Don't Give Up


As a rule I am not a fan of cover versions. However, there are always exceptions.
The new version of `Don't Give Up' by Shannon Noll and Natalie Bassingthwaigte is exceptional. It's been released as the lead single from an album called Songs Of Hope And Journey which aims to raise money for Beyond Blue, an organisation which raises awareness for depression.
I've got to say that listening to this song really does give you a lift, no pun intended (re Shannon's album title). It's important that anyone going through a tough time, and we all do, not to lose hope and not to surrender. I don't always practice what I'm preaching here but I'm trying.
