1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,680
Speaker 1: Gold it's Jonesy demand to driving you home. You know,

2
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:04,920
Speaker 1: I must say with the piano last night to what

3
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: you do that show? And you are so good at it,

4
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 1: But you're going through your own troubles.

5
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,480
Speaker 2: Not troubles, I get what is troubles?

6
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 1: What's the way of saying it in your own life

7
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,159
Speaker 1: with your husband, Harley. It must be hard for you

8
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 1: to see these things being played out and you're living

9
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:21,639
Speaker 1: it at the same time.

10
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:25,240
Speaker 3: Yes, but part of that is aren't we all? This

11
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 3: is what this show does. It shows you that you

12
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 3: scratch the surface and everybody has a story. So one

13
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 3: of the people who performed on the show last night

14
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 3: is Aaron Mortimer, and here she's talking about her dad.

15
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 3: Tell me about your dad.

16
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,160
Speaker 4: My dad is a former rugby league player.

17
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 3: His name is Steve Mortimer.

18
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 4: He is currently living with a form of dementia brought

19
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:53,200
Speaker 4: on through repetitive head trauma with rugby league. The hardest

20
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 4: part about loving someone with dementia is just seeing someone

21
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 4: that was just superhero to you and to see that

22
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 4: slowly get taken away from you bit by bit, and

23
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 4: to see them end up in such a vulnerable state,

24
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 4: and and him being in a room now, which isn't home.

25
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:22,199
Speaker 2: That's hard.

26
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 3: So she's written a beautiful song for him, called Lullaby

27
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 3: for the Old Man.

28
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 5: So I sing a lullaby for the old man, the

29
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 5: one no one else can. He lifted up, the rest,

30
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 5: never pounded on his chest, body loved.

31
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 2: Would have been so hard for it to do that,

32
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 2: Oh so hard.

33
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 3: And also standing alongside me holding hands, was her mum, Karen,

34
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 3: you read.

35
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 6: About grief is definitely the long goodbye. But I think

36
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 6: for me, I know he's still there inside and his

37
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 6: soul is still very active, so still be hugged.

38
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 3: Ye, what a spectacular song.

39
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 4: Thank you.

40
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 2: How are you feeling?

41
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 3: I feel proud. How do you think your dad would

42
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 3: have felt?

43
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 4: Oh, smiling, maybe swaying a little and singing if he was.

44
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 3: Yes, he loved music.

45
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 2: He's always loved music.

46
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, please, thank and Karen, thank you. It's a lot

47
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 3: about that story that resonates with me.

48
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 2: But that's for another time.

49
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 3: I know who. He doesn't have dementia, but I appreciate

50
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 3: the nature of the slow grief, the slow losing of

51
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 3: somebody anyway. Erin was selected by Andrea Lamb and Guy

52
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 3: Sebastian last night to perform in a concert at the end,

53
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 3: and you'll just have to see that when they put

54
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 3: all the imagery together. You were at the concert, BRender,

55
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 3: and we recorded it.

56
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 2: Just you're doing such a great job.

57
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 3: Well here it is. You know, as I said, this

58
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 3: is the word sonder that I go on about the

59
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 3: gradual realization that everybody is living a complex life. They

60
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 3: absolutely are. And so if you want to go back,

61
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:12,840
