Here's what it's like when you have to fake like you're listening to your friend's bad mixtape. The taste in music of people who browse Youtube is a bit questionable, to say the least. The radio doesn't hit the same way that your playlists do. This is what it's like when the song hits you right in the soul. We've all had a moment (or several) where the music took us down and out but in the right way. I'm glad I don't need to fall asleep to music because I can imagine how annoying this would be. Sometimes the music is so good that you have to cry to yourself calmly. This one isn't crying per see, but the lack of emotion is almost as strong as a cry here. This one hurts, but we've all been here in one way or another.Among them is Owen Amble, 16, from Spokane, Wash.
He was drawn to “Everywhere at the End of Time” because his grandfather was recently diagnosed with dementia. “I want him to be OK, and I just wanted to know, like, what was going on,” he said in a phone interview. 17, Owen posted a TikTok about how the album had reduced him to tears. “Literally the definition of pain,” he wrote in the caption. “Never cried listening to something.” His video has been viewed more than 340,000 times. “It made me feel like I was so sad, but I was also like, so happy, because it truly made me appreciate this part of my life so much more,” he said of the album. “I’m still a kid, I don’t have a lot of these responsibilities. But to think that one day, everything I’ve ever done can just disappear, because of my memory. It’s so horrifying.” He said the album helped him understand his grandfather’s illness.
“It’s a much welcome thing, because it produces the empathy that’s needed.” “The composer of this music really was onto something in terms of being able to - through the medium of music - lead a younger generation on a journey through the sounds of what the brain is going through, through a dementing process,” said Brian Browne, the president of Dementia Care Education, which trains people who work with dementia patients. “It doesn’t surprise me at all that he felt wiped,” said Nina Kraus, a professor at Northwestern University who researches the effects of sound on the brain. “Whether that actually causes brain damage that you can measure, I don’t think so.” She said only an activity sustained over a long period of time, like learning a musical instrument, could have such dramatic effects. “Our nervous system doesn’t change moment to moment in any real fundamental way,” she said. The Caretaker challenge sits at the nexus of two viral vectors on TikTok: nostalgia and fear.
