The heartbreak of disease juxtaposed with the power of music. If you personally know someone that’s been affected by Alzheimer’s or another progressive brain disorder, then you’re familiar with the daily battles that the disease can bring. Families have no choice but to watch their loved ones struggle with memory loss and confusion as they grow older. Currently, there’s no cure for the disease that affects 7 million Americans (according to Alzheimer’s Association). One of those many millions of people that suffer from the disease is the focus of this video that’s going viral on TikTok. Lori Robinson has been sharing her journey with her father’s fight against Alzheimer’s for months, and this latest TikTok shows how the man’s musical memory has yet to be taken away by the disease. Robinson’s father can be seen in the passenger seat of a vehicle, singing along to Marty Robbins’ hit song “El Paso.” You might not recognize the name, but once it starts playing, you’ll know that you’ve heard it before. The old man knows and sings along to almost every word of the 1959 tune… which both encourages and breaks the heart of his daughter: “My precious dad. Alzheimer’s disease is crazy. He can remember every word to a song, but not what I told him a minute ago. I think he could have been a singer or actor or both.” @lori.robinson Why a cruel disease!! He can sing every word to a song but cannot remember 5 minutes ago. It breaks my heart! I love him so much!! #dad #dadsoftiktok #daddysgirl #daddy #alzheimers ♬ original sound – Lori Robinson | T2D Such a touching video. Robinson’s father has quite the singing voice, and many on social media jumped into the comments section to point that out. The video that the TikToker shared also inspired people online to share their own, similar stories… and offer words of support for Lori Robison: “When I was taking care of my husband’s grandfather, I would play Conway Twitty for him and it was like he was right back in his day.” “Music stored in a region of brain that makes recall easier. My mom could sing all the songs in ‘My Fair Lady.’ But forgot where she lived.” “He sounds beautiful. I’m sorry for the loss you suffer everyday with this horrible disease.” “Music is the best thing! He’s got a beautiful voice!” “My Dad passed 2 years ago and he LOVED this song. He had dementia and was so different at the end but still my sweet father. I miss him with all my soul. I’m sorry you are hurting.” Alzheimer’s truly is a terrible disease. It’s nice to see that social media can still be a nice, heartwarming, supportive place. Everyone loved seeing Robinson’s dad sing along to the song, and their rooting for him in his fight against the incurable illness. And as always, it’s great to see how music has the power to break through even the most degenerative of diseases. I mean… if any classic country song was good enough to stand up against Alzheimer’s, it’s this one: “El Paso” by Marty Robbins The post Viral Video Shows Old Man Suffering From Alzheimer’s Disease Still Remembering All The Words To Marty Robbins’ “El Paso” first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

The Lord works in mysterious ways. You might not know the name Drew Parker all that well, but you are definitely familiar with his work. The Grammy-nominated songwriter has penned songs like “Doin’ This,” “1,2 Many” and “Forever After All” for Luke Combs, and “Homemade” by Jake Owen. And he’s been in Nashville for over 10 years now chasing his country music dream. Now, thanks to what he’s calling a sign from God, he’s pivoting to become more of a Christian artist. If there was ever a time to make the switch, now would be a good one. Christian music has arguably never been more mainstream. Back in May, there were two Christian songs that made the Hot 100 – the first time that’s happened in over a decade. One is Forrest Frank’s viral smash “Your Way’s Better,” and the other just so happened to be the Christian-country crossover that you’ve probably heard: “Hard Fought Hallelujah” with Christian artist Brandon Lake and rapper-turned-country-singer, Jelly Roll. But that’s not why Drew Parker is exploring a country-to-Christian move. The 34-year-old artist recently sat down with Undaunted Life and talked about a wild story of God moving in his life. Parker explained that his manager, Chris Kappy, who you may also recognize as the manager of Luke Combs, was the one that gave him the message from the Lord that he was waiting for. The only strange thing? Kappy is a nonbeliever, as Parker explained: “My manager of 10 years, who also manages Luke Combs, he calls me and I have no idea what he’s calling me for. No idea in the world. He just starts going, ‘Hey man, I know this country music thing is your dream and it’s what you moved to Nashville to chase. I know that you love it so much.’ He just keeps going on like that, I’m like, ‘Kappy, what are you… just get it out dude. What are you trying to tell me?’  Let me preface this. Kappy is an nonbeliever. Me and him have had conversations. He has no problem with me talking about this. He is on a journey with the Lord right now, with God right now. He’s figuring it all out. He calls me out of the blue. He goes, ‘Man, I don’t know how to tell you this, but for the last week, I’ve been waking up in the middle of the night around 3:00 in the morning, and I cannot get you off my mind.'” Oh? Though Kappy’s relationship with God was either in its infancy or nonexistent, he felt as though he was being moved by a higher power to deliver a message to his client, Drew Parker. There was a little bit of hesitancy from Kappy, but he finally spilled the beans and told Parker what he felt like he was being led to do: “He said, ‘I don’t know what this was, and I’ve been scared to tell you this… but there’s this voice that, when I wake up in the middle of the night, there’s something telling me I’m supposed to tell you you’re supposed to sing songs about Jesus. You’re supposed to be a Christian artist.’ I go, ‘What?’ He thinks my reaction of ‘What?’ is negative. He starts walking it back like, ‘Well, I just didn’t know.’ I’m like, ‘Woah, Cappy, listen… five days ago, Sunday morning, I prayed that God would send the most undeniable sign that I’m supposed to do something different. And that I need to know exactly what it is I’m supposed to do.'” Chills. Parker went on to say that he had been praying to the Lord to send an undeniable sign that he was due for a career shift. In fact, it was that previous Sunday morning that Parker prayed for a message. His manager, Chris Kappy, says that he started waking up in the middle of the night on that exact day that Parker started praying. Drew Parker explained it all perfectly with this one sentence: “It doesn’t get more undeniable than that.” View this post on Instagram Drew’s latest single is titled “Blame Jesus.” Give it a listen: The post Country Artist, Drew Parker, Tells Unbelievable Story Of How God Woke Up His Manager At 3AM With A Message: “You’re Supposed To Sing Songs About Jesus” first appeared on Whiskey Riff.
