Happy 74th Birthday Peter Brian Gabriel 02/13/1950 in Surry, England.
A living legend in the progressive rock genre.
From Garden Wall to Genesis to his solo albums. Musical perfection.
Cheers Peter Brian and many more..

@nellamorra6728

we saw him last year and i saw him in '86

Not forgetting his Real World studio recordings and i think he started WOMAD? Some great achievements there also. ty

As a combat vet who struggles with mental health problems and alcoholism in a world where you feel so alone now I truly needed to hear this. Only stumbled across this video today as we received word of one of my favorite actor Matthew Perry passed away. Realizing how there’s been so many things from his interviews and book I relate to. It’s because of him I come across this song and will now hold it close to my heart and remember to not give up.

RIP Matthew Perry

@Aroseisarose15

I also came here because of Matthew Perry. This song meant a lot to him, and he felt it was the soundtrack to his life. May he rest with the angels and may you find the peace you need - perhaps Matthew’s story, which I recommend you read (I read it a year ago when it came out) will help you overcome your struggles. He would feel his life was worth all the hardships if he knew he helped someone. May you find peace tonight, whatever you are. You matter. Never forget that.

@marion3386

So glad you never gave up. And we will always remember Mathew. 😢

@francisdu7184

May we all encounter the peace we need. I trust God will keep on guiding us, we just have to open to the sincronicities, since I also came to the video through M. Perry.

@kathymajr4778

Matthew Perry mentioned this song in a interview. Said he would like it to be the soundtrack to his book if there was one. He also signs all the books “Don’t give up” above his name.

@sarahh1145

Rest in peace Matthew Perry. 💔 I've just seen an interview of him where he said he'd listen to this song and it helped him with his battle with addictions.

Rest in peace and power, Matthew Perry. I just read that this song was played at your funeral and I can see why there wasn't a dry eye in the house. I know you were there watching over all of your loved ones as they said goodbye to your earthly self. But your soul will live on forever, and you will be with them all as they continue on in their respective life journey's. And you will meet again, face to face, soul to soul, in time. Love lives on forever. It truly never dies. Keep shining onward, Matty. You are and were so loved. xoxoxoxoxo

My wife and I use to listen to the 'So' Album every weekend when it came out back in the '80s. We loved it. This month we would have been married 35 years. She was my soul mate...She died of Motor Neuron Disease last year after I cared for her every day for 15 months. Because of her condition, she couldn't hold or hug me anymore. This song always soothes the soul. It's a beautiful song of hope and when I listen to it it's as if Kate's words are my wife's words speaking back to me. It's literally her!

5 years ago my daughter was in a car accident. She had her license for a month. Her mom took the day shift and I watched over her on the night shift in the trauma center. I played this song for 3 months. I read the comments here and was fueled with hope. I prayed that my daughter would live.
During those 3 months I witnessed all her friends that would visit late night. So many people showed up. I saw the human side of healthcare workers dote on her. Late at night when the friends and family left I was able to sit with her like many fathers don’t get to with a 16 year old. When the doctors told us she wasn’t going to recover, and we said our goodbyes. The time to say goodbye was a blessing, my prayers were answered; In those 16 years she lived a full life. She was an organ donor and lives on in several different recipients. I’m proud of the life she lived, and still lives by helping others. I still garner hope on her birthday and the day she passed through this song. #livelikeliv16

Probably the most platonic love song ever written. It's not about feeling romantic feelings for another, or lust, or desire, it's about truly loving someone to the point that you want them to stay around because they make your world a better place. I appreciate a song that can touch into those emotions

@diannamcinnes364

This song literally saved me from committing suicide as a young adult. Kicked out on the streets at 16, abusive relationship after abusive relationship, homeless, wandering from town to town, going without food days on end, sleeping rough, turning to Salvation Army shelter only to have the manager in charge of it try and molest me in the middle of the night, feeling like no one would give a shit if I lived or died..then just as I thought of ending it all to stop the suffering, I heard this song, its words reached to me. Peter's voice of despair matched my own and Kate's message haunted me...her various versions of ''dont give up..'' Especially the part where she sings, ''don't give up 'cause somewhere there's a place where we belong, rest your head you worry too much, it's going to be alright, when times get rough, you can fall back on us, don't give up, please don't give up''...really helped me to hold on and not end it all...this soon became my survival song and I can easily say that 30 years later after hearing this song, my life took 360 turn...I am now living happy, 2 beautiful teenage children, a happy home, a man who works hard, loves me and treats me with respect...thank you Peter and Kate for this song and for helping me through hell...and Kate was right..there was a place where I belonged <3

I feel like I've stumbled upon this song in the past, but it didn't hit me so hard emotionally until today. Matthew Perry wanted to be remembered for how many people he'd helped with Perry House and his book, and not so much about Friends, but Friends have helped a lot of people too. I know it helped me during my lonliest, saddest, most depressing times in my life. They've always been there for me and made me laugh and forget about my sorrows. This is the first time for me to be sad for a celebrity passing away for days... Rest in peace Matthew Perry, we all thank you for everything you've done for us without even knowing.

I have had a hard time listening to this song for most of my life but now that I am nearly 42 ...I understand why she had chosen this song to help pull her out of the darkness... It really is a beautiful song. Positive lyrics that helped my Mom get out of the storm. Thank you✌️.

My daughter died at the age of 28, almost 10 years ago, after a 13 year valiant struggle with cancer. She was amazing - graduated high school 1st in her class, varsity athlete, graduated college, got married!, worked full-time until two months before she had to leave us. Miriam NEVER gave up. To this day, this beautiful song brings me to tears.

I feel so fortunate to have grown up when I did, where I did, and with whom I did. Innocence, decency and the relative lack of divisiveness — the 1980s were the best of what America can be, and it’s up to us to find our way back.

Don’t give up.

I hope his passing can help other people, not to give up and stay strong and be nice to ppl. RIP Matthew Perry.

@matthewcrome

I know no one cares but I've dealt with severe mental illnesses and an eating disorder and have recently experienced a serious relapse. I came back to this song because this song reminds me not to give into this addiction and choose life. Specifically the lyrics "we're proud of who you are" reminds me that I have family who support me. "Whatever may come, and whatever may go, that river's flowing" are so beautiful too because it reminds me that life goes on regardless of what happens, just because things are rough it doesn't mean everything will stop. This song remains brilliant over the years.

@Roweham

As a musician , I can hear how cleverly composed this song is and the constant shift from minor to major keys. When You hear PG in his despairing voice stating his loss and sadness it's in the minor key denoting sadness and solemnity. When KB provides her encouragement and comfort in her beautiful haunting voice, it's in the major key which always sounds bright, glad and happy! Very clever. There are few soungs which have this constant shift between types of keys!

I have loved this song & performance for several years. The melody & instrumentation are uniquely spiritual. The juxtaposition of Peter's deeply emotional singing & Kate Bush's ethereal voice is hauntingly beautiful. I often privately listened to this piece when faced with struggles & low moments as I raised my two sons alone. It was very moving to discover that Matthew was also inspired by this song and drew such strength from the lyrics. I wish you peace, Matthew, and the knowledge that you, too, however unintentional, lifted and inspired so very many during your time in this world.

@elenaromeo696
