Another entry in my series of music videos that will both warm your heart and motivate you to reach out and change this crazy world.
First, Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush singing "Don't Give Up." A classic video, perfect for the day when you feel as though your efforts are futile, for those moments when you need an angel (in the form of the delightful Kate) telling you that "there's a place where you belong." An important message for those times of despair (and we all have them). When it seems as though life is too big, too hard, and no one really cares:
And now Bono and Alicia Keys make a perfect song even perfect-er, as they kick off Project Red. Watch this video and sing along with me on the refrain, "Don't give up [Africa]. Because there's a place where we belong." And as gift-giving season looms ahead, consider buying from Project Red, Heifer, Seva, or HandReach.

as you know, i watched Oprah that day, and i have to say i'm not that impressed with their rendition of "Don't Give Up." i just didn't think they were well suited to duet. now Gabriel and Bush on the other hand, that's deeply moving.
While I find the newer video to be visually more moving than the older Gabriel video.
I think that the Gabriel/Bush version of the song is more emotional and more compelling. It seems to me that they tried to make the Bono/Keys version upbeat, and the song does not really lend itself to being upbeat. Sure it ends on a positive note, but that does not automatically translate.
