Maire Brennan and Michael McDonald - Don’t Give Up

A song released as part of a Contemporary Christian album of inspirational songs by various artists called “Streams“ back in 1999. This cover of a Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush duet features Irish folk singer Maire Brennan, once was part of a group called Clannad, and multi-talented American singer Michael McDonald reversing singing roles from Gabriel and Bush’s original version. Written by Peter Gabriel, the song offers encouragement during life’s difficult struggles. The original version is an amazing classic but this version deserves much credit for taking a lovely song to a certain ambience and eliciting a deeper emotional experience in my opinion.
