My son suffered a massive stroke at 17. He was completely unresponsive for weeks. Doctors said he would never improve. I hadn't seen this, but I felt like music could help. I made a playlist for him and played it non-stop for days. He can walk and talk now, and has minimal cognitive deficits.
Music is powerful.
Wow, Praise the Lord!
Musicians: is there anything they can’t do?!
WOW!!! Good for you!!! So happy for you both!!!!
That’s wonderful 😊
Please pass this on .
I have mental health issues - severe chronic depression. Being depressed doesn’t mean I feel sad. Being depressed is feeling complete apathy. Devoid of feelings. Hollow. Something I realized. In 2007 I started working from home and I didn’t listen to music as much. No car ride to work. No stop at the gym on the way home. Anyhow, my depression got worse and worse and worse and to a point where I don’t want to leave my house. But what I’ve found, is that when I listen to music I like - I see an incredibly positive effect on my mood. I feel more of everything and my anxiety drops. It makes me laugh, cry, it fills all of me. Music is the spark of life. Since watching this I’m going to do an experiment - where I will listen to music for 20 min daily or maybe twice daily. Anyhow, I want to do it for a month and see what comes of it.
I love you
Your ideas are wonderful. Please post to us and let us know how the music helps you? Working from home is definitely a double edged sword! I truly hope you can find ways to feel better, and can totally relate.
💜🎶🙏🏾🆙
So very happy to read your message and to see how music has made such a beautiful difference to you!😊May God continue to bless you in your journey of life!😇
How did it go?
I can't stop crying. One of the most amazing documentaries Ive ever seen on the healing powers of music. My Dad is 8 years in to dementia. I made him a playlist of all his favourite songs, while he could still remember them. He loves listening and singing along with them, even though he barely knows who he is anymore. And he loves to play his harmonica. When I asked him how he remembered which notes to play, he simply pointed to his head, and said, Well its all up here - I remember.. Stunning
My mom had dementia and oh how she loved when we play her Johnny cash. Always brought her back to us.
Just a few days ago while I was working in a facility I played Johnny Cash for one of the ladies and her face lit right up and she actually reached for my hand. It was beautiful.
This needs WAY more views !!! My heart was touched in so many ways. Radios are a need in nursing homes !!
I send this to everyone l meet.
Almost 10yrs since they made the documentary, I hope things change it. Was nice rewatch.
"Ugly crying" here. Why doesn't this video have millions of views? Two things save me and keep me going in life: music and laughter.
Amazing, the power of music!…it makes sense for the senseless and makes time travelers of us all.
well said
Dude can barely talk, but then damn he can actually sing. This was incredible
Incredible!! I suffered from a horrible brain injury 10 years ago and I have memory issues because of it, but watching this it occurred to me that music I used to love will come on and I can remember every single word from those songs even after many years of not hearing it. I’m going to tap into this more for me personally. This needs to get shared!
Denise just made me burst out in tears. Bless that sweet sweet woman I hope she's happy with her music right now ❤❤
There is another TH-cam report on a Dutch Dementia Village. They made a secure village for sufferers. The sufferers found purpose and could go to different places in the village like a routine. Worth seeing.
I am a musician and playing is hands down the most therapeutic thing I know of.
To see how people benefit from the beauty that is music is simply amazing.
When everything else is gone, music will always and will always stay with us.
"Difficult to play impossible to grasp, Music answers every question never asked. A shared common memory of divinity still resonates from our past." td
Such a powerful documentary..thank you for making it available again. I worked in a nursing home for 5 years and saw this documentary before doing so and made it my mission to play music for the residents I took care of... I saw it in action. ❤
Wow!!! I am crying like a baby!!! Music is universal!! Music is WONDERFUL!!! And I am so grateful to Mr. Dan Cohen and cohorts for Blessing people through the art of music. As a musician myself, who has sung many places and performed for many people, I applaud you Mr. Cohen and I humbly thank you! Please do not stop what you have set out to accomplish!
Beautiful, magical video - how uplifting it is to see these wonderful people be able to recall and relive their treasured memories ❤
My darling 62 year old wife has secondary progressive MS, has an underlying heart condition and has survived 2 strokes, one in each hemisphere. She is severely paralysed all down left side and has dementia. She’s so bashed up - but the music in her headphones brings the woman I married back. For a while she’s in the world again and her eyes shine and so do mine but for different reasons.
I literally cried all through this video..
This is great! There are so many non-conventional ways to "awaken" someone is a nursing home. I did pet therapy with my cat and the reactions are amazing. Even those with TBI in the hospital, medical staff were amazed to see those patients move and react so strongly.
Omg I wish I were a millionaire I'd donate all my money to this...
I’m not fully done with the video but if there isn’t one, there should be a GoFundMe attached to this video. Or, another idea is - think about the number of older electronics we have and don’t use (phones, MP3 players, tablets, etc). I wonder if those could be donated to nursing homes so they can be repurposed for residents to use for music or even games they may like to play. My great grandmother always had the radio on, or a musical program on TV (yes I’ve seen every Lawrence Welk episode and Liberace special) and played cards - solitaire daily. She lived to be 98 with no memory loss. I think there is something with the music and keeping the mind active
I worked on a lock down Alzheimer’s / Dementia unit for 10 years. It’s like these people are in prison. They eat when they are told, they shower when they are told, they take their meds when told. It was horrible. When Covid hit these residents couldn’t see their families. Nothing could be brought in from the outside. Our church services were stopped,pet therapy was stopped.The birthday parties stopped. We lost 16 residents out of 28 in 2020. Residents were made to stay in their rooms. No activities were done. These residents just wasted away from grief. It was so very heartbreaking. The company I worked for was all about the all mighty $. Most of the time we worked short staffed. 1 person for 28 residents. 1 person to assist with in eating, bathroom and changing, showering. 1 person. Residents were being neglected but a blind eye was turned to them. In early 2021 I could no longer take it. I resigned my position but oh how I miss my residents.
Thats horrible
The residents must miss you for sure
I've worked on a lock down unit to, also in the Covid period. We lost 11 out of 16. 2 with covid and the others wasted away and died.
I quit, because I couldn't work in these places anymore. I have little hope that the situation in general will change.
I am glad we had much more staff, so we did the best we could. But I wont forget that a family watched their mother die behind the window.
Thank you for your heartwrenching, also relatable story.
Heartbreaking to read. Bless those people and bless you for caring for them 💜.
You should name the horrible place you worked at -- they should be held accountable!
This is so beautiful, I am crying. My entire family are musicians and to see how music touched people is so inspiring. My mother loved music, was hard of hearing and deaf when she died, alzheimer's disease. 😢 I am sharing this with all my musician friends. So beautiful. Thank you 😊 💓
This was amazing how they lit up to the sound of music . And started to remember things . These elderly people are still people . They shouldn’t have to be alone in a room with no music , no human interaction except their nurse . They need to do these kinds of things for these elderly people . ❤️
this was beautiful. I never knew this could happen, absolutely blew my mind much love for the people who made this possible.
I have always been touched by music - every range of emotion. I currently am interning at a memory care. The other day I sat with 3 lovely ladies and we sang Christmas carols. I will never forget it.
One of my biggest nightmares is ending up alone in a nursing home. People deserve better than to spend their last days in a lonely prison.
And how amazing that a Mother's children know all her favorite songs... because we saw the joy that music gave her which gave us joy, too. Music therapy took her back to her happiest times and sometimes the sad times, but it made her feel alive... she was Julie thru all the years. We Love You Mother 💕🙏🌹
10 minutes 15 seconds in…”Henry reacquired his identity for awhile through the power of music” 💓💓💓
Everyone should read "This is Your Brain On Music"
That Uganda boy is nothing short of a beautiful person❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Sandi- I totally agree with your assessment of this musician’s quality of character. Given your generous and positive assessment, I would ask that you introspectively reflect on your choice of the word “boy” to describe a full-grown man?
People need to understand the Power of Music!
My ukulele group plays for members of the local memory cafe and this stimulates people who are otherwise withdrawn. I loved the film and learnt a lot from it.
I was shown this when I first started working with there elderly . It made me cry! Henry has a beautiful voice!
Beautiful film I watch it at least once a year
How does this not have more like !??!!
I'm so grateful that you made this movie
I work in long term care, and we use Music and Memory. I wish we had enough I pods for my entire community! ❤️
It’s a miracle, I love music , I will have one list to bring to my family just in cases for me🙏🏻❤️thank you doctor Cohen❤❤❤
THAT IS SUPERNATURAL!!!
This video is so moving! The power of music is indeed a very strong force. I am amazed at how the music touched each patient individually. Oh, how I love the gentleman who dances in his wheelchair! 💖 Music has been a huge part of my life. I can honestly say that music saved my life, at a particularly horrible time in my life, a long time ago.
I am astounded that this has not been seen by more people.
Can you imagine what it might do for those in a coma
We let our great grandma stay with us at our house before she passed. We took care of her, and that was really sad. She was always working on stuff, setting up inflatables in her yard for the most minor of holidays, and you get the point. She had this hyperactive life, and then she was cut off to just laying down and talking. She just felt so bad that she couldn’t pay us back, other than saying “thank you”.
I watched this with my family a few years ago. It's been one of my all-time favorite documentaries ever since. I don't have scientific proof to back what I'm about to say, but I firmly believe that music has a spiritual impact on the soul. Music is healing, even if it's only momentary. ❤️✨
I worked on dementia area many years ago and it was the most beautiful thing I ever experienced, there were days that had me in tears but others in joy while seen them happy listening to music 🥹♥️ the part that saddened me more was how many were abandoned or hardly visit, they were my babies and really enjoyed cleaning their rooms and give them some attention 🙏 God bless them all ❤
min pappa var 92 när han dog. Han var vaken till sista minuten. vi undrade hur han kan vara så vaken kommer ihåg allt. Han sjöng hela tiden 😅Han hade sina barn o släktingar runt omkring sig. Snälla va inte ensamma hela tiden. umgås med varandra det gör mycket 🙏🏻
This is beautiful! We try and play music when we can, as CNA’s which I am.. I do see the difference And the Joy it gives so many! I even sing and dance at times to brighten there day!
This is a beautiful document. On how music can bring you back to a time of their youth memories of their lives. Music is the healing of the world!!!🎶 🎵
What an incredible documentary!Thank you so much 🙏🏾❤️
Proves we are more than a body, it reaches our soul.
The direct deliverence of the misic the hardware the speakers, headphones, or the whole room system.
I want to work for special needs adults and youngsters . Thank you Love you ...
Such a wonderful documentary I've ever seen!
Music really is magic & it is kind of cool to be a musician
This is an excellent video. Thank you very much. Love to you 💕 from Ontario Canada.
This doccie is truly ground-breaking and it does work -
Just... Damn.
This is truly Amazing!
So amazing. Music is everything.
I recommend this one everytime I can
I want to use this for my 87-year-old mother in memory care with AD. I am an RN Corporate Nurse Administrator at a large Senior Service with 2 Assisted Living facilities and memory care. I also have a nursing research background and almost lost my mind when I saw this story. How do I reach out to the researcher who has done this phenomenal work?
Wow this so powerful. Amazing. ❤
What a great documentary!
Beautiful!...
R there studies underway 2 c how long lasting the changes r due to music therapy?
The nonprofit site Music and Memory describes some research into this area, as well as efforts to bring more music into nursing homes.
Music is LIFE 🎶💖
Amazing Documentary,Loves it ,Higher ites
I can't stop crying
This is so beautiful. I can relate to how music an bring such lovely memories.
I can’t stop crying 😭😭
Beautiful......Everyone needs to see this video.
This documentary is so touching.
This is fantastic! Can't stop thinking about it since sharing it to my FB feed. Decided to come back & send it thru PM to some I know working in Canada's nursing homes. Well done!!
Bloody brilliant, sad and yet uplifting and inspiring. Shared far and wide. So glad I came across it.
Gosh I love this so much
Music unlocks n opens the windows to the soul, only for the wind of dementia to slam them closed again...
Music is magical.
Amazing , loved this ❤
One more proof our leaders are not human or so blinded by false narratives, hope lies outside the structures, since ''health'' is a bad word!
I wish that Garden estates would have music and memory programs In temple Texas.
This is so very Beautiful ❤️
I am so glad for this.
Question about the process: once you find one or two songs that the person recognizes and triggers memories, do you then ask them to name some of their favorite artists/music, so that you can build a playlist where they recognize all the songs?
Magnificent!
this movie is inspiring
Beauty will save the world.
musicories: music-evoked memories
we should all have a musicories playlist.
and include a short description of what memories each song evokes.
and include pictures if you have the of that memory.
21:27 “She wants to see how it looks like, the iPod,” then he walks past her holding it and says “It’s small”, and continues on his journey, as she mumbles “you’re kidding”.👏🏼👏🏼🤣🤣🤣🤣
Like Nach would say... "The language of the Gods...is Music!!"
Keep fighting the fight to help others with music, especially with a savage disease that ends by capturing memories by voicing/ings, rhythm and beat, a fading driver surrounded by a cab in need of an amp and microphone before being able to push any sound.
16:05 bless her 💜
Apple couldn’t donate?
I seen transformation of Dementia and Alzheimers they began to dance and sing and they were sitting and drueling...and saw them come alive 😊❤
These caregivers are such a tangible blessing in our world. If we pay them what they are worth they would receive $8,000 a month--to start.
At a home where everyone pays an average of $6,500, this is a realistic expectation. Greedy profiteering is the only thing preventing it. Lets pass laws to makw this happen.
Where can we donate???
Please help. I Need to provide my mother with music therapy, and having trouble finding the right device that is light weight and easy to use. Suggestions anyone?
These iPods will help elderly people live longer in their life.
I'm really mad they kept using the name iPod. This feels like intentional product placement thinking you NEED specifically an ipod in order to help someone. Any music player will do, any MP3 player, apple has become so money hungry over time and it isn't fair for people like these, where music can reignite their spark.
can't they get a small speaker or something, if they want to cut costs
Most nursing homes have shared rooms, open doors, and community rooms where a speaker would disturb others. That’s why the focus is on headphones for daily use.
When we visited my grandmother at her nursing home, though, we were able to get a small private room so we could all listen and sing together. It really calmed my grandmother and briefly restored some of her cognitive function.
How can I help?
I worked in memory care facilities and nursing homes as I was doing my clinicals for nursing and I absolutely loved working with the elderly. The amazing lives they lived and stories they can tell are so inspiring and interesting it is really sad that our society throws these people away they have so much to teach us
Lmao “you’re not Spanish” got me so good
