For us it's the Stones, for other folks it may be somebody else. But music we love is an absolute requirement for continued sanity and contentment in my book.
After a 6 year battle with depression I find that Stones music and in particular watching Keith come on stage to open a show with that lovely grin of a smile always lifts me.
jagger50, a friend of mine who suffers from depression was advised to (and does) listen to Sister Hazel - in particular "Change Your Mind", a great song and great advice for us all.
Elmo Lewis, hey, that,s my surname. Something good did come from my depression. As I write lyrics it inspired me to write about depression. And it was published. Something I learnt when writing is write what you feel. But typically as a sufferer even though 100,s of people have bought my poem, I still think it,s a bit naff. I just won,t accept it,s good enough. Even though I,m wrong, I still won,t. Just listening to Wild Horses, acoustic. That helps. Cheers.
Some years ago helped an elderly Polish guy back on his feet after he'd fell in a bar and cut his forehead. Even now when he see me he just showers me with drinks...Ah Rocky you is me friend...You save me...We laugh!!!...Aint life good...

Anytime Brown Sugar or Honkey Tonk Women comes on my oldies station its such a exciting surprise. Watching their concert dvds is a sure fire pick-me-up too.
