  • Unpluggin' awesome! Corey rocks!

  • 19 people surrendered :)

  • I don't remember where I read it, but I remember hearing about this guy being the next big thing in the 80's but he turned down a few hits that were written for him. HIs career quickly faded shortly after.

    I think one of the hits he turned down was "THE HEAT IS ON."

  • Glad you feel that way, Enjoy his music and who knows; may be we'll get lucky and see a Canadian Tour someday. Your right, there are countless hits he could have had with proper promotion, but its good to see he's doing well and enjoying his family. Thanks for posting.

  • Pure talent! I'd pay big bucks to see him live again, probably the most underated Canadian musician ever. Writes all his own music, lyrics; not like the crap on the radio today. Thanks for posting.

  • @vindicateyou What do you mean....one of the most underrated musicians ever. He is very talented. I would pay big bucks to see him too!

  • @beetles2011 Don't get so offended. I meant that he never got the respect that he deserves and people tend to underrate his talent, he is by far one of the best Canadian musicians ever. I am a huge fan, and have been since I bought his first album, anyone who has listened to that album and heard Jenny Fey and disagrees with me; knows nothing about music and talent. Relax and enjoy his music is heart felt and puts a smile on my face and my kids everytime we listen.

  • @vindicateyou No I was not offended, its just that I agree with you. A lot of his songs could have easily been hits if he had the right promotion. I have the upmost respect for any artist that writes, produces, and can play an instrument. Bottom line is someone finally thinks the same way I do.

  • see how when he sings if your lost and alone, hes actually looking out to the crowd and seeking empathy..y do coporate cookie cutouts get to remake these great songs...they're still great!

  • @harleyguy5 : sorry for your loss.

  • Damn I still get chills with this song. This version brought tears.

  • CANCER....a word you never want to here. At 36 the love of my life was told his life had changed, cancer had entered his body. The fight was on. Lindy you are my HERO, never once did you complain or want anyones pitty. Your smile lights up every room you were ever in, You gave it your best fight and made our famillies so proud of the man you are. We all have an empty spot in our hearts, mine is just a little bigger. Never Surrender my love, see you again

  • Got the shivers listening to this acoustic version,whooah! Corey hart the best

  • Great song to motivate and give you hope. And it stands the test of time. Thanks for posting it and thanks Corey.

  • If this doesn't move you, you had better check your pulse.

  • He's planning a new CBC show in 2013. Check him out on FB for details.

  • I still lve this music. Thanks for the download...

  • I saw corey hart in 1997 when he toured to Vancouver, BC. My gosh, what a talent. He took out his piano and asked for requests from any of his albums.

  • 19 people never surrendered

  • Beautiful!!!

  • This acoustic version is phenomenal!! Never Surrender has been my favorite song ever since and has really kept me going during some tough times. Is this performance on DVD anywhere? Or can you download the song somehow?

  • This song is beautiful as much as Corey:)

  • To APVC whose struggles in life made you the best of who you are today, you are my hero & my inspiration to go on. You introduced me to this awe inspiring song that sustained you all through those years. I will be forever grateful....Thank you

  • omg, i've LOVED this song ever since it came out in 1985, but i've never heard this accoustic version! simply awesome!

    Corey is a great singer, sounds as good live as he does on studio...

  • so if you're lost and on your own.....make sure you have this song on your i-pod or mp3 player or old record player/cd player, whatever, just make sure you can get to it because it will help, i promise to you! NEVER SURRENDER YALL!!!!!!!

  • 17 people surrendered.

  • Some performers just don't sound as good outside of the studio and without all the production gloss...Corey sounds truly awesome in this format. His voice is as strong as passionate as ever.

  • 17 people surrendered.

  • Lindy this ones for you my love. You showed all of us who had the honor to call you friend, partner, son, brother what courage is all about. Always a kind smile, a friendly hello, all the time you had the battle of your life going on. Cancer came for you at young age of 36. After 7 months cancer won the fight, but thru all those months not once did you ever want to surrender. Your my HERO and I miss you and love you so much. xoxoxo

  • That's what I'm sayin.....

  • Loved this song as a kid and love this unplugged version even more.

  • I love the song.. I had goosebumps while listening to this song...

  • as mentioned above very pertinent to our time. most soul felt rendition of his song yet.

  • Wow...this was simply beautiful. I'll admit - almost cried a little LOL. Big fan of Corey's songs, but I think this version actually might be more powerful somehow than the original.

  • Be sure to check out the new coreyhart (dot) com website. He has a new label and a great new artist singing on the label.

  • I am going to take a guess, a bit of a stretch, but I think Corey had more success at getting a date then I did in the 80's........

  • he still have that charisma and the voice i love so much :D

  • I've never surrendered, but it is tempting at times. Too many losses and not many gains. However, keep your head up high it will always work out in the end...even it it takes awhile.

  • Miss you MOM! You left me in June of 2010. It doesn't seem to be that long. I know that you are going to watch of us!

  • This was amazing. What a voice, what a talent! Long live the 80's......

  • No wonder this has over 368,000 views! Excellent performance!

  • Pure voice, music, lyrics and melody -- pretty much a perfect song. So much better than the sex-laden, auto-tuned, vocoder'd, recycled, tired, over-produced stuff that is dominant today.

  • together we'll strive hard to succeed...we will never surrender...i love u bhe <3

  • Always listen to this when life becomes overwelming....makes me think of my son.....5 year old with autism who is the strongest person I've ever known.....my battles are minor compared to what he faces every day....for him I will never surrender....thank you for posting

  • listen to miles away by kaz piech

  • THIS IS MUSIC!!!

    Nothing more to say!

    God Bless you all!

  • 15 people couldn't stand their ground & surrendered.

  • I play music in alot of bars mostly 80s cover tunes one night Iwas sitting infront of the computer it had to be 4 or 5 am. I stumbled on this song, by 9:00 i was really feelin it. The folks at the clubs really dig it and It always makes me feel better when the shit in my life gets too much. Thanks Corey and thanks for postin it

  • @PorkyFork great post man

  • When I was down and thinking that all went wrong I sing out loud this song and never surrender! Thanks Corey for joining me in the adventure of being alive!

  • This is a classic song that I turn to when I need to get me back on the right track. Thanks for posting!

Made a lot of difference... kind of healed my broken spirit... Thanks Corey Hart for the encouraging lyrics... :)

  • COREY HART... YO SE QUE HABLAS PERFECTAMENTE EL ESPAÑOL.. PUES VIVISTES MUCHOS AÑOS EN LATINOAMERICA...... SI LEES ESTO.. DEJAME DECIRTE QUE ERES DE LOS GRANDES DE LOS 80... TUS CANCIONES LLEGAN AMIGO.... TIENEN UN SENTIDO DE VIVENCIA PERSONAL.... EN ESPECIAL .. ESTA DONDE INSTAS A NUNCA RENDIRSE ... MI ADMIRACION TU MUSICA HA QUEDADO INMORTALIZADA....

  • In this economy, these times, and in this day and age, this song means more now than it ever did back in the day. To everyone struggling to make ends neat and get ahead..NEVER SURRENDER!

  • @dubee9 I agree with you.... Listening to this song tonight brought me to tears. When this song first came out I didn't have a clue the real meaning and how powerful the lyrics to this song really are.

  • I've got to be strong, keeps holding on the time i used to say that its valuable...even in those times of total crampled...i stand and said never surrender...

  • yes, i never surrender despite of all the pains & heartaches, as long as my path leads me on...let me never surrender...thank you Lord for all...

  • There was a time when I was a teen, in the late 80's that I listened to this song everyday. It was the only thing that go me through the day.

  • this i understand easy to give up god knows sometimes its easier to quit but i must go on i can't see the road ahead i can feel the dust beneath my feet and only hope when my dad died i lost my friend and my idol i expect ill never heal the scar will be there but that scar that memory is important we all need our scars as much as we need the pain to make us who we are mistakes and all.

  • What a gift to so many people.

  • 15 people don't know talent and a great song when they see/hear it.

  • I uploaded a rare Corey Hart song...check it out.../watch?v=TCB2-X2Nix8

  • agenthelios1... He told them to sing, and you can't tell us that you wouldn't have sung along if you were in the crowd, too. It was too powerful a rendition not to get caught up in it. Be positive, brother... enough negativity on You Tube already.

  • People in audience need to stay in audience(physically and vocally) and STFU. I wanna listen to the REAL artist not a bunch of car stereo singers.

  • @agenthelios1 I love when audience sings! It is my favorite thing at concerts it shows you are not alone in the world and many people have a common interest with you :)

  • @sohcsarewicked Your dumb way of thinking along with others (collectiveism) is what ruins the concerts. I pay to hear an artist not some screechy dumb person near me.

    Its called shutting up and having respect for others who paid to be at the concert, obviously you just think like most self-absorbed morons, get a clue.

  • @agenthelios1 I totally agree with you. This is one of my biggest pet peeves, people who think this or any other respectable is karaoke need not come, because others actually want to hear the SINGER! Have a great day

  • @agenthelios1 Respectable Singer

  • @agenthelios1 then don't go to concerts or watch concert videos - it's the norm that artists have their FANS sing along. For me, that's part of the joy of going to a concert. Lighten up dude!

  • he is so adult in this vid shocks time flies he is handsome before now aghhhhhhhh!1996 now its 2010

  • Its sad how todays youth dont even know who ppl like corey hart , Culture club pet shop boys are. There stuck in the BS of the new garbage they call music. bring back the 80's and 90's ... O O O BTW I where my sunglasses at night lol!

  • He still looks handsome as ever.

  • fantastic timeless classic of corey beautiful rendition.

  • And they call this a wireless age.

  • OMG ...I was screaming like a teen...just now at 3o something ...I woke up my hubby!!! lol I love C.Hart... and he is still gorgeous 8) <3

  • Where was this?

  • Oh my goodness. That was amazing

  • He's a very positive-minded guy:)

  • I'm so proud to have been born and lived during the 80's...I'm using my younger sister's account..miss the days when everything's possible...

  • @TheRhayne Got the chills on this performance. I'm with you on that!

  • Hmmm at 1:21 he sings "with a little uncertainty" but the lyrics are actully "just a little uncertainty"...............nev­er noticed this before. Amazing song and singer he needs to put out some new music

  • Why the fuck is an off topic cancer cry the highest rated comment on this video?

  • @kaindarkwind Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh maybe possibly because the message of this song helped them through such a tough time. you really that dense?

  • @pennfarms Has nothing to do with why it is the highest rated remark. Thanks for being a muncher though.

  • @pennfarms Were you really born without a dick? I said off topic.

  • So many times there are so many artists that get overlooked over the years in the US...Corey Hart is one of those talents.....

  • @Hedwig30 He's Canadian...

  • ty- beautiful!

  • Definitely a more intense (& better) version of one of my favorite songs in the 80's! Thanks for posting this one.

  • I love this version his voice is amazing

  • THIS SONG GOT ME THROUGH SO.....MANY LONELY,CONFUSED, NIGHTS.I want everyone to know that everything in life is POSSIBLE.Through Prayer and Knowing that there is someone out there that cares for you,everything will come together. NOT VERY MANY SONGS LIKE THIS CAN MAKE AN IMPACT ON SOMEONE'S LIFE.IT DID FOR ME.

  • Whisper Like An Angel

    Have you learned how to whisper like an Angel

    Have you learned how to stand up to death

    Have you learned that life is as strong as its weakest link

    Have you learned that truth never rests

    Have you learned that love will save you

    Have you learned how to whisper like an Angel

  • super song!

  • God damn, he's hot....

  • this is my husband's fave song...he sings this song to me everyday...ayeeee!!!!

  • I wake up in the Morning and Judge the day by those gifts and challenges and if I 'm fortunate to make through that day. I go to bed at night and say tomorrows another one and I don't look any further than that. (Changes in the song) You guys are great... Stand your ground. I believe in you. Do you believe in yourself? Follow your path and follow your soul. Never Surrender my friends. Thanks very much and God Bless you. Good night. (^:

  • Man, I want to see him in concert soooo bad. Does he just tour in Canada now a days or what, does anyone know?

  • Oh crap, I think I almost pissed myself. LOL. This song has helped me so much through my teenage yrs. I had a pretty screwed up life, especially @ home. and everyday this would be the 1st song I'd play to get me going. I continue to listen to this song today @ the age of 30yrs old 'cause it helps give me good kick in the butt when I need it & to never surrender. This live version leaves me speechless! Thank God for Corey Hart :-).

  • LOL @ the first 30 seconds, him talking about his rehab insights, right before he starts scratching his rear-end. What the hell?

  • this song dedicated to the woman i loved,i loved the song even now shes engaged to the other man for some reason but i never give up shes still the woman of my life the love of my life no one can take her away from me i will never surrender..i will fight for her no matter what..we will be together someday cauz we promise we would.

  • Lindy, what an honor it was for me to have been able to spend 11 beautiful years with you. At 36 your life and mine was changed forever. Cancer was a word never in our vocabulary, always the pain someone else had to go thru. One day you were told you had the fight of your life ahead of you, and with our loving famillies we went on a journey to win the battle. Never once did I see you down, sad or full of pity. You woke up everyday and said we would win this together. Never did you surrender. rip

  • @harleyguy5 man i saw your comment as I was watching the "never surrender" video, I almost cried, my brother died at 36 from cancer...he fought it to the end, God bless

  • @westrokker Thank you for your comment and God Bless you and your family. I feel this is Lindys song, breaks my heart that hes gone, but the courage and strength he had thru the fight inspires me. Never Surrender

  • @harleyguy5 ty for making me cry your such a wonderful person to love through good times and bad times lindy was one super lucky person to have u in her life

  • @westrokker Thank you, and god bless you and your family. Lindy was amazing so I enjoy keeping his memory alive. This song truly was our song, he was a fighter and I knew we would never surrender. :}

  • @westrokker Lindy was 36 also. The cards we are delt never seem right, but I do believe there is a reason for all that the Lord sends our way. God bless you and your familly, I know your brother is watching out over you.

  • @harleyguy5 I'm with you guy, Your words almost made me cry because my sister suffered cancer too. Go ahead..!! Life goes on..Lindy is looking at you from heaven.....Greetings from Peru..

  • @Raper1328 Thank you so much. My thoughts and prayers are with you, and yes, never surrender.

  • @harleyguy5 Wow....no words can describe what you wrote here.......that ws beautiful....just beautiful. =)

  • @copefan Thank you, an inspirational song for all of us going thru tough times.

  • @harleyguy5 Mycondolences to you. We share the same story it seems. My wife was 27 when she lost the battle. That was eight years ago. Time does indeed make it easier. Never surrender can apply to those left behind also.

  • @harleyguy5 , GOD BLESS U AND YOUR FAMILY. I LOST MY GRANDMA TO CANCER IN 2003 SO I CAN FEEL ALITTLE OF YOUR PAIN. NEVER SURRENDER , SUMS IT UP.

  • @harleyguy5 sorry for your loss. just goes to show that anything can happen at any age. it's sad to see so many people live with so much anger and hatrid towards others these days. we should make the most of every moment we have left on earth. hope you found the strength to help move you forward in your life

  • @harleyguy5 I am gonna go get you some frenchcries. waaaaaaaaaa

  • @harleyguy5 Sorry to hear that..

  • @harleyguy5 Holy crap! I am so sorry man. Sounds like she put up the good fight. What an injustice but you both got to enjoy each others company.

  • great great great great song

  • remember this!!!!

  • This brings back so many memories, OMG....love it

  • Maybe he should have looked farther than tomorrow.
