I used to play for my grandma on my ukulele at her nursing home. She, too, suffered from dimensia. There was a lady there who never spoke and barely moved - until we played "You Are My Sunshine". We came to find out that it was her and her husband's song. I bawled during Coco because I used to play a song for Nanny called "I’ll Remember You" on my ukulele. Since I went to college out of state, I put that song and four others on a CD for her. Today, coincidentally, is the third anniversary of her passing.
Doodle Dabble I’m sorry to hear about your loss, dementia and Alzheimer’s are both extremely cruel diseases. I have a grandmother who is currently in the final stages, but even so I believe talking to them and acknowledging them is really important. I’m glad to hear you did all of that for your grandmother, it is truly beautiful.
Small thing to note: Coco's real name is Socorro, which is a pretty common name for older Mexican woman, but also literally means something like 'plea for help.'
I think Socorro it's just something like help in a great manner, in the context of the name I always thought of it as something along the lines of "they who brings help"
@@Chowdeeeer As a religious person I think this translation is more accurate because the name comes from the Virgin of Socorro, who brings help. But we can't really know which was the intention for her name
@@Chowdeeeer you're correct. As you probably know given your last name, little girls would be named after the Virgin Mary in this case La Virgen del Socorro.
I never understood the whole 'someone like me' and representation in movies until Coco came out. I'm half white, half Mexican. I grew up mostly with mexican influence at home until my teenage years when i moved in with my white grandparents and while i still associated myself with being mexican and all the stuff i grew up with i never put much thought into it. Its just how it was. I grew up and married a white woman from Utah, became very close to her family who, until moving to Texas, had very little interaction with ethnic cultures. So i was surrounded by you average caucasian american lifestyles. Then when Coco came out i thought it would be funny to take my wife and see how accurate it was, i.e. how many times the chancla comes out. Instead i ended up with tears in my eyes at the memories and emotions it brought out. I had no idea how much i missed it, or how different things where now. Remember Me hit hard man. Now i get the representation idea and how important it actually can be, even if I still dont agree with how its usually done. Ive made it a point to bring the culture i grew up with into me and my wife's home aswell.
Representation is also really important to rich straight white people who know nothing but other straight white people to combat racism. It's also good for children to know that there are more options than straight white buff/thin people to look up to, regardless of their race, gender, or eventual sexuality. So even if you don't really care if your culture isn't being represented, you should still fight for it for all these other reasons.

I can't listen to any of the music in coco without feeling like I'm on the verge of tears, lol. No other movie (or media for that matter) has ever been able to effect me emotionally like this.
Does anyone remember that story going around about Ilene Woods (Cinderella)? towards the end of her life when she was suffering from Alzheimer's, the nurses where she lived would play "A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes" and she would really react to it.
funny thing is that my name is also miguel, and whenever his abuelita shouted his name I felt like I was also being shouted at, I felt a little scared... I think it has to do with the same thing, my amigdala is wired to respond to that "MIGUEL!" in a defensive manner (as if to say "they found out about it, omg, gotta run for my life", the chancla is rising again)
White person moment: for a second when I read the word "amigdala" I thought you were talking a family member, because I thought it was similar to like "abuela" or something. 😂😂
Hannah Barnes amigdala, or, amygdala, is the part of your brain that is connected to your emotions and other emotional triggers. So, can u knot? has an emotional reaction of fear and anxiousness when they hear Miguel’s grandma (abuela) shout “MIGUEL!” since the amygdala associated hearing their name, Miguel, with a feeling of anxiousness and fear. If you meant abuela, that just means grandmother in Spanish.
As a nurse who works in a nursing home, I'd really like to see music therapy made available in our building, not just for our dementia residents but for people post-CVA. I've seen videos how stroke patients have gone from being completely non-verbal to being able to carry a conversation. The world of medicine has just begun to scratch the surface of the potential benefits music has to offer.
I think that would be an interesting field to go into, but I have a bit of a fear of old people, just because they're so fragile, so I'm scared of accidentally hurting them...
ok about that if you see how many people actually have RUclips in the US alone you'll see that your estimated 4mil nurses would be very hard to find in a specific video since the numbers of videos there actually are
That scene in Coco was stuck in my head, I was crying when I saw it because I remembered my grandma, she has Alzheimer's, so she literally cannot remember most of us. We can only communicate when she hears the music she used to like, we sing it together, it's the only bond we can do because she can't remember me anymore, but when we listen to music, I'm happy when she remembers that I'm his grandson. music is a very powerful thing. Amazing video btw.
My great grandma had Alzheimer's, and near the end of her life, she would often be in a loop of thought--asking about her late husband, and late long time boyfriend, saying she wants to go home, etc. We could give her distractions, but after making her laugh and smile, it would be back to square one. One of the things that really helped her stay in a positive state of mind was music. If she was on that loop of sadness or confusion, I'd sing to her some songs she used to sing to me growing up. She'd always, without fail, sing with me. We'd just sing those songs over and over, and she'd be delighted. Sometimes we'd play some songs from her time as well. If you have a loved one with with dementia or Alzheimer's, here's my advice to you. 1) Try not to ask them "do you remember me?". My great grandma forgot my name, and my relation to her, but she always enjoyed it when I visited her because I would make it about her being happy. 2) Be with them in their reality. If they believe someone that passed is still alive, talk to them as if they are. Do not force them to grieve over and over. If they believe they are in 1956, be in 1956. Sometimes my great grandma would go from aware of her husbands passing to thinking he was still alive, often in the span of a few minutes--just go with whatever they say in the moment. Be gentle, be patient. 3) Do not get angry with their forgetfulness. They can't help it, and to them it's the first time asking that question, even if you've heard it 20 times in the past 10 minutes. 4) Take care of yourself. This process is emotionally draining, and it can be difficult to cope. Reach out to your loved ones, your friends and family. Go to therapy, eat well, take a walk.
I've always been extremely interested in the connection between dementia and music. Before my grandfather passed, he has severe dementia that had started in his 50s. By the time I was born, his memory was very weak, but he could form connections, albeit unstable. In the later stages of his life, he eventually forgot everything, my siblings and I, my mother, and even my grandma. Interestingly enough, he never forgot music. He had grown up in a religious home, and still went to church every Sunday. My grandma was bedridden by this point, but she still insisted on having a small church service on Sundays. (I'm not just saying this, its important, I promise) So every week, when my grandma started singing hymns, my grandpa would spring to life, singing every word as if they were etched on his heart. He sang quite a bit in his later years, including old songs from his childhood. I was very sad to never know the brilliant math professor he was in his youth, but through music, I was still able to see the man he used to be. This video was very interesting and fun to watch. I've been a fan of the channel for a while, and will continue to watch every video. Keep up the amazing work!
SomnusJarocho If Coco hadn’t come out last year, Loving Vincent would’ve had it in the bag. I loved Coco, and growing up around my Mexican family really just came close to home, but Loving Vincent was a piece of art that hadn’t been achieved before in that capacity. My breath was taken away watching all the brushstrokes in every frame, and I was really rooting for it to win.
I've seen this exact thing in action. I used to work as a full time carer for mentally disabled adults. One lady I used to care for became brain damaged at the age of 5 because of a house fire during the 1950's. She couldn't talk very much, but she seemed to really enjoy music. One day we got special permission to take her to see a show in London called Dreamboats and Petticoats. It's a dukebox musical set in the 1950's. It honestly blew my mind to see this woman who could barely talk, sing along to EVERY song in the show!! Music is fucking witchcraft! Every time I see this scene in Coco, I think of her and I'm in tears.
This is fantastic. I got a request from a patron to analyze Remember Me at one point and I wasn't really sure how to approach it 'cause the composition's not super complicated and I didn't really want to get into the stylistic cultural aspects 'cause that's not my story to tell, but this is a really great way to do it. Also Coco's an amazing movie.
I actually owe you a big thanks. I saw this video when my grandma was suffering from dementia and was losing the ability to speak. After I saw this video I looked up a few songs I knew she used to hum to herself and played them for her. She absolutely came alive and started moving her arms to dance and even sang along a little. It really meant a lot to me and my family to have that moment with her before she passed. Just thought you might like to know that your work really makes a difference.
I had the luck of growing up in a multilingual family, and got to enjoy this movie in French, Mexican Spanish and very recently English. Honestly, all versions are great, and while I really like the Spanish version for the immersion and the realness of it, for some reason the English one stuck more to me, maybe because the performances of the actors were directly linked to the animation. Regardless, excellent video, and I can't help but cry a little every single time I see that scene or hear that song
Halefall I don't speak Spanish and I'm not a fan of Latin American music, however I prefer a song that it's sung in only one language and I think Spanish fits better for the scene, even tho the movie is in English
7:14 I'm gonna stop here to ask something to those who know about this. Basically, that's the same reason why tennagers hate when their rockstars change style? Like, I've always been a Korn fan and I've bought all their records and kept listening to them for ever. I remember since they started changing their style on their fifth record, fans started getting pissed off about it. Some even consider the band to have been ruined ever since. They expected the same kind of song every single time, but when they get a new style they just get off beat and they hate the band for not stimulating their desire to keep listening to the same thing. Am I right?

When Coco came out, I wasn't too keen on watching a lot of the newer Disney stuff, but when I watched it the first time, I appreciated that part in the movie where Coco's memories are restored, and I really like learning about the science behind stuff like this. To be honest, I'm still probably gonna like a lot of 80's rock and modern pop stuff since my dad and I have been listening to classic rock ever since I was little, and my mom and I both really like modern pop.
Yeah, I didn’t watch it when it came out either But then I went to my friends house and she was like “you haven’t watched it? We gotta watch it” And then after my mum picked me up, I’m like, “hey wanna watch this really cool movie I just watched” lol Twice in one day
There was a nursing home across the street from the church I went to growing up. Once a month our pastor would hold a church service in the nursing home. Some of the patients didn't remember their own names but knew every word to those old hymns.
That movie broke my heart. That song broke my heart. I hope that there are other people out there, with family members suffering from dementia, who could find as much comfort in Coco as I did
I JUST WATCHED IT!!! AND YES, IT'S AMAZING! tho this video kinda spoiled it a bit, I'm glad I watched it before watching the movie bc it made that final scene more special.
There was a story I heard where a dementia patient reacted in a strong positive manner to Metal music because his only Granddaughter was a huge metal fan.
The visceral, physical rage I felt when Barney showed up and started singing is impossible for me to describe, but it basically triggered my fight/flight instinct and I wanted to leap through my laptop screen and throttle him
I have very eclectic music taste (which makes it difficult for me to define my tastes when asked). I wonder if that has to do with the fact that I have always loved musicals and soundtracks, even as a teenager, which are very eclectic in their music because it has to match the story.
Lol yeah, my music tastes are… Musicals, video game soundtracks, christian music, lofi music, etc So many things, but not really ‘normal’ songs or popular songs lol
I remember when I visited my grandmother and we watched Mary Poppins together. She couldn’t really talk well, but she sang along to “Let’s Go Fly a Kite” and it is something I’ll never forget.
We sang at an assisted living facility and a man who hadn't spoken coherently in 7 years starting talking about his memories about being a boy scout as a child. The caretakers were amazed.

I’m a medical student focused in neurology, and I’m so happy that you made a video about this. I’ve loved your content thoroughly, and more people need to be made aware of the power music can have on the brain. Thank you :)
As someone who knows very little about music and why we love it and listen to it so much, this channel just has such a great way of explaining it so it makes sense. I love this channel!! Don’t stop what you’re doing! 👏🏻👏🏻
Also because it is short term memory that goes first. Newer memories get erased first and older memories stay, that is another reason the scene works, because often times childhood memories are the easiest to remember. It is also why often dementia patients are given a baby doll. It relaxes them. As they would remember their children younger rather than older.
I wanna thank you for posting this video! My great grandma also has dementia and its really bad. Today she had an episode that caused her to hit me. It hurts to know that the person you care for isnt there anymore but this really made me feel better about her whole situation. Even tho thats not really what this video is about the fact that the woman who loves me is still there! Thank you❤️❤️❤️
Kittn Bravo it is very hard. we went through similar things with my grandpa. They're there, even if it's hard for them or us to see it. And it hurts. I'm sending lots of love and hugs. I hope you and yours can find strength and peace
Can you make a video explaining why we find music in movies much more enjoyable than if we were to just listen to the song normally? Or is that even explainable? 🤔 I don't know, just makes me wonder
This is just my two cents about that: Movies have an added emotional connection through watching the characters. In movies, you are connected to the story already, so when the song plays, there is more emotion behind it because you have the context of the movie plot to strengthen that emotional connection.
Thats also why product placement in movies is a thing. If you get a brand/logo/product presented to you while under the positive stimulus of a movie, you‘re more likely to remember that thing fondly because your brain ties the brand/logo/product to the emotional response you are having. Pretty insidious actually.
I think it's because a movie adds greater meaning to the music via characters and storylines that we relate to, which makes the music's impact on us more powerful.
Thsi type of therapy is beautiful, the video of the old lady with dimenisa dancing to a song in swan lake because she was a ballerina and she still remembers the dance with her emotion .
From a couple years now, my Grandma has been taking care of my great-grandmother, a 93 year old lady with an undefined massive memory loss, that we don't know for sure if it is dementia or alzheimer. Although, it's really, really fascinating how, when her litlle collection of music is playing (she had some vinyl discs and casettes that we digitalized), she lights up and starts talking about her young years, her firsts friends and some romances. It is something really, really beautiful. When i watched Coco, that scene really touched me, at the point i teared up in the theater alongside my best friend, and until this point i did'nt knew why. i just discovered this channel and started liking the videos, but this one touched me personally. Thank you
this movie makes me sob every time and im mexican so it just adds on to that bahaha. thanks for covering coco!! maybe you should do another video about it!
pauses at 4:05 welp , glad to know my life as a boy is officially fucking tarnished and over *seconds later* "see this part of your brain?........until your 25 years old" _biggest sigh of relief and hope for myself i had in 5 years , thanks Sideways_
I’m 4 years late, but oh, well. I don’t care. My grandmother had dementia and for the last few years of her life wasn’t herself. It was so hard to watch her literally fade away. The times when she was most like herself was when we played hymns for her. Coco is so emotional to watch now that she’s gone 💗
I used to listen to classical music all the time when I was really little, although I wasn't aware of it. I loved watching those tapes where they put footage of animals to classical, but I was more interested in the animals than the music. Later on, I became a very dedicated classical fan, and was surprised to remember pieces that were in those tapes despite the fact that I didn't think I really "listened" to them. For example, the Largo theme from Dvorak's New World and the first movement of Smetana's Moldau were in those tapes, but I was instantly able to recognize the piece, even though I hadn't heard them in years. And earlier this year, a complex set of associations with Tchaikovsky's first piano concerto (both good and bad) cemented the piece as my go-to coping mechanism whenever things go wrong. I'm terrified of dementia (it runs in my family), so I do my best to do things to keep my brain active, like learning instruments, reading, writing, making art, and learning foreign languages. I don't know if I'll keep up that fervor for the rest of my life, but I'm hoping that desire to learn stays with me. Nonetheless, I'm pretty certain if I'm old and my brain is deteriorating, if someone plays Piano Concerto No. 1 in B flat minor for me, I'll instantly be able to recognize it.
I listen to classical music nowadays. I was also subject to it when I was younger. The surprising piece for which this happened to me was the opening of Schumann’s Kinderszenen. That’s ironic, considering that Kinderszenen is usually translated as “Scenes from Childhood.” I was somehow able to remember the opening more than Traumerei because the opening is simpler and rhythmically repetitive.
My grandfather had Parkinson's or something similar. He was a very smart man, so to see him lose the ability to speak hurt so much. He was wise and loving, and near the end, it was very difficult to know if he was understanding something or not. The last time i saw him alive, i knew he was dying soon, so not knowing what to say to him, i decided not to think about it and show him one of the key chains i had on my lanyard. A blue pacman ghost bottle opener. He was always interested in gadgets and tools, so i thought he'd like to see it. When he saw it, he laughed with a smile. That was the last time i saw him (and the most expressive I'd seen him in a long time) but that goofy gadget made him laugh, and I'll always fondly remember that he still loved the things he enjoyed years ago. This video brought that memory back. Love you grandpa ❤

And here I am, crying about that movie again, and that song. God, it's so beautiful, and I love the message, that we shouldn't forget the people who aren't around anymore.
This movie got me so emotional. I lost a member of my family a few years ago, she died from Alzheimer's disease. I do remember her but my brain seems to somehow have blocked most of my memories related to her, probably because I never really got the chance to mourn her. What I do know is that I used to draw when I was visiting her, and everytime I showed her what I just drawn she seemed to wake up from any kind of dream she was having. Art is our most powerful healing tool.
I have a great-aunt who's over 80 years old and has dementia. Overall, her life is exactly like Coco's; she doesn't remember names, can't really hold a conversation or read anymore, the whole thing - she isn't in a wheelchair, but can't really do much except for laying down and sitting up... Imagine the entire family's surprise when in a party one day we played Sinatra (incidentally, the song she used to dance with her husband when she was very young), and not only could she hum along - she sat up and swayed/danced the whole thing, including little hand gestures in the spots where the band stops/wells up The power of music, man... it's the most wonderful thing

You beautifully explained how music can access and create strong emotional memories!! I'm currently a grad student in music therapy working with older adults with Dementia. Coco's reaction to Miguel playing her father's song mirrors what happens in the older adults I see exactly. This entire movie was wonderful, but that scene in particular had me sobbing because of Coco's reaction and how the music activated deeply encoded memories that were not activated by other stimuli. What was even better was how you explained how those highly emotional memories form at a young age through Miguel. I love your videos and this has definitely become one of my favorites. Thank you for taking the time to research and explain music therapy and the music in this movie so well.
@@guidetoanything from what I've heard, the average age when peoples music tastes stop being influenced greatly is around 19. I discovered my current favorite genre at 18
@@elliotschonwetter3574 That would make sense! While I still always enjoy finding new music to love as an adult, my favorite genre and band are the same as they have been since I was about 19. I wouldn't say my tastes have changed very much since then, although I have added more styles to enjoy into my "repertoire".

I happened to stumble across the video and, god, both the video and the comments are making me tear up because y'all are telling your stories and it reminds me of why I even got into music in the first place and now I'm just both solemn and happy to see what music is capable of.
And also this shows why at high schools nowadays, nearly every teen has headphones in and use them so much during classes. It’s all coming together now
Music is stored in a different place in the brain to normal memories. Really simple way of putting it but the effect music can have on someone suffering from dementia is beautiful. The animation in this scene captured it so perfectly. Like she's waking up a little. This scene makes the movie
My dear grandmother passed away from dementia a few years back and seeing this film touched me in a way I cannot describe. My uncle likes to play guitar in the house and always has. She had always loved the sound of it and there were definitely times where she "came back" so to speak. Thank You Pixar. And thank you, Sideways, for making this video. Keep up the incredible work man.
Then that explains my crazy music taste!! The other day I was wondering why all of my current tastes (shit like the Emo Trinity, Disparition, Glass Animals, The East Pointers, Nujabes, and Daft Punk) were so weird, but it kinda clicked when I was on a nostalgia trip listening to the Bleach soundtrack, *a series I binged as an early teenager* . Creepy ambience, rock battle themes, alternative shit way too similar to Gorillaz's self titled album, and loooots of acoustic guitar pieces. This all suddenly makes a whole lotta sense!
Same! I love Gorillaz and Coldplay, both I grew up listening to since I entered Middle school, but my brain clicked when I listened to John William and James Newton Howard scores. But most of all, Disney Park music loops, especially the old ones like Epcot 1984 (Horizons, Spaceship Earth, Communicore) and the 40s pop music you'd hear when waiting in line for Indiana Jones
CVerse Yeah! And old Disney movies do wonders for making you click with stuff like Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Tape Five, and 11 Acorn Lane! Movies and tv really help solidify music tastes in a surprisingly subtle way!
Vesta Blackclaw took a listen to Big bad Voodoo daddy, and I had no idea there are artists who still write music like this, pretty cool. And yeah, old Disney music does that. And I'm pretty sure Disney really knows about that. Whenever you're waiting somewhere in the park or even inside Disney's Magical Express, you can hear arrangements of classic Disney music made just for the bus or the park. It clicks with people even before they enter the park. Hmmm, I think Sideways should make a video on that! How Disney is able to influence people in the park with music
CVerse That would be a neat video, yeah! Wouldn't know from personal experience, but my best friend lives right by a Six Flags and the music she hears affected her greatly. And yeah! Neo swing and big band! Even dark cabaret and electroswing. They're such fun genres, and the artists sound like they're having a BLAST. There's also a huge push for covers (Postmodern Jukebox, what they did for Bioshock Infinite, and Robin Adele Anderson) and remixes of old songs (Sim Gretina and Parov Stelar). It's such an _awesome_ genre of music.
My last living grandmother is suffering from dementia, so every scene Coco was in hit close to home. Especially being called wrong names and trying to find a correct memory to bring her back and try to get her to actually recognize me. During that singing scene I've miserably bawled my eyes out, giving up my man card without hesitation.
Hi Sideways! Loved Coco, loved this movie, and loved this video! Thanks for all that you do! PS I loved you and 12 Tone and 8-Bit and Adam hanging out yesterday! I hope we get a serialized version because I could listen to you all talk about music and whatever else the wind carries.
Well excuse me while I go cry again

Oh no
Right behind you
I used to play for my grandma on my ukulele at her nursing home. She, too, suffered from dimensia. There was a lady there who never spoke and barely moved - until we played "You Are My Sunshine". We came to find out that it was her and her husband's song. I bawled during Coco because I used to play a song for Nanny called "I’ll Remember You" on my ukulele. Since I went to college out of state, I put that song and four others on a CD for her. Today, coincidentally, is the third anniversary of her passing.

I grew up mostly with mexican influence at home until my teenage years when i moved in with my white grandparents and while i still associated myself with being mexican and all the stuff i grew up with i never put much thought into it. Its just how it was. I grew up and married a white woman from Utah, became very close to her family who, until moving to Texas, had very little interaction with ethnic cultures. So i was surrounded by you average caucasian american lifestyles.

Instead i ended up with tears in my eyes at the memories and emotions it brought out. I had no idea how much i missed it, or how different things where now. Remember Me hit hard man. Now i get the representation idea and how important it actually can be, even if I still dont agree with how its usually done.

Representation is also really important to rich straight white people who know nothing but other straight white people to combat racism. It's also good for children to know that there are more options than straight white buff/thin people to look up to, regardless of their race, gender, or eventual sexuality. So even if you don't really care if your culture isn't being represented, you should still fight for it for all these other reasons.

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
My heart ❤
Woah
That hurts my heart....
funny thing is that my name is also miguel, and whenever his abuelita shouted his name I felt like I was also being shouted at, I felt a little scared...
I think it has to do with the same thing, my amigdala is wired to respond to that "MIGUEL!" in a defensive manner (as if to say "they found out about it, omg, gotta run for my life", the chancla is rising again)
Can u knot? For me it’s my full name.
White person moment: for a second when I read the word "amigdala" I thought you were talking a family member, because I thought it was similar to like "abuela" or something. 😂😂
@@kaiteastman2532 same.....but what is an "amigalda"? Ugh...i need to learn spanish -_-
Hannah Barnes amigdala, or, amygdala, is the part of your brain that is connected to your emotions and other emotional triggers. So, can u knot? has an emotional reaction of fear and anxiousness when they hear Miguel’s grandma (abuela) shout “MIGUEL!” since the amygdala associated hearing their name, Miguel, with a feeling of anxiousness and fear. If you meant abuela, that just means grandmother in Spanish.

As a nurse who works in a nursing home, I'd really like to see music therapy made available in our building, not just for our dementia residents but for people post-CVA. I've seen videos how stroke patients have gone from being completely non-verbal to being able to carry a conversation. The world of medicine has just begun to scratch the surface of the potential benefits music has to offer.
I think that would be an interesting field to go into, but I have a bit of a fear of old people, just because they're so fragile, so I'm scared of accidentally hurting them...
oh so you happen to be a nurse and watching this video yeah ok
@@Nerbto dude there are like 4 million nurses in the US alone, and a lot of us like watching RUclips videos. Its not that strange.
ok about that if you see how many people actually have RUclips in the US alone you'll see that your estimated 4mil nurses would be very hard to find in a specific video since the numbers of videos there actually are
@@Nerbto What? A nurse is a human person that like everyone else enjoys watching content and learning new things? No way! That can’t be possible!
:0
When I heard Remember Me it felt like I've known the song for years so I wouldn't be surprised if they actually hired a musical therapist to write it.
They probably did. Or at least consultated.
That hit EVERYONE right in the feels
That scene in Coco was stuck in my head, I was crying when I saw it because I remembered my grandma, she has Alzheimer's, so she literally cannot remember most of us. We can only communicate when she hears the music she used to like, we sing it together, it's the only bond we can do because she can't remember me anymore, but when we listen to music, I'm happy when she remembers that I'm his grandson. music is a very powerful thing. Amazing video btw.
Same here, just a few seconds and I cried. :)
Coco is amazing
Same, my grandfather has Alzheimer
r/thathappened
@Nerbto ?
My great grandma had Alzheimer's, and near the end of her life, she would often be in a loop of thought--asking about her late husband, and late long time boyfriend, saying she wants to go home, etc. We could give her distractions, but after making her laugh and smile, it would be back to square one. One of the things that really helped her stay in a positive state of mind was music. If she was on that loop of sadness or confusion, I'd sing to her some songs she used to sing to me growing up. She'd always, without fail, sing with me. We'd just sing those songs over and over, and she'd be delighted. Sometimes we'd play some songs from her time as well.
If you have a loved one with with dementia or Alzheimer's, here's my advice to you.
1) Try not to ask them "do you remember me?". My great grandma forgot my name, and my relation to her, but she always enjoyed it when I visited her because I would make it about her being happy.
2) Be with them in their reality. If they believe someone that passed is still alive, talk to them as if they are. Do not force them to grieve over and over. If they believe they are in 1956, be in 1956. Sometimes my great grandma would go from aware of her husbands passing to thinking he was still alive, often in the span of a few minutes--just go with whatever they say in the moment. Be gentle, be patient.
3) Do not get angry with their forgetfulness. They can't help it, and to them it's the first time asking that question, even if you've heard it 20 times in the past 10 minutes.
4) Take care of yourself. This process is emotionally draining, and it can be difficult to cope. Reach out to your loved ones, your friends and family. Go to therapy, eat well, take a walk.
I've always been extremely interested in the connection between dementia and music. Before my grandfather passed, he has severe dementia that had started in his 50s. By the time I was born, his memory was very weak, but he could form connections, albeit unstable. In the later stages of his life, he eventually forgot everything, my siblings and I, my mother, and even my grandma. Interestingly enough, he never forgot music. He had grown up in a religious home, and still went to church every Sunday. My grandma was bedridden by this point, but she still insisted on having a small church service on Sundays. (I'm not just saying this, its important, I promise) So every week, when my grandma started singing hymns, my grandpa would spring to life, singing every word as if they were etched on his heart. He sang quite a bit in his later years, including old songs from his childhood. I was very sad to never know the brilliant math professor he was in his youth, but through music, I was still able to see the man he used to be. This video was very interesting and fun to watch. I've been a fan of the channel for a while, and will continue to watch every video. Keep up the amazing work!
Ok excuse me while this whole comment section makes me cry again
So deserved an oscar
Idk man, I mean, its a fantastic movie, but Loving Vincent was crazy
I disagree
SomnusJarocho If Coco hadn’t come out last year, Loving Vincent would’ve had it in the bag. I loved Coco, and growing up around my Mexican family really just came close to home, but Loving Vincent was a piece of art that hadn’t been achieved before in that capacity. My breath was taken away watching all the brushstrokes in every frame, and I was really rooting for it to win.
It won two.
The oscars are practically bought by Disney, who's surprised it won?
I've seen this exact thing in action. I used to work as a full time carer for mentally disabled adults.
One lady I used to care for became brain damaged at the age of 5 because of a house fire during the 1950's. She couldn't talk very much, but she seemed to really enjoy music.
One day we got special permission to take her to see a show in London called Dreamboats and Petticoats. It's a dukebox musical set in the 1950's. It honestly blew my mind to see this woman who could barely talk, sing along to EVERY song in the show!!
Music is fucking witchcraft! Every time I see this scene in Coco, I think of her and I'm in tears.
Omg.
He actually acknowledges he sounds like Dipper Pines
This is fantastic. I got a request from a patron to analyze Remember Me at one point and I wasn't really sure how to approach it 'cause the composition's not super complicated and I didn't really want to get into the stylistic cultural aspects 'cause that's not my story to tell, but this is a really great way to do it.
Also Coco's an amazing movie.
As a psychology student and musician, your channel really gives me food for thought.
I actually owe you a big thanks. I saw this video when my grandma was suffering from dementia and was losing the ability to speak. After I saw this video I looked up a few songs I knew she used to hum to herself and played them for her. She absolutely came alive and started moving her arms to dance and even sang along a little. It really meant a lot to me and my family to have that moment with her before she passed. Just thought you might like to know that your work really makes a difference.
I had the luck of growing up in a multilingual family, and got to enjoy this movie in French, Mexican Spanish and very recently English. Honestly, all versions are great, and while I really like the Spanish version for the immersion and the realness of it, for some reason the English one stuck more to me, maybe because the performances of the actors were directly linked to the animation. Regardless, excellent video, and I can't help but cry a little every single time I see that scene or hear that song
Halefall I don't speak Spanish and I'm not a fan of Latin American music, however I prefer a song that it's sung in only one language and I think Spanish fits better for the scene, even tho the movie is in English
7:14 I'm gonna stop here to ask something to those who know about this. Basically, that's the same reason why tennagers hate when their rockstars change style? Like, I've always been a Korn fan and I've bought all their records and kept listening to them for ever. I remember since they started changing their style on their fifth record, fans started getting pissed off about it. Some even consider the band to have been ruined ever since. They expected the same kind of song every single time, but when they get a new style they just get off beat and they hate the band for not stimulating their desire to keep listening to the same thing. Am I right?
Can I cry now? Can I? I'm gonna hit some walls
Thought you'd appreciate this thoughtful video my daughter created in response to her experience with Alzheimers and the death of her Nonna. ruclips.net/video/0bwBq3Th26M/видео.html
When Coco came out, I wasn't too keen on watching a lot of the newer Disney stuff, but when I watched it the first time, I appreciated that part in the movie where Coco's memories are restored, and I really like learning about the science behind stuff like this.
To be honest, I'm still probably gonna like a lot of 80's rock and modern pop stuff since my dad and I have been listening to classic rock ever since I was little, and my mom and I both really like modern pop.
Yeah, I didn’t watch it when it came out either
But then I went to my friends house and she was like “you haven’t watched it? We gotta watch it”
And then after my mum picked me up, I’m like, “hey wanna watch this really cool movie I just watched” lol
Twice in one day
There was a nursing home across the street from the church I went to growing up. Once a month our pastor would hold a church service in the nursing home. Some of the patients didn't remember their own names but knew every word to those old hymns.
That movie broke my heart. That song broke my heart. I hope that there are other people out there, with family members suffering from dementia, who could find as much comfort in Coco as I did
You really do sound like Dipper Pines when you whisper, not just when you are sick.
Tomas Roque
Oh shit!
I fell for that stupid fly illusion again!
Well played
Paranoid Cat Again? Well, at least your name complements your comment.
The fly gets me every time
alexis figueroa Thanks, that's the pints
The rest of the time, he sounds like grown-up Dipper Pines.
I was going to skip this movie and wait for the Incredibles but okay.... I guess I gotta watch it now. Sideway's impact.
lazayl it’s REALLY good
I JUST WATCHED IT!!! AND YES, IT'S AMAZING! tho this video kinda spoiled it a bit, I'm glad I watched it before watching the movie bc it made that final scene more special.
the irony is that coco ended up being so much better than Incredible 2
We've been knocked over sideways lol
Funnily enough I saw both those back to back at a drive-in theater, and coco was the better one by far
I studied music therapy in school and almost yelled out in the theatre “That’s music therapy!!” This is still my favorite Pixar movie
I live for new sideways videos
There was a story I heard where a dementia patient reacted in a strong positive manner to Metal music because his only Granddaughter was a huge metal fan.
The visceral, physical rage I felt when Barney showed up and started singing is impossible for me to describe, but it basically triggered my fight/flight instinct and I wanted to leap through my laptop screen and throttle him
I have very eclectic music taste (which makes it difficult for me to define my tastes when asked). I wonder if that has to do with the fact that I have always loved musicals and soundtracks, even as a teenager, which are very eclectic in their music because it has to match the story.
Ghost quartet
Lol yeah, my music tastes are…
Musicals, video game soundtracks, christian music, lofi music, etc
So many things, but not really ‘normal’ songs or popular songs lol
The old guy has it right with Cab Calloway, that guy was amazing.
As a nurse who works with dementia patients I cannot stress enough the power music has with them. It's mind blowing.
I remember when I visited my grandmother and we watched Mary Poppins together. She couldn’t really talk well, but she sang along to “Let’s Go Fly a Kite” and it is something I’ll never forget.
We sang at an assisted living facility and a man who hadn't spoken coherently in 7 years starting talking about his memories about being a boy scout as a child. The caretakers were amazed.
THIS MOVIE IS SO FUUUUCCCKIINNG GOOOD AND EMOTIONAL
Thought you'd appreciate this thoughtful video my daughter created in response to her experience with Alzheimers and the death of her Nonna. ruclips.net/video/0bwBq3Th26M/видео.html
my step grandmother's mom has dementia and barely remembers who anyone is but can still play piano like she's in her 20s, it's incredible and sad
I’m a medical student focused in neurology, and I’m so happy that you made a video about this. I’ve loved your content thoroughly, and more people need to be made aware of the power music can have on the brain. Thank you :)
Bro this channel is so underrated. We get to learn music therapy/ music in relation to story/ music production/ music in culture/ and music theory.
As someone who knows very little about music and why we love it and listen to it so much, this channel just has such a great way of explaining it so it makes sense. I love this channel!! Don’t stop what you’re doing! 👏🏻👏🏻
the fact that it took me less than 5 seconds to start crying at that song isn't something i should be proud of tbh.
And also that scene made me bawl like a toddler.
Also because it is short term memory that goes first. Newer memories get erased first and older memories stay, that is another reason the scene works, because often times childhood memories are the easiest to remember. It is also why often dementia patients are given a baby doll. It relaxes them. As they would remember their children younger rather than older.
I wanna thank you for posting this video! My great grandma also has dementia and its really bad. Today she had an episode that caused her to hit me. It hurts to know that the person you care for isnt there anymore but this really made me feel better about her whole situation. Even tho thats not really what this video is about the fact that the woman who loves me is still there! Thank you❤️❤️❤️
Kittn Bravo it is very hard. we went through similar things with my grandpa. They're there, even if it's hard for them or us to see it. And it hurts. I'm sending lots of love and hugs. I hope you and yours can find strength and peace
Coco never fails makes me sob. Easily one of the best Pixar movies ever made.
Can you make a video explaining why we find music in movies much more enjoyable than if we were to just listen to the song normally? Or is that even explainable? 🤔 I don't know, just makes me wonder
This is just my two cents about that: Movies have an added emotional connection through watching the characters. In movies, you are connected to the story already, so when the song plays, there is more emotion behind it because you have the context of the movie plot to strengthen that emotional connection.
Your not alone buddy
Thats also why product placement in movies is a thing. If you get a brand/logo/product presented to you while under the positive stimulus of a movie, you‘re more likely to remember that thing fondly because your brain ties the brand/logo/product to the emotional response you are having. Pretty insidious actually.
I think it's because a movie adds greater meaning to the music via characters and storylines that we relate to, which makes the music's impact on us more powerful.
@mono flax, although it can backfire spectacularly. i did start hating mcdonald's and coca cola after watching "mac and me" as a kid
Thsi type of therapy is beautiful, the video of the old lady with dimenisa dancing to a song in swan lake because she was a ballerina and she still remembers the dance with her emotion .
(Starts crying uncontrollably)
I love the range of your channel, it seems like there's nothing that you can't talk about through a musical lens
From a couple years now, my Grandma has been taking care of my great-grandmother, a 93 year old lady with an undefined massive memory loss, that we don't know for sure if it is dementia or alzheimer. Although, it's really, really fascinating how, when her litlle collection of music is playing (she had some vinyl discs and casettes that we digitalized), she lights up and starts talking about her young years, her firsts friends and some romances. It is something really, really beautiful. When i watched Coco, that scene really touched me, at the point i teared up in the theater alongside my best friend, and until this point i did'nt knew why.
i just discovered this channel and started liking the videos, but this one touched me personally. Thank you
2:00 genuinely made me tear up.
this movie makes me sob every time and im mexican so it just adds on to that bahaha. thanks for covering coco!! maybe you should do another video about it!
pauses at 4:05 welp , glad to know my life as a boy is officially fucking tarnished and over
*seconds later* "see this part of your brain?........until your 25 years old"
_biggest sigh of relief and hope for myself i had in 5 years , thanks Sideways_
Thank you so much for posting this! I didn't realize how much I need to see this film.
I’m 4 years late, but oh, well. I don’t care.
My grandmother had dementia and for the last few years of her life wasn’t herself. It was so hard to watch her literally fade away. The times when she was most like herself was when we played hymns for her. Coco is so emotional to watch now that she’s gone 💗
7:15 I skipped forward 5 seconds at the perfect time and somehow got the phrase:
"The whole idea of Neuroplasticity is broke - don't fix it."
i thought this was a music channel. whoa you did your research bro. Mad Respects I love this vid.
I cried for about 90% of this movie. God, i miss my grandma
I used to listen to classical music all the time when I was really little, although I wasn't aware of it. I loved watching those tapes where they put footage of animals to classical, but I was more interested in the animals than the music. Later on, I became a very dedicated classical fan, and was surprised to remember pieces that were in those tapes despite the fact that I didn't think I really "listened" to them. For example, the Largo theme from Dvorak's New World and the first movement of Smetana's Moldau were in those tapes, but I was instantly able to recognize the piece, even though I hadn't heard them in years. And earlier this year, a complex set of associations with Tchaikovsky's first piano concerto (both good and bad) cemented the piece as my go-to coping mechanism whenever things go wrong.
I'm terrified of dementia (it runs in my family), so I do my best to do things to keep my brain active, like learning instruments, reading, writing, making art, and learning foreign languages. I don't know if I'll keep up that fervor for the rest of my life, but I'm hoping that desire to learn stays with me. Nonetheless, I'm pretty certain if I'm old and my brain is deteriorating, if someone plays Piano Concerto No. 1 in B flat minor for me, I'll instantly be able to recognize it.
I listen to classical music nowadays. I was also subject to it when I was younger. The surprising piece for which this happened to me was the opening of Schumann’s Kinderszenen. That’s ironic, considering that Kinderszenen is usually translated as “Scenes from Childhood.” I was somehow able to remember the opening more than Traumerei because the opening is simpler and rhythmically repetitive.
So i go to top chart of the , played ones i remember hearing constantly and got so! many! chills!
My grandfather had Parkinson's or something similar. He was a very smart man, so to see him lose the ability to speak hurt so much. He was wise and loving, and near the end, it was very difficult to know if he was understanding something or not. The last time i saw him alive, i knew he was dying soon, so not knowing what to say to him, i decided not to think about it and show him one of the key chains i had on my lanyard.
A blue pacman ghost bottle opener. He was always interested in gadgets and tools, so i thought he'd like to see it. When he saw it, he laughed with a smile. That was the last time i saw him (and the most expressive I'd seen him in a long time) but that goofy gadget made him laugh, and I'll always fondly remember that he still loved the things he enjoyed years ago.
This video brought that memory back. Love you grandpa ❤
Omg I loved this video!
Thought you'd appreciate this thoughtful video my daughter created in response to her experience with Alzheimers and the death of her Nonna. ruclips.net/video/0bwBq3Th26M/видео.html
And here I am, crying about that movie again, and that song. God, it's so beautiful, and I love the message, that we shouldn't forget the people who aren't around anymore.
Every time I hear “remember me” I bawl my eyes out. I even felt tears spring to my eyes when I heard that short clip. F*cking Pixar man
This movie got me so emotional. I lost a member of my family a few years ago, she died from Alzheimer's disease. I do remember her but my brain seems to somehow have blocked most of my memories related to her, probably because I never really got the chance to mourn her. What I do know is that I used to draw when I was visiting her, and everytime I showed her what I just drawn she seemed to wake up from any kind of dream she was having.
Art is our most powerful healing tool.
Shoot ive got to watch coco
This video makes the ending of a Coco even sadder, I cried during this video
I have a great-aunt who's over 80 years old and has dementia. Overall, her life is exactly like Coco's; she doesn't remember names, can't really hold a conversation or read anymore, the whole thing - she isn't in a wheelchair, but can't really do much except for laying down and sitting up... Imagine the entire family's surprise when in a party one day we played Sinatra (incidentally, the song she used to dance with her husband when she was very young), and not only could she hum along - she sat up and swayed/danced the whole thing, including little hand gestures in the spots where the band stops/wells up
The power of music, man... it's the most wonderful thing
I balled my eyes out during the scene and I‘m crying right now
I’m sorry he’s being serious about dementia but puts in 2:41 and I just lose it
Thought you'd appreciate this thoughtful video my daughter created in response to her experience with Alzheimers and the death of her Nonna. ruclips.net/video/0bwBq3Th26M/видео.html
You beautifully explained how music can access and create strong emotional memories!! I'm currently a grad student in music therapy working with older adults with Dementia. Coco's reaction to Miguel playing her father's song mirrors what happens in the older adults I see exactly. This entire movie was wonderful, but that scene in particular had me sobbing because of Coco's reaction and how the music activated deeply encoded memories that were not activated by other stimuli. What was even better was how you explained how those highly emotional memories form at a young age through Miguel. I love your videos and this has definitely become one of my favorites. Thank you for taking the time to research and explain music therapy and the music in this movie so well.
Funny enough, I completely change my music taste around the age of 17/18. I completely abandonded the type of music I listened to before.
Same with me, but not abandon intentionally, I just found things I liked SO much more than what I had previously very much enjoyed.
@@guidetoanything from what I've heard, the average age when peoples music tastes stop being influenced greatly is around 19. I discovered my current favorite genre at 18
@@elliotschonwetter3574 That would make sense! While I still always enjoy finding new music to love as an adult, my favorite genre and band are the same as they have been since I was about 19. I wouldn't say my tastes have changed very much since then, although I have added more styles to enjoy into my "repertoire".
0:30 just the starting of that made me cry i can literally watch it once and cry.

Admire your work
I like how you click his videos to learn about something in a movie and then you have a lesson in psychology...
I'm glad I fell in love with john William's in high school
That scene is one of the few scenes that has ever made me cry in the theater, and it still gets me blurry eyed. 😭😌
0:16 finally, someone who appreciates that little detail to make the music so much real!
1:41 I knew about this science years before this movie and the joy I felt when I saw it on the screen cannot be put into words
FINALLY MADE A COCO VIDEO
I happened to stumble across the video and, god, both the video and the comments are making me tear up because y'all are telling your stories and it reminds me of why I even got into music in the first place and now I'm just both solemn and happy to see what music is capable of.
And also this shows why at high schools nowadays, nearly every teen has headphones in and use them so much during classes. It’s all coming together now
Don't touch me while I cry seeing the last duo singing of a kid and his great grandmother.
Music is stored in a different place in the brain to normal memories. Really simple way of putting it but the effect music can have on someone suffering from dementia is beautiful. The animation in this scene captured it so perfectly. Like she's waking up a little. This scene makes the movie
When the clip from coco started playing I almost cried. This movie is more emotional than the up opening
My great grandma used to call me “El Macho Del Macho” and it’s just now that I realized she forgot both me and my fathers names. She was clever
My dear grandmother passed away from dementia a few years back and seeing this film touched me in a way I cannot describe.
My uncle likes to play guitar in the house and always has. She had always loved the sound of it and there were definitely times where she "came back" so to speak.
Thank You Pixar. And thank you, Sideways, for making this video. Keep up the incredible work man.
I feel so bad for laughing when coco said "who are you"
Congrats on making me absolutely sob at the Coco scenes and only letting me stop when you broke down the science and made me learn a thing
Guess this explains why once when i was 13 I listened to Queens "good old fashioned lover boy" literally 50 times in a row (not exaggerating).
Queen? A man of culture I see
Such a good, underrated song.
I can dim the lights and sing you songs full of sad things...
I wasn't 13, but Queen _was_ the soundtrack of my later high school years. And that song is one of the best.
There's a reason that apollo is the god of both music and healing.
Then that explains my crazy music taste!! The other day I was wondering why all of my current tastes (shit like the Emo Trinity, Disparition, Glass Animals, The East Pointers, Nujabes, and Daft Punk) were so weird, but it kinda clicked when I was on a nostalgia trip listening to the Bleach soundtrack, *a series I binged as an early teenager* . Creepy ambience, rock battle themes, alternative shit way too similar to Gorillaz's self titled album, and loooots of acoustic guitar pieces. This all suddenly makes a whole lotta sense!
Same! I love Gorillaz and Coldplay, both I grew up listening to since I entered Middle school, but my brain clicked when I listened to John William and James Newton Howard scores. But most of all, Disney Park music loops, especially the old ones like Epcot 1984 (Horizons, Spaceship Earth, Communicore) and the 40s pop music you'd hear when waiting in line for Indiana Jones
CVerse Yeah! And old Disney movies do wonders for making you click with stuff like Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Tape Five, and 11 Acorn Lane! Movies and tv really help solidify music tastes in a surprisingly subtle way!
Vesta Blackclaw took a listen to Big bad Voodoo daddy, and I had no idea there are artists who still write music like this, pretty cool. And yeah, old Disney music does that. And I'm pretty sure Disney really knows about that. Whenever you're waiting somewhere in the park or even inside Disney's Magical Express, you can hear arrangements of classic Disney music made just for the bus or the park. It clicks with people even before they enter the park. Hmmm, I think Sideways should make a video on that! How Disney is able to influence people in the park with music
CVerse That would be a neat video, yeah! Wouldn't know from personal experience, but my best friend lives right by a Six Flags and the music she hears affected her greatly.
And yeah! Neo swing and big band! Even dark cabaret and electroswing. They're such fun genres, and the artists sound like they're having a BLAST. There's also a huge push for covers (Postmodern Jukebox, what they did for Bioshock Infinite, and Robin Adele Anderson) and remixes of old songs (Sim Gretina and Parov Stelar). It's such an _awesome_ genre of music.
Vesta Blackclaw sweet. I'll take a listen to them
This channel is BLOWING MY MIND!!! Thank you!
My last living grandmother is suffering from dementia, so every scene Coco was in hit close to home. Especially being called wrong names and trying to find a correct memory to bring her back and try to get her to actually recognize me. During that singing scene I've miserably bawled my eyes out, giving up my man card without hesitation.
You really made me love this movie more than I already love and I thought that was impossible. What an incredible video, really!!
Finally science doesn't ruin something!
Watched it last night after seeing this video and sobbed XD So good - thanks, Sideways!
i preffer la versión en español
Cool.
Hi Sideways! Loved Coco, loved this movie, and loved this video! Thanks for all that you do! PS I loved you and 12 Tone and 8-Bit and Adam hanging out yesterday! I hope we get a serialized version because I could listen to you all talk about music and whatever else the wind carries.
