PETER GABRIEL Cuando recién publicaron Secret World, hace décadas, vi este concierto tantas veces hasta casi aprenderlo no sólo de memoria sino de corazón porque palpité con Peter Gabriel y todos los que le acompañaban en un concierto impecablemente vestido con lo mejor de la tecnología de la época. De allí esta interpretación con su corista de entonces -Paula Cole- de la inolvidable para mí 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. Ive changed my face, Ive changed my name. But no one wants you when you lose. Dont give up, Cause you have friends. Dont give up, Youre not beaten yet. Dont give up, I know you can make it good. Though I saw it all around, Never thought I could be affected. Thought that wed 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. Dont give up, You still have us. Dont give up, We dont need much of anything. Dont give up, Cause somewhere theres a place Where we belong. Rest your head. You worry too much. Its going to be alright. When times get rough You can fall back on us. Dont give up, Please dont give up. Got to walk out of here, I cant take anymore. Going to stand on that bridge, Keep my eyes down below, Whatever may come And whatever may go. That rivers flowing. That rivers flowing. Moved on to another town, Tried hard to settle down. For every job, so many men, So many men no one needs. Dont give up, Cause you have friends. Dont give up, Youre not the only one. Dont give up, No reason to be ashamed. Dont give up, You still have us. Dont give up now, Were proud of who you are. Dont give up, You know its never been easy. Dont give up, Cause I believe theres a place, Theres a place where we belong.
