Deepest song I have ever heard this year, 2012. The combination is sooo perfect; John-very soulful, Pink-smooth n Herbie-the greatest pianist of all times
This Song has Beautiful Melodies + a Great Story + Heartfelt Vocal Performance + Tasteful Solos & Arrangement = Music Masterpiece !!! and the Grammy Goes to Herbie Hancock - John Legend & Pink !
With Tal Winkenfeld in the bass guitar, John and Pink in lead vocals, Herbie on piano and Vinnie in the drums, I just can imagine how it would be with John Mayer in the electric guitar... That combination of talent would be just OUT OF THIS WORLD.
This is so beautiful, such a simple yet dramatic arrangement that just suits the lyrics so perfectly. The music echoes the words being sung and Pink and John Legend were born to duet this. Very special:)
@2306mark Indeed it is. It's called "The Imagine Project". It's a collection of hits reinterpreted by Herbie and a vast amount of fantastic artists. Beautiful album that I can highly recommend :)
Used to listen to the original version as a kid back in the 80's. This is the most beautifully performed version I have ever heard. Delicately perfect musical arrangements, played and sung with mind heart and soul - Sublime.
@perchrhalvorsen It's funny too, because Miles Davis once complained about Herbie Hancock "playing too may notes". Maybe he really took that comment to heart xD
I'm guessing this might be one of the most difficult modern songs to cover and do justice to it. Herbie, P!nk and JohnL do a wonderful job with one of The Gabe's iconic compositions. And yes, that looks like Tal W on bass to me too...who provides a wonderful reading as well.
As a huge fan of Peter Gabriel, I would swear that no one could record a better version of this song until I heard Herbie Hancock, P! nk and John Legend. Peter Gabriel should be proud of this version. This song has everything.
I love this song so much I listen to it all day at the office especially when I am having a bad day. It speaks to my heart. John Legend and Pink have done more than justice to this song!!!
at 3:42 - is that a soft Hammond in the background? Anyway: great way to bring in that gospel music flavor. In the original it was of course the fantastic Richard Tee on the piano.
Anyway: awesome new version of a classic. Dream team!
oh God... i can cry everytime I listening her.... no matter where I am... it's a perfect song, and I like to listen her with my best friend who's fighting with leukemia almost 2 years <3<3
What a beautiful cover version of this song,and how appropriate that they got Pink in to sing her part in the song,She never gave up she never gave in,she basically said F***k you to all those whom doubted her tallent and went on to fllow her musical dreams,she knew in her own heart that she would deffinatley get her fans following her and her music career bacause she tells it how it is,and that is what people not only want but need these days. She didn't GIVE UP. BRAVO and hats off 2 this cova.
I thought this version was very average. The best cover version has Maire Brennan and Michael McDonald. Unfortunally it's not available on youtube, Peter Gabriel has sung it with different women and the best female voices belongs to Kate Bush, Paula Cole and (now on tour) norwegian Ane Brun. He has also song it with Sinead O'Connor and Tracy Chapman both very bad version. P!nk sing the song above average - but Legend is below average in his performance.
ainda bem que deus não existe. éa musica é uma criação imperfeitad do homem. e se deus existe temos que extermina-lo. baukine já dizia sso. deus é como ultimo ciagarro de botequim assim dizem os poetas
well i dont meant it too juge but basicly my point is,most music from other singers are temparelly,like p!nks music will stay forever i gues,just a whole diffrent lever of music :)
i think p!nk is the most delacated and most pessionated person/singer who is into the music bussiness at this moment...atleast she makes music for the music it self intead of the money (yeah offcours she will be paid good offcours for sure ) atleast her music aint tha comurcial crap like lady gaga or britney spears pffff they suck and dont write their own songs like p!nk does! i'm btw not a huge fan of john legent but this combination is awasom! btw i like p!nks serious faces *lol i<3 this song
Tal, Vinne, Pink, John, Herbie & ALL involved, Thank you, you have created an emotional masterpiece from a song that was already an emtional masterpiece. Total respect to Peter Gabriel & Kate Bush for the song & so many thanks for the performance & interpretation, it is just sublime. Thank You.
@FLEALEKE ........What was I thinking ? JAB the finest, most understated & expressive guitarist of all time.He must have recorded his parts on a separate day to the video shoot...thank you for pointing this out :-)
If anyone had ever told me John Legend, P!nk and Herbie would collaborate to make this song I would have said it was impossible for it to sound like this but happily I can most certainly see that I would have been horrifically wrong
The arrangement in this collaboration is out of this world! This is music done in the best way possible. True legends...Herbie, John, Jeff Beck..you guys are great. P!nk, what a voice!!

A fabulous collaborative effort by artist from different genres of music! Stunning performance by Pink and John Legend....and Mr Hancock needs no introduction! Beautiful inspirational song!!!!
