This song is the only song I have heard that perfectly describes, with a few exceptions, what it is like to be a loved one of someone suffering from depression. As the young daughter of a father with depression, I can only observe his situation and pray. It is a tiring, heartbreaking situation. All I want to do when he enters a depressed state is to be put "back in the bottle where the sea meets the sun," back to a time early in my childhood when he didn't have depression and things were happy, innocent, and simple. Where "the bones and their rattle" did not phase my father, did not send him into crisis mode.
