With record-breaking cold temperatures and everyone staying inside, it can be hard to maintain an optimistic frame of mind while staying indoors and cozy. Seasonal depression isn’t an easy thing to cope with, but here are a few songs that preserve the winter vibes while fighting off some of the less optimal moods.

The song is all about perseverance in a relationship, and the endearing tone makes it an essential winter listen.
