“When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change; at such a moment, there is no point in pretending that nothing has happened or in saying that we are not yet ready.
The challenge will not wait.
Life does not look back.
A week is more than enough time for us to decide whether or not to accept our destiny.”
Herbie Hancock joined forces with P!nk and John Legend and the end product was this song that says so much and addresses part of the current reality of our world.
“Everybody is coming together at the table. I feel optimistic. Pain is what creates my music. I’m useless when I’m happy. Pain is my motivator. Frustration, anger, confusion, loneliness. We live in a chaotic world. This chaos is bringing the three of us into one room.”
Herbie Hancock ~The Imagine Project~
Herbie Hancock’s star-studded The Imagine Project was several years in the making, recorded in seven countries with musicians from all over the globe. Hancock’s band with producer/bassist Larry Klein, drummer Vinnie Colaiuta, percussionist Alex Acuña, and guitarist Lionel Loueke is a common denominator. Much of what’s here is interpretations of well-known pop, folk, and soul songs.
That said,The Imagine Project (named for the John Lennon’s song) is a seamless, successful series of collaborations.
It’s a cover of Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush “Don’t Give Up”
~~Lyrics~~
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 I’ve changed my face, I’ve changed my name But no one wants you when you lose
Don’t give up ‘cos you have friends Don’t give up You’re not beaten yet Don’t give up I know you can make it good
Though I saw it all around Never thought I could be affected Thought that we’d 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
Don’t give up You still have us Don’t give up We don’t need much of anything Don’t give up ’cause somewhere there’s a place Where we belong
Rest your head You worry too much It’s going to be alright When times get rough You can fall back on us Don’t give up Please don’t give up
‘got to walk out of here I can’t take anymore Going to stand on that bridge Keep my eyes down below Whatever may come And whatever may go That river’s flowing That river’s flowing
Moved on to another town Tried hard to settle down For every job, so many men So many men no-one needs
Don’t give up ’cause you have friends Don’t give up You’re not the only one Don’t give up No reason to be ashamed Don’t give up You still have us Don’t give up now We’re proud of who you are Don’t give up You know it’s never been easy Don’t give up ’cause I believe there’s the a place There’s a place where we belong
It Is What It Is
