LINER NOTES:
I chose this Peter Gabriel song because it seemed relevant these days, the lyrics having originally been inspired by some images from the Great Depression. Bryce Bloom nailed the bass groove, and I just did my best to keep up. Nicely done, Bryce.
The cinematography was done by Grant Kaufman, a 17-year-old film student (and son of one of my best friends in high school, David Kaufman). He also provided the custom color grading LUT (lookup table), and thus the look, as well. Great job, Grant.

ABOUT THE RECORDING:
Bryce sent me his bass recording, which he did at his own home studio. I recorded my guitars and vocals at my home studio. I edited the audio and the video. We filmed at Legion Park in Boulder, Colorado. It felt right to return to Boulder for this one, the "proud land" where I had gone to high school.

So is such an iconic album of the mid 80s. It hasn’t aged one bit over time. Mike, you and Bryce have done this beautiful song a great deal of justice. Excellent cover, sir.
Thank you!
Hi Mike,
"keep my eyes down below" - the note Peter sang on "eyes" has always sent a shiver down my spine since the first time I heard it to the present day, without fail. I found myself listening to this and when it came to that part I was literally willing you to hit that note. You didn't fail and that familiar shiver ran from the nape of my neck and all the way down my back.
Very nicely done, sir!
Incredibly beautiful rendition and such a tasteful choice from Peter Gabriel's catalogue. I especially loved Bryce's soulful accompaniment. Soulful bass playing perfectly attuned to Mike's soulful vocals. Bravo and thank you for the great video. You guys are a bright light in a weary world.
Really appreciate the comments. Thank you!
Very Excellent! Thanks Mike and Bryce!
So nice, Bryce! And Hooray, Mike Massé!
Thanks so much for that outstanding, beautiful cover!
I love how the video shows you two good friends in this cold, lonely landscape - it's a perfect way to underline the meaning of the song...❤️
Thanks Mike and Bryce! Wonderfully done.
I loved this song when it first came out in the 80's. I still love this song stull. I loved your cover. Outstanding!
Thank you for sharing your talent!!!
Only Mike Massé could be *both* Peter Gabriel _and_ Kate Bush.
Merry Christmas.
I tried.............and nearly needed an ambulance!!

Such a great choice for this year.
Mike you have a wonderful voice and it's an absolute pleasure to listen. Thank you.
What a voice !
Hi Mike.
Firstly a Merry Christmas to you,Bryce and your Families.
Secondly, Wow I am almost speechless. This is as good as it gets from the performance down to the production. Unbelievably brilliant!
Your voice Mike is akin to a Fine Wine- it’s getting better with age.
Thank you for reaching out to the World during these troubled times, you are making life more comforting with these performances for many,many people,that I am sure.
Wishing you a Happy and a much more enjoyable New Year.
Take care and continue to Stay Safe.
Kind regards.
Alan.
Hand down - the best Quarantunes of 2020
Can't wait, Merry christmas
Merry Christmas Mike thanks for giving us the gift of music. Look forward to watching you and Bryce make magic!
Glad you enjoyed it. Looking forward to more projects as well.
That was beautiful, thank you.
Original key both parts ,amazing 👏👏👏
First, great song choice for this moment in time - the lyrics inspire all who struggle. Second, beautifully sung - I remain amazed at how deftly you shift between low, high and higher (falsetto) voicing and like others have said, find your voice raising the hair on the back of my neck in those peaks emotional moments. Third, am so glad you included Bryce on this - his bass work was the usual top flight and I particularly love the tempo change and funky beat that no one standing can resist bopping to. Lastly, the shoot was beautifully scripted and shot - loved seeing two friends walking and chatting, the long shots as well as the closeups. Thank you for this wonderful Christmas gift.
Thank you - glad I was able to do this one too.
Your voice is a precious gift! I love hearing you use it! Goosebumps all over!
Mad props to Bryce Bloom on his sweet bass too!
Thank You!
Wow, I knew you had incredible range, but you outdid yourself with this one, Mike! God bless you!
This is the first time I actually listened to the words in this song. Amaizing song and amazing performance!
Mike Massé is one of the few artists with the power to tear my eyes out. Well, he did it again.
This is among the best work Mike has ever done. Beautifully sung and filmed/edited with great bass contribution from Bryce 🎵🥰
I was so inspired by this to smash my guitar!!! but.......... I wo'nt give up!!
Wow just wow - The best cover ever
Great Cover Mike & Hats off to Brice for nailing Tony Levin's bassline... always loved that groovy bassline. Cheers!
I remember this song beautiful thank you
Merry Christmas! You duet exceptionally well with yourself! Very inspiring and such a beautiful dedication. I now know why this song was included in the "The Imagine Project". Great performance Mike and Bryce...thanks to both of you!
Wow! I am sooo impressed with the tremendous talent of these two. Staggering!
I have always loved this song, and you rocked it doing both parts!!!
Wow, really amazing, i find no words!!!!!!
whoa...that one strikes a deep cord! Great job all! GRANT!!!! HOLY COW!!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎅🎄🥰 MIKE and FAMILY. You are so incrediblyyyyyyyy talented and blessed! 👌🙏💞
I played this on an open mic night, but OMG you do it so much better.
Nice job Mike! Vocals = wow! Great bass playing, Bryce!
Appreciate it Scott!
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 name, I've changed my face
But no one wants you when you lose
Don't give up
'Cause 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 a place
There's a place where we belong

I found Mike in 2010 when I was in Afghanistan. I didn't have my guitar, but I found this channel. I watched a lot of the Pie Pizzeria vids. I found you again after Neil died and you did Time Stand Still. Amazing. I love this new one! Subscribed!
Fantastic cover of one of the all-time-great masterpieces. Thank You! :)
Thanks for the Christmas upload. Beautiful song, rendition, and setting. Well done Mike and Bryce. Gotta love a bass solo!
Sensationell!
Great version, guitar work lovely and simple, bass is beautifully solid.....and that voice is fantastic!
I'll be checking out more of your stuff. Thank you.
I enjoyed the take on this song. Haven't heard it in a long while.
Wonderful rendition of one of my favorite songs! Thanks to you and Bryce!
Your vocal range is a pure delight.x
Wasn't sure anyone could cover this... beautiful rendition!
Beautifully shot and beautifully sung video Mike.....Bravo

Astonishing I love your work for us in dept .... it's full of emotion
Beautiful and inspired rendition! Great Mike, as usual. Thank you
Awesome!!! So fantastic!!!! Keep it up!!
Bonjour Monsieur,
Je vous écris en français car je suis français.
C'est en cherchant un cover de cette chanson que j'ai découvert votre vidéo. Cette chanson est difficile sur le plan vocal et rares sont les hommes capables de chanter en voix de tête comme vous le faites. Bravissimo !
Désormais, mon âge ne permet presque plus de chanter cette très belle chanson d'encouragement, même si j'ai encore la chance de pouvoir encore chanter en voix de tête. Votre bassiste est très bon, gardez-le. Il a le feeling qu'il faut.
Je travaillerai cette chanson à la guitare peut-être un jour. Vous faites d'autres reprises (covers) que je vais aussi écouter.
Bonne route musicale.
Merci à vous deux.
Al.
Bryce: great playing, and nice bass, man. Sounds great! solid performance by the both of you!
Thanks Jeff. Means a lot! Hope you have a happy new year.
I love this song. And I love this cover.
Wow , just wow
I heard this song back when it was originally preformed with Peter and Kate. But this cover is so different I didn't recognize it at all. Well done well done
What an amazing voice
Hi Mike it s fantastic what you make with this song - really great - love it 👍
Very nice. Props to Bryce!
Thank you Daniel!
Best singer ever!!!!
I loved the production value of this video. And it's a perfect exclamation to end 2020 and move on to 2021, stronger and better. Cheers Mike!!
Very nice! Love this song!
Been a fan for a long time, and you've certainly helped me and some friends through this tough year, but this is just unreal. I got goosebumps at parts, just beautiful. Never ever stop playing music you brilliant brilliant man......peace out.
Thanks for watching!
Beautifully done. And at this time of year, a message so many need. Thank you.
What a great cover! Everything about it. I've always been captivated by the bass riffs in this, so really enjoyed seeing how they were done.

I like it so very much. 🙌👏👏✨
Wow, what an incredible vocal range, the guitar is so so bright and crisp! Amazing, I’m a fan for life!

Wow You guys are Great!!!!!❤
Mike, you are an amazing talent! Love this rendition of one of my favorite 80s artists! Guitar and bass sound great and your voice brings out the best in the lyrics. Thanks for the Christmas present!
Thank you for this song, Mike and Bryce! Sending you both and your families my warmest Merry Christmas greetings from Manila, Philippines.
beautiful
Damn, after a long time I came across one of my favorite covers of Africa that you did back in 2010. I checked some of your new videos and I must admit that I absolutely admire your work. Great job both of you :)
Muy lindo, me encantó la canción.
Awesome voice!
Awesome as usual! Merry Christmas Mike, hope you're having a great one!
Thankyou Mike, 0135 am.... I just needed this today, take care.
Great cover 🙌
Your vocal range, man. Just amazing. Another great one.
Thanks for watching, Aaron!
Beautiful and Passionate Version! Thank you!:)~
OMG, beautifull mike ! Nailed it again ! Such a great song, love every second of it, thank you!!
A very thoughtful tribute Mike, thanks for the music.
excellent cover
When a cover is way way way better than the original. Love the masculinity in the video. Well done.
Wow that cover
That is a fantastic cover 💕
Amazing Mike, as always, whatever you cover it's the best cover available. Would love if you try writing your own stuff!
I only ever noticed Kate Bush on the original. This version has made me appreciate the whole song. Great cover.
Nice song!
It's very cool, really
Mike, I think this is fantastic. Stepping outside the commercial/songcraft arena, I think it's great man. Excellent guitar, excellent vox, excellent mixing and mastering.
If you ever want to explore commercial viability, there are resources, brother.
Love the song man. Truly inspirational.
Ahhh Mike Mike Mike , I often wonder how many songs you trawl through before you think that’s the one, but then I think it doesn’t really matter because we all know it’s going to be as good as the last one. Having recently watched A CROCK OF GOLD the Shane Macgowan documentary maybe just maybe they’re may be a chance you could cover A pair of brown eyes by the Pogues , from one genius to another genius in my eyes............................ if not Ultravox with Vienna will surfice 😀. Looking forward to more of you and the band in 2021. Many Happy New Years to come.
Genial 👍
