Dark Piano - Dementia

I am not the artist of the artwork

It's like they're always walking through fog.

The piece gets more unstable as it goes on. Towards the end it begins to lose itself. I wanted it to reflect the broken mind of a sufferer of dementia, I also wanted it to sound like I had forgotten how to play it as it went on. By the end its as if I can't remember how the piece goes anymore as it loses structure, timing and tonality.
Hope you enjoy!! =D

Does the song sound incomplete to anyone, like the song stopped where it shouldn't have and ended without truly being complete. If that's the case I truly believe the last notes are the most impactful. The song ends just as incomplete as the person suffering from Dementia, wallowing away slowly and tremulously until everything ends, and you can't help wishing there had been more for you to enjoy, more for you to remember...

So, the wolf is dementia afflicting grandma, and now threatens to hereditarily afflict Red Riding hood. Well, I will have nightmares tonight.

The dark echoing silence upon the lonely hill makes thy heart tremble to the musical chords of a beautifully demented king.

As nurse ive worked with many sufferers of Dementia, and this song describes how it feels to watch them as the illness progresses.

You summed it up perfectly in the description.

Its as if by the end, you dont even know how the song goes. As if it has all slipped away. The hints of anger, and despair show how they feel, when they realize that something they once could do with ease, is now beyond their ability.

I am a simple woman

I see Lucas king

I click

[fionaelisabethjohnston]

His pieces are the reasons I go on YouTube and don't care if my parents shout at me to get off of my phone. I just listen to these masterpieces on loop, Lucas King is worth being suscribed to.

My grandma had dementia. She couldn't remember a lot of things and it was really sad seeing her declining, however during al this time she stayed positive and made jokes and laughed. I loved her so much. I almost took her for granted and now she's gone. Rest in peace <3

[sherlockwatson]

Ive worked in dementia wards before, and honest to God, this is perfect. It is so heartbreaking watching them suffer like that, and this music describes it so beautifully. Thank you for making such gorgeous songs.

[blitzkrieg]

Damn, whoever made that artwork definitely knows what they are doing, and this music just makes it better.

I found this song months ago. Recently, my grandfather was diagnosed with first dementia and then Alzheimer’s dementia. He’s barely 73 and today was the first day he couldn’t remember who I was. He raised me from birth. It’s always so baffling to me that the people who are the kindest, who seemingly did everything right, are the ones punished the most unfairly. He was so healthy. He took walks everyday, worked on his lawn as his pride and joy, loved to go out into town and watch cartoons and old western movies, while always being so kind and happy. His disease has made him into a different person. He is constantly angry and spiteful, but never toward me. Even when he can’t remember I can still see in his eyes that he wants to. It just isn’t there. It does hurt my heart indeed that my relationship with my grandmother and uncle is very strained. For a year, they kept me from him as his disease progressed, out of a silly argument he and I had, which I now know was resulted from his progressing disease and his confusion. They called me abusive, despite not knowing what happened, which is now a joke, considering that his own wife constantly puts him down and bullies him about his fading memory. It’s so heartbreaking to watch someone you love fall like that and be so powerless to stop it. I was his world, and now it seems that the people in control of him will ensure that everything he ever was or had will all go to them and I will have nothing left. I can only pray in another world I’ll see him happy again.

This piece really hits home. My family has a history of dementia and I watched my grandma slowly die from it while we could do nothing but hold her hand and smile. It’s a scary disease and to know there’s nothing you can do is heartbreaking

Dementia is a curse that tears away at your mind bit by bit until you are no longer able to grasp those memories that you hold so dearly anymore.

I was listening to you for the past 2 hours cooking and cleaning up breakfast. Then I hop on my computer and happy birthday to me, another of your masterpieces has been uploaded. Thank you so much for all you do.

[rogat]

You really nailed the last moments of brief consciousness, where there is a feint reminder of the melody that once was until it's interrupted for the last time and then finally silence.

[potatoswillrisethebigopota]

You know what's sad about this peice, it's the hope. In most songs made by Lucas, they're very desolate and empty. They rarely carry any type of happiness nor spark. But this one you can hear it, especially in the beginning. A sad but hopeful tune that at times gets distorted. I'm probably thinking about too much like one of those reading teachers- but that's the emotion that's conveyed to me.

[blackmoldsun]

My grandmother, who was arguably one of the closest friends I ever had, suffered from Dementia.
This damn piece hits so close to home that I can't even listen past the halfway point. It's like I'm 11 again, sitting in front of her, terrified that she'll forget who I am.

I am so happy i stumbled over this channel just a few weeks ago, I cant find a bad song you've made yet man, amazing

[mikeymilynn]

I wanted to see the wolf part of the illustration really quick, and I clicked at the perfect time: 6:28
The "BWAM" made it so much more terrifying.
