    When I journal I have a song for the day, I describe a texture, smell or feeling I had in the most important moment of the day so when I read back I can have more context

    Damn this one hits home. Watching my grandma have her mind destroyed by dementia is breaking me. It’s crazy how she can remember random small details from the past, but can’t remember what she just said. She’s listened to Swiss yodeling bands for decades so I’m definitely going to try and see it that music will trigger different memories for her. Thanks Jake!

    Every year since 2017, I’ve been making a playlist of all the songs I play on repeat throughout the year. Every time I go back to those songs, a hundred memories and emotions associated with those songs come flooding back. And if I feel good in a moment, I’ll put on a song to capture that feeling forever. It’s incredible what music can do 🖤

    As one who struggles with memory issues due to my military service, this gives me a spark of an idea anyway in how to document my life. I've worked with people with dementia as a CNA in a nursing home and it is not a fun journey for these people. I've found that journaling helps a lot in remembering a little, if nothing else how irrational I was in my thinking when struggling with my mental health. Journaling when upset or angry really helps also, as it gets my feelings out so I don't pop a gasket. I can make it into a long prayer and it really helps.

    Love the shots in this video! I'm only 20 right now but I've noticed I am already forgetting things that I did when I was like 4-10 years old and around that time I took pride in being able to remember pretty much everything. So, finding new ways to remember my life and experiences has become very important to value the little things and value things that once made me happy but I had just forgotten.

    I have been doing something similar for more than three years, I’ve been creating a playlist in my phone for each month of each year and added the songs that I discovered that month and mostly listened at that time. Totally worth it, now I can remember what I used to listen back in 2019 and what you said, the feelings and experiences I had and why I listened those songs at that time, I totally recommend this.

  • @OregonRose2010

    I use Day One Journal for writing down my life and the day-to-day minutiae, and have done so for nearly a decade now! I love watching videos like this because it gives me new ways to think about how to capture my life as I live it, and how to remember people, places, feelings, and so on from days long gone. It offers me the ability to really dig into my memory and think about what more I could add to the contextual narratives of my lives as I've lived them.
    Thank you for this wonderful creation, and may your memories continue to flourish and subsist how you wish them to.

    I have said this before, I am in my 50s and I certainly have learned a lot more than just photography from you- I too also take many pictures of my family and myself and spend most of my income in creating memories.- Why? well, When I am on my death bed I don't want to remember or think about the things I purchased or acquired. I want to be thinking of all the moments and memories and events with my family and friends while listening to music.

    Gah - this is so powerful, man. My wife is always amazed at how I can know the year that a song came out (*explicit* memory) even from 15, 20, 25 years ago. I just know how I felt during that period of my life (*implicit* memory), so that makes it really easy. And it's fun to sit back and let those feelings wash over me for a minute... But I'd never really consciously thought of that link between the two. Thanks for making it all make more sense... though you've now rubbed off the shine of my magic ability to know song release dates! 🤣

    Man, I'm so glad I found your channel. Especially this video, the tie between music and memory rings so true for me as well. Some of my strongest memories involve jamming with friends as kids. The album I listened to on my train ride through the Italian countryside. An album I used to spam with a close buddy who we lost recently has been the sharpest reminder of him. You have a lot of profound ideas and a gift for putting them into video form.

    Another powerful and inspiring video from Jake. This is so cool to find someone else with a song journal. I have been keeping a list of songs and memories associated with them since I started university because I wanted to make sure I remembered all of my time at college. Combine that with the thousands of photos and videos, I can go back to amazing times. I would definitely recommend anyone to make a song journal. Again, great video Jake!

  • @smokinggurb6884
    @smokinggurb6884 2 роки тому +1

    Thankyou for making this video , I been thinking a lot lately on how to feel more present in the now. It is so easy for us artists that we always want to see and experience the next biggest thing so we tend to forget what it is like to just live in the moment. What really helps for me though is to write down the things that made my day even if it is the smallest little bit of information. Thankyou for your videos

  • @AlexAndMars
    @AlexAndMars 2 роки тому

    Great video Jake! You always provide something for us to think about. Documenting our journey through UA-cam is a great way to ensure as much of those memories are captured. I think rewatching my own videos from the past leads me to think more about how I felt during that time and less about what I said or did. And yes, music is a great way to make that connection. The doc sounds interesting so thanks for the recommendation. Cheers! 🍻

  • @vishwajitsingh8021
    @vishwajitsingh8021 2 роки тому

    Will definitely make a song journal, you are absolutely spot on about the memory connected with song thing , although not all of those songs memories are much important, but rather than having them fade away in mind , why not just save it because it might not be important now but some day it'll be beautiful to just got through those

    Funnily enough, I've collected a spotify playlist for years, conviniently called "memories". But yea, that is so true with music. I met someone once who was not able to speak or communicate in any way at all anymore, completely "out from this world", but when you'd put a guitar on her hands, she would play multiple songs perfectly, and those were not even the easiest songs there are. It was just incredible.

    @AdaptingSight 2 роки тому +3

    Great points! After I went through my vision loss, I found that my memory has definitely improved since I think memory is a muscle and it takes lots of effort to flex at times, but when we do it definitely grows. My auditorial memory has definitely grown, but I have also gotten into using cameras since my vision loss which has been a powerful way to clearly capture things in person that I can look at on my computer later to enhance my visual memory through photo and video.

  • @AmmonCluff
    @AmmonCluff 2 роки тому

    This video hits different. I can relate to the way a certain song lights up a memory from a specific time of your life. I have an entire Spotify playlist called “nostalgia” and it’s all old songs from high school that aren’t even good but I listened to them on repeat back then & it literally feels like a time portal if I ever want to experience those memories & emotions again

  • @melaniegriesemer

    This is by far the most emotional paid promotion video I have ever seen. The way you told this was spot on, and I was actually watching another UA-cam video of a girl singing ‘you are my sunshine’ with her baby brother who has Down syndrome, and got me crying somehow, thinking that music/song has the power to spark joy and speaks to one’s emotions.

Never was the diary person, but I do write when I feel a rush of emotions, and rereading those journal entries also help relive moments :)

    You are wise beyond your years my friend! The 80's were rough on me but there was one song that helped me through it. "Power and the Passion" by Midnight Oil.

Absolutely love your work and your ability to tell a meaningful and powerful story!

My family (I am more than a decade older than you) are also plagued with dementia and Alzheimer's. I highly recommend looking up 'The Caretaker - Everywhere at the end of time'. A very powerful album (5 actually) that portrays the journey of someone going through the stages of dementia. Very very powerful.

First of all, I love the video, the message is on point, you're inspiring as always and this is definitely something that I struggle with, so it really resonated with me... but why is no one talking about the amazing rick roll that you snuck in there?! It just made an already awesome video that much better; well done!!!
