(official) Alive Inside Film of Music and Memory Project - Henry's Story 

This is why I am always surprised that there isn't more music in places of healing: hospitals, long term care facilities and the like. This story is powerful. I came here because one program that is caring for my sister is implementing this program. They need iPods and such. How about simply piping in music over an intercom? Classical music. Jazz music. Popular music. Music is also a shared phenomena. I wonder at the different advantages of listening to your own PLAYLISt versus the shared listening. BRAVO to this and other programs that refuse to reduce people to their circumstances.

Music and singing are stored in long-term memory and are never lost, because our soul, our being, is the sound!

Magnificent documentary. I cried from beginning to end thinking of my mom and how we sang and listened to music from my birth to her death. Tomorrow is my birthday and it will be one year since she died. We played music to her till her final day. I watched this movie and bought the video as a gift to myself in her memory.

I'm not that old, but I totally understand this. I have days where I can't find my reading glasses anywhere only to find them on the top of my head. I have days where I can't remember the name of that thing - you know, that thing that you put in a car and it turns it on. But I can remember the band name and all the lyrics to 99.9% of the music we listened to from the late sixties and early seventies without missing a beat. Mind you, we sure did have kick-ass music back in the day! Thank you so much for uploading this. It's the sound of hope. If (or when) this happens to me, I hope to be 'quickened' or 'awakened' by Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven, The Best of the Who, and all the other totally awesome music we had in the late 60s and 70s. Maybe it won't be so dismal after all.

so wonderful:) maybe we should ask our loved ones what kind of music they like, and make a list now along with ours and add to medical records for future use, watching Henry come alive to music was so beautiful :)

I went to a viewing of Alive Inside movie and follow up presentation today. It made me cry, but it also made me want to work with all my Alzheimer's clients to get their own personal playlist to enjoy.

We were so inspired and moved by each and every story. Every time the music reignited someone's inner flame. How beautiful.

This happened to my Aunt. Beautiful

Beautiful trailer! I love seeing elders light up when music is being played.

Wonderful!!! Very exciting how good music lifts the soul! Praise God.

lol Who could dislike this video? A man is reanimated, restored and connected to himself again.....after living in a state of dark mental confinement! Be happy, if not for him, then for yourself because this could be you some day. Mozart figured it out a long time ago...music not only heals the mind, but has the power to rekindle the spirit!

Needless to say, music is the spirit of the soul~

A beautiful powerful film.... and as a musician it encouraged me to keep going and reminded what im there for!

my mom has Lewy Body Dementia & I'm going to try this with her. thank you for posting!

❤❤❤❤😢😢😢 i remember my father now my mom

This is an awesome movie I urge everyone to watch!!

This is truly beautiful!!

This gave me such tears of joy! Now to find those Ipods! I have one I'm not using so that is a start.

Wow, I'm so taken a back by this! I loved to see this!

Music is healing. There is healing through music.

Beautiful! Fabulous work. You touched my Soul! Thank you for your meaningful Work!

LOVED the full film Alive Inside--it can easily change your life & make U a life-changer-anywhere in the world, any age, hi-tech, lo-tech or no-tech. Reminds us how quickly we can tap brains, hearts, souls & healing processes just by sharing a tune & asking: What's your favorite song?

Absolutely love this very powerful and inspiring

Maginífico! Sou enfermeiro, e não encontro outra definição para um trabalho tão simples porém de complexas mudanças. Sinto me completamente transformado por ter assistido ao documentário e espero passar a diante o que aprendi.

Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.

Absolutely love this. ! 💗 😍 🤗

What a brilliant film...

Muito bom,sem palavras, muito amor

That was absolutely amazing!

So important and incredibly beautiful

Thank you Lee Roy Green!

Just incredible.

This is a great video, although I don't know who produced it, but coming in with the loud music at the end, drowning out what the speaker is saying is just ridiculous.

This is MAGIC. OMG!

King David played the harp for King Saul when he was in one of his episodes. Music does soothe the savage mind.

Music is really the only religion, as said Hendrix.

4:36 the old man had a good voice!

This is amazing. Thanks for sharing!

My dad is headed his way. I will have to try the Ipod. Can't wait to see his reaction. THANK YOU. :o)

Wow how amazing!

Super!! What music can do !!

Great DOcumentary !

This is cool so beautiful

Awesome!

Can I ask what is the title of the piano theme at the beginning of the clip? I know it's from a movie, but I can't remember the name! Maybe something from Alexandre Desplat?

God work is everywhere….. Love ❤️ GBHim 🙏

Someone pls, what is the Song At the end called?

Kol HaKavode Dan!

apple needs to kick down some pods.

Since when can my eyes sweat?

what song is playing at 6:14?

I was so moved by this film. It is a triumph of the human spirit! Music is something that can make a difference in all our lives...

This documentary is incredible.

Thank you Panama! Henry is a real sweetheart! It just comes right through the footage!

Music and memories provides an important tool for caregiver training.

AMAZING!!! What's up with Apple???? We look for cures for aids and cancer and everyone jumps on the band wagon…HELLOOOOO!!!!!!!!! It could be you one day! Please help.

Music Therapy is powerful! I volunteer in Middleburg, Va. @ 'A PLACE TO BE.' We use music, dance and singing to help people of all ages with brain trauma of many kinds as well as, MS, strokes, Tourettes Syndrome, Autism, and more! Check it out!

My husband had Alzheimers, and I find this idea of helping people with dementia become alive. It makes me cry and smile.

Why isn't this being done in all memory care centers!?

Thx you Ceazs hernandez for all the music

What a Great Project to work on !!!!

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.

Beautiful thing.

Kanopy online streaming has the entire documentary (78 minutes). Contact your local library to see if you can access it for free with your library card. Now to record some Elvis for my Grandma:)

This should be done for all the elders by the government. But no, because it doesn't bring money. It brings only life and joy.

Beautiful!

The brain remembers alot of things but the top moments are that loving feelings like a sweet candy one taste of it the brain will go back to high school love and alot more

Henry sounds good.

MUSIC IS A BETTER WAY BY EXPRESSION OF EVERYDAY LIVING........

I fell in love with Henry’s voice

Sasaj Llalka

This is the most beautiful thing EVER!!!!!! His eyes wide open are just wonderful! Thank you!
