  • only peter gabriel can sing this song properly

  • Beautiful music.

    And 19 persons just....gave up....

  • Dedico esta cancion a todos los que no nos rendimos ante el fascismo de los terroristas de ETA #29O. Nunca nos rendiremos

  • One of the most underappreciated songs that has ever been made. It rarely seems remembered by the masses and when you think of the rubbish that is made, that's a crying shame. While I now appreciate Kate's music at one time I didn't like her stuff, but even then, I loved this song.

  • DEDICATED TO MY BEAUTIFUL WIFE WHO IS GOING THROUGH THE DIFFICULT TIMES ......DON'T GIVE UP BABES YOU STILL HAVE US AND WE LOVE AND BELIEVE IN YOU..........<3 <3 <3

  • The power of music from two of my favourite artists.

  • A very nice song

  • I never want to return to that cold dark and lonely place. Listening to this takes me back there. Really sad to return but it's made me realise how far I've come with the unconditional love of Dee and a fellowship, From the bottom of my heart I love and thank you all xxx

  • KOcham<3

  • Don't give up - too right. Life is sacred. You are only here once, it's not a rehearsel. Make the most of it. This song is ab fab. So are you.

  • i like more the 1 version

  • my husband died jan. 3 2011.....and sooo adored this song...as we went through lots of tough times.....he always said...."everything works out....it has to".....and now i have the gift of being father and mother to my three beauties.....and i know he is with me.....it is just different.....he is with us......loss.......is not an option for me......

  • To all guys who's parents walk in to them masturbating... "Dont give up"

  • to all refugees and deportees, don't give up

  • to all refugees and deportees

  • Does anyone know why there a two video versions?

  • @StreamFunction

  • Australia is a big country. Not a lot of water, at times. I don't reckon any one should own land in Australia. It should be be a shared country. I feel for people that are escaping violence and open my arms in relief and I will comfort them when they arrive in our country, and help the settling of those that asprire to help themselves and me.

  • For Michael who passed away a year ago. We love you dear heart.

  • la canción buena y las grandes voces, me recuerda tanto las cosas yo todavía soy todavía lograr

  • What was up with version one?

  • ...and dedicated to Muhammad Ali

  • I was alone in the world. Even my daughter dissappeared. No friends, no family....

    In prison..... not have the rope to finish it all...Still today tears come when I hear this song

  • i was on the brink of suicide when i first heard this song it opened my eyes to how much people actually cared for me and how much i had to live for

  • Es tan extraña la manera en que las cosas cambian...

  • fresh really, he's never done a hard days work in his entire life!

  • a most HUMAN of songs - the best of being a human - gentleness, real love and compassion. Things we all need and must never stop looking for.

  • esta versión del tema es super reflexiva, pero la otra es como más mágica... emana algo especial el que ambos estén abrazados y el eclipse como fondo... es como todo especial

  • thank U

  • hermoso mensaje de esperanza para todo ser humano, y con esa voces especiales, que te llegan al corazón, Gracias mil.

  • That is the most beautiful song ever xx

  • merci papa de ne pas renoncer. Merci à Élisa de ne pas renoncer. Merci Pauline de continuer.Merci Marjorie de veiller sur nous...

  • I guess that this will float downstream, at whatever pace, soon to disappear. Look at what was offered here. They don't want you to feel or understand. They want you to fight one another. Will you? They want WAR, they want fuel for their war engines. Will you fuel the war engine? We who hold nothing ask this. Say no! Say NO to WAR and help all those who hold.....Nothing. There is a better way. I'm sorry for wasting your time....please think.
  • There is a vid on here from Rocky Balboa where he is talking to his son about life that says pretty much the same, but in a different way. I don't know how to put a link to it, but it's called "Rocky's speech to his son" It helps me, too, when I dare to feel sorry for myself. I have my health, my daughter and a pretty good life. I have no right to let my self down with self sympathy. Fight on, folks!

  • thankyou and i am glad you can move forward ,x x x all the best to you now get living we only do it once and we are dead a long time x

  • oh i didnt mean to make you feel bad ,and i know out there there is always some one worse off than me x x x

  • @KATRINABURNSIDE You didn't make e feel bad, love, just made me take a good look at myself, Y'know? That's always a good thing. All the best to you.

  • I am finally over my ex ... took 18 months ... but that's just the way it is. She has had many opportunities to come back, but she keeps stepping on her own feet, and her beauty only got her to a guy with a dishonorable discharge for alcohol problems and can't hold a job any more steady than he can a hammer ... good bye and good luck .. you're gonna need it since you had his baby while he's telling her he's not ready to settle down with ANYONE .. lol ... Live from Cancun today .. new g/f ;))

  • Питеру очень пошло на пользу, что он покинув "Genesis" занялся вокалом, Буддизмом и сольными проектами, к слову это пошло на пользу и самим "Genesis" и в частности Филу Коллинзу заметно обновившему звучание группы. Теперь их ни за что не перепутать с Jetro Toll, как это порой можно было сделать в былые времена!:)))

  • Dedicated to Japan,

    To all the victims of the tsunami/earthquake tragedy there,

    To those who have been affected by it in so many tragic ways.

    Don't give up!

    You have friends and supporters all over the world.

  • thx. we all appreciate wat u mean. from jpn. @Rocnroll100

  • @Rocnroll100

    well said-I am a hispanic-spaniard american who lives in NYC.But right now,during this desperate time in Japan,my thoughts,heart & soul-are Japanese.Stand strong Japan,especially in the northeast-we are among many who will support you any way we can.I hope contributions made by myself & others to Red Cross can have immediate effect,

  • Simon Peter holds the first place in the college of the Twelve; Jesus entrusted a unique mission to him. Through a revelation from the Father, Peter had confessed: "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." Our Lord then declared to him: "You are Peter, and on this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it.

  • used in the bone collector a film set in new york, great movie

  • @KATRINABURNSIDE Jesus Christ Katrina, of anyone I have heard of you have the right to bitterness and anger, yet you face life with a prize fighters attitude. I'm ashamed that I've ever felt sorry for myself after hearing about you. Bless you, sweetheart!

  • I've been having a "Don't Give Up" kind of week. I came to get this & post it to my Facebook. This was the song they always played on sad shows before "Everybody Hurts" came along. It has been my "don't be a selfish bastard & kill yourself cuz there's so much more ahead" song since it came out way back in the day. I'm 43 now so I guess it's worked huh?? Didn't think I'd live past 18, then 21, then 30... Life: it just keeps coming at ya! Thank goodness. The alternative is a BAD BAD option!

  • @ToBeDisabledSoon- We share more than just years my friend. Your story mirrors my own in many ways. It has been a very long and weary walk for me too. I somehow have always found the strength to get up every morning, and find something positive to focus on when some would probably find nothing. I know I'm nothing special, and there are many souls more deserving than mine, but even after all this pain, and the long ugly road I find myself on most days, my mind never sees quitting as an option.

  • Although obviously made on a smaller budget, I think the alternative video where Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush hold each other tight is more emotionally gripping and stiring.

  • this song was, and is a part of my life. There have been times I wanted to give up, jump off the bridge, saw my hometown differently than I remembered. Doubted love that people have for me.I need to know that I CANT GIVE UP ON LOVE! But sometimes, parts of me need it at certian times, when I feel death is the best solution to make their lives easier. I have lost normal use of one hand, and had a brain operation that changes me. Am I still somewhere around? Can my love find me? Love. all I need!!

  • I am in pain. I am afraid. I have A.L.S. and it is finally hitting my arms. I can't feed myself anymore. I have a pinched nerve in my neck and my upper arms are getting weaker and weaker .It's been over 18 years since I was diagnosed with this progressive neuromuscular disease (known in the U.S. as Lou Gehrig's Disease) with an average life expectancy of 3 to 5 years. It can leave your brain locked in a body it can not move. I can't give up, but I don't know how to go on. I need 1 real friend.

  • @ALSsurvivor Keep the faith and hang in there. I cannot understand what you are feeling. I have a pinch nerve in my neck which never stop hurting . So i listen to lots of music whenever I feel pain. I don't listen to sad music it only let me feel weak and negative. Be positive at all time. Yes I know its easy said but do your best. :)

  • @ALSsurvivor- I am lost for words. I would be very honoured to be your friend.

  • @ALSsurvivor I'm so sorry to hear that. I can't even imagine what you're going through. I wish all of the luck in world for you.

    <3

  • I never thought i will failed...L.O.V.E

  • Is this the current theme tune for President Hosni Mubarak ?

  • Get the audio from this vid at speedyconversion doht cohm.

  • to everyone.....we all owe each other for being there for each other, be there for someone and hope someone is there for you........i owe so much 2 a lot of people and especially 2 my close friends and family........I'll never give up because I'll always be there for them......

  • I don't need to leave a comment, I just read all you guys inspiring thoughts

  • one thing ive learned after many bad times, most of which overlapped, is that you never know what you can deal with, until youre dealing with it

  • ?This song is so great!

  • Super!!! love this!!! Thankx! Willemina

  • I am recovering from being in a dark and lost place this song reminds of how much my wife and family have helped and supported me and the debt I owe them,To anyone feeling as I did Please Dont give up.

  • I am recovering from being in a dark and lost place this song reminds of how much my wife and family have helped and supported me and the debt I owe them,To anyone feeling as I did Please Dont give up

  • @5oaksjohn Best of luck to you, brother. I know the road you are on all too well.

  • @BishiBanger

    thankyou

  • @5oaksjohn Hey John, I hope it's less dark and you feel less lost. Holding you in the light. Peace for you.

  • @flybynight420 Thankyou for your kind words, there is now more light in my life than I ever thought there would be

  • @5oaksjohn - What you owe them isn't a debt...just give your family and others what your family gave you. We are all in this game together and its much easier when you know your are not alone in it. God bless you, and I care. Dont give up my friend.

  • @5oaksjohn iam in such place and cant get out

  • @5oaksjohn Thumbs up for families

  • @thepaperlantern I have been feeling the same recently. Keep moving forward, you can't change the past, just keep moving forward. If you can get my email through here, email me. There is hope. I know it doesn't feel like it, but you are reaching out and that's a good sign.

  • The words in this song is so appropriate for the Queensland Floods Disaster! I wish i had footage, Brisbane is about 45min drive, from where we, we were very lucky not to get hit by the floods!.Thanks for the post!. from Australia.

  • Beautiful song

  • To Haiti and Australia, hang on, be strong...

  • @MissMiaMartin WELL SAID , ENGLAND IS THINKING OF YOU .

  • to all those who have lost family and friends and the people suffering these awlful floods of Queensland 2011, we are with you al stay strong and please dont give up

  • @paperlantern. Go to church my friend. Regardless of whether you believe in God or not, I can guarantee you will meet some decent people and the moral code they try to live by at the very least is not a bad place to start. Good luck and I hope you will be able to cross the friendless one off of your list.

  • @MrWishiwas18again

    What a nice comment.

  • @Fattboy26 Cheers Matey.

  • Comment ne peut on pas aimer un artiste pareil ??? Faut rien comprendre à son art et avoir des bouchons dans les oreilles !!! MA GNI FI QUE

  • If you are ever down... lost and think all is lost or even at the point of suicide,,. this song can bring you back from the edge. It is so direct, touching, so deep. It could be the last peace in the raging storm. It can touch you and change you in so many if you open yourself up to it... to life.. to forgiveness, to love...to your path. Have faith... somewhere there is a place for you and somewhere there is someone for you. You are not alone. Many Blessings to Peter & Kate for this song.

  • @YogaArmy but I am there, in a real bad place at the moment - I am a grown man, Afghanistan veteran and I just can't stop crying - this song strikes such a chord with me, I don't know what to do - I am not at the point of suicide, but I feel very hopeless, friendless, alienated, guilt ridden and hopeless - advice appreciated, I have no-one to talk to

  • @thepaperlantern hang in there i am praying for u

  • @thepaperlantern Please please talk your Dr he or she Will be there for you and put you in contact with people

    that can help you the same as they have helped me. I felt very much the same as you are feeling now but with their help I am on the road to rebuilding my life and regaining my self believe I am thinking of you my friend I have yet to meet

  • AMAZING! I was a HUGE Kate Bush fan in the 80s - seriously HOW could you give this video a thumbs down? Really??? 15 Sucker MCs did? Man... talk about lame!! Really Lame

  • As I posted on the version 1, this song saved my life. Peter Gabriel has touched my life so deeply so many times,,I love him and what he does,,no one can do the songs like he does,,,awesome!! If anyone feels like they can go on no more,,,listen to this song and let it filter into your soul,,,and never ever give up!!

  • As I posted on the version 1, this song saved my life. Peter Gabriel has touched my life so deeply so many times,,I love him and what he does,,no one can do the songs like he does,,,awesome!!

  • Great song, I listen to it everytime I want to give up. I feel the pain that all you guys are going thru. My story is like Money, lost my business, home, wife and kids. Spent 3 years feeling sorry for myself and just starting to fight to get back up. . The bottom line its easy to give up.

    "If you can go down so low, you will be able to rise higher than you can conceive, you will know a holy joy, a companionship almost like that of a heavenly company of  angels"

  • @rinkrat12002369

    man you are so wrong, wish it was the easy to give up. If the pressure gets too much its a hard decision but one which I will have to make soon.

  • @vinnieg100 Don't give up.

    You do have friends.

    We will always be here for you.

    Bad times pass, we're here.

  • don´t give up 444 comments and 555 views - this con´t be chance !

  • 14 people gave up

  • @seadogvcd No they just don't like this song you fucking moron.

  • MUCH better than the other version, which is just too.....................BORING for me. At least something more happens here than just Peter and Kate hugging each other!

  • here I'm in Indy on Christmas Eve .. it's snowing and I have the woman of my life in my dreams .... she's home ... I"m on the road .. I'll be home tomorrow .. I'll be home for Christmas ......... don't give up .. we're all in this together .. we don't know each other .. but we're all going to survive ... promise ;)

  • My son gave up! he was only 23 years old with a new baby and a beautiful wife. He Hung himself one block away from his work. I miss him so so much. Please Don't Give up. Its the hardest thing in the world to kiss your son goodbye in a casket. please don't give up.

  • @mrblakwolf1 MY HEART GOES OUT TO YOU, I SUFFER FROM STRESS AND DEPRESSION, AND SOMETIMES IT GETS SO BAD , IT FEELS LIKE THERE IS NO WAY OUT AND THAT THE WORLD IS CLOSING IN ON YOU AND YOUR MIND JUST TAKES CONTROL OF YOU AND THEN THE DARK THOUGHTS CREEP IN, I MYSELF HAVE CONTEMPLATED SUICIDE BUT THE THOUGHT OF ALL THE GRIEF IT WOULD CAUSE FOR MY WIFE AND CHILDREN PULLS ME OUT. AS I SAID I FEEL YOUR GRIEF BUT JUST MAYBE THE SIGNS WERE THERE AND YOU JUST COULDN'T SEE THEM, GARRY

  • @gaz057 Blessed are the meek that inherit the earth, God Bless and positie thoughts for you.

    Respectfully

  • @mrblakwolf1 I am SO sorry...My prayers are with you and your son's family...

  • I return to work on the 17th ..... it's been a long ... worrisome few months ... it was a mixed blessing ... I mean that ....... I found out I could get a lot of things done that didn't cost money (home repairs) and that I have missed a "normal family life" for the past 20 years (I travel 19 days a month out of town) ......... and while we need the money ...... she's sad / mad that I"m going back .... to be gone ... Well baby ... just a few more years and I'll be home forever .. don't give up

  • Me an all only recently found work after 6 months of being unemployed on the dole. and near enough 2 months of that they refused to pay me! just like the lyrics people Don't give up :D!

  • 13 people gave up.

  • @DenzilVoorhees 13 arseholes gave up

  • Dont give up!!! Love will find you!!!

  • Like more Alice Keys cover.

    Amazing song

  • When in need this song ALWAYS delivers. It says so many things in so many ways and comforts anyone - anytime they need it.

  • Gänsehaut bei diesem Lied echt toll

  • Si tu te trouves concrètement dans la situation de cet artriste qui joue ton role, dans son clip qui naguère lui rapportat un max de tunes,je te donne le conseil suivant: balaie d'un revers de la main ta situation actuelle et ... change le scénario!!! Beaucoup plus facile que tu ne le crois,crois-moi!!!

  • 2010...2011,on y est!Je me souviens d'un gros titre de "SCIENCE ET VIE", aux début des années 90:"AN 2000: La fin des maladies, la fin du chomage!"Bon,ben......

  • i feel so alone and i wanna give up shit!..

  • @09184502046 - You're NOT alone. I have had years when I felt like you do right now. I know it doesnt help you much to hear that from where you are right now, but believe me when I say that you are not alone...and your life will turn around. All you have to do is keep getting up. The only way to get thru hell, is go straight thru it!! YOU CAN DO IT!! I believe in you, and I love you.

  • @HardRokMiner Thanks for the nice comment, i belive there is a light in the future.

    But i still haven´t find a new job yet.

    To all that was nice to give me a comment and encouraging words

    many thanks.

  • @money4082 - It is more than a pleasure to lend a helping word to you. We should never look down on anyone, unless we are helping them up. I know your helI. I spent 10 full years in the deepest darkest place my soul could ever imagine. I was so low in those times that my prayer at night would be to die while I was alseep because I could not stand another day like the one I just had. The hard times in our lives are placed there. There is a lesson in the pain you are feeling. Find it! ;)

  • @money4082 - Where do you live and what type of work did you do?

  • @HardRokMiner True, Good advise, believe and focus on the positive of what you have as a blessing.

  • @HardRokMiner

    Truth!

    Charge into the pain.

    Challenge the flames.

    It will yield to you.

    I Also believe in you and I love you too.

  • @rhino1138 - Thank you from my soul for your kind words. On my darkest day I found a quote that lifted me above the pain and grime of life. I think its one of the greatest ever written. I have it on my wall and in time of darness I look at it and remind myself of how far I've come. "Anyone can give up, its the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, thats true strength"

  • @HardRokMiner

    You can't imagine how important are your words to me...thank you, i came here by coincidence (i don't believe them), we're all connected in this world!

    All the best my friend

  • I will never give up, until one of us is dead. After that, I will turn to God and pray for eternity

  • @Lungubastardi2010 Someone needs you Lungu

    They love you and they need you.

    Keep a sharp eye out.

    They are coming to love you.

  • @rhino1138 hungry for love, and it's feeding time!

  • While this is a beautiful song in any form, I prefer the other version of this video. While this tries to show the struggles of the working man, I always the other one that showed Peter Gabriel in the enviable position of having to share a loving embrace with a young Kate Bush. Dirty job, but somebody's got to do it. : )

  • @DoctorPretorious616 Ineed! I was lucky, I was holding my wife :)

  • @TheOldEchoes *Indeed.

  • Played at our wedding. Splendid song.

  • The Sound  of Hope

  • Wunderbares Video

  • a sound of hope...

  • Magnifique chanson, superbe duo. Leur voix s'accordent , se mélangent. Deux artistes aux talents immenses. De leur rencontre est né ce sublime titre. Je me remémore ce morceaux a la musique particulière. J'aime la voix de Kate Bush j'aime sa sonorité. Vidéo qui se laisse regarder. Un grand merci pour les souvenirs que cela peut provoquer. MERCI.... MERCI.....

  • When Peter sing "Got to waaaalk out of here, I can't taaake anymore, gonna staaand on that bridge, keep my haaaands down below, whatevvver may come, and whatevvver may go let rivers flow, let rivers flow" It is sung with such feeling tht it brings a tear to my eye everytime. Thank you for posting this. It is a valuable favorite.

  • @HardRokMiner

    Yup, same here. I don't know, to me the music back in the 80's had emotions, feelings to them, you know? The music most of the music today doesn't have it, it's just music with nothing to it. Does that make sence?

  • beautiful, beautiful and beautiful... i cannot find any other words...

  • This song always gives me the creeps, cold chills and tears in my eyes.

    I don't how he did,but this song is definitely a highlight in pop ballad history for me.

    A beauty.

    Best song ever, that's a hard one, there too many touchy songs out there.

  • I can relate, I'm there now.

  • "Don't give up now, we're proud of who you are..."

    For some reason, that line always makes this smile tug at my lips :)

  • @moderndaypandora.my friends tell me not to give up on writing music.bernie,my son,loves my music and made me laugh singing the amarillo song the other day.then he said:"mum,let s sing together!"greetings to all the fans.KB

  • @KB1523 Isn't your son's name BERTIE?...LOL

  • @Chris234ify.LOL.whoops.i m sure he ll forgive me...KB

  • This song was for the last recession in the UK for the working man. Can you imagine an artist now singing a song to support the working man being thrown out of work and on the edge of taking his own life? No one cares about the little guy now.
