SONG TO OUR DAUGHTER! | FIRST TIME HEARING Peter Gabriel - Don’t Give Up (ft. Kate Bush) REACTION 

Kate Bush is awesome. "Running Up That Hill", "Wuthering Heights", "This Woman's Work", "Babushka", "Cloudbusting"

This song has been credited by many people for changing their minds about committing suicide (including Elton John, who said it saved him from drug overdose). Peter Gabriel was inspired to write this song after looking at pictures of families living in the "dust bowl" during the 1930's depression era, and seeing the desperation and hopelessness in their eyes. He first asked Dolly Parton to sing the duet with him, but she declined. Gabriel then asked his good friend (and fellow musical genius) Kate Bush to do it. Producer Daniel Lanois said that when Kate came into the studio to record her part everyone there was awe-struck, that they all felt like an angel had come down from heaven to sing for them. Peter Gabriel is one of my favorite artists, but in my opinion it's Kate Bush that really makes this song magical. You should really explore her music, there is just no one like her. A true innovator and pioneer for women in the music industry, she is incredibly influential and highly respected. Another note of trivia, bass extraordinaire Tony Levin was trying the find the right sound for his bass on this track, but just couldn't get the sound he wanted. He happened to have his baby girl's diaper bag with him in the studio, and right before the recording, he stuffed a diaper under his bass strings, and got that great muted sound that he had been looking for.

Kate Bush is a must listen. Unbelievable talent.

"Don't give up You still have us Don't give up now, we're proud of who you are." --Those two lines can save & change someone's life. They did for me. ❤

I thought this song was okay when it came out, but as an adult... it really hits home. I have a new appreciation for it now. "In Your Eyes" by Peter Gabriel is one of his best. If you do the live version, the female vocalist is Paula Cole and she has a spectacular voice as well. You will love it.

Ahh Kate Bush and Peter Gabriel are magnificent together!👏🏼👏🏼 I'm looking forward to this. If you like Kate Bush can I recommend 'This Woman's Work' by her? It always brings me to the verge of tears that song but it's a masterpiece ❤💙

*Kate Bush - Running Up That Hill*

This is my and my husband's song. Both turning 65 this year. Times are always tough for working class couples, but if you can hold on to each other you can make it all the way through to the end and overcome whatever tries to destroy you.

MUST HEAR Classics,, Peter Gabriel "Games Without Frontiers",, "Lovetown",, "Digging In The Dirt",, "Mercy Street",, "Solsbury Hill",, "Red Rain",, "That Voice Again" & "Steam"

For Peter Gabriel I recommend “Red Rain”, “In your Eyes”, “Solsbury Hill”, and “Mercy Street”

This song was us 25+ years ago. Husband put out of work during a recession..we had a mortgage and 2 small boys. He was over qualified or considered too old at mid 30’s ( meaning too expensive for his experience in industry)when applying for countless jobs. It was agony watching him lose confidence and slowly sink into depression as he felt a failure. This struggle carried on and off over 5 years. We got through and became modestly successful enough to keep a lovely home and put our boys through university. To anyone struggling, just take things a day at a time. It will come right in the end. If things aren’t right now, then it’s not the end. Love each other, persevere, don’t be too proud to lean on friends and family. Our life started to change after a phone call late one evening. ❤️

You have to watch the music video " Babooshka" written and performed by Kate Bush. She is a great singer, performance artist and writes her own songs. Will blow you away.

Kate Bush.. "Running up that hill" is my favorite song of hers.. the video is a must because she's a very visual performer!.

The song was inspired by the Depression-era photographs of Dorothea Lange, showing poverty-stricken Americans in Dust Bowl conditions. Gabriel saw Lange's images in a 1973 book titled In This Proud Land. He felt that a song based on this was wholly appropriate to difficult economic conditions in England under the premiership of Margaret Thatcher. He composed lyrics about a man whose unemployment causes stress in his domestic relationship. The verses, sung by Gabriel, describe the man's feelings of isolation, loneliness and despair; the choruses, sung by Bush, offer words of hope and encouragement.

You gotta check out more Kate Bush. She's an absolute genius.

Kate Bush This woman's work

If you like Maxwell's version of This Woman's Work, you'll love Kate Bush's

Kate Bush has a whole bunch of great stuff to watch.

My first time hearing this song and Kate Bush..And I'm surely liking it.Thanks

Two of the best singers/performers ever!! This song from the album "So". Try "Red rain", "In your eyes". Well all of them, really! Sledgehammer could be the least best song on the album... Just sayin´! And that is a fantastic song!! Kate Bush: Do "Cloudbusting", "Babuschka", "Running up that hill" and first and foremost: "This woman´s work"! Thanks guys for this! 🙂

Powerful Female Vocalists:: Kate Bush "Running Up That Hill" (A Deal With God)...Mazzy Star "Fade Into You"...Tanita Tikaram "Twist In My Sobriety" ...Drill "What You Are" & The Innocence Mission "Bright As Yellow"

He is an absolutely amazing song writer

Actually one of the best love songs (and love videos) ever.

I suggest In our eyes from the Secret world live tour. Peter Gabriel is one of the best.

Everyone should be so lucky to have a beautiful voice of encouragement in their ear from time to time. If you do, you're blessed. Go tell them how much you love and appreciate them.

Just beautiful x

This album, So, by Peter Gabriel is considered one of the best albums of all time (normally in the top 300 on most lists). The entire album is creative, blends world cultural influences, and has an amazing quality and diversity.

Its a constant amazement to me that people who are 'into music' haven't heard of, or listened to Kate, or, come to that, Peter.

Kate Bush: Cloudbusting / Running up that hill / This womans work / The man with a child in his eyes etc. etc. 👌🏻❤

Kate bush's "This Woman's Work" is a must. Next Peter Gabriel "In Your Eyes" LIVE from (Secret World) Tour

You should read the comment section of this original video. This song has saved MANY people from ending their lives. 🙌

I loved this. It was new to me, and our children are older than we were when they were born. A loving parent wants little more than happy, strong, capable children who will not give up. Thank you for this one! ❤️

We are very very lucky to have her here in the uk. And PG too. She’s a unique artist and very very very talented. One of a kind.

One of the best collaborations and songs ever

Kate Bush is unique Her voice is Unique you need to check a few of her songs out Wuthering Heights . The Man With The Child In His Eyes.. Babooshka..This Woman’s Work..Running Up That Hill

You guys will love this one - fantastic performance from both of them, and a song full of such hope. Peace and love to the fam!

Recklezz - If you're going to check out more songs by Kate Bush, expect strangeness. She's a very unique and eccentric artist, musically, lyrically and visually.

Kate Bush is a very creative British artist. In 1978, She became the first female artist to achieve a UK number one with a self-written song and in 2014 also became the first female artist in history to have eight albums simultaneously in the UK charts

Kate Bush is one of the best artists in the world. Please react to “ A woman’s work”. You’ll probably recognize it but her version is the original.

2 of the greatest English voices right there. Kate Bush is a musical genius.

Peter Gabriel 'SO' and 'US' worth a listen plus Kate's 'The hounds of Love' and 'The Sensual world' and everything ha!🎶💚💜

Peter Gabriel ,first singer of group GENESIS

This song was so powerful when it came out because it the male voice/lyrics were allowed to be vulnerable and in pain and it was the female voice/lyrics that were there for support. Being thought of as vulnerable as a male in the 80's wasn't as accepted by society back in the day.

Peter is absolutely fantastic !!!!!!!

Just beautiful.

Kate Bush is like that voice you appreciate like a good wine, the perfect glass .

I could tell you both were listening to every word. It is a very emotional song. Glad you liked it b

I have to say, Kate Bush has one of the most emotive voices I've ever heard. Great reaction.

Another great duet - NENAH CHERRY the rapper with the song "7 seconds" was a huge world wide hit, and still great to this day./!!!!!!

If you fail you get up and keep going and you learn from your mistakes. It's nice in this day and age to hear a young man like you acknowledge those facts. You have your head straight and that's refreshing to see. Keep up the good work!

The phrases Kate sings are the words of encouragement Peter's first wife Jill would give him when he was feeling down.

One of my favourite videos of all time...

Oh you must check out Kate Bush and her music. She hits differently. Try “Running Up That Hill” for starters.

Kate Bush is one of most amazing original and unique performers there is. Please give her a listen. This is a beautiful song.

1986…. The doctors found a brain tumour in my Dad and he underwent a 10 hour life saving operation … I left work early and picked up my car at the train station… as I drove away I turned on the radio and this song was playing… first time I had heard it It will always be a beacon of hope for me… ( ps my old fella died aged 91 in 2018)

Undisputable the greatest and most awesome hug of pop history. What a song, great text and brilliant voices (each of them and even better when togehter). My favorite duett ....

You should check out his song "in your eyes" secret world live...... you will love it ✌️

True that Kate has a wonderful voice, but so too does Peter. His voice here in this video is absolutely outstanding.

Such a beautiful song. 💕 Check out the Live version of "In Your Eyes" from Peter Gabriel and "This Woman's Work" from Kate Bush. You'll definitely love those. They both have so many great songs. Gabriel used to be Genesis' lead singer before he went solo. My favourite Genesis song with him as singer "Firth of Fifth" . Also a Must Listen. A masterpiece.

Seen him live twice!!! Incredible! Missed Kate Bush last live performance but love the CD XXX don't give up is so beautiful💚💜🙏🎶

Kate Bush "Woman's Work". Gorgeous gorgeous song.

Kate Bush- Running Up that Hill. Great reaction!

You learn more from failure than from success.

Peter Gabriel will forever be one of the greatests .

Kate Bush's Running Up That Hill is one of Outkasts Big Boi's favorite songs EVER! He does a video about the song and meaning to him it's amazing....

I forgot how good Peter Gabriel’s voice was

People my age and older they don't know how to work with too much technology, I do truly believe that if you fail at something you must try again, don't be a quitter. When I was in Nursing School I failed a quiz, it wasn't a major test or anything but I had never made an F in my life and to walk away with an F just made me dig in harder. I graduated at the top of my class.

Solsbury Hill by Peter and this woman's work by Kate are brilliant

And now we begin an affair with true, next-tier music 🎶 Welcome, Reckless, this is a really fun journey.

This song has saved lives.

PLEASE watch " in your eyes" the live spirit world concert...you will LOVE it...guaranteed

More Kate Bush!!! This Woman’s Work

Hey I like that part at the end you got Tony Levin on base and they're saying don't give up don't give up don't give up you know with harmonies in this and that and the bass part is just got a little Funk to it but yeah I just wait till you hear some more Kate Bush it'll blow your mind captain I can do that one song Running up that hill that will really do a number on you

This ballad is about a desperate man, unemployed, that his wife is trying to prevent from sinking. The verses, sung by Gabriel, describe feelings of isolation and despair; the choruses, sung by Bush, offer words of hope and encouragement.

Watch Kate's own music on her own

Awww yeah…. Now you need to follow the Kate Bush trail… “Running up that hill” “Cloudbusting” “This Woman’s Work”.

You two are a lovely family guys.. greetings from British guy in south east asia. Peter Gabriel So album 1986.. i was 14. That's my teenage era. Great time to hear music in the charts.

This is an powerful song, awesome duet. For another Peter Gabriel duet - this time with Laurie Anderson - give "This is the Picture" a try.

The bridge in the middle has real gospel vibes. Much has been said of Kate's vocals but Peters is so expressive, soulful with some grit to it.

This song, like Everybody Hurts, saves lives. There can’t be any more powerful impact for a songwriter to have IMO.

A pair of astonishing artists. Love his work with Genesis('Firth of Fifth', 'Carpet Crawlers', 'Supper's Ready') and solo('Biko', 'Modern Love'). I personally have an especial fondness for and bond with her fourth album 'The Dreaming', the first, iirc, recorded using a Fairlight music computer, again, iirc, at Peter Gabriel's own studio several years before this: the title track, 'Them Heavy People', 'Suspended In Jaffa' and 'Pull Out the Pin' are among my faves. If you get to that last one, you might consider pairing it with Billy Joel's 'Goodnight Saigon', solely on the basis of subject matter. Kate has rarely toured or even performed much in public, but if you can, check out her live performance from 1979, the 'Tour of Life' at the Hammersmith Odeon, a tour-de-force combining music, dance, costumes and theatrics. I remember finding it on TV in the late 80s-early 90s and my late father joining me in watching it and sharing my profound awe and enjoyment of her versatility, vision, musicality and overall top-tier artistry. Also listen for 'Wow.'

One of the best songs ever, brings me nearly to tears. 👍

The album this song comes from, “So” is a masterpiece in my opinion. I’d like to hear someone do “Red Rain” off the same album.

young man you are sharp as HELL....love your reactions.

"Man with the child in his eyes " by Kate Bush us beautiful and haunting ❤️

We all need to fail sometimes. It helps us learn. It helps us become stronger.

These two collab'd on a few songs, all great. Kate Bush though is a hugely successful stand alone artist. There's no one like her, she's unique and her lyrics go deep. You liked her voice? So start with Wuthering Heights, which put her on the map. Then go from there. I love what you guys are doing, keep it going 💜

Kate Bush is fantastic. We listen a lot to her back in the days 👍😎

If you like Kate Bush her voice listen to Cloudbusting or Wuthering Heights

the generation of 2000 + SO MUCH NEED TO HEAR THIS SONG with all the media harrasments and influence that makes you take bad decisions.... DON'T GIVE UP, YOU STILL HAVE US (your friends, your family) the rest is just materials, it can be replace, your family NOPE, LOVE FRIENDSHIP TRUST cannot be bought young darlings... from a woman born in 1960 who played with cardbord boxes in the back yard and had more fun with that than anything else

This song is about living through a time when there’s no way to succeed. Post Great Depression. He talks of there being dozens of men for each job. It a different kind of desperation than most can imagine. True hopelessness.

Peter Gabriel - digging in the dirt or in your eyes. Kate Bush - running up that hill is iconic!

Think there is a difference between failing, and the failing and feeling lost/rejected and struggling to recover. It now resonates a lot more with me than when I first got the albumn.

This is 🔥

Rod Stewart - forever young (official video) If you have kids...you'll wanna hear that one. PS: That's his real son in the video...if you ever come around to it.

Please consider watching Solsbury Hill by Peter Gabriel, another soul touching song.

This is one of my favorite songs ever. It has such sentimental meaning to me from my teenage years. I cannot listen to it without crying. ❤️

This song came out when I was a depressed and lonely teenager. It got me through those tough times.

Kate Bush is beautiful, artistic.. from London.. treasure fairy.

Gabriel actually wrote this with Dolly Parton in mind. I couldn't imagine that but that's who he wanted to sing that part.
