“G : I don’t like walking around
this old an empty house..
B : So hold my hand I’ll walk
with you my dear
G : The stairs creak as a you
sleep, it’s keeping me awake..
B : It’s the house telling
you to close your eyes
G : And some days I can’t
even dress myself..
B : It’s killing me to see
you this way
B+G : Cause though the truth
may vary this, ship will carry our bodies save to shore
….”
Little
Talks – Of Monster and Men
“When you, when you forget
your name
When old faces all look the
same
Meet me in the morning when
you wake up
Meet me in the morning then
you’ll wake up
….”
Bend and
Break – Keane
These two are
my favorite songs I played recently. If you hear all the songs you will know
how beautiful they are. After hearing it for thousand times, I make an opinion
that this song is about love unconditionally, even your partner has an
alzheimer. How could I say that ? Let’s make a little bit verification PLUS my
opinion and the short studies.
First song : Little Talks-Of Monster and Men) :
‘And some days I can’t even dress myself’ I thought
it’s a kind of reduction of global function to do daily activity. This lyric
wants to tell that the person has a trouble with her/himself, even they
couldn’t do dress, which is dressing is one of the daily activities. Condition
that make this reduction, for example is they have a disease then they need
others help.
The theory
:
Alzheimer’s
(AHLZ-high-merz) is a disease of the brain that causes problems with memory,
thinking and behavior. The first problem many people notice is forgetfulness
severe enough to affect their ability to function at home or at work, or to
enjoy hobbies (alz.org). As they pass through different stages of the
disease,
individuals’ cognitive and functional abilities decline. In the final, advanced
stage of the disease, people need help with basic activities of daily living, such
as bathing, dressing, eating and using the bathroom (alz.org).
‘We used to play outside when we were young’
Alzheimer is a disease that occurs in old-age. There’s a word ‘when we were
young’ it indicates that they are old now :p
The theory
:
Alzheimer's is not a
normal part of aging,
although the greatest known risk factor is increasing age, and the majority of
people with Alzheimer's are 65 and older (alz.org). Alzheimer is a progressive
disease then it can worsen over a number of years.
‘The screams all sound the same’ the Alzheimer patients
can say the same things all the time. They couldn’t remember what they say,
then they will say it again and again.
‘Some days I feel like I’m wrong when I’m right’
This lyrics wants to say that the person is confused with everything near them.
They don’t know which is right or wrong.
The theory
:
The disease may cause a person to
become confused, get lost in familiar places, misplace things or have trouble
with language (alz.org)
Second
song : Bend and Break (Keane)
‘When you, when
you forget your name’ People with Alzheimer have memory loss even they
don’t know who are they.
The theory :
The following are
common symptoms of Alzheimer’s:
• Memory loss
that disrupts daily life.
• Challenges in
planning or solving problems.
• Difficulty
completing familiar tasks at home, at work or at leisure.
• Confusion with
time or place.
• Trouble
understanding visual images and spatial relationships.
• New problems
with words in speaking or writing.
• Misplacing
things and losing the ability to retrace steps.
• Decreased or
poor judgment.
• Withdrawal from
work or social activities.
• Changes in mood and personality, including
apathy and depression. (alz.org)
‘When old faces
all look the same’ This lyric wants to tell that they are old. Alzheimer
usually occurs in old-age. I’ve said that in previous theory :p
If you talk about Alzheimer, it can’t be
separated with dementia. What is dementia ? What is the difference between
these two ?
Here we go :
Physicians often define dementia based
on the criteria given in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM). Dementia is a general term for the loss of memory and other cognitive
abilities serious enough to interfere with daily life (alz.org). There are
several types of dementia, one of them is Alzheimer. Alzheimer is the most
common type of dementia; accounts for an estimated 60 percent to 80 percent of
cases (alz.org)
