The power of music is such that it can stay with us, even as other memories fall away, and this video, taken by Nick Harvey of his father Paul, is a perfect example of that.

Paul, who suffers from dementia, gives a note-perfect rendition of a song he wrote in the 1980s while working as a music teacher in East Grinstead. The song, called “Where’s the Sunshine?”, was written for a school production.

Nick’s video received an incredible reaction online. “I have popped over to see dad,” tweeted Nick. “He is incredibly touched by everyone’s response and would like me to thank you all on his behalf.” Credit: Nick Harvey via Storyful
