Don’t ever doubt the power of music.  This video is a testament to how the art can figuratively bring someone back to life.  This elderly man could barely communicate, living depressed in a Nursing Home with his head constantly down.  The man is given an iPod playing music from his era, and his responses are vibrant and full of life.  He even starts to sing at one point, and his voice is pretty good.  Check out the video and see the magic for yourself.  This old man got on the hype.
