The country singer re-recorded his song, 'Raymond' with a special dedication to his late grandmother
“I remember that feeling of, ‘How do I even make sense of this?’ [My grandmother] was somebody who knew everything about me my whole life,” Eldredge says in a new video by theSo he “chased down” the emotions he was feeling through his grandmother’s diagnosis, and wrote a song dedicated to her that was inspired by the 5.8 million Americans living with Alzheimer’s and“I wrote and tried to work through it and cope with it in that way,” the “The Long Way” singer, 33, says.
He called the song “Raymond,” and it told the story of a man who continuously visits an assisted living facility where one of the patients thinks he is her son because she is living with dementia.“When she calls me Raymond, she thinks I’m her son,” Eldredge sings in the song’s chorus. “Tells me get washed up for supper, before your daddy gets home. She goes on about the weather, how she can’t believe it’s already 1943. She calls me Raymond, and that’s all right by me.
“Instead of saying ‘You know, I’m not your son,’ and making her feel wrong for having some disease or not being able to remember, he goes along with it and it keeps a smile on her face,” Eldredge says of the song, which also draws from his own personal experience of singing hymns in nursing homes.
