	I saw this on one of the news sources and it touched me deeply and I wanted others to see it that have not seen it yet. As many of you know, music can touch our very soul or transport us to another world or another place or let us express our thoughts and feelings, fill us with joy and oh so many other things. I hope you all enjoy this as much as I did. :) Millions watch as iPod music "lights up" man in nursing home Quote: Listening to music can have a profound effect on the human brain. In "Alive Inside," a documentary produced by Ximotion Media, producers follow social worker Yvonne Russell's attempt to reinvigorate nursing home patients with dementia and Alzheimer's disease. A clip of the YouTube video has gone viral, and it is pulling at people's heartstrings. Nursing home resident Henry is given an iPod loaded with popular music from his younger days, including some of his favorite songs. Henry, who once sat hunched over and barely spoke, lights up with life and expression as he sings along and bobs his head to the music. The normally unresponsive man is now animated and wants to converse about the music he just listened to. Neurologist Oliver Sacks, who makes an appearance in the video, says that "music evokes emotion, and emotion can bring with it memory and brings back the feeling of life when nothing else can." The video has already received more than 2.8 million views in just over four days, and the number of views is increasing rapidly. Response to the video has been mostly positive, with people who have watched the video calling it "touching," "beautiful," and "truly amazing." http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=fyZQf0p73QM

	Hi Everly, This is the best idea I have heard for a nursing home, ever. I think it is wonderful. They might not have anything on the outside, but the inside is filled with love. Music is a great way of bringing the love out. I can't believe it has taken so long for someone to come up with such a great idea. I guess it is when the timing is right. Thanks for posting this, it is lovely. Blessings, Myrna

	Hi Myrna, yes I thought it was lovely too. Back in Febuary of 2004 at one point we had to put my dad in a nursing home because at the time we, as a family, thought it was the best thing to do but were we ever wrong. He was only there for 19 days but even that was too long. This particular nursing home was terrible and after we took our dad out they ended up having their license suspended several times until it was sold and new owners took over. We brought him home and hired people to come in around the clock to help my mom take care of him and then my siblings and I filled in as often as we could. We all had jobs and couldn't be there around the clock. My heart goes out to people who have no other choice than be placed in a nursing home. From what I've seen of two or three none of them take very good care of the patients. Quote: Hi Everly, This is the best idea I have heard for a nursing home, ever. I think it is wonderful.
