Willie Nelson and Sinead O'Connor do Peter Gabriel's "Don't Give Up", from 1993. I had never heard this version before, and it's just fine.

I love both their voices. I would never think to put those two voices together, but it's good.

That got the song in my head and I went over to the original Peter Gabriel version on YouTube to have a listen.

There are over 10,000 comments on Peter Gabriel's version where people just spill their guts about how his song literally saved their lives and got them through their pain and grief.

That kind of blew me away. Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush have probably saved thousands of lives just by singing.
