Because others may be able to relate the song to the feeling of depression.

GrapevineFires; if your mother died it wouldn't mean anything to me. I wouldn't be depressed however the situation would effect you in a different way.

If I hear a particular piece of music and it evokes images of a time, a place and event which is synonymous to me with the feeling of depression, then yes obviously I will feel that emotion.

People react to things in different ways. D'uh.
