"Let Your Soul Be Your Pilot" as written by and Gordon Sumner....
When you're down and they're counting
When your secrets all found out
When your troubles take to mounting
When the map you have leads you to doubt
When there's no information
And the compass turns, yeah to nowhere you know well
Just let your soul be your pilot
Let your soul guide you
He'll guide you well
When the doctor failed to heal you
When no medicine chest can make you well
When no counsel leads to comfort (leads to comfort)
When there are no more lies they can tell
No more useless information and the compass spins
The compass spins between heaven and hell
Just let your soul be your pilot
Let your soul guide you
He'll guide you well
And your eyes turn towards the window pane
To the lights upon the hill
The distance seems so strange to you now
And the dark room seems so still
Let your pain be my sorrow
Let your tears be my tears too
Let your courage be my model
That the north you find will still be true
Oh, when there's no more information
And the compass turns, the compass turns
To nowhere that you know well
Let your soul be your pilot
Let your soul guide you
Let your soul guide you
Let your soul guide you upon your way
(Let your soul guide you)
Let your soul
When your down, let it come to you
Let your soul guide you
Let your soul guide you
Be your guidance, yeah
When your secret all found out
Let your soul guide you
Let your soul
When there's no
Affirmation, let your soul, let your soul
When your secrets all found out
When your troubles take to mounting
When the map you have leads you to doubt
When there's no information
And the compass turns, yeah to nowhere you know well
Just let your soul be your pilot
Let your soul guide you
He'll guide you well
When the doctor failed to heal you
When no medicine chest can make you well
When no counsel leads to comfort (leads to comfort)
When there are no more lies they can tell
No more useless information and the compass spins
The compass spins between heaven and hell
Just let your soul be your pilot
Let your soul guide you
He'll guide you well
And your eyes turn towards the window pane
To the lights upon the hill
The distance seems so strange to you now
And the dark room seems so still
Let your pain be my sorrow
Let your tears be my tears too
Let your courage be my model
That the north you find will still be true
Oh, when there's no more information
And the compass turns, the compass turns
To nowhere that you know well
Let your soul be your pilot
Let your soul guide you
Let your soul guide you
Let your soul guide you upon your way
(Let your soul guide you)
Let your soul
When your down, let it come to you
Let your soul guide you
Let your soul guide you
Be your guidance, yeah
When your secret all found out
Let your soul guide you
Let your soul
When there's no
Affirmation, let your soul, let your soul

To my mind, it is also very true. In the end (when everything else has failed or become unimportant) our soul and what our soul wants and needs is the only thing that matters.
In our modern, hurried world we often forget that we even have a soul - we do what we ought to do, what people expect from us, what society asks of us, what we've been told was right, ... But every now and then, we need a moment all on our own, to recover not only our exhausted bodies but also our souls. Personally, good and uplifting music has always been what helps me best to recover. ; )
