February 19 - Don't Give Up

Today's song is another gem from Peter Gabriel's So album from 1986. Where I failed to mention that In Your Eyes feature Senegalese singer Youssou N'Dour, I will not forget to mention his duet partner on today's song, the brilliant Kate Bush. Now, there isn't a single weak point or person on this album. Produced by Daniel Lanois, featuring his regular touring band on this track (with the exception of David Sancious, as Peter Gabriel played keyboards himself in the studio): Papa Bear Tony Levin, a studio giant most known for his work with King Crimson and PG on bass, David Rhodes on guitar, and Manu Katché, who has worked with just about everybody including Sting, Jan Garbarek, and Joni Mitchell, on drums.

After spending the last two days at St.Mary's hospital, this song really helped keeping my spirits up - and all my friends on Facebook seemed to sing it to me. It has been heartwarming to see the comments and likes, and in this situation they have been really meaningful. This song has been playing in my head for quite some time, but it's time to actually listen to it as well. Here is Peter Gabriel with Kate Bush with Don't Give Up.
