    I work on a gas station at night. The radio plays only classical in my shift and its amazing to see how many people react positive to this. After concerts many metalheads including the bands drop by as well and they really enjoy it as well.
  • " Je suis né très jeune dans un monde très vieux " ( I was born very young in a very old world ) used to say Erik. God bless you , wise man !
  • Peace, love and respect to all you people out there, wherever maybe, what country and culture you are living with God bless you always❤🙏!
  • My youngest son, who passed away four years ago, loved this music. When I played it for him he would immediately say " Look Mummy - I dancing" It makes me cry every time I hear it to think of that lovely little boy.

    Desde a minha adolescência ouvia Eric Satie num rádio de pilha, enquanto trabalhava como telefonista para custear um curso que eu fa:ia. Tinha uma rádio fantástica(ainda existe!)onde só tocam clássicos. Era muito jovem mesmo e ficava no silêncio do meu trabalho ouvindo Satie e outros compositores maravilhosos! Uma viagem inebriante...Agora, aos 69 anos, continuo à ouvir as mesmas, eternas composições...não existe tempo para o belo, o que é realmente bom.Escrevo do Brasil-Rio de Janeiro. Abraços aos amantes da boa música!

    This makes me think of my loved ones that have passed on and that I should cherish the moments I have with the ones that are still here
  • I'm trying to sleep now. Today, my dog was diagnosed with bone cancer. I am 18 years old and he is 15 years old and needs to amputate his paw and undergo chemotherapy. But at that age he can't take it ... So he'll probably be sacrificed. I'm crying so much ... He was always my company. And now you're going to move on to another plane. This song calms me down a little and helps me in this sad moment. I hope you don't go through the same pain that I feel now. Animals are angels and should not suffer. Edit: well, my dog passed way at april 19. He had been cured of anemia and widespread infection. However, when he was about to start cancer treatment, he died at home. His breathing was slowing, his heartbeat was getting weak. I tried to do cardiac massage, but it was inevitable. Now he is on another plane. And I miss you so much. It has been my company since I was a child. Rest in peace, my friend. I will aways love you.

    Satie must be one of the most underrated composers. When i write poems this is my major influx of inspiration. And its both beutuful and give hopes for us other outsiders. He was a genius far before his time sadly. I am now 62 years and have listen to this for decades..want to have it on my funeral.

    Absolute magic. Haunting, beautiful, subtle, mesmerizing, enchanting.... Satie was a true genius. Refined talent. Big respect

    I’ve been listening to this music for many years and has served me well as I both design buildings and read books that require thoughtful thinking. A true pleasure…..

    I heard this music for the first time back in 2012. This was the ringtone of our office phone. Our office becomes silent and almost empty after 6PM, and very few staff stays back till 9PM . I was among the 9 PM leavers. In the dead office silence, this music used to be the silent distant background score. For many years I took some effort to find this music, but failed. In 2019, YouTube recommended this music and I clicked without knowing what was in store. 😊 Till day I am overjoyed to have found this music. 😊

    I play this song as I feed my 5 day old baby and it brings us so much peace. I think I’ll remember these moments for the rest of my life.
  • I used to play this everyday after lunch for my 2nd graders while they wrote in their journals. They would transform from wild horses sweating from recess into lovely angels 🥰
  • @pocu321
    The empty park benches make me want to sit in each one with different people from my past to revisit moments in time.
  • I am so very sad over the state of our planet - the beauty of Satie brings melancholic peace. I first heard this in 1963, in love, in New York . The Madison Pub. Avoiding classes at Columbia, first love forever ago, forever loved.
  • J'écoute cette symphonie, quand je me sens d'humeur morose. J'ai 34 ans. La vie passe tellement vite 🎠
  • Magnifique ; Satie est arrivé à faire du silence une note sublimée en total harmonie avec des notes pures et dépouillées ! instant de grâce :)
