song over the roar of the motor. The bike is no longer here along with the better part of my leg. But tonight I’m out yet again playing this song Over the radio of my 1970 Trans Am four-speed 455 CID. My brother built it with his loving hands for me while I recuperated. And passed from cancer before I had the chance for that first drive which is tonight. Thanks big buddy. I love you. Miss you.
All the best, big man ✊🏿
Thank you I appreciate it. My brother was with me that night. I could feel him in the passenger seat. Always the big brother telling me to slow down.
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. ☮❤🙏

I am an 80s child and I remember this song, but I heard it with new ears today thanks to the Kate Bush renaissance. I never knew it was her or really who Kate was. Wow, I missed out at the time. This song and video are so hauntingly beautiful and simple. So intricate and deep in its simplicity - my goodness, what a gorgeous song.
What a masterpiece!

@@jenniferduran1875 you must be joking.
I remember it being used in TV public service ads for one of the suicide prevention hotlines. As much as I like this song, it still reminds me of those ads all these years later. I wonder how many lives this song helped save.
Me too. I had no clue growing up who she was but I was surrounded by her music.
This song puts me in tears every time I listen to it. It relates to myself so well whenever I struggle with life.
Years and years ago at 21 my Father passed on after a year of pain with Cancer. My mum and me with our dog Jack (a funny crazy Doberman) went for a forest walk. It had been raining hard and when we got back to the car my mum realised she had lost a necklace which my dad had given her. Very sad. I put the old car radio on and this song was playing on the radio...... I said to mum lets look for it in the woods as its a message from dad. We did and found it glistening in a grass puddle. Thank you a great song. Miss you dad. 🌹
Great story too!
💜
The beauty in the worst of it.
You Made me cry
Oh my god 🙏😮😔🙈🌞✊🌈

It was not Kate but i have friends who hug like that

wish i could get a hug from anyone these days lol....
I'd kill for a hug like this from Peter Gabriel.
i'd take a hug from either of them in hopes of some brilliance rubbing off
I appreciated this song in 1986 when I was 18 and still love it and live by it at 55.❤👍🎶
me too and I almost given up but !!!!!!! I found HELP !!!!!!
i was 20 in 1986 he was way ahead of his time,i remember when he did the Sledgehammer video amazing stuff,i'm now 57 and appreciate it even more
You and me both. I live by it.
Wow graduation in 86 and didn’t know of this song but now I realize it is a strong song
Geez, I graduated in 83! Known about this song since I was 17.
Thank you Peter and Kate for this song. It has been with me since childhood. She always helps me.
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!

I usually listen to death metal, black metal, etc, but I have all the time in the world for Kate Bush. The first time I heard this was a recommendation from my dad, and when I listened to it, I cried my eyes out at how beautiful it is. You can't go wrong with Kate Bush, or Peter Gabriel!

I've been fighting severe depression,anxiety and self hatred for decades. I've been on medication for a while,and it does help. But some days it can still be hard. I have given thought to ending it all in the past,but I try not to go there anymore. Everyday is a fight,no doubt. But,I'm still here. And that means something. Seeing an interview with Matthew Perry brought me here. And he's right,this is a wonderful song.
Lies psalm 139 in der Bibel und bete zu Jesus der hilft dir
wishing you the best, hope the darkness lifts for you,
Vc é uma obra do Criador DEUS, tudo na vida tem um propósito, vc é única a semelhança do CRIADOR, suas gerações, as na vida é preciso sentar no colo de DEUS e ter uma conversa com ELE,quando estiveres triste, ore,agradeça à DEUS PAI,FILHO JESUS CRISTO, O ESPÍRITO SANTO, vc encontrará todo apoio, quedas virão ,mas DEUS ajudará vc a se levantar....
I know how you are feeling. ❤️
I love how Kate really means her hug. She is totally immersed in the song's reason and ambiance. A true artist.
ngl I'd hug Peter Gabriel like that too given the chance :) He just seems like such a genuine sweet soul. Same with Kate.
I felt bad for her when he was yelling in her ear though, like "hey, I'm right here, ok"
I could use a hug like the one she gave Peter....
Both of them. So much love and support.
She’s a Leo sun Scorpio rising Aquarius moon

She gets me when she she says..please don't give up.
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
This song is timeless. It was originally written in the perspective of an impoverished couple during the Great Depression, but it works in any circumstance, for anyone, anywhere, in any struggle.
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.

@@sherria4920 Wow, Americans thinking the world just revolves around you as always.
@@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.
Beautiful in so many many ways. Gabriel's voice is fabulous and Kates is like liquid galaxy chocolate. Brings a tear to my eye in June 2021.
Yes
Liquid galaxy chocolate. Love that!
I didn’t like this song much in the ‘80s..!! but now this song touches my soul.. it’s absolutely amazing!!
"liquid galaxy chocolate" I love that! :D
...and in December 2021.
This is the rallying song for a sick and broken world right now
I agree... I'm so moved to tears
It was also an anthem during the AIDS crisis in the late 80’s early 90’s.
dont give up liz x
You are so right...what the world needs, is a great big Kate Bush!
unfortunately the world was sick and broken before this, now we can see the world for what it is.....i believe it is the planet fighting back, sayng i have had enough.
I always feel Kate Bush is an angel talking to him.
Watching this makes you realize what much of the modern music lacks now. Two people, being you know...adults. Singing beautiful lyrics from the heart. No auto tune. Beautiful.
I agree with you at 100%!
Autotune was made by the devil.. well not really it was
Andy Hildebrand
All you need is a little compression and reverb and good technique. I hate autotune, it kills the soul of the song
Nothing wrong with autotune. What really matters is the content of the song and the message and delivery.
Y’all hate on autotune but 50% of the instruments in this song are synthetic and “perfectly” in tune. Bass is real, aux perc is real.
One of the best songs every written..I cry straight away when i hear this song..so powerful.
Gets me every time as well. One of the best songs ever written
yes. 100% yes
me too
everytime kate bush sings the first line my tears start rolling
yes, it is beautiful... What year was this? 1987?
me too sow powerful
Lost my best friend in the entire universe to suicide this past August, came across this song for the first time and it instantly brought tears. I don't want to go into the new year without her. I miss and love you so much Mommy!!!!
You're stronger than you know💪💪.. You'll see her again, but not yet, not yet💖
I'm so very sorry
Hugs to you
Superbe chansob et de très brillant interprète. Beaucoup de souvenirs a jamais oubliès.
Songs come into our lives right when we need them. I”m sorry for your loss, but don’t give up. ❤️❤️
Bought a random cassette in Turkey in the late 80's. Then lost it. Looked for years without recalling name of band or album! Nightmare! Just bloody found it and I'm back sailing the Turkish coastline on a boat, 80's hair in the wind loving life. Omg thankyou search! Xxx
