However, the trend suggests that music selections are more easily encoded in memory and then retrieved on request, than that of pictures. The mean number of pictures in the Westmead PTA scale recalled was 0.84 and the mean number of music selections recalled was 1.22 but this difference was not significant (p =.7). Results indicate that music significantly reduced agitation (p <.0001) and enhanced orientation (p <.001) however, the difference between live and taped music was not significant (p =.7).

Participants' memory for the music used was also tested and compared with their memory for pictorial material presented in the Westmead PTA Scale. Pre and posttesting was conducted for each condition using the Agitated Behavior Scale (Corrigan, 1989) and the Westmead PTA Scale (Shores, Marosszeky, Sandanam, Batchelor, 1986). Songs used in the live and taped music conditions were identical and were selected based on participants' own preferred music. Participants (N = 22) were exposed to all 3 conditions, twice over 6 consecutive days. You want to see people happy to be in the moment listening to that music.This study compared the effects of live, taped, and no music, on agitation and orientation levels of people experiencing posttraumatic amnesia (PTA). If you’re playing it live, and you see someone out there who’s really feeling these lyrics, it really does make us be like, oh, okay, we get why we play this song. I think just because it can be such a personal song to someone. It’s just an acoustic guitar, and these beautiful lyrics and this beautiful concept.Īnd, it’s funny, because we’ll still play it live, and even though we probably should get bored of it, we don’t.

I think for us, it felt like that kind of song where it was just almost impossible to go out of style. When we were making that original demo, we were thinking that this wasn’t just a normal song, you know? This is a song that you could put on in 10 years, and still listen to it, and feel that same emotion. We were thinking that every band has to have that song that you can pick up on an acoustic guitar, and that’s the riff that you play. On a 2021 interview with Notion Magazine, the band’s guitarist, Michael Clifford, explained: And I think the song has so much meaning, and it’s one of those songs that’s really heartfelt on the album. We heard it and we were like, “Yeah, it’s okay, it’s not that bad.” And I think like a month later we listened to it again and we were like, “Holy crap, this song’s incredible.”Īshton: I absolutely love it, especially when we play it live, like I just get to sit behind the drums ‘cause there’s not many drums in this song, it’s mostly acoustic. Michael: The first time in Montreal in this weird little hotel room and we were having a Nerf gun war at the time, so I don’t think we listened too much to it. Michael: They said that they were like saving it for the special people.Ĭalum: Do you guys remember the first time we heard it in Montreal? Luke: …they said they had this song, they wrote it a while ago and couldn’t find anyone that it suited.

This was one of the only tracks that we haven’t written on our album.Īshton: I think it’s a standout for us because we have such a good relationship with The Madden Brothers and it was incredible to write with them in the past.

I remember the day you told me you were leaving I remember the make-up running down your face And the dreams you left behind, you didn't need them Like every single wish we ever made I wish that I could wake up with amnesia And forget about the stupid little things Like the way it felt to fall asleep next to you And the memories I never can escape 'Cause I'm not fine at all The pictures that you sent me, they're still living in my phone I'll admit I like to see them, I'll admit I feel alone And all my friends keep asking why I'm not around It hurts to know you're happy, yeah, it hurts that you moved on It's hard to hear your name when I haven't seen you in so long It's like we never happened, was it just a lie? If what we had was real, how could you be fine? 'Cause I'm not fine at all I remember the day you told me you were leaving I remember the make-up running down your face And the dreams you left behind you didn't need them Like every single wish we ever made I wish that I could wake up with amnesia And forget about the stupid little things Like the way it felt to fall asleep next to you And the memories I never can escapeĪshton: This track on the album is called “Amnesia” and we wrote it, well we didn’t actually write this one.
