Peter Gabriel & Kate Bush - Don't give up (first version)

* Two videos were made. One of the promos showed Bush and Gabriel hugging for the duration of the song. Co-director Kevin Godley recalled in Q Magazine August 2008: "There wasn't a sexual connotation, just one of mutual support. But the song isn't sentimental or nostalgic, just incredibly moving."

* Gabriel: "The basic idea is that handling failure is one of the hardest things we have to learn to do."

* Peter Gabriel's then-wife Jill told Q Magazine that she inspired this song. She said: "It's about us. When (Peter) gets into one of his deep depressions, I am always saying, Don't give up."

EDIT on 29.08.2009 - A year ago the video has been suspended due to Universal Music Group copyright infringement but YT made it available again.

Created in Thatchers time, this beautifully, melancholic song was a theme for the people who had work, but were literally beaten and told nothing was left for them. Perhaps the mines had nothing more to offer, but our government gave those, then and now, nothing to take it's place, leaving workers and families, with no work, fighting each other for work and principles. Rest in where ever you are, you evil cow.

[Murielle Bourny]

The song of my generation.Thatcher destroyed many good people to get what she wanted!

And now the tories are doing the same again,will we ever learn!

I've got the champagne on ice for the day she goes.We will be dancing in the streets that day.
