Music is more than sounds coming through a set of speakers. Music brings people together and also can bring back many happy memories. In this clip, Henry is given a set of headphones and an iPod. Henry lights up when the music turns on and he immediately starts to sing and dance. Someone asked Henry what his favorite song was when he was young. Henry started singing the song like he had just heard it yesterday. Some people don't realize how powerful music is. Music has the power to bring people to life. It's amazing how your mind can be gone, but yet some how you can remember your favorite song when you were sixteen.
That's uplifting to watch and it is really interesting because we talked about music in class with the Sullivan essay.
ReplyDeleteAt least music gives Henry an outlet to experience something and to feel alive. "I'm crazy about music." He says it with such convinction. And he's talking about (and singing) Cab Calloway. Amazing. Thanks for sharing this.
