Pariah

Wilson wrote it and produced it with Paul Stacey; Tayeb and Wilson alternate lead, Adam Holzman plays piano and Craig Blundell drums. A work-in-progress clip appeared on January 5, 2017 and the single on May 9, 2017, with a video on May 18. Wilson wrote on his site that it is a quintessential Don't Give Up song, a positive message extracted from the gloom, starting with an arpeggiated synthesizer and ending in a white-out ethereal shoegazer guitar section. Tayeb was there for three days and sang on about seven songs, and Stacey pushed him to sing live opposite her, which was not easy for him, making him focus on being a singer rather than a writer who happens to sing.

AllMusic's Thom Jurek and Progarchy compared it to Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush's "Don't Give Up"; DPRP's reviewers disagreed, one calling it an effective ballad, another a dreamy pop song, a dime a dozen. It was also used in a game trailer for Last Day of June. A demo (4:58) is on the deluxe bonus disc, and the live version at the Royal Albert Hall, filmed on March 29, 2018, runs 5:07. Setlist.fm counts 205 plays, 10th among his songs; it was ninth in the set in Sydney and Brisbane in November 2025 and played at the London Palladium on May 13, 2025 with Tayeb's images on the screen.
