This song is unbelievable. My brother played it at his wedding as he and his beautiful bride were walking out. I love it so much it reminds me so much of that I feel like I am back there every time I hear it. I wish there were more comments, but I am interested in whether other people have heard depression referred to as the "black dog"? I wish I was more insightful and could work out how this relates to this song x
