00:43:22The sensory record, the movie that played only in John's mind called Memory, is gone.
00:43:32His love, his dreams, gone.
00:43:41Who are we without our memory?
00:43:52Oh, Johnny, oh, how perfect.
00:44:22There was no way we could have known there was this much life inside of John.
00:44:39For Johnny, getting his music and a little focused attention
00:45:03was all it took to awaken feelings he hadn't felt in years.
00:45:10I love to do it.
00:45:15When did you first sing?
00:45:18When you were young, did you sing?
00:45:20I don't know.
00:45:22I'm just a small guy.
00:45:25Yeah?
00:45:27I'm crying.
00:45:30Why? You sad?
00:45:31I don't know.
00:45:35I love everybody around here.
00:45:38My gang, just my gang.
00:45:41This is your gang?
00:45:42Yeah.
00:45:43Does it make you happy to sing for us?
00:45:46Yeah.
00:45:49Half the people in nursing homes get no visitors,
00:45:52so it's not like family can do it.
00:45:54The nursing homes don't really have a ready budget for this.
00:45:56The government does not reimburse for music and iPods,
00:46:02and so it really needs to come from somewhere.
00:46:06So my ultimate goal is to make this a standard of care in all 16,000 nursing homes in the country.
00:46:13That's the goal.
00:46:14Depends on the nursing home.
00:46:15Depends on how proactive the volunteer department is.
00:46:20Is this something you'd want to explore for your own facilities?
00:46:23Well, I have several concerns.
00:46:27That you give it to two people and ten people are going to want it,
00:46:30and I'm not going to be able to give it to them.
00:46:32Frankly, how it's administered.
00:46:33This is a very big place, and we have 600 residents here.
00:46:37Of course, it's also a significant factor that we have to consider in every program.
00:46:42So tell me, how can I help you today?
00:46:48I'm looking for a donation.
00:46:51Just one second here.
00:46:53The research shows it, our experience shows it.
00:46:55There is no doubt that mainstreaming the use of personalized music using iPods.
00:47:02I spoke to the senior vice president, and they have a no corporate philanthropy policy.
00:47:14There are 16,000 nursing homes in the United States,
00:47:16and the challenge is getting it out there, and we can really use your help.
00:47:23Sandra Day O'Connor, talk to him about your project?
00:47:26No, about Alzheimer's.
00:47:28Support of Alzheimer's Association.
00:47:30Support for Alzheimer's.
00:47:32She talked to the man himself.
00:47:35Yeah.
00:47:36And he said no.
00:47:37Yeah.
00:47:38So what luck am I going to have?
00:47:53How's the work going?
00:47:55It's a struggle.
00:47:57Yeah, no kidding.
00:47:58I have to tell you, I'm one of the few people who actually really knows how you feel about
00:48:05this, because a couple of decades ago, I got really charged up by this idea that we could
00:48:13bring plants and animals and children into the lives of elders.
00:48:17I had the same kind of experiences that you described, where I could see people come alive.
00:48:27We had this dream that we'd just go door to door.
00:48:30But we couldn't penetrate sort of the fog of the nursing home.
00:48:38What you're doing is outside of conventional practice.
00:48:43And you have to, and if you're going to be successful going forward, you have to understand how big
00:48:48a barrier that is.
00:48:57We went looking for answers.
00:49:01It turns out we are not alone.
00:49:03There are lots of people who believe there's something fundamentally wrong with the American
00:49:09nursing home.
00:49:11I think we are part of a movement that is much, much bigger.
00:49:15I want to work on culture change.
00:49:17I want to support culture change as a national priority.
00:49:20We value independence and have the hardest time, I believe, of any country with the concept
00:49:41of dependence.
00:49:43And so, whereas other folks have integrated aging, we had a unique interest in setting
00:49:50and saying, over there, I don't want to see it, I don't want to know about it.
00:49:55Why are we changing now?
00:49:56Why are we changing now?
00:49:58Because it's not working.
00:50:01Because it's dehumanizing.
00:50:03And I think, quite frankly, I think baby boomers are saying, this is not acceptable.
00:50:08This is not how I want to be treated when I get older.
00:50:13This was inspiring.
00:50:14But are we really interested in changing the way America ages?
00:50:20You might not realize it, but the United States of America has only 6,000 geriatricians
00:50:27in a nation of 300 million people.
00:50:30Even worse, that number's not going up.
00:50:37It's going down.
00:50:40This is unfortunate timing.
00:50:44Because the challenges we're going to have to face are growing.
00:50:47We're facing an epidemic of neurologic diseases on a global scale.
00:50:55A cheery thought.
00:50:57On this map, every country that's colored blue has more than 20% of its population over
00:51:02the age of 65.
00:51:04This is the world we live in.
00:51:06And this is the world your children will live in.
00:51:09For 12,000 years, the distribution of ages in the human population has looked like a pyramid
00:51:14with the oldest on top.
00:51:17It's already flattening out.
00:51:20By 2050, it's going to be a column and will start to invert.
00:51:27And this is why that's not entirely a good thing.
00:51:31Because over the age of 65, your risk of getting Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease will increase
00:51:36exponentially.
00:51:37There are 5 million Alzheimer's patients in the United States.
00:51:44In the next 10 years, that number will come close to doubling.
00:51:49We do not have the facilities.
00:51:51We do not have the resources, financial or otherwise, to cope with that number of people
00:51:56suffering from dementia.
00:51:59We have to find a way to help them age in place in a healthy manner.
00:52:04What do you call that?
00:52:11Um, it's, uh, for, uh, s-
00:52:15Knife?
00:52:17Knife.
00:52:18No.
00:52:19Fork?
00:52:20Or spoon?
00:52:24She says, we just don't understand.
00:52:28And I think that's probably true.
00:52:29You end up being dependent on someone else for everything that you do.
00:52:36You can no longer write your name.
00:52:38You struggle reading.
00:52:40You lose small motor control.
00:52:43You can't even remember how to get in and out of your apartment or the elevator.
00:52:47So do you remember, where is the elevator?
00:52:51Maybe it's here?
00:52:52Yeah.
00:52:52It could be.
00:52:53Yes.
00:52:54Okay.
00:52:54Yes, I think so.
00:52:55Let's press.
00:52:56Okay.
00:52:58We go down or up?
00:52:59We have to go down.
00:53:00Okay.
00:53:01So do you want to press for me?
00:53:03Oh, yes.
00:53:03Here.
00:53:04This one?
00:53:05Down.
00:53:05I'm not sure.
00:53:06That's up?
00:53:07Is that, so that's down.
00:53:08This is down, yes.
00:53:09Okay.
00:53:10Oh, did I do that badly?
00:53:13I don't think so.
00:53:13Do you see the light?
00:53:15Yeah, I can see the light.
00:53:16Okay.
00:53:36Ooh.
00:53:40Oh, look, look, look, look.
00:53:42Oh, beautiful.
00:53:44Look at that.
00:53:45Isn't that lovely?
00:53:47Oh, gotcha.
00:53:48I gotcha.
00:53:49I gotcha.
00:53:50Didn't I?
00:53:51Huh?
00:53:52For Mary Lou, loving her grandson is easy.
00:53:57This is going to the what?
00:54:01Where are you going to go?
00:54:04It's just everything else that is hard.
00:54:07It's looking really bad.
00:54:08It's looking really bad.
00:54:16But surprisingly, even deep inside Alzheimer's, her capacity for love and affection remains strong.
00:54:26I have lots of people to talk to me and do all that kind of thing.
00:54:38So, yeah.
00:54:40Are you sad because other people don't have that much?
00:54:43Yes, of course, because how could I do things if I didn't have people with me?
00:54:52So, that's the...
00:54:56This is a hard journey for you, huh?
00:54:59Yeah.
00:55:01Well, my husband, you know, he's wonderful.
00:55:05Would you like to hear some music?
00:55:13Would you like to listen to some music?
00:55:15Sure.
00:55:16Why not?
00:55:16What do you have, Dan?
00:55:18Here you go.
00:55:19I don't know how to do this.
00:55:21Straight over your ears.
00:55:22In your head.
00:55:22Perfect.
00:55:23See a little button in the middle?
00:55:26That's that?
00:55:26Yeah, right in the middle.
00:55:28Click it once.
00:55:29There you go.
00:55:29I can go.
00:55:55You're not there.
00:55:57Go with me.
00:55:59Come on, guys.
00:56:17We always take my car because it's never been beat and we've never missed yet.
00:56:31I need more.
00:56:32I need more.
00:56:33Mm-hmm.
00:56:35Do you want to stop the music?
00:56:38Oh, thank you so much.
00:56:40Okay.
00:56:41It was...
00:56:42I'm so glad to get it.
00:56:45Thank you.
00:56:46And I love it.
00:56:48You were very nice to me.
00:56:50Okay.
00:56:50So, there's tears of joy.
00:56:52Yeah.
00:56:52Okay.
00:56:53Yeah.
00:56:53Just wanted to make sure.
00:56:54Oh, yeah.
00:56:56That's the best thing I've ever had, this thing.
00:57:02I don't know how to say it.
00:57:04It's just...
00:57:07It can't get away from me if I'm in this place.
00:57:13I thought you were going to grow wings.
00:57:15I was trying.
00:57:16I...
00:57:17I...
00:57:17I...
00:57:17I...
00:57:18I...
00:57:18I...
00:57:19I...
00:57:21I...
00:57:22We wanted to believe that music would help Mary Lou stay with her family longer.
00:57:27We didn't know if it could do this until we met Norman and Nell.
00:57:31Nell and I have been able to avoid long-term care for a number of years by trying to keep
00:57:52her constantly stimulated.
00:57:54Music has been an enormous part of it.
00:57:58Then you'll play the piano for us?
00:58:00Yes, but I just want to be with you a lot.
00:58:03Okay.
00:58:04Do you mind?
00:58:05Absolutely not.
00:58:07I love that.
00:58:08Norman has cared for Nell at home for 10 years without drugs.
00:58:21Without personalized music, Nell would be in an institution.
00:58:26I've spent 38 years now working on Alzheimer's disease, and I haven't done anything for patients
00:58:38that's as effective as the music therapy is.
00:58:42I wish I had, and I'm still trying, but I really haven't seen anything as positive as that.
00:58:54Mary Lou and Nell have family.
00:59:09Imagine having to navigate this on your own, far from your home.
00:59:16Denise got a message to us that she wanted us to come back.
00:59:24I'm having fun.
00:59:26Good.
00:59:26That she had something to tell us.
00:59:30And we came.
00:59:32Dad, how are you?
00:59:34I'm fine.
00:59:34Because we knew no one else visits her.
00:59:40It's a letter from the hospital describing her condition.
00:59:51That means that it has spread.
00:59:54Yes.
00:59:55So because of that, I think it's just very serious.
01:00:01It is very serious.
01:00:05You know, life goes on.
01:00:12It goes on.
01:00:14Whether you die or not, it goes on.
01:00:18And I cannot accept that I don't leave something in this world for somebody.
01:00:25I cannot accept that.
01:00:28Do you understand what I'm saying?
01:00:35It's painful to feel that what you have to give is not needed.
01:00:42That there's no one there to receive your gifts.
01:00:48In our past, in all our stories, in other cultures, elderhood had something to give.
01:01:03And there was always someone there who needed what elders had to give.
01:01:11Is this true in our new world?
01:01:14Does elderhood have a place?
01:01:21We're taught from a very early age that adulthood is the pinnacle of existence.
01:01:31And that older people are really just broken down versions of their former incredible selves.
01:01:38We built a culture that prizes individuals who are able to emulate the success of machines that can be machine-like in how they live.
01:01:55This is not good news for aging, I have to say.
01:02:10Because aging is not a machine-like endeavor.
01:02:12It's the fact that they're moving into a different way of living that causes America to put them away, to hide them away.
01:02:25What I've learned over a career of working with older people is that American culture is wrong.
01:02:36There is actually life beyond adulthood.
01:02:41There's actually the opportunity to live and grow and become elders.
01:02:48We are made to age, and the aging that we experience actually holds in it very important learnings
01:03:05and lessons.
01:03:18There is a touch that takes a lifetime to achieve.
01:03:25There is a touch that takes a lifetime to achieve.
01:03:36Locking this touch away is like stripping from ourselves, part of being human.
01:03:43These people that we see in this nursing home, their spirits are dumped on because we're locking them away.
01:03:56But when you bring the music, that spirit is what you see that comes out.
01:04:00The spirit is still fresh and young.
01:04:05My pain is very painful.
01:04:07Oh, sorry.
01:04:08But you know what?
01:04:11What?
01:04:13I can take a lot of pain.
01:04:15You look like a very strong person.
01:04:19I am.
01:04:20I'm very strong.
01:04:38I am.
01:04:39I am.
01:04:45Very soothing.
01:04:46Isn't it?
01:04:57You need to have that person in front of you who you're gonna be sharing with.
01:05:05Keep playing.
01:05:08Ce n'est pas quelque chose que vous pouvez juste retourner.
01:05:11Vous avez de complètement ouvertes vous-même.
01:05:17Vous avez de vous-même, et une fois que vous avez de vous-même,
01:05:21il ouvre un dialogue.
01:05:26Tenez-vous ça, tenez-vous.
01:05:31Quand vous allez retourner à Uganda,
01:05:34vous allez vous demander qui vous a donné ce qui vous a donné.
01:05:36Qu'est-ce que vous pensez ?
01:05:38La plus forte femme que j'ai rencontré.
01:06:06...
01:06:08Dan was breaking through.
01:06:12He received a grant to give matching funds to 35 nursing homes.
01:06:17And it's Colorado.
01:06:18Okay, then Colorado.
01:06:19Oh, that's good.
01:06:20And this time, the nursing homes were lining up.
01:06:24Gosh, how many different states is this going to be?
01:06:26Just amazing.
01:06:28Oh, yeah.
01:06:30Here we have 50 headphones, and this represents 50 changed lives.
01:06:35That's great.
01:06:36A lot of music.
01:06:38After three years of filming,
01:06:40Dan had music in 56 homes.
01:06:44We knew this was just a drop in the bucket.
01:06:51Just changing something in a nursing home somewhere,
01:06:56it doesn't take you far enough.
01:06:58Our real focus of concern needs to be the 1.6 million people
01:07:01who are living in nursing homes
01:07:02and how to make the lives of everyone better.
01:07:09I thought this was just going to be...
01:07:12just like that.
01:07:14People would just take the idea and run with it.
01:07:17They didn't.
01:07:19I left Dan knowing he would never stop.
01:07:26I hoped maybe he'd reach the right person
01:07:30and they would help him
01:07:32and this dream of his would come true.
01:07:44We first see Henry unresponsive
01:07:47and almost unalive.
01:07:49Henry?
01:07:50Yes.
01:07:51I know your music.
01:07:52Then he is given his favorite music.
01:07:55Oh.
01:07:57And immediately, he lights up.
01:08:00His face assumes expression.
01:08:02His eyes open wide
01:08:03and he's being animated by the music.
01:08:07This is his reaction ever since.
01:08:10Do you like music?
01:08:14Yeah, I'm crazy about music.
01:08:16You play beautiful music.
01:08:17Beautiful sounds.
01:08:19What does music do to you?
01:08:22Give me the feeling of love.
01:08:24No matter.
01:08:25Figure right now the world needs to come into music.
01:08:29Singing.
01:08:30You got beautiful music in.
01:08:32And there's a feeling of love.
01:08:35Dream.
01:08:36You know that little video that I made for Dan, right?
01:08:38Wow.
01:08:39I think some kid posted it onto reddit.com.
01:08:43And it's insane.
01:08:45And I'm getting swamped.
01:08:49I'm behind by 85 emails.
01:08:5185 people contacted me.
01:08:53And if I had 300 people, I mean, it's just, you know.
01:08:57I mean, you just gotta, you gotta scroll down and just read what these people are saying.
01:09:02I'm, you've never heard anybody write anything like this.
01:09:07It's like, it's crazy.
01:09:10My grandma's very much like Henry.
01:09:12I've been trying nearly everything to get her more alert and happy.
01:09:15My grandfather died three days ago.
01:09:17Music has so much power in his feet.
01:09:19Her eyes lit up instantly and the smile on her face made my day.
01:09:23I haven't cried yet.
01:09:24I bought her a seat.
01:09:25But this has made me start cheering up.
01:09:27She was so emotional.
01:09:28Maybe if this worked for Henry, it could work for my grandmother.
01:09:31When the music ended, my mother looked up.
01:09:33She got so emotional and so caught up in the music.
01:09:36And it was so uplifted.
01:09:37I'll hold that memory forever.
01:09:38The music carried her away.
01:09:40I have to do this.
01:09:41I'm going home to see my mother with Alzheimer's.
01:09:45She is, at this moment, listening to Ray Charles sing, Come Rain or Come Shine.
01:09:50And she has found her place in the world again.
01:09:55Music back in your life, mama.
01:10:00Were you surprised that clip went viral?
01:10:03I mean, millions and millions of people have seen it.
01:10:05Completely surprised.
01:10:06People just, they watched it.
01:10:07They saw a human being come alive.
01:10:09And when any of us come alive, it touches us deeply.
01:10:13And that's why we want to involve the community, both in getting iPods donated and having the students come into the nursing homes to work with the residents, find their playlists.
01:10:24We've been afraid to enter these places.
01:10:28Afraid of aging.
01:10:30Afraid of having nothing to give.
01:10:33But music, entering one 94-year-old man, reminded us, we do have something to give.
01:10:44Oh, my friend.
01:10:46How are you?
01:10:48All we have to do is ask, what's your favorite song?
01:10:52Hey, Benny, what's your favorite song?
01:10:54What's your favorite song?

01:11:02Blackbird singing the dead of the night.
01:11:04Yeah, that's a lovely one.
01:11:05That's beautiful song.
01:11:06Yeah, beautiful.
01:11:07Well, I have.

01:11:14Look how fast her mind is responding to her songs.
01:11:18When the night has come.

01:11:24And the land is dark.
01:11:28En musique, Mary Lou feels like she's perfect again.
01:11:34Like she's flowing through life.
01:11:41And so it is for all of us.
01:11:45Music gives us something we hunger deeply for.
01:11:52Something we've pursued for thousands of years.
01:11:58We wired our very brains for.
01:12:02We need music.
01:12:05It awakens in us our most profound safety.
01:12:11The safety of living in concert with each other and our own selves.
01:12:19And what happens to you when you hear it?
01:12:22I feel good.
01:12:26It's like I got a girl.
01:12:28I want to stay with her.
01:12:41And that is why, together, we're going to do this one small kindness.
01:12:47We're going to bring life into the places where it's been forgotten.
01:12:56And together...
01:12:58Whoa!
01:12:59Whoa!
01:12:59Whoa!
01:12:59We will listen.
01:13:03I'm a man on fire, walking through your street, with one guitar and two dancing feet.
01:13:17I'm a man on fire, walking through your street, with one guitar and two dancing feet.
01:13:29Only one desire that's left in me, on the whole damn world, to come dance with me.
01:13:40Oh, come dance with me, oh, I'm hurt her in vain.
01:13:52Come set you free, oh, I'm hurt her in vain.
01:13:56Come set you free, oh, I'm heartache and shame.
01:14:02You have a beautiful voice.
01:14:10You have a beautiful voice.
01:14:11Oh, we're breathing, learning, and learning from.
01:14:21Everybody wants safety, safety, love.
01:14:32Everybody want comfort, comfort, love.
01:14:37Everybody wants certain, certain love.
01:14:42Everybody but me.
01:14:49I'm a man on fire, walking down your street, with one guitar and two dancing feet.
01:14:59Only one desire that's left in me, on the whole damn world, you're gonna dance with me.
01:15:09Maybe one of us wants a man on fire andPO.
01:15:21Only one desire that's in my country.
01:15:26Only one desire that's left in my life.
01:15:31Notice that every one woman can join in your Não Francais,
01:15:34in the world of prosperity.
01:15:35Only one desire that's left in my heart.
