If you happen to be feeling really, really, REALLY LOWDOWN.....

...here's a song that never fails to make me feel better....(and I'm a staunch agnostic/atheist!!!!) Maybe might help you too during these troubled times....for a brief. temporary. momentary. uplift...even if you don't believe in any/all the words at all...still a great melody.

6. Sometimes its songs which help you understand

that in comparison with the adversity that others have suffered things are not quite as bad as they seem.
