Another one that really got me through in bad times is this one.

(you will have to highlight then right click with your mouse and select "go to" (2nd option) then left click or copy and paste link into the browser.) (Advice for us "oldies" on here!!!)

It's Kate Bush and Peter Gabriel. "Don't give up".

Rest your head

You worry too much

It's going to be alright

When times get rough

You can fall back on us

Don't give up

Please don't give up

Don't give up

Cos you have friends

Don't give up

you're not beaten yet

don't give up

I know you can make it good

Yes I think it would be great idea to keep gardengnomes thread going and people add their favourites or songs they remember in troubled times pulled them through a little. :)

Gardengnome you obviously set me out thinking! Just thought of another!

Its James Taylor " You've got a friend"

Here's the link youtube.com/watch?v=K_MdSu0...

When you're down and troubled

and you need a helping hand

and nothing, ooh, nothing is going right.

Close your eyes and think of me

and soon I will be there

to brighten up even your darkest nights.

You just call out my name,

and you know wherever I am

I'll come running, oh yeah baby

to see you again.

Winter, spring, summer or fall,

all you have to do is call

and I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah

You've got a friend.

Hey, ain't it good to know that you've got a friend?

People can be so cold.

They'll hurt you and desert you.

Well they'll take your soul if you let them.

Oh yeah, but don't you let them.

Continuing the theme, here's a song for how I feel about my friends on "Action on Depression". Its "We are family". Sister Sledge. Here's the link;

youtube.com/watch?v=mthfurN...

and here's the (slightly edited) lyrics.....

We are family

Got my sisters and brothers with me

We are family

Got my sisters and brothers with me

Get up ev'rybody and sing

Ev'ryone can see we're together

As we walk on by

(FLY!) and we fly just like birds of a feather

I won't tell no lie

(ALL!) all of the people around us they say

Can they be that close

Just let me state for the record

We're giving love in a family dose

Choruse(X 2)

Living life is fun and we've just begun

To get our share of the world's delights

(HIGH!) high hopes we have for the future

And our goal's in sight

(WE!) NO WE DON'T GET DEPRESSED

HERE'S WHAT'S WE CALL OUR GOLDEN RULE

HAVE FAITH IN YOU AND THE THINGS YOU DO

YOU WON'T GO WRONG.

This is our family Jewel
