Outro: Debussy - Arabesque No. 1
Hello, I'm Rousseau, I make piano covers of classical and pop songs with a reactive visualizer. New videos every Monday!
#Rousseau #Piano #PianoCover
Hello everyone, this video is dedicated to my Patron Mike Barnett who has been doing some amazing things with my MIDIs. He's been supporting me since the beginning, so I want to thank him and all of you for your ever-growing support! This piece evokes the feelings of being in a dream, like floating amongst clouds in ultimate tranquility, I hope it brightens your day.
Rousseau thanks that's really cool I hope you a good day as well I've been trying to learn how to play piano I've only played wind intruments though (baritone trumpet flute and clarinet) and I would love to know how to play it 😂
What kind of piano do u use in your videos i am new to your videos and would love to play piano
what a night to find this channel played along w tears of joy never knew the name to this melody
I made the mistake of listening to this 5:10am, So peaceful and beautiful i now have to go to sleep. (Very Amazing Though)
Can I request September Song by Agnes Obel?
This is either:
A. The most relaxing piece ever
B. The most depressing piece ever
Yes it is
Let’s say AB

This piece is considered by many to be Satie's most prominent work.
But while, as you can see, a lot of people in the comments reminisce about old times, express emotions of sadness or happiness, feel calm and tranquil from the simplistic beauty of Gymnopédie, he never intended it to be interpreted in any of these ways.
Satie produced this piece as "Furniture music", sort of like musical white noise in the background of other activities. For example, as ambiance for a fancy restaurant. He never knew that it would become so impactful in the world of music, as he died in 1925 and his legacy started to rise in the 1960s. It's amazing how even in a minimalist throwaway piece, he was able to, accidentally or not, capture such a wide range of experiences and moods, still listened to by millions around the world in modern times.
Not only listened, but played. I'm learning it right now, it's incredibly easy.
It ' s very sad that during his life his music was so underrated. I hope he's happy seeing the impact of his music , now
This isn't true. Satie referred to three specific sets of his compositions as "furniture music." None of those were Gymnopédies.
aint no way bro accidentally created the most beautifull thing my ears had the opportunity to enjoy, and intended it to be used in walmart music
@@jldragongamesI don't think it is as unlikely as it seems. Camille Saint-Saens wrote "Carnival of the Animals" and locked it in a drawer, never to be performed. He was embarrassed by it. This (Satie's song) is favorite classical piece, and I often hear it in the most unlikely places. As an example, there was a Benny Hill Sketch where he is a clown who falls asleep and, while this piece plays, has a dream about dancing with a beautiful woman who walks off of a billboard.
I love this song it’s so depressing and yet so calming
Totally agree
totally agree with that
For me it’s like thoughts swirling about my day, while looking out a window watching snow fall, or watching rain fall

for me its not depressing at all
This is one of those classical pieces you can recognise but never know the name of, until now...
Pete the name will forever be in my head now... thanks to Rousseau.
Love this piece. and it aint even long.
I've remembered it from various (gaming, ASMR, etc) channels and it just stuck with me.

My 12 year old son just learned this and played it for his mom's birthday two days ago as her gift. Needless to say, she wept a bit :) Its now one of my favorites to listen to. And I cant help but shed a tear a little bit when I see my son playing it. Its make him that much more beautiful of a person.
Wow!!
Invaluable!
Wow! he is such a nice young man! So sweet!
Thank you for sharing that beautiful story. This is the beauty of Satie. At first it seems like a simple piece. Slow. Melancholy. But as you listen you begin to feel emotions you didn’t expect. I listen to Gymnopedie No.1 to relieve stress. To meditate. It always moves me in ways I didn’t expect. Cheers to you and your family. Hope your son stays with it

A ya 😂
This was the song that always put me to sleep when I was a baby. This song is one of my earliest memories.
Playing it in front of my family today felt a little surreal, like the past was repeating itself. It was one of the very few times i've seen my dad cry.
I wish I could thank Erik Satie a thousand times for this beautiful piece that inspired my love for piano.
This just goes to show that maybe older things from the past are always better simply because we enjoyed it as a kid and we still enjoy it today…
As long as nothing has changed…
@@Allry24 Sometimes it's so, but sometimes things really change.
Sometimes you meet very good people, that become friends of a life but one day they go far away in an other city, in an other country and you will not meet them again.
In my case, i fall in love for the first time (and i will not fall in love for an another) 8 years ago, i was, and i am deeply in love for her, but i never say it to she.
She was a very nice person for me, we spoke a lot of times about life, music, a lot of things, sometimes our eyes look so intense to each other, one time she write on a little paper, something, she was going to give it to me but suddenly she chose to put in a basket it, perhaps she was embaressed.
I will never know what she wanted to tell me, but i think that for sometime she fall in love for me.
Now years are passed and i never met she again, but i remember that beatiful days and my heart everytime fills of warm nostalgy, remember her green eyes, her smile, her words, every moment that i passed with her.
I hope that perhaps a far day she will know what i feel for her
@@rf00111 I truly understand what you say, and I may experience this in the future but I am still not ready to go out into the rest of the world yet, for I am still in the middle of high school trying to get a good career path and get my life on an open road to meet new people and opportunities and one might be my true love but that is not important to me right now.
I appreciate your wise words on how things do change very greatly and whether it is good or bad we all still must move forward for it is an obstacle for us to pass.
Good luck, and keep moving forward in life and live your dreams to the fullest.
@@Allry24 Thank you very much, i really appreciate your words.
Hope you the best in everything

Satie actually wrote some most "simple" pieces and yet they are absolutely gorgeous
Simple can be relative to a lot of pianists~ So something could be very simple, but the way pianists play it can be considered difficult :) Satie may make it look simple, but there has to be a certain mood I'm sure he wanted portrayed.
Literallyyy I’m learning it rn and there’s a lot of effort for a simple effect
as Debussy said, music is the silence between the notes.
simple piano pieces are better than ones with 1 billion notes
@@lightmodesupremacy7321 >:(
Why does everybody associate this song with sadness? I think it's actually a very calm and peaceful song.
willem sluijs Music is subjective and so is feelings. Personally I find the song to sound sad, but that doesn’t mean you’re wrong. Again Music is subjective so we’re both right
Perhaps it’s just been used over sad times for many people or old meemories that you can’t revisit.
Maybe because this piece is very quiet and slow.
@@Jyudee yeah same
Because the tempo marking is slow and painful
My teacher used to play this in class to calm us for quiet time. It has both comforted and haunted me for decades not knowing the name of this composition but my ears never forgot it. Finally found it, thank you.
Those bass notes... I can feel it in my soul
For 4 minutes and 5 seconds, everything in my life was...perfect.

Nobody is using the right word to describe this song. It’s not sad or depressing it’s a nostalgic melancholy
Art is subjective.
@@mattd507 true but a lot of people in the comments admit themselves that depressing isn’t the right work but it’s the best they know to describe it. I didn’t mean to be condescending and tell people they’re wrong I just wanted to give a possibly more apt description of what I believed people were attempting to describe
everyone interprets things differently. some people might see it as sad because of similar pieces they experience it with. nostalgia is also usually associated with past memories and maybe people can’t attribute this to anything that reminds them of a past experience. so there’s no wrong or right way to describe it, although some words fit better than others. i don’t think there’s anything wrong with saying it’s sad, depressing, nostalgic, or melancholic. personally, i would agree that it does feel melancholic.
Maybe melancholy but I wouldn’t say nostalgic. I feel absolutely no nostalgia while listening. I see it as simple yet beautiful. Mainly because when I play it, I notice the patterns and realize how simple it is but it doesn’t feel that way.
Nostalgic nails it on the head.
Once long ago when I was a young teen. I played this song on loop during a snowy night with no light or ambience besides the fireplace. I was drinking a vanilla cream soda and doing a puzzle, it was the best time ever.
Thats so beautiful.
😍
Living your best life !
So awesome

@@elnoroii lmaoo XD
I find it amazing how the 'chorus' (for lack of a better word) makes you feel differently when it is repeated for the second time than when it is played for the first time...
After deciding to learn playing piano being 50 years old this is the first piece of music i learned to play i would call a real piece, not only exercice. It was so satisfying to hear me play it, even if i am not perfect at it. Before that i almost was about to forget about my plans to learn piano, cause my exercice pieces bored me on one hand or where overdemanding on the other. What a lovely song.
Keep going! We believe in ya
I love this piece im learning it although im only 11 year old with like 2 motnhs of experience
I don't understand why people would dislike such beautiful masterpiece.
If YOU like it, that's enough. Trying to understand human behaviour or decision making will...
Don't know if its a masterpiece. Its definitely very pretty though
Often it’s spite from comments like this one
I dunno if the composer, Erik Satie, would have considered it a masterpiece. He composed it for relaxing reasons. You know, Music that could be played in the background while pepole are talking or reading, something like that. No kidding, that was really his intention. But nevertheless, for me it is a masterpiece. :-)
maybe they disliked the fact that life is too short to listen to the song for eternity and disliked out of jealousy and spite
This is the best song to play on a stormy night. 🌉☔🎶
Jake.The.Pianist thx for the idea imma do that after i got some tea
Jake.The.Pianist The Storm by Burgmüller
Yea true that’s a good idea
Wonderful idea... Feelings are coming up
You know what, I would really do that as it is night and I feel like playing this. To bad my neighbours aren't deaf though,them little f******.
It's one of those songs that makes you sad remembering something that happened in the past and happy at the same time because it happened.
Man i could listen to this on loop for hours and still not get tired of it
I love this piece of Satie. It feels like someone I love is dying in few minutes and we're making the best out of the remaining moments.
yes
That's dark, but I agree

This Goes Deep into my Soul....Don't know how to Explain
As a life-long musician, I feel it deflates my Soul & inflates my Spirit.
My teacher used to play this to make us go to sleep, she has had I believe one or so children and she had made me the person I am today, I am almost rich, I have never been truly truly depressed, because of such a kind person, she was so nice. Thank you Ms.Cook and may your child(ren) be happy and safe. Thank you ❤.
The fact that this masterpiece gets confused/compared to Minecraft just goes to show how both are able to successfully evoke nostalgic happiness vibes in our emotions and we should appreciate the composers of both classical and video game genres
Exactly, having your song compared to something from the Minecraft OST should be a compliment, not offensive.
It definitely sounds like something I could listen to in minecraft when I'm farming or out on an adventure. Wish I could figure out how to override the music files on mobile and I would 😂
It doesn’t remind me of Minecraft, I feel like I’ve hear it before in a kids show like the amazing world of gumball. I’m not sure how to explain it
C418 was inspired by Erik Saties music Thats why this reminds to minecraft music
this song plays inside my head whenever i look at the night sky in Minecraft.
If I were to describe this song, i would say it feels like sitting on the edge of a rooftop nearing sunset looking at the sky while the wind blows calmly through the hair.
feels like sneaking downstairs to the fridge at nighttime
And if ur feeling depressive, it would also feel like remembering the good times while you're sitting on the roof but now everything is different from before.
And that wind, man
It feels like this song
Oh yeah i do that in minecraft
For me it actually reminds me of Roblox because the 1st Roblox game I played (Work at a Pizza Place) has this song or a similar 1,I don’t play Roblox anymore because November 24 2020 my password stoped working I’m better now but this song will always be a nostalgic reminder of Roblox :)
(Edit because grammar)
This song to me expresses a deep sence of suffering yet still makes you come to peace with it
Jesus loves you!
This makes me want to go to a forest and just have a lovely picnic in the sun with my family or friends. It's a peaceful sunny feeling that hits you with slight nostalgia like finally after some hard days you have come to the day where you can rest and relax
For real.
this composition is so versatile. You could imagine something so happy like a sunny forest while contrarily visualizing a rainy city or landscape.

@@NobleOne-cm7lr As with most art, it lives through interpretation. With that being said, some people just absolutely murder art, especially in the medium of music. Though the actual beats and rests may read one thing, there is also an important part to playing an instrument which includes style and personally the way rousseau interprets this piece is the exact way I believe it should be played. You can find the sheet music online for free as it's copyright laws are all expired by now. Hope this helps!
This is Rousseau we're talking about here... cmon... of course he's going to do everything perfectly
Agree
I don't know why, but this music reminds me of my beloved Mum, and always reduces me to a few tears. Sweet memories of her.
This song sounds peaceful. Like going to school while starring out the window and spacing out. It sounds like a boring yet peaceful life, its... simple. It sounds like being alone, but content with it while sitting on the roof. Simple, boring, but peaceful and content.
They played this at my best friends funeral. She was 15 at the time and absolutely adored this piece. Always played it and nearly perfected it through practice.
I really love it too but for lack of better words it was ruined by her death. I can't listen to it and not think of that person and it really hurts.
So it kinda sits there. And sometimes when I wanna feel that extra bit closer, I'll have it play in my room and just run over the memories through my mind.
You were taken far too soon, Samantha. I'm a grown ass man now but not a day goes by. Rest in Peace, get ready to play this again when I see you in the beyond. 🕊️
Heartbreaking loss too soon. I am so sorry for your loss.
I am sorry for your loss.
I wish you all the best.
rest in peace
I’m so sorry. I have a similar issue with weezers’ buddy holly. My friend Kiera sang it with me every time it played during color guard rehearsals. She committed suicide a year after we got to bond. I think about her from time to time, life is such a painful experience at times. I hope you’re well. I’m trying my best to stay okay.
Sounds poetic rather than legit so shut up yea? Don't tryna get likes and ruin this song with fake stories, this is getting way to common.
Also if this song is ruined by her death, why did u play it at her funeral? Why not go pick some other songs, there are millions of them out there.
this feels like when you’re remembering a good memory, from when times were happy and carefree. That nostalgic melancholy that spreads through your chest and makes you tear up knowing you can never go back to those memories.
You literally couldn’t have said that better, thank you. This piece always gave me the feeling of longing for something I never had but your description is quite better
If nostalgia had a theme song it would definetly be this.
I believe that emotion is called "saudade".
*You are filled with Determination.*
not sorry for the Undertale reference.
It's like you read my mind..
Don't be sad it's over, be happy because it happened
Its amazing how this song makes you think of the kindness side of humanity
This makes me tear up, that's how nostalgic it is. When I was around 7, I had a little owl toy that would play music until morning, with his face glowing yellow. At morning his face would glow green and say "hoo-hoo! it's ok to wake up!" This was one of those songs that would play. It was always hard for me to sleep, having ADHD. I would hear this one play a lot while I was bored. This song in particular however, would be the one that would ever put me to sleep. I finally found it. I am so happy.
Izzy the Trashposter I want that toy. For no reason at all
Happy for ya buddy

The most I ever tried was poking out Mary had a little Lamb with an index finger. I visited my parents today and sat down at their piano and emulated the sequence visually. Got okay at the first 50 seconds of the composition with just 30 minutes of practice. You really can learn this 👍
I learned this piece for fun on classical guitar, the sound is quite different but still carries the same tone and mood
Yes, i have a depression. There, i said it! I think i'm not worth, i'm struggling with my work and i try to be perfect and try to avoid all mistakes at work. When i make one, it makes me sick. But this song, it helps. I'm walking on a beach, hear the waves coming in, hear the seagulls, and i'm in peace....
Hi rulfan, Since you made this comments, I'm wondering, how are you doing now?
cheer up lovee! 💗
If you don't love you do know. Even without knowing your experience. Your hardships. Your struggle, or what makes you happy. I love you man. Keep pushing don't give it up.
this feels like you're walking in a silent alley in comfortably cold night, stars and moon peeking through the clouds while houses are filled with lights.

Even though many disagree with me, I find this song to be really sad. Not sad in a dramatic way, just sad in the way that you…miss something. Whenever I listen to this song, I feel sad because I want to go back to a specific time, a specific memory, where I felt good. I don’t know how to describe the feeling, it’s just wanting to be there again, it’s almost lonely.
edit : yall I think I’ve got a pretty good idea of the feeling im feeling you don’t need to passive-aggressively reply “ummm it’s nostalgia” every time 💀

@@mawla3836 you should allow people to interpret pieces in their own meaningful way… it’s not for everyone
I love this melody.
Эта мелодия такая странная и душевная одновременно. Она создает ощущение борбы где то внутри между эмоциями. Нахлынувшие депрессивные воспоминания подавляются необъяснимым спокойствием, желанием сладко поспать или просто посидеть возле окна с чашечкой горячего чая и ни о чем не думать. Честно, это как колыбельная, своеобразная, дарящая некий покой, воздушность и свободу. Все тревоги и мысли просто уходят из головы. Я правда ни о чем не думаю. Эта пустота такая умиротворяющая!
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: today (04/19/2021) my dog gone by natural death. he had cardiopulmonary arrest. Thank you very much for your support. It was very painful, but he was a warrior. He fought anemia, widespread infection and tick disease and managed to survive ... However, unfortunately, he was unable to resist cancer and its consequences.
woow :(
Bless your heart! Im glad this song helps you and others through hard times. Animals having to pass away is a really hard thing. Once he is gone he will no longer be in pain. You will always miss your friend, but you won't feel as awful as you do now, forever. All my strength to you, enjoy every moment with all loved ones, animal or human.
Love is something you cant destroy. He will always be there.
I lost my dog when I was four years old and this was one of the hardest thing I ever had to overcome, he was there since my day of birth and I had never imagine my life without him. It is hard but he will be forever in the depth of your soul and heart. Wish you a good day and a good life even if it will be certainly without him. Bye
i know just how you feel. my dog didn’t have cancer but he was blind and deaf and in physical pain bc he was so old. don’t worry , it’s okay to cry. we all cried. but just know he is in doggy heaven and he will live on forever and ever with no pain 💜🕊
I don't think this song is completely sad, It's more melancholic, relaxing and happy. Like feeling better after a deppressive episode. Sure, you still may not like yourself and your anxiety isn't may not be gone but you can take this moment to relax and feel happy again for a while.
This will probably get lost somewhere and nobody will read it, but to the people that see this. Ever had a feeling you can’t describe? An empty thought that can’t be imagined, a blurry vision that can’t be seen, a memory that you feel but don’t remember. When you feel something tugging at your heart, but you can’t understand what or why. A calmness falls over you, along with sorrow and sadness. A bit of eeriness, loneliness. Joy, happiness. This song can be heard in the past present and future. Something so little yet significant. When I first heard this song, this is what I felt and it reminded me of a lot of things. Recently these recent years, I’ve become more and more self conscious. Sometimes, instead of doing my work, I sit and think about what my life will become. That my parents will eventually be dead, and so would I. And I wonder, what is the purpose. As I continue to grow, I might eventually find it, but that is something that might not even happen. Everyday, I dread of waking up stressed, and going to school, or whatever. The night is the only time I feel peaceful, sometimes I have deep thoughts like this, other times my mind is empty. And right now, I’m still wondering about the purpose. Perhaps there is no purpose. Perhaps the purpose is to find it. Perhaps it is to just live and be happy. But all of this is worthless against the simple question, “why”. Sure I can be happy, but “why”, am I not going to die anyway. This is what makes life so beautiful, scary, and meaningless to some. Because life’s purpose is something that you have to figure out. And it will be different for everyone, a path that leads to a crossroad of infinite choices. Every star in the sky represents one of us, some will grow brighter and hotter, some become dim, but in the end we will all vanish into nothingness. But the greatest difference between us and the star is that we can achieve something meaningful, something that will make people remember us for. By helping an old lady cross the road, she might tell her kids and grandkids and they will remember you. Or by making a donation, building schools, or even just saying a simple have a nice day. People will remember you. This message that I’m writing has many contradictions to what I’m saying, just like the feelings this song makes you feel. Anger for not doing something worthwhile, sadness for all the happy times that has past, happiness for the fact that we had even been happy, and that we will continue to live and explore life. My final message to you is to keep on growing, keep on exploring, keep on inventing, keep on thinking, keep on working because the moment you stop, is when you are forever lost, forgotten, and dead. Keep on going, and never stop.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts wild stranger on the internet.
I know what feelings you describe. Not having enough grasp of a thought or not being able to visualise an idea. Feeling nostalgic for something you've heard the first time in your life.
That's what this piece of music and art is for me. I heard it for the first time today, well at least consciously. And I feel like it's a memory from a better past, I've never had or at least I'm not aware of.
Life is what you make of it. That's what I have found for myself after 32 years at least.
Everyone has other expectations, goals and dreams of and in life.
And that is fine I think.
Some might live their life and will vanish from the collective memory of the earth.
Others will make a huge impact and will go on to live forth in history books.
And I think that's fine as long as one is happy with their life and their decisions.
The journey is what counts not the end of it.
At least that's what I have made peace with.
You don't have to be your best self every day of your life, or help each and every granny that wants to cross the road. It's okay to be just who you are.
Live your live happy stranger, not waste it, you might only get one, so at least be happy with it.
Adieu.
Mono no Aware (jap) maybe means something like that
This piece gives me this weird feeling of missing a beautiful memory I have that doesn't exist
"Anemoia : nostalgia for a time you've never known."
Right! I have been looking for a way to describe this song for a couple years now!
If you like that feeling I recommend the movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind as well as it's soundtrack.

I think that's why they chose this for Spiritfarer's Soundtrack, the game is all about letting go loved ones, but instead of feeling sad, remembering all the good times you had together.
@@davidtorazzi7650 I don’t know what game your talking about but okay, I really only found this song while scrolling through my Spotify
@@renna495 Sure, that's why I mentioned what it's about. I just thought that it fits so well.

R/wooooosh
lol
I want the last minutes of my life hearing this song slowly playing in the background as I remember all the beautiful memories and achievements before finally resting in peace, smiling, and surrounded by my loved ones.
Same.
That got deep
Well said, it is just so calm and soothing.
u mean the credits?
Same, but remove the achievements bit lol.
How can such a sad tune be so pretty and enchanting to hear?
Yo digo que está melodía te eleva por encima de todo,es una pieza que te llena de vida y despierta tu voluntad...
On paper, this looks like childishly easy music, but it needs a sophisticated touch to convey the spine ripples of extacy.

True.
Honestly I'd argue otherwise. It's super easy to play emotionally but I think that's what's great about it. Anyone can play it.
@@Venpris Au contraire, I think it is difficult to interpret it well, as it is with most music.
Big words I dont understand 🙃
Dont ask me how but this song makes me happy and sad at the same time. Like that part in the movie when something great is happening then it all falls down. Like....UP when they were getting older
Master Sushi Chef nostalgic is the word sir
@@espurr6628 my apologies, good sir
That is the exact movie I thought of when listening xD
How?
I was just going to say white prince and the devil black prince (My favourite Japanese drama) God it's almost like listening to a depressing song after a break up 😩😩😢
Can't listen to this without getting choked up, It brings out a deep deep sadness in me. Like a reflection on everything I've ever lost. That being said it's my all time favorite piano piece
When it's raining outside, but it doesn't make you sad. You just look out the window at the rain and contemplate the nature of life, and the world.
heard this song a while ago, heard it again on Queen's Gambit and re kindled my love for this beautiful piece of music, great work!
literally the same thing for me man lol
Bravo “Gambit” Bravo
Yeah beth's mother played that piece
Same here. I have two more episodes.
She didnt play the whole piece well though, too fast and powerful
I never realized this song was used in popular media that people confuse for being the original like Minecraft or Haruhi.
I've always known this song as a child because of choir, my teacher loved to play random songs before the bell rang. Gymnopedie and Clair de Lune are my favorite. I've always romanticized piano ever since I was 14 it always made my heart swell. It's so beautiful! A horrible experience almost ruined Gymnopedie for me, but I don't want to let that win, because I've always loved the song even before things happened.
Listening to you play now, I try to forget the present memory that hurts me, and try to recall my younger days instead. ^^
While this piece has been used in games before, it actually isn't used in Minecraft. The main reason people think it's from Minecraft is because Gymnopedie No.1 and the Minecraft soundtrack are what's known as 'Furniture music' or music that's played in the background which you're not supposed to pay attention to.
Plus, Gymnopedie No.1 and Minecraft's most well known song, 'Sweden', have a few similarities which could confuse listeners.
Same, this song and Clair de lune are absolute all time favorites and the romanticized piano bit at a young age.
i've heard it used in the arcana for the high priestess's realm :)
Were you classmates with FilthyFrank? Wth
I learned of it because of the disappearance of haruhi suzumiya but I knew of it's existence because such and I love music like this
I have this tune as a morning alarm , it makes me wake in the most possible peaceful way
"When you're happy you enjoy the song , but when your sad you understand it."
Ok but imagine this.
A young Russian soldier, after having lost all his friends and family in the war, walks alone in the snow. His bones are colder than the empty roads outside and he looks at all the bright windows and hears the sound of sweet lullabies coming from them and yearns for a place or a person he also could call home, where he could curl up in warmth and cry. Cry for all the things he wasn't ever given, for all the things he lost. In fact all he needed was to feel even one second of warmth, but even that wasn't given.
Yeah. Crying for all the things he wasn't ever given. I mean I may be a cry baby and a bit selfish, but I don't think it's bad to cry sometimes for how bad you have it. No matter how privileged, everyone wishes they had more some times.
Poetic xD
Man , your imagination is deep. What I imagine while listening to this song is every thing around which I loved the most . Memories of childhood , things that I wanted , dreams I wanted to come in real life , every one of them , getting lost in this cut throat world . Shattering around me and getting into my flesh and making me realise WHAT I HAVE LOST . Things far more expensive than money . And in the end of the song you realise that you have survived for so much time but you NEVER LIVED IT .
Thanks if you are still reading this .
This guy is definitely a sad slav boi
@@creativeusername5867 I won't call it a slave but life is tough man . There is so much competition . I am from India which is 2 highest in population levels . The competition is so tough that even for become a employee in a small company people have to clear highest level of education . The small wages work like being a watchmen or a cleaner is normal for engineers who study cleared their engineering from renounced college . More over I've just completed my high school ( till 10 ) and have to choose a carrier like medical or non medical for +1 and +2 . I am stuck , what to do . Pressure is building up . I guess it is common for people stuck in situation like mine
This piece is not happy or sad. It’s in between, maybe similar to just living life. It also seems like a rainy day at dusk.
EDIT: Thanks for the likes! 😁
Neutral
@@sodacity6609 i would say, realistic.
Lent et Douloureux, painfull is the word Satie describes the piece and interpreters takes as metrics
Basically minecraft
You might be feeling this way because the first chord is g Major 7, so it’s playing g Major and b minor at the same time. Major 7 chords tend to have a melancholy feel
1988: this music is beautiful
2023: minecraft
Ni triste, ni feliz. Lo que me ofrece al escuchar esta melodia es tranquilidad.

(This is minecraft related, and this happened to my online minecraft pals it went from “Cya” to *Last Active : 2 Years ago* ...and let me explain why “hotel”, why did I choose hotel? Well me and my old friends wanted to build a hotel for our village on an old server, it was going to be for new people joining our little town full of houses made by me and my friends, we had currency and everything like rules of course. Getting kicked out for stealing and griefing and that’s it. Also it’s NOT blockheads... (I’ve never heard of that game). ) ( Also I know the song is from Blockhead but I’m just saying that this *reminds* me of the Minecraft!!)
what type of kid builds a hotel wtf??
Me. (Ps4 Littlelion585 wanna play minecraft)

Satie songs are mysteriously beautiful❤
this is the most melancholic song of all time
As a 13 year old who's piled with school work. Hearing this beautiful music now that was last heard when I was 7 comforted me so much I could cry. This is such a highlight of my year. Thank you.
Try not to let the school work get too much or you, there’s a lot ahead of you but you got it!
I just got home from college for break and heard this for the first time in years, just stumbled upon it in my recommended. Nearly cried myself
UA-cam’s algorithm is pretty amazing
Good luck with all your studies!
School work is good for you! Don’t forget, it’s for your future!
same here 😔
@Sophia Victoria Maria Merten I'm in yr 11, advanced, its hard
This channel is severely underrated. I love your videos!
Underrated!?! Rousseau's gotten 10,000 subscribers since I found him 2 weeks ago. 27,000 to 36,000. Rousseau... You deserve it.
Darnald Tramp lol I just ment that compared to other piano channels it's relatively small
Underrated? 2-3 Months, he already has million of views! Maybe my channel is underrated ?!
Branden2432 too underrated even though he’s gaining fast he deserve so much more
You do have a good channel lol
i can listen to this song at any time of the day and feel different emotions
This piece: *exists*
Everyone: I diagnose you with sense of _die_
same
Why even
I love this song. for me there's 3 fav. moonlight sonata, gymnopedie #1 and marriage d amour
Hmm yes always
@@keyboardbunny omg I know marriage d amour! I saw a video of someone playing it on kalimba! ill be right back and find it for you.
This is so sad. Alexa, play Gymnopedie no. 1
i asked alexa to play it and she didn’t so i had to put it on a playlist and play the playlist so i could hear this 💀
@@victorialiani6326 my Alexa let's me play it.
Sure
What piano is this?

This song is the definition of how I felt on Valentines day
This song reminds me of my piano teacher who we lost earlier this year. Her name was Moly Costello she was 88 and died of a brain tumour. She will forever be in my heart and all her pupils.🖤💙❤️
sorry for your loss, I’m sure she lived a happy full filling life, she’s in a better place now.
i'm so sorry for your loss. she must have been a great teacher, and she's somewhere better now
@Chloe Chen thank you it is much appreciated
Music can bring people together in so many unexpected ways. You teacher is probably playing piano up there now. R.I.P
Losing people I know is the most terrifying thought for me. My previous and current piano teachers are definitely the kind of people I would not want to be taken away from, since they are both amazing people. I am really sorry for your loss, it must had been so hard for you. I hope you are happy now, so that you make your teacher even prouder. Have a good night (or day, it's 23:11 here in Greece).

Viste el video de Jaime altozano
Cuando vi esta melodía se me vino esta frase
Entendi esa referencia.jpg

"Y eso implica muchas cosas"
Vienes del vídeo de Jaime Altozano verdad?😂
This piece feels peaceful, then it turns dark or sad, but then it goes back. I feel as if this piece really just expresses all the emotions we feel into one song. It’s a beautiful piece, and I wish to play it soon. Wonderful cover Rousseau
When I was 5, I heard this song on roblox, a sonic rp game to be exact, but I could never find it, 9 years later I finally found it via another UA-camr, and this brings a tear to my eye, as I recall all my childhood memories, (as I know, the game was deleted) thank you, and to you, reading this comment, you might have something you lost, like a memory, a belonging, or a person, but never let go of that determination to get it back, and I hope you have a wonderful year.
Wow that was corny, but I still wish you a good year, good luck finding that lost something, and thank you for staying around for my small chat.
DISCLAIMER: IF YOUR LOST SOMEONE IS DEAD, DO NOT PERFORM NECROMANCY OR WITCHCRAFT, NOT TO PROTECT YOU, BUT IT DOESN'T WORK, TRUST ME, I'VE TRIED.
This song gives me that feeling of
"I've had a very long day and for some reason the world feels against me, everywhere I turn, but at this point I've accepted it."

Dude you have just described what i feel exactly
Whenever I hear this, I always picture myself looking out of a window to a gloomy and rainy day 😇
And sighing contentedly.
Yooo deadass. And just sitting there with the person you love
I picture myself hitting a tree to collect wood
I picture myself walking in the rain with nothing in the middle of nowhere...
Fun.
Where you can only feel content. Peaceful.
This is the most beautiful thing hve heard. Struggled over 10 years looking for this song as a kid
Eu amo essa música, ela me traz uma paz inexplicável.
Nossa, sim!
Ela é tão perfeita e impecável.
tbm sinto isso
When I hear this song, I always imagine myself in New York in one of my apartment building, on the first floor. Looking out the window and seeing the gloomy and rainy sky. It also evokes many emotions like the sorrows of life.
nice ending line you should get into literature like poetry and book writing
me too but with paris
Makes me think of wandering in nature while it’s overcast.
sounds like the morning after she left
i hope ur doing ok I shouldn't have read this comment😞
Haruhi... :c
i hope ur doing ok
After she left for good...
Endless driving after a love affair.
This feels like a life where everything is calm, or boring. Maybe even staring out the window as you watch the clouds, sitting in a classroom. Simple and boring. Not having any friends as you keep yourself company in a garden, sky gazing. Seemingly happy with that life you have as it is calm, not eventful at all. It puts you at ease. Simple yet beautiful.
She was lost in her beautiful music as was I
Fantastic x
the beginning of this song is the most heavenly thing i’ve ever heard
When your mom forgets to sign the permission slip 😢
OMG THX U SO MUCH I FORGOT TO ASK HER TO SIGN ONE YOUR A LIFE SAVER
When you forgot to tend to your kid...
cell 20527 when your mom forgets you

this song is the representation of rain, your sad when you want to be and relaxed when you want to be and this song helps you do that
When I close my eyes and listen to this it puts me too sleep so fast. I focus on the charp notes. It sounds like two people playing the piano together in harmony. it's beautiful.
Had to put down my cat, my best friend 2 days ago.. was okay and this song set me over the edge crying again. Idk why. Fuck I miss my cat.
Sorry for your loss...
You make me sad now.. how dare you.
Sorry for your loss. Cats just become part of the family
My sincere condolences. I never get over the loss of a cat...forever miss them
shut the fuck up
I adore this song. Though it makes me sad because it is always played at sad parts in movies.
Nah bruh this is what plays when you're deadass mining some diamonds in minecraft
@Kiramekki gymnopedie is not in minecraft however there is a quite similar song called "Sweden"
400TH LIKERRR
