Old man in nursing home regenerated by music
I listened to a TED lecture a few years ago that explained that in the event that you should get dementia that you would still have all the songs and poetry that you might have memorised through your lifetime. Which although I'm not intending to go down that road should give a certain amount of reassurance to those who might.
The example in this video although not clearly stated as dementia definitely shows the power of music to regenerate albeit for a short time the person inside.

I have witnessed this (or a similar) effect myself. Playing piano for the elder and impaired people. When they hear something they recognize, I have reached out to them. I see it in their eyes, smile etc. Makes my day
