I don't know how I came across this but my grandma didn't even know who I was. I played music she knew and she too could take and came alive from just sitting saying nothing it was amazing. She too knew the words and held the tune. Music is amazing.
From Aus. ...He's Got Rhythm... He's Got Rhythm. Once he heard the Music that was the Key. My Wife of 64 years passed away 6 months ago from Dementia/ Alzheimers near the end she could not express in words what she was trying to say and rightly got so frustrated....BUT play some Music/Songs from WW2 U.K. and she was ALIVE singing along
Thank you for the love..this is what connects us all and gives rise to hope for humanity. PS emergent property's give rise to abstract analysts and the way to,,,,,,.... let it flow
I use music to keep my mom cheerful and motivated when we have to do things she doesn't like, like bathing. I'll play her favorite band, The Beatles, in the background while I help her bathe. It's surprising how most things are hard for her to remember and words seems to be difficult after her second stroke (ephagia) but the moment a Beatles song comes on, she's singing all the words perfectly! Music is such a powerful thing for everyone in every situation.
Henry was a baby of his yesterday. We were babies too. How hurting it is to see babies of yesterday are old now. Anyway, life is wonderful and just keep going till the end.
I have watched this video at least 5 times over the months and am deeply moved each time. I believe in the magic of music to touch the mind and soothe the soul. I love watching Henry, over and over.
Does anyone remember 2020? When the elderly with dementia were deprived of contact with their loved ones? Does anyone know how many do-no-resuscitate orders are signed by doctors to people just because they’re a burden for the health and care services? Does anyone care that the owners of privately run care homes don’t hire staff because they must protect their profits? This fucking world!
I remember seeing this video for the first time as an early teen . It made me so happy ❤️ It was another reason I’ve always wanted to work with elderly people & Now I do 🥰🤞🏾 Absolutely love my job !
Their is truth in this, When I was 14,i had a buddy, same age, but he was raised by his elderly grandmother. She taught him dozens of late victorian music hall songs. We used to slip into our local pub, where a dozen elderly ladies, with hairnets, and long coats, would sip on half pints of beer, allmost in silence. My buddy would shout name any song and I'll sing it. They would name a real old song and he would stand there and sing it for them. Those old ladies would come alive, laughing, singing along, clapping. We allways got free candy from them.
