I'll be home

For Christmas

you can plan

On me

with plenty of snow

Mistletoe,

Presents wrapped 'round

The tree

ow

Christmas eve will tell me

Where the love light beams

Henry?

Yeah?

What was the favorite part of

Your life?

What was your favorite part

Of your life?

My life?

Well, part of my life

Was riding a bicycle,

Grocery boy...

what did you like about

Riding a bicycle?

That's where I made my money.

So, in some sense,

Henry has re-Acquired his

Identity for a while through the

Power of music.

What does music

Do to you?

It gives me the feeling of

Love, romance.

Figure right now, the world

Needs to come into music,

Singing.

You got beautiful music here,

Beautiful, oh, lovely.

And I feel a band of love,

Of dreams.

The lord came to me, made me

Holy.

I'm a holy man, so he gave

Me these sounds.

Let's say I meet you...

let me see...

Rosalie, won't you love me

Rosalie wont you be sweet

And kind

What do you

Think happened with Henry?

I mean, what did we just see

Happening with Henry?

We connected with Henry.

We connected with Henry's self.

You know, when you're in

A nursing home or when you

Have Alzheimer's disease, you're

Really struggling with your own

Thoughts and confusion...

Dan was excited.

I was excited.

What if all these people we'd

Seen could be awakened like

Henry?

All a sudden,

Everything falls into

Place and you're right

There with the music, you

Understand it.

It's pleasurable.

You're not thinking about

Anything else, you're not

Struggling.

Oh, how lovely!

This is no small problem.

There are five million people

In America with dementia.

10 million people spend a large

Part of their life caring for

Them.

There are maybe a million

People in nursing homes

Losing their

Connection to life.

Let me give you a kiss.

C'mon, sweetheart!

Mmm.

Dad!

Hello.

Hello!

Johnny?

Hey, Johnny!

How are you?

I mean, isn't this desire...

A desire to awaken another

Person, to what they are,

To what they could be...

A deep part of being human?

How often does anybody have

A chance to affect the lives of

A million or more people?

I'm hoping people are ready to

Come along on this journey...

here you go..

You hold this.

There you go.

We all know music is magic.

I feel like I'm

One with the world.

And for those with dementia,

It can be a back door into

The mind.

The parts of the brain

Which are involved in

Remembering music and

Responding to music are

Not affected too much in

Alzheimer's disease or other

Dementias...

part of the reason why

Musical memories are

So strong has

Something to do with the way

Music enters our brain in the

First place.

Music has more ability to
