Episode 3: Making 'Just Love Me' - a song about living with dementia
Episode 3
Sunday, 7 September, 2025
This is a podcast about music and dementia, and specifically it is about making an album of music raising awareness and funds for dementia research. In this episode I talk about a song I nervously wrote about the dementia lived experience. I say nervously because although I cared for two close relatives with dementia, I've never actually lived it. In this podcast I share what I've learned and and how I tried to turn that into a song, sung from the point of view of someone with dementia. I also cover the important progress being made in research, and the fact that we are close to finding the cure. Nevertheless dementia remains one of the biggest causes of death in the UK today. The album, The Gift, is released on all platforms on 10th October 2025. The first track 'Maybe I'm gay' by F Monday, is out now.
