Shannon Noll - Don't Give Up Lyrics
[Shannon]
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
[Natalie]
Dont give up
cos you have friends
Dont give up
Youre not beaten yet
I know you can make it good
[Shannon]
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
[Natalie]
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
[Shannon]
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
[Natalie]
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 the a place
Theres a place where we belong

Shannon Noll Don't Give Up Comments
Absolutely great cover! Shannon should have won Australian Idol, the clown who won is nothing comparing to Shannon's talent.
Best cover of this song I have heard. Great job!
🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Love this man his music is out off this would
just great
Bloody LOVE this!!
I love this song.very powerful.i also reached a very low point in my life.one of many songs that help me lift my spirits.
just great.
helo all ! I write to you from North Africa berber town kabylie for me this is better than the original.
This Song Definitely Reminds me Of Sora And Kairi From Kingdom Hearts
Possibly the worst cover of this song ever ?
This is clearly better than the original.
I think this version rocks! Great song sung so well by two real Aussie talents.
The question is why did Shannon sing this song with her in the first place? I mean lets face it, she cant sing or for that fact act.I really mean she cant sing for shit if you have hear any of her songs they are just trash sorry to say but its true. She should have just stayed on the TY show and hope for the best
Sounds like a voiceover by Natalie bassingthwaighte. Partly her voice too.
I love and always have loved Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush version it will always be special.They did a great job. I am not a fan of a lot of remakes. There is a lot of music that should be left alone and not remade. However I really enjoy this version. Shannon and Natalie have made their version of this really cool. Good job guys!
This one is a gem!! a
I appreciate the respect and skill shown here.
don't give up
i was born on the lakeside.
and as I grew .
I saw the Earth .
the trees were burned down to the ground.
soon we will have to eat our money.
To be honest, to bare your soul, that mean opening yourself to he attacked, with that, I love this
some songs play 30 sec ads. fuck you where i see the lyrics version
2:10 and 2:20 glich in autotune. lol.
the fires in Gippsland were terrifying laine I agree with you.i lived there at that time and lost 2 friends,you did the right thing.and id alsolike to thank Shannon and Natalie for their help through that horrible time
An awesome tune....
they done this song for charity so theres nothing for people to complain about..
While both do okay this cover doesn't grab me as much as the live cover done on Rockwiz by Jeff Martin and Tina Arena. The arrangement in this version seemed to have the one tempo, it didn't step up or step down.
Shannon Noll is killing it and Natalie Bassingthwaighte, well let's just say she will have to grow on me
Yasmin Edmonson I totally agree with you regarding noll he does it well ....bassingthwaighte was a bit weak at start but at the end she did very well
Man Nollsy had some bangers
Is this song about not winning Australian Idol?
Shannon noll is still the best.
OMG! I think Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush would be so proud of Shannon Noll and Natalie Bassingtwaite. Nice work Aussies. xxx
Shannon Noll and Natalie clearly did a better job than the original...so...no maybe they're not pleased. The original version was just weird.
Needs to be remixed by Skrillex
well done
FUCKING ROBBERY
what do you mean by ROBBERY
I love the original - And to his credit Shannon Noll is excellent, I felt the mood of Natalie Bassingthwaites part didn't come across right. Nothing wrong with her voice, just the way she sang her part.
Bit dodgy - Kate Bush way better man !!
That was an excellent redemption by two nice Aussie Artists.
what were they redeeming themselves from?
FuckGodism Ozziee
FuckGodism I think the word you were looking for was rendition....
Go champ, one of my Friday night faves for us that have to keep moving forward with our loved ones. Respect.
Cool combo.
Shannon Noll is so washed up
Sounds like a version made for two pop country singers on a tv voice talent show. In other words... completely castrated
amunra71 if you consider Shannon Noll a pop singer, I assume you must think John legend sings metal, and Michael Jackson the king of screamo? What are you talking about?
Shannon Noll is a pop singer but then again Gabriel is as well.
TheDinoKitteh Same breath? Wow.
Shannon Noll is a rock/country singer. Not pop
A great version of the song; the definitely captured the spirit of it. Depression doesn't get better-- it is a poison. You, however, do. You learn and grow and in time, with effort and endurance, all the broken thoughts that spill from that poison are just a puddled memory.
Just focus on the tiniest thing and learn to love it (for me it was Star Trek and a nice bitter tea). If you can love that one tiny thing, you can love it all (like my newly married wife and this song:p).
If you don't like the song I'm cool with that, but I i don't expect hate for loving it. I can easily say that this was the one song that got me through after the bushfires in 2009, and my little people needed a mum that felt the encouragement that this song gave me to keep on going when it all felt way too much.... So from me I say a very big thank you to both Shannon & Natalie, you'll probably never know what you did for my family and I. It's people like you guys that are the reason I love this country and its spirit
Funny. I consider this a laymans prophecy of humanities future. Not an inspirational song but a warning song. You haven't seen suffering yet you silly bitch
So you kiss her
mr biscuits It’s not a warning song, it’s a song about not giving up when times are tough, you have to keep fighting. Who the hell are you to tell the poster she’s never seen suffering, you have no idea what she has been through and calling her a silly bitch was unnecessary.
Better than the original.
I wouldn't go that far. But, an interesting version. I don't hate it.
pff whatever, it's not the beginning of a growth on the originals anus
also this is better than the original..( my opinion) don't start hating ..
+F MT agree
tbh she's really bad, Shannon on the other hand is amazing as always ..
All I heard was two ducks farting back and forward to each other for 4 and a half minutes. Waaaaaaaaack
Very beautiful!!
I just re-heard the original version of this the other day. I was surprised after listening to both versions that I actually like this one better. I'm stunned that I prefer Natalie over Kate Bush... but I do!
I hope your head drops off. Then rolls into an open septic pit.
Wow, lol, what an over reaction to my music preferences. I like what I like.
Listen to John Legend/Pink....they do an amazing version. I was surprised that I liked this version, I am not a Nat Bassingthwaight fan.
Ditto Nat does not quite cut the mustard on this one !!
I really love. Shanon ur such a good singer ur in good in love song music
can someone explain to me how you people think natalie ruined this song?
Probably just angry misogynists who hate on all women
Natalie doesnt ruin this song. It sounds like it should.
I live on the land. I am dealing with depression, this version is better than the original. For what it represents. I have mates who took their own lives because of the drought and lack of understanding. just don't listen to it if you don't like it. Beyond blue have helped so many, who were not able to see a way out of their condition , they were and are a light of hope when all you can see is darkness.
The song was done for charity dude, namely the charity dealing with depression called beyondblue. It's not as good as the Peter Gabriel Kate Bush version, but being that this was done for a very good cause, I think they can be forgiven and by the way, it's not as bad as you would make out.
Please never do this again
Shannon was good but Nat ruined it for me.
Original much better obviously but John Legend / Pink's version on Herbies album kills this version.
For a good cause though :)
I <3 this song :)
5 people gave up!
pretty.
love originals but nollsy does well against them even with moving pictures but on this wins hands down
Why the fuck did they bother. 1986 has been and gone but one of the things I remember so clearly is Peter Gabriels, "So", from that year. Nothing could compare to that songs production and Noll's management had their heads up their asses to even think that that song would be a good idea. Trite, at best.
3 people gave up.
ive seen worse done to this sonb
@OhMercyMe1 (2) Well I was kinda sleepy,now I cant understand what i typed there
@OhMercyMe1 Well really saying you call1 pop crap,2calling a singer crap,3calling music crap,now I call you crap how do you feel,awful or 2 most likely you ignore me
I think I'm in love. <3
Love this song <3
Oh dear they've murdered this. They've turned a song about despair into a chirpy pop tune :(
George Prowse Hardly ...
I met Natalie on X Factor
I love this song, just as much today as when it came out, both beautiful singers and the Lyrics are So True to so many people, Beautiful song \m/
Thumps up if you listen to this 2012 Happy new year
and they left the funkiest part out from the original, good cover overall.
I was always taught be be strong and always prtotect our family and all family and friends that mattered and that were important, and that has failed me as a human being...
@sophiebabeexox its been out for 5 years
con grats guys this would have been an amazing clip if Nat put a little more feeling into the song and made it more realistic , please nat not bagging you your a princess
Oh ... how i can relate to this song...
ok i will give up
great can't belive i mean it makes me tingle
I miss Shannon Noll..
