I think of Patty Griffin singing “I don’t ever give up”.

I think of Patty Griffin singing "I don’t ever give up".

I understand.

Personally, though (like Matt Lewis, below) -- I hear "Gonna Fly Now," from the very first "Rocky" movie. :o)

From dailycaller.com:

...Lastly — and you’re not hit over the head with this in the film — but this movie works because hers is, in essence, a terrific underdog story.

Here you have a very normal person (the film opens with home video footage of a very young Sarah Palin) who has dramatic early success, but just as she reaches for the brass ring, someone pulls the rug out from under her.

Can she make a comeback? Wait and see.

There are ups and downs and heroes and villains and mistakes along the way. This is all great theater.

I’m reminded of the original “Rocky,” when Apollo Creed decides to give a “nobody” a shot at the title.

Everybody thinks Rocky is in over his head. After all, how can he beat the champ? But Rocky rises to the occasion (to me, the convention speech was the big “match”.)

And, of course — as few recall — Rocky lost the first fight...

Or Tom Petty singing “I Won’t Back Down”
