The clip show how music can effect a person and reach its inner soul. This old guy at the nursing home who is quite unresponsive comes alive when hearing music from his youth.

It is one of life's great mysteries how combinations of sounds and tones and rhythms can, all by themselves, elicit such a strong emotional and cognitive reaction in the human mind. When you think of it completely objectively, it really is amazing.

I remember there was a famous singer, when I was a kid, who had a really bad stutter when he spoke but could sing without stuttering at all. I think he was a country singer.

I agree. I don't know if you all ever felt depression or not (hopefully never), but music can be used to lessen its effect to great degree. I use it all the time when feeling low. Pop music from 60s and 70's seem to work best.
