This video is a poignant example of how music can transform someone’s life. Social worker Dan Cohen creates personalized iPod playlists for the residents of a nursing home in an attempt to bring some joy to them. The reaction of an elderly man, Henry, was filmed as a part of the documentary, Alive Inside. After just a few minutes of listening to his favorite songs, Henry is restored in some ways to the fun loving man he once was. Not only is this heart-touching, it’s also fascinating to consider that memories can literally be pulled out of dormancy when a song is played from the persons past. He literally regains his sense of self. It’s also as if some of the memories are contained within the information of the sound waves themselves. youtube/watch?v=fyZQf0p73QM#t=20
