Erik Satie - Gnossienne No.1 (Extended)

It is funny how everyone comment "this song is about.." and then they write their most intense internal feelings. Maybe this song is about a mirror.

It's strange that all the people who listen to this masterpiece have the same feeling about it but no one can describe it

After mom and dad broke up my dad got depressed, for a while the house was a mess, mom took almost everything from the house, and all he would do is sleep the pain away and listen to this song. About 5 to 6 years pass by and he got married again, the house was back in shape and my dad was happy again. One day while we were in a long car drive together alone, he told me about how miserable he was all those years ago when me and my little brother were young after the break up, and he showed me this special song, and how much it calms him when he hears it. When I put this song while he is laying down or sitting he can't help but close his eyes and rest, probably because it reminded him of how much he used to listen to this song in that period of time. To this day i still listen to this song from time to time, and it reminds me of my wonderful dad... The sad thing is... I can't shake off the feeling of when he dies, I'll be listening to this song while mourning his death. just like how he mourned my mom...

Nasıl bir melodidir ki; hem en mutlu hem en hüzünlü anılarınızı aynı anda size hatırlatsın, yeniden yaşatsın, sonsuz bir duygu evreninde sizi gezdirsin... Normal insan işi değil...Delilik böyle bir şey olmalı...

When the end of the world comes, this will be the song playing in the background..

It's like you can play this melody to a newborn to calm down and fall asleep, for someone in their 20ies drinking alone in the bar realising the difficulty of adulthood, for a middle aged couple that no longer finds each other in every day routine but remembers why they fell in love with each other while kids are at grandparents and this is song could also be something to be played for a person lying on their deathbed scrolling through their life in the head

It is actually so difficult to describe the feelings that produces me this masterpiece. I describe this song as sadness, loss and tears just like some old memories. But also it makes me feel like in my comfort zone, green garden with colored flowers, with a blue magic lake at the background and a soft breeze hiting my face.

There should be a country, an island or a world that gathers only people who listen to such masterpieces ❤

My father was a surgeon in a small town in Veracruz, Mexico. At a time when there were only two surgeons in that city. He sometimes suffered from a lot of stress and this music calmed his soul. I remember once he told me that when I had to face a discussion with others: wife, colleagues, etc., I should listen to this music before speaking. I couldn't do this, but this music reminds me of my father.

“A river cuts through rock, not because of its power, but because of its persistence.”

This masterpiece makes me feel nostalgic for a life I never experienced. I seriously miss those nonexistent days…

You cannot produce a new color with your mind. But with this masterpiece, you can feel emotions that you have never felt before...

The music of that quiet, little, nagging feeling that something isn't right.

Yarın bu saatlerde askerde olacağım. Bu yorumu yıllar sonra görürüm umarım

J'ai vécu 35 ans â PARIS,cette musique me fait penser à Montmartre, également des quartiers magnifiques dans le 20 ème aux alentours du métro Danube avec leurs petites maisons, c'était une époque merveilleuse que j'ai eu la chance de connaître

"Çok tuhaftı, ağlayamadım. Ama ruhum paramparça olmuştu." -Dostoyevski

"Don't bend; don't water it down; don't try to make it logical; don't edit your own soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly." -Franz Kafka

Clarity , sadness , melancholy , happiness , this masterpiece is the monalisa of music

I'm a working girl and right now I'm walking down the street at 3am all alone, and listening to this keeps me calm, aware and present. Its like I have a good friend walking right next to me.
