Ode to Joy
I'm sure it's been posted before, but this never fails to move me to tears, and in depressing times like these it's a welcome reminder of the power of music to bring people together - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbJcQYVtZMo

Re: Ode to Joy
I remember it being played on the last night of the Proms, less than a week after the 9/11 attacks on the Twin Towers.
Very moving.

Yes of course we all like this music I expect but what is depressing about 'times like these'? It is almost midsummer and the weather not too bad. The countryside looks good. The small matter of politics has always been with us and is best ignored.

I suppose it does depend on where you are.
At the time you posted it had been raining here for most of the day, we had shut all of the windows to keep the cold out and were seriously discussing putting the heating back on

To be honest Slarti, if that is all you have to get depressed about, you are doing well.

He shut all the windows. Deprivation of fresh air may be self-inflicted but it depresses like nothing else.

To be honest, I'm with CK. These ARE depressing times. In all my years on this planet I cannot think of a time when I have felt more worried about the future of our nation and of the world in general, and I am old enough to remember the dark days of the Black Death in the 1340's
