Was für den einen Kitsch ist, ist für den anderen Kunst (oder so ähnlich).
dazu möchte ich erst mal den Liedtext voranstellen:
Peter Gabriel & Kate Bush – Don’t give up
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
‚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 that I could be affected.
Thought that we’d be 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.
KB:Rest your head
You worry too much
It’s gonna be alright
When times get rough
You can fall back on us.
Don’t give up.
Please don’t give up.
PG:’got to walk out of here
I can’t take it anymore.
Gonna 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 to another town
Tried hard to settle down-
For every job so many men
So many men, all 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 is a place
There is a place
Where we belong.
Die Strophen singt PG, den Refrain KB, an zwei Stellen habe ich es noch extra hinzugeführt.

Ja, aus diesem Grund ist es für mich nicht kitschig.
Die Musik – Schlagzeug, Percussion und Bass bilden einen sehr feinen, behutsamen Grundrhythmus – ist eine Untermalung, die sich hinter den Stimmen einordnet.
Der Kontrast der Stimmen zwischen Strophe und Refrain gibt eben auch den Inhalt wieder. Dazu kommt, daß ich Kate Bush‘ Stimme sehr gern mag, was nicht jedem so geht.
Nur das Fadeout hätte er gerne weglassen können, das schmälert das Lied meiner Meinung nach ein bißchen.
Ich habe aber keine Probleme damit, daß das Andere als Kitsch sehen.
