    when my grandfather asked me what my iPod was and I showed him. he broke down in years. he said he had not heard music that clearly in years. I remember showing him on TH-cam. he asked me to look up the twelfth of never by Johnny Mathis. telling me how it was one of his and my grandmother's songs. he cried when he heard it and that was when my father got him his own. simple nano. only needed a couple buttons. he was about 92 at the time. it was the most amazing thing I had ever witnessed in my life.

      I agree. It's crazy the way that music affects our lives it affects every area of our life physical mental spiritual it is in my opinion, life if we didn't have music I think this world would be.. I don't know I don't think we could survive without music to be honest with you I think that there would come a time and away and a place for music to be born let's say for whatever reason it was erased from existence for whatever reason. It would be born again into this world if this world was meant for life, which it is. This is absolutely a very inspiring story a very beautiful story of people that we think are just completely gone but there's still somebody in there! Somebody alive, they just need something to bring that out of them and I strongly believe in music to be that life force for many of us it is definitely and has been for me and has saved my life on countless occasions before my children were born.

    My Father had Alzheimer's and kind of collapsed into himself, he'd sit and just stare with dead eyes. He had a collection of music he loved and I'd pull out some of it and play it for him. Those dead eyes lit up and a big smile would spread across his face and the feet would start tapping while it played. It does work, folks. He passed 19 years ago yesterday, 3/21/99, I still play that stuff now and remember. Miss you, Dad.

      I strongly dislike the way this video is presented, as if they did something magical to restore a part of his personality that was lost. People react positively to to the type of music they like. To anyone who has had an older family member to care for, this is "by the book" what you do to keep them happy and entertained. This guy was probably just really bored from sitting in a chair and doing absolutely nothing because his family was too busy with their own lives.

      That is so true more than most will ever know. I hate to say it but bad things happen to good people. That is my experience...my personal experience. I’ve done everything the right way, worked hard, spent about 12 years at the university in engineering, been good to people, kind to everyone I meet, taken care of my family, given to others, and all I get is problems. Never ending problems. Poisoned by mold at my employer who happens to be the US Government, defense related, and it was swept under the rug and I’ve spent tens of thousands on medical care for what they did to me (they knew I was getting sick in the building i worked in), and they treat me like dirt, and constantly harass me because I cannot work at the level I did before I got sick. I still work, but I cannot multitask. If I went through the list of unfortunate things that have happened to me in just the past year you’d think I was making it up. So yeah, I’ve never harmed anyone and I’ve always made my own way, and all I get is, frankly, shit. Suffering and anguish. The worst part is when you’re fairly young and sick and nobody believes or understands it. This happened to me at age 35 about 13 years ago. It’s been misery ever since with multiple surgeries and constant pain. I still work. I have a family to take care of. The world is absolutely cruel. I know so many evil people who never have a problem, never a pain, and never face punishment for the evil doing and law breaking. They just skate through life.

      J. Patterson hey man, I know I don't know your personal life like that but I know that the most wonderful things are known and experienced by good people. I know that because of your hard work, someone else who looks up to you or looks to you for guidance will hold everything you've ever done for them and for the sake of goodness in the deepest of their hearts and your legacy will live on forever through their lives and the integrity you exemplified. People who live by evil and wrongdoings never truly grasp the depths of love and gratitude, that's why they hurt other people and cause other people problems because they don't understand that level of integrity and trust and security. The only people who would live up to the legacy of evil and wrongdoing are people who will throw their soul away for their ego. Egos die with us, but your goodness will stretch for ages through the hearts of your children and their children, too. Keep your head up :)

      Life is like a video game giving you challenges to overcome,maybe your challenge is that you need to stop being so nice,and good to people. Plus you need to sue your employer,sounds like a nice lawsuit if you get a lawyer. Sometimes bad things happen because we don't make the move our intuition told us we should have made. Good luck with everything though.

    My nan died about two years ago after a stroke, and I remember walking into her hospital room that day and seeing her screaming for her husband (who'd died almost twenty years earlier). She was confused and terrified and it was absolutely heartbreaking, but I started playing her favourite music on my phone ("Hello Dolly" by Louis Armstrong), and almost immediately she stopped screaming, calmed down and began to dance and sing along to the music. It's honestly incredible what music can do to someone's mind and I'm forever thankful that in that moment, we were able to talk to her quietly because it brought back so much of what she'd lost.

      It was stunning to, not only see his animated reaction to the music that tapped into his youth....but the prolonged affect it had after the music was gone....of how it made him so coherent and responsive and alive. I suspect that at one point, when we are old....that there is a time in our youthfulness, that still lingers in our minds....and if music is the key to unlock a bit of that youthfulness.....I hope more seniors homes use this beautiful therapy.

    It is crazy how music works with the mind. Elderly individuals with dementia and Alzheimer's and little kids that barely know their names can remember and repeat song lyrics with ease. I think music therapy is something that could prove quite beneficial for the elderly with mental disorders and is worthy of greater investigation and attention.

    • @marythr2617
      @marythr2617 8 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      Here my grain of salt 😅. If I get to live long enough that taking care of myself becomes challenging, I will take myself to one of those places right away, without arguing with my relatives or feeling angry about it because by then I would have lived a long life and enjoyed each phase of it, I believe I will want my kids and relatives to live their lives fully too without having to worry about me, if they want to visit cool, if they do not is cool too. My kids will not owe me anything, because when one chooses to be a parent one does everything without expecting anything back, it is your own parenting life experience being "realized" thanks to those kids. So, I am saving for my retirement so I do not become a burden to nobody, I want my relatives to remember me in a positive way (hopefully) :).

You will be at peace knowing you have lived a long and good life. I look at it in this way after my dear old grandad once told me, "If i died right now it wouldn't bother me too much as i've lived a long life and i've lived a good life and have had my time". I miss my grandad...i let him down to say the very fucking least.

    I used to sing classics and hymns at nursing homes with my mom. You can't know how much it means to some of these elderly to hear the music they grew up with. I remember singing at an Alzheimer's ward, and seeing some of those people start to sing along from what memory they had left was amazing.

  • @mizzymsp
    @mizzymsp 7 ปีที่แล้ว +394

    most of these elderly people have given up and found that most people in the nursing home aren't anyone they could talk to (illness, etc)
    this is coming from my grandma's perspective, she is 98 and she cooperates perfectly and doesn't have any mental problems (apart from like the stuff we have rn tbh, like depression) and she tells me it's hard to talk to people, it's lonely. when she loses someone, it must be heartbreaking there because once you find someone in a place like that, you become attached. only you two understand each other.
    i think this man is finally alive again with a will, he has finally found his favourite thing in life, and something which he can enjoy and relate to. music is great because it doesn't need to be with someone else, you can have fun on your own

    As someone who works with people with dementia, music is magic. I’ve seen some of my residents who never speak a word or who are always serious, light up and start singing when they hear a familiar song. It brings back memories of them being with their kids or dancing with their spouse or a place they’ve visited. Music has so much power. It’s a very emotional moment for me when I play music for my residents and they light up like this. ❤

    We watched this clip in Adolescent and Adult development. My professor is very adamant on teaching us about the development of older adults, and how they adapt to life once they grow old. He showed us this in correlation with the practice of Music Therapy in older adults, specifically those with demetia (neuro-cognitive disorders), and how it can drastically change their cognitive processes for the better. It's such a wonderful thing

    This is so wonderful! My mother had Lewy Body Dementia. She wouldn't be able to hold much of a conversation but could sing songs from her childhood. Music is very powerful and when you combine it with visuals of things they like it can open them right up.
