I think this is one of the most uplifting songs that I know of, and it's helped me out of depression a few times before now. The message in the lyrics is a simple one, and yet it is so very true. For all the value I place on my solitude, the truth is that I feel stronger and smarter when I am in the company of my friends. I am lucky in that I share a house with two of them, and I work in a supermarket with several others. I don't honestly know what I would do without my friends, so this ia a big thank you to those I call friend, there aren't that many of you, but I value every last one of you, both here in my town, and those who are spread across the face of our planet, in places as far afield as the United States and New Zealand. I hope you like the song.
With A Little Help From My Friends by Wet Wet Wet
What would you think if I sang out of tune
Would you stand up and walk out on me
Lend me your ears and I’ll sing you a song
And I’ll try not to sing out of key
Oh, I’ll get by with a little help from my friends
Oh, I’ll get high with a little help from my friends
Oh, I’ll get by with a little help from my friends, my friends
What do you do when our love is away
Does it worry you to be alone
And how does it feel by the end of the day
Are you sad because you’re on your own
Oh, I’ll get by with a little help from my friends
Oh, I’ll get high with a little help from my friends
Oh I’ll get by with a little help from my friends
Do you need any body
I need somebody to love
Could it be anybody
I need somebody to love, to love, to love
Would you believe in this love at first sight
Yes I’m certain that it happens all the time
What do you see when you turn out the light
I can’t tell you but I know that it’s mine
Oh, I’ll get by with a little help from my friends
Oh, I’ll get high with a little help from my friends
Oh I’ll get by with a little help from my friends
Do you need any body
I need somebody to love
Could it be anybody
I need somebody to love
Oh, I’ll get by with a little help from my friends
Oh, I’ll get high with a little help from my friends
Oh, I’ll get high with a little help from my friends
Oh, I’ll get by with a little help from my friends
With a little help from my friends, my friends, my friends
Repeat to fade...

Yes I know they only did a cover version of the song. They did it with Billy Bragg, who if I'm not mistaken is the person who originally sung it.
