This is quite a touching story. I needed several Kleenex.

Henry, what does music do to you?
It gives me the feeling of love, romanceI figure right now the world needs to come into music, singing
You've got beautiful music here
Beautiful, lovely
I feel band of love, of dreams
The Lord came to me and made me holy
I'm a holy man
So he gave me these sounds.
For a guy who has been practically comatose for ten years and to see and hear him talking so fast and so eloquently about his love for music is so amazing. And he had good taste in music.

That was very touching.
I just watched The Music Never Stopped on netflix.
Its from one of the Oliver Stack stories about a man with a brain tumor who only comes alive with the music from the sixties.

Sacks says something like music brings people back into themselves, or they remember themselves, their personhood.... Very moving clip.
