Psychotherapist Reacts To Brett Eldredge - Raymond

First time hearing this song... it's wonderful. I was a caregiver for just over 20 years professionally taking care of mentally and physically handicapped individuals, and elderly with Alzheimer's. The work will break your heart then heal it again, over and over. You are correct that with Alzheimer patients it's best to go along with their memories without trying to correct them. I used to call them their rememberies. If they began to get upset about where they were, or things not being as they thought they should be, redirection to another thought was so much more helpful than correction. I remember and love each one of them that I cared for and became a better person because of each of them.❤

My husband grew up with the Eldredge family. Went to school with both parents (VERY small Illinois town), and knows Brett himself. Brett is the same kind human as he portrays in this video. This is a great message to be understanding and help the Alzheimer's patient be at peace with their memories instead of trying to force them to be in our reality. They're in theirs. Thank you.

I'm going to recommend a song by Matt Kennon, The Call. It's a touching, moving song. Also I am going to suggest a more lighthearted song and that is Voiceplay's cover of Drunken Sailor. They are an acapella group that put a lot of passion and theatrics into their videos. Great reaction. Loved your insights into one of my favorite songs

hey mate, i know your probably not too much of a gamer, but there is a game called OMORI, i think youd enjoy playing through and dissecting all the parts of it from the music to the story

Amazing analysis

One of my favorite songs of all time

This song make me bawl like a baby. I grew up a military brat. Thwn 28 years as a law enforcement officer. My grandmother suffered from Dementia. It just breaks me.

Hey, Jim.

I really appreciate you covering this song. It's my first introduction to this piece in general, and is one of the hardest situations I feel like I've tried to grasp as a person who could be on either end of the disease one day. I also most definitely appreciate the analysis of pieces you do for musicians like Ren and Tool, but this kind of song/piece hits a particular tone for me so your words of knowledge/wisdom have touched me deeply.

I particularly loved the reminder of reaping what you sow (in a positive light and ultimately receiving more than you gave potentially)! If you're ever looking for a video in the future to touch on this subject, I'd highly recommend, "A Good Day" by Shane Koyczan.

I hope that anyone who needs a video like this, finds it in general though, especially if you ever find yourself in the position of the main character noted in this source material or similar. I hope you choose to tackle diseases akin to this one in the future even knowing they won't get the same view counts as higher profile artists in this general domain.

P.S. I also love your representation of the Blues artists on your wall from video to video (and Mr. Rogers). I only hope that some viewers google those artists from time to time to experience their artistic expressions!

Hey Jim, I’m just now seeing this but was thrilled to see that you did my video suggestion! I work with dementia patients daily and your kind words brought tears to my eyes. I know this isn’t the typical style of music videos you do, but I appreciate you taking the time to break it down so eloquently for us. Thank you so much.

Thanks!
