Villan Posted July 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 And here's the lyrics "Don't Give Up" in this proud land we grew up strong we were wanted all along I was taught to fight, taught to win I never thought I could fail no fight left or so it seems I am a man whose dreams have all deserted I've changed my face, I've changed my name but no one wants you when you lose don't give up 'cos you have friends don't give up you're not beaten yet don't give up I know you can make it good though I saw it all around never thought I could be affected thought that we'd be the last to go it is so strange the way things turn drove the night toward my home the place that I was born, on the lakeside as daylight broke, I saw the earth the trees had burned down to the ground don't give up you still have us don't give up we don't need much of anything 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 'got to walk out of here I can't take anymore going to stand on that bridge keep my eyes down below whatever may come and whatever may go that river's flowing that river's flowing moved on to another town tried hard to settle down for every job, so many men so many men no-one needs don't give up 'cause you have friends don't give up you're not the only one don't give up no reason to be ashamed don't give up you still have us don't give up now we're proud of who you are don't give up you know it's never been easy don't give up 'cause I believe there's the a place there's a place where we belong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abstract312 Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 There you go....Corpse just said he really appreciates your and Fed Up's song, and that he is feeling much better after last night's session in Bosnian. I always knew that grammar can heal everything but nobody ever believed me that, I somehow managed to convince him to listen to my presentations last night and it worked! Many thanks gals from him and from me of course! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villan Posted July 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 so glad that people are also finding this beautiful song uplifting too... i know there is probably an "uplifting song" thread here somewhere but please feel free to add any suggestions to this post too if you feel you maybe wanna i especially liked this song cos of the lyrics about not giving up cos you have friends - cos i know that most of us here are only on-line friends - but that friendship can be as real as real life - in some cases stronger... and i think that this song also seems to sum up something that i hold very dear about this forum and the love and support that we all get here and indeed the friendships that we make here that, to me personally, has been something that has brought me through some very dark times when everything else in my life has been quite frankly shite and appeared pointless...

Apollo 13 Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 Such a beautiful song.................and an inspiration to anyone........................sadly, heavy hearts, with heavy souls, cannot encompass the beauty that is Peter Gabriel in this track............although I would advocate a very different experience and, Gabriel's finest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo 13 Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 And with age, comes greatness I know...........90% of people just don't get it.......is that stupidity or ignorance?, laissez faire or plain don't give a shit?, but for us 10%...........just how fucking cool is tthat?!!............complex, challenging, astute!! IMHO one of the greatest songwriters of his era........to the masses?.....some bloke who wrote songs Such a shame that the masses are so gullible!!

moonbeam beth Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 I am bringing this thread up again, because the content and conversation, people are having, is expressing much of what I would try to say and express to others tonight... Also the songs are lovely, maybe they will give a little lift, and positive reason, to allow some tears to flow... We are not alone out here...it just very much feels like it sometimes... Well wishes to everyone trying to find ways to cope, MBB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
