Ryan Nealon - Tell You About Her (Official Audio)

[@ryanealon]

Friends! I'm currently working on a lyric video for "Tell You About Her" and I wanted to create a collage of loved ones that lost their lives due to Dementia, Alzheimers, or a memory-loss based illness. If you would like to have your loved one featured in the video please email [e-mail] ❤

[@Lizapeac3]

I tried sending pic it wouldn't go through.

[@brittanywilson8913]

I'm just seeing this comment, is it too late to add my grandmother to the video?! 🥺

[@ryanealon]

@@brittanywilson8913 Not at all!

[@ryanealon]

you can also DM it to me on Instagram at @ryanealon :)@@Lizapeac3

[@JerriDangerfield]

Emailed you with pictures of my Daddy and grandmother.

[@ceceliavarnum5214]

I'm a music therapist in hospice and work with a lot of patients with dementia and their families. I'd love to use this in sessions to support family members as they explore those complex emotions of grieving the loss of someone who's sitting right beside you. Beautiful lyrics. Thank you for your work

[@Jindorek]

You cut me deep. 10 seconds in and I'm ugly crying. My mom has dementia and it is truly heartwrenching seeing her be confused every day. No one deserves this. Thank you for putting this out in the world, despite how much it hurts to hear.

[@Jindorek]

My Mom passed on the 3rd of June. I come here now just to remember her and to thank you again for this beautiful song.

[@ryanealon]

It's finally here ❤

[@Sp00k83]

This is an awesome song bro!! My Nanna had Alzheimers, your words in the verses hit hard, exactly how I thought and felt. Miss her so much 😔

[@SeleneVelez824]

Beautiful song my grandma passed from cancer and forgot us 😢 can you write a song about cancer my bfs dad is fighting cancer for the 2nd time 😭

[@tarynmedleyakateachertazz7623]

My nana is in the exact same place and this song hits so deep and makes me miss my best friend who is stuck in bed due to her muscle memory not being able to to remember how to work And dam the world's so small to see how many people battle with the same thing as I am ❤💔😭

[@chloerudder8086]

My great grandmother died, but she went through the same thing. I relate to this song much it physically hurts. Ryan you are a beautiful artist and I hope that one day everyone knows and you can continue to cherish and share her story and yours.❤

[@brittbooth8310]

Could you post a video with the lyrics? I want to share this with my mother but she is hard of hearing and needs to read along to understand. This hits so close to home and is helping me process my own grief about watching my own grandma slip away. She and I are kindred spirits because we’re both musicians and no one ever made me feel as special and loved as she does. Out of 38 grandkids, I’m the only one who pursued music as a career like she did, so our bond is so special and every time I see her, I hope it’s not the last time that she remembers who I am to her. Thank you for a song to help me process this otherwise unspeakable sadness.

[@amyluu6402]

Wish I could have this song version in Spanish. I’d love to dedicate it to my aunt who is suffering with this as well. And we are so far away from her. This song makes me think of her.

[@mariangelsanchez10]

you cut me deep with this one.

[@Kimbop12345]

This is absolutely incredible. My grandma has Alzheimer's and she's in the phase where I'm hearing the stories on repeat. I'm grateful for her presence but its a constant sting seeing her change.

[@codythompson7292]

My dad has been telling me the same stories for 5+ years … I’m never going to stop listening but damn it hurts ❤

[@mindofmyown333]

I'm sorry that you and her are going through it. 3 of my grandparents all developed severe dementia and in a strange way I became thankful for the repeated jokes and stories. Now that 2 have passed and 1 is no longer verbal, I can still hear their voices and laughs by remembering the stories. I hope you are able to have a similar comfort on the hard days

[@angexxox]

Right on the feels. My grandma was diagnosed with alzheimer's when I was 16 and I've been taking care of her ever since. I'm 28 now and studying to be a neurologist so I can help people going through the same. Thank you for this. I will surely play this to her. Lots of love to you and your grandma💟

[@kaitlinbauer5335]

I needed to hear this today. My grandma is in the end stages of her Alzheimer’s battle and is expected to pass any time now. I was blessed to sit with her for a few hours and tell her I loved her.

[@dawnnevins4260]

Awwwww. I'm sending you so much love. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@richardjohnsergeant2049]

Came here from Instagram. Bruh. This song broke me. I lost my grandmother to cancer. 😔😔😔

[@ViragoRiver]

My MawMaw has Alzheimers. She forgot my birthday for the first time in 2020 and how to spell my name in '21, and now, I'm often "that girl"... she was a spitfire... traveled all over the US in an RV with a couple dogs, even in her seventies. She's been to many countries. She painted an incredible collection of beautiful realist paintings. She fell and broke her wrist a week ago and every time she gets injured, it advances the Alzheimer’s more quickly. Crying listening to your beautiful tribute... I understand. Loving you and your Grandma. ♡

[@RukodoSenin]

From the shorts ive seen this song hits ❤

[@imzerf2183]

Can’t describe how truly beautiful this is my man. My Nan took care of me and my sister growing up everyday after school, growing up she was our person when my mom and dad were gone. To the point where when I slept over and wanted to go home, she walked me home in a snow storm. When I got older I never seen Nan very much, one time around high school graduation she came over, but she didn’t know who she was, and was reminiscing on old memories on her mind. When she passed I pray to her all the time, I get goosebumps and I feel like she’s listening. And this song man just absolutely made my day night and tomorrow, thank you for such a beautiful song.

[@mommashark7533]

I dedicate this to my mother and grandmother. My mom passed 2013 to cancer then my grandmother (her mother) passed to a stroke in 2014. My mother lit up a room anywhere she went, and my grandma was a classy and elegant woman who did the same. Both made me into the woman i am today; and i miss them dearly. The loss of them and my grandfather (like a father to me). The light has dimmed so much without my family. But id tell everyone about her and them, cause they all were so meaningful to me in my life. I wish they couldve gotten to meet my son. But my son has a hell of family of guardians to keep him safe. 😢😢😢❤

[@rebeccalane2554]

My nan passed 27th of February this year I'd give anything to have one more convo hear her laugh one more time ❤

[@meegs35]

I've been listening to this song on repeat all morning. My grandma had alzheimer's and I never really got to know her other than when I'd sit in her room and she'd show me every picture and tell me bits and pieces of her life every day. This song brought back a ton of awesome memories, thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@mcatevenis]

oh my heart..... " I know you don't recognize her, but let me tell you about her..." just a wonderful line.. .. you made me ugly cry... and that is not easy to do....

[@debkauble]

I can’t listen to this and not cry. My dad and my sister both had dementia and this hits my heart some type of way. Thank you for this.

[@Lenabean46]

This is psinful but soothing too. Dementia is harsh and hanging on to what memories i have is all i can ask for...even my hurtful bending moments.

[@marti7376]

Tonight I dreamed of my grandpa, he passed away two years ago, he had dementia. I loved, and love, him with all my heart. Today I discover this beautiful song...I'm sobbing, I take it as a sign.

[@Lor3nashl33]

My boyfriend lost his mother to Alzheimers last NYE, and I just got back from a trip to the beach with his family on the 1 year anniversary of her passing. I can't say I know the pain of watching someone SO close to you fade away to this disease but I've watched the love of my life trying to cope with it this past year and that's painful enough. Bless you all, I pray for your healing and peace.

[@hibasiddiqui9558]

My grandma has dementia and it’s in end stages now. Somehow this song almost perfectly captures how I’ve been feeling. I never got to say goodbye to my Nani (my mom’s mom) and now the same thing is happening with my dadi(dad’s mom) and her dementia. I’ve also lost an aunt to cancer and one of my cousins (her older son) who died suddenly from a heart attack and never got to say goodbye to any of them. Thank you for choosing to share this song with the world ❤

[@Jkhh12112]

My grandma and grandpa both had Alzheimer’s. We had a strained relationship so I don’t exactly relate to this song that way. But this song gives me chills, makes me cry and I never want to stop listening to it. That is proof of an amazing song writer/artist!

[@sisabeth6036]

I'm not crying, you're crying. 😭

[@stephaniewright8570]

My Nana forgot who I was for the first time last week. The progression has been slow but its so heartbreaking. This song is beautiful and you really have a way of plucking my heart strings and helping me release emotions I didn't even know i was ignoring. Thank you.

[@erentischart4218]

I recently lost my grandmother and when I first heard this song I had a breakdown. Remembering the good times a know that I have to go through life and all of the milestones still to come. And I don’t know how I’m going to do that, I’m only 22 and she was my rock.

[@Emily-bj1hf]

I have this song on repeat! You capture the emotion so well. You are so ridiculously talented. Thank you for sharing your hard work and gift with the world.

[@sabrinahobbs9658]

I cry every time I heard this thinking about my dad. . . But it's so beautiful, I have to share it. Thank you for putting into words what many of us have been through

[@amandabaker2445]

My grandma has an incurable cancer she is fighting hard. It’s so odd trying to come to terms they her end will be here before we want it. She knows it and is telling her life stories and it is magical. She really lights up a room. This song is amazing.

[@heidicavanaugh1988]

Today is my mom's birthday. We lost her just over 4 years ago to Alzheimer's, what a horrible disease, it robbed me of time with her here on earth, but I know I will see her again soon and she is restored to herself by our great God. Thank you for this beautiful song on her birthday.

[@laylascott6096]

I take care of my mom with Alzheimer’s for the past 5-6 years. We had put her on hospice because her symptoms seemed she was nearing the end. Got her off two of her medications and 3 months later she was discharged from hospice. A true miracle but taking care of her and seeing her fading has been the most grueling 6 years. I’ve mourned every change that has made her “not her.” I’m happy you are at peace knowing your mom is now resting peacefully. And one day we will all be reunited into perfect health, no more death, tears, or pain thanks to our Saviour Jesus Christ. God bless you ❤

[@jeffreyaward]

Thank you for this. I’m the very antithesis of religious, so I hope you’ll forgive the co-opted language, but this song will minister to many a broken heart still experiencing the emotional shrapnel of a loved one’s dementia. May you and your family find moments of peace & joy in your grandmother’s memory.

[@berniceblanco8333]

This hit home for me. I was my grandma's caregiver and I lost her to dementia back in Aug of 2020. Hearing this song brought back lots of amazing memories during that time. Thank you for that. Being her caregiver showed me the good the bad and the ugly of dementia but I wouldn't change it for the world. Thank you for this beautiful amazing song. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤❤❤❤💗

[@maecollier3578]

Today, I just discovered you. It is November 3rd, 2023. I cannot wait to see your journey. I watched Kane Brown get as big as he is today. You are not far behind. ❤ Keep pushing. You got this!! 💪#justanoutsiderlookingin

[@zeadelapaz8108]

Made me cry so much, my Nanny is suffering dementia and my amazing mum has looked after her for the past 6years. She is going to start going to a care home and it breaks our hearts. It's so sad seeing someone disappear slowly leaving their shell behind

[@BeBeEstSince2013]

Oh my heart. Went thru this with my Mama for a lot of years until she joined my Daddy in heaven. This is beautiful and oh soooo accurate. Thank you for this!!

[@KristiL-x8j]

I haven’t stopped crying for 3 days. Absolutely beautiful song

[@Bryanjacobwalters]

SO LIKE I SAID, DO NOT LOSE YOUR WAYS WHEN YOU BLOW UP. It’s coming.

[@Lenabean46]

🦂💗🙏🪽

[@PolarBearDavey]

I’ve been waiting all week for this to drop!!! My grandma passed in 2021 and we’re still recovering from the fallout. ❤❤❤ this songs been giving me a lot of comforting closure after a personal battle with dementia

[@kimberlywiggins9650]

This is gonna go #1 on the charts!

[@AstaraRose]

My heart just broke a thousand times... I've lost three people close to my heart to dementia. All women. This song is everything. ❤

[@torquaygirl]

I'm crying my eyes out 😢 just with my granny. This hits close to home. Such beautiful, heartbreaking song Thank you for this❤

[@wholesomelivingwithandreao483]

I’ve been a caregiver for 18 years, mostly dementia patients, this song got me good.🥺❤️

[@laylascott6096]

God bless you ❤

[@woopityscoop2863]

Incredible song. Stay strong brother. Our elders forgetting who we are is tough. Stay strong brother 💪🏽

[@zcams94]

Took care of my grandparents when they both were going through the stages of dementia and Alzheimer’s until the end. Wouldn’t trade that time with them for anything. Beautiful song.

[@ryanred1525]

What a beautiful song. My grandaddy that raised me was recently diagnosed with dementia. And the future to come breaks my heart. I can't imagine the day he doesn't remember. My heart goes out to you with your grandma ❤

[@eloisebullock2510]

My Gran died of cancer a few years ago and she was unrecognisable towards the end. - this song is beautiful and resonates with me ❤

[@nanawhipkey]

I’m bawling…. 😢😢😢 you nailed it!! I miss my momma so much!!!

[@KOhmer-ko3wv]

Wow! I heard this song for the first time today! My father had Alzheimer’s. You so perfectly articulated how I felt. So beautiful- what a tender memorial to your mother.

[@emmaboobier2035]

I stumbled across you. It’s strange yet incredible how stars align. My grandma is losing her battle to dementia, this Friday I will see her for the last time to say goodbye. She no longer knows who I am, and the pain that comes with grieving someone who is still alive is one of the heaviest crosses to carry. Thank you for your beautiful song. I cannot listen to it without salt stained cheeks but it has given me a comfort and for that, I am grateful. X

[@Thundermac11]

From the 1st sentence I was in tears. I lost my mom in december 2020 to early onset dementia and Alzheimer's....I haven't cried like this since that cold December morning

[@tammydebrick536]

My Mom gained her wings just this Sunday. I had heard the previews of this song before she passed. This is one heck of an amazing song! THANK YOU for it!

[@emilytaylor2440]

Thank you for this. I have lost all four of my grandparents to different illnesses but my papaw John hit different. He was diagnosed with Colon cancer and within 8 months the cancer got into his brain and he would have delusions and forget where he was. He was the last grandparent I had left and to see him suffer silently broke my heart. Thank you. My love and prayers are with you.

[@tpot91]

This makes me miss my mom. Tell we meet again momma. Thank you for this!!!

[@AxRd85]

Fuck man. My great grandma passed of Alzheimer's back in 2012 exactly 8 days before my birthday... This song hits so hard, bless your soul for making this song ❤😭

[@heatherlewis8187]

I cannot stop listening to this song! ❤

[@nickabbe180]

Me too

[@houseonwillowbrook]

Dementia and Alzheimer’s are ugly diseases. I always watched people go through it with loved ones from afar. Now that I’m living it in my own family, it’s devastating. Cherish every moment you get with your loved ones. You’ll blink and they’ll be gone, though for some it might be while they’re still on earth.

[@madisuing2164]

Friend for tik Tok told me about this song. Lost my grandma in 2021 to Alzheimer’s, a few days before Christmas. She helped me realize I wanted to work with tiny humans, it’s changed my life. It’s tiring and stressful but every day I know she’s watching and that I go home happy. She taught me how to paint, how to use color to express feelings. How to play piano, how to sing. She taught me what it meant to be a good person. She had early onset Alzheimer’s and it was so devastating to watch her become a shell. She was an incredible human. She saved so many souls. I can’t wait to see her again. I could go on but basically thank you.

[@gemmacampbell5202]

This song😢 i feel like it captured everything i have felt. I lost my grandma 6 weeks ago and she fought Alzheimers with everything she had. This song is beautiful.

[@SamuelDavidDickinson]

Every once in a while a song is written that is almost perfect, a song that so wonderfully captures the human condition and spirit. I've so missed "real" in songwriting. I have listened to this over and over and a different part hits me every time. Thank you for giving this to us.

[@chrissax5477]

What a wonderful song!❤ The lyrics, the melody, your voice and a beautiful arrangement! Everytime goosebumps!! Thank you so much!!❤

[@223raz]

Amazing song that captures the truth of the terrible disease ❤🥺

[@Optimistic_Flowerboy]

THANK YOU! I’ll finally be able to listen to something as I look at all my grammie photos as I cry and celebrate the life she lived. Rest in peace grammie. August 27th, 2021 💔

[@WillowLieghio]

This bought me to tears remembering my Nan this will be my second Christmas without her it just not the same anymore 😢

[@arianaperez031]

My great grandma passed away a couple months ago but she forgot me about 2 years ago I’m excited to hear this song and share it with my grandma (her daughter) I’ve already cried hearing it on TikTok so I can’t wait to listen to the whole song 💕💕

[@arianaperez031]

Just listened to the song it’s one of my new favorites now what a beautiful song this is a masterpiece 💕

[@lisasims8929]

This fits my life. My grandson sent it to me. I packed up and followed my dreams and now travelling around the country. I love this.

[@zenpachi100]

Thats hits hard when you say " It's weird to mourn someone When they are alive" 😢😢

[@laylascott6096]

It’s called ambiguous grief or ambiguous loss. I’ve been going through it since my mom was diagnosed 6 years ago. The type of pain where you can physically feel your heart breaking

[@bgspiritgrass]

I came across a pre-save video of this on insta. I had to find it. I am glad it was posted 4 hours ago. My grandma had dementia. I had to move away before she was diagnosed with it and no one told me about it. I went back home to visit family and she thought I was my cousin. She didn't recognize me. I have always been super close to her and that was heartbreaking. She passed away 3 months after I saw her. I am glad I got to see her one more time, but it hurts to know she didn't know me anymore.

[@Scorpiogirl_1029]

This song no lie had me in tears because it made me think about & miss my Grandpa that passed away from Leukemia in 2008. I don't think any song has ever hit my heart so hard like that before.

[@Lizapeac3]

Lost my father to dementia. Now my mother has it so badly. It is constantly mourning a person they no longer can be. She's a ghost of herself. It's so sad especially with the holidays here which she used to love. Now she has no concept of Christmas. I don't know how much longer I'll have with her. This song is amazing. I hope I'll see a video with her picture in it. Please. Thank you for doing this song.

[@brooklynnwilliams1038]

This song is absolutely beautiful 😢 it'll #1 very soon ❤️

[@sunrisevibes7638]

This song is legendary, the energy and story it carries is vital and needed for others to feel and hear, thank you for this gift.

[@michaela_marie4139]

I lost my great grandma to dementia a few years ago and this song really does help describe the pain and also love and struggle of having family with dementia

[@adriennetriplett2993]

I heard the beginning of this song on FB. It crushed me. I just lost my MIL after her exhausting battle with dementia. You put into words feelings you can't even describe. Thank you. Your music genuinely reaches peoples hearts. Keep doing that. 💔

[@LizaTerraASMR]

This song speaks volumes for me thank you so much my Grandma had dementia

[@aevwheel9085]

My grandma doesn't have Alzheimer's or dementia but I moved 2000 miles away from my family and I miss my grandma alot sometimes thanks for the song

[@calebstrayer2644]

As my grandma is and will always be my rock. Being there instead of my own parents. She still is helping me out through my back surgery at 24. I hope you continue making music you do have a beautiful voice❤ God I hope she lives many more years 🙏

[@jessikabennett1641]

I had to hold my breath listenting to this just to hold it together. You sang it so real so perfect thank you for coming out with a song like this and acknowledgeing how hard it is to support someone aith Alzheimer's. I did it for my great grama when i was 15 and i even considered emmancipation so i could. It wasnt allowed and she was put in a home where i continued to support her and care for her. I even went to see her before special events she always appreciated it and never remembered who i was. Sometimes I could play songs for her and she would become lucid those were my favorite moments

[@Ling08890]

Thank you for this song🤍My grandma just passed away from cancer this year on May. And this song reminds me of her🤍

[@iSolutionsMicronesia]

Amazing song Ryan. I lost my grandma 2 years ago. I miss her so much. Close to her death she started being forgetful. This song touched me so much. 😢

[@amandatschakert7350]

This song means so much to me. ❤

[@gloriaganino1564]

Beautiful! My mom has advanced Alzheimer’s and doesn’t recognize me, which is so very sad. Thank you for this beautiful song ❤

[@Thaat1Guyy]

Yes sir. Beautiful tribute. She's looking down on you so proud.

[@markhowieson5116]

I literally just heard this about 10 hours on Instagram reels and searched it on this and saw it was getting released in a few hours. Lyrics are amazing and heartbreaking to hear, but it's your song is outstanding ❤.

[@Blu3Jayyz]

I can’t relate to the song however, this is the first song in the 20 years I’ve been living that has made me tear up. Thank you Ryan 💙

[@LesleyHochstettler]

Coming from a person that had two grandparents with alztimers and one grandparent with dementia, thank you for this song.

[@whatsupchuck86]

Thank you! This broke me, but is so beautiful!!!

[@hannahore8650]

This is incredible..the amount of emotions im in now, like wow. I remember my late grandma, we call her Nanay (iloveyou Nay) This brings me back to when I left our place, I promised her the next time im coming back she will meet her grandkids.,but 3 months later she went into a coma, spent the next months in the bed.,until she peacefully passed. I was unable to come home due to complicated situations. Im in the other side of the world, and I mourned.,alone, by myself. Then, when i got back home.,i finally meet her again, in her grave. .Nay, Iloveyou until we meet again. But yes, I’ll tell you about her .,She fought one hell of a fight, lived one hell of a life, She always lit a room, now the light has gone with her. I hope Heaven's real so the memories are forever. One day, we'll look back on all of them together. THANK YOU FOR THIS SONG RYAN ❤️

[@user-wl2md5kz7k]

This should be on the radio man!

[@momma_mochi_bear684]

Both my grandparents passed with dementia and this song means so much to me. I’m glad that now that they’re gone they remember everything and watch over us. 🌺🌷🪻🌸🌼🌻❤️❤️🕯️🕯️
