Cover art for Elegy lyrics by Howard Jones

I love this song. It's about the battle with depression. Not talking your rainy day run of the mill depression but serious, down in a hole, can't see out of, depression, and how we should deal with it. There's almost a "pull yourself, literally, out of the hole and realize that whatever it is that's bothering you, you can overcome. Whenever you start letting the soundtrack of negativity continue digging its grooves into your brain, stop! Tell yourself something else. These 2 lines really say it all:

We must live to fight the negative Not court the self in defeat
