    For some reason I think this piece is what nostalgia sounds like. Not necessarily sad, but not quite happy either. Something in between, and a bit of both.

      @@simianto9957 it depends where do you look at the work. generally, the album is completely melancholy, but the perspective of how the victim manages to rescue purely from an important fragment of memory, that's nostalgia. which has to do with what he said.

    Whoever had the genius idea of combining Gymnopèdie with Eduard Cortes’ paintings, deserves to win the Internet. There are now enough of these videos for it to be a thing.
    Cortes’ lived a long life and I love how you can see the growth of Paris through his paintings; from horse drawn carriages to sleek 1950s Buicks. If you look closely, in almost every picture there is a woman and a young girl (who grows into a young lady in later pictures) waking side by side. They were his wife and daughter.
    I had the pleasure of visiting Paris for the first time last summer. I was excited, but having heard so much about it all my life, I expected it to be nice but underwhelming. I couldn’t have been more wrong. I absolutely loved Paris. And contrary to the stereotype, the vast majority of Parisians were lovely people. Thank you Satie, thank you Cortes and thank you for to the righteous people on UA-cam for posting these beautiful collages. It makes me think of the city I’m now in love with.

    Melancholy... Life is strange. The more happy moments you have, the more you feel sad that those moments are gone. But, most of all, you lived them! And this is the kind of music that brings up some melancholy, because you don't have those moments anymore, but you were lucky enough to had the chance to live them. Sad and happy, at the same time, for a time that passed by.

    A long time ago, when I was around 13 years old, my Dad passed away and I became an orphan and went to an orphanage because I had no other relatives that could take care of me. When I turned 18 I left the orphanage and felt completely lost. No money, no job, no perspective. In my own city except for social workers I didn't know anyone. And I came back to live in the same old apartment where I used to live poor with my father. I remember him skipping meals and pretending like he is not hungry just so he could put more food on my plate. Then soon one day I came across a photo - it was me standing in front of our building smiling but with my hand out trying to tell the person who was taking the photo not to do it, but I was clearly happy. And I tried so hard to remember when the photo was taken and who took it but I just couldn't. When I listen to Satie I always think about that photograph and that boy, I am now almost 32 years old and Satie's music makes me dream of having a conversation with my younger self. I would love to tell that boy that it's ok to cry, it's ok miss your Dad so much that you don't won't to share that feeling with anyone, you want to keep it to yourself, that it's ok to feel lonely. I would love to tell him all that and much, much more..

    I used to listen to this religiously when I lived in Las Vegas. In a way it's kind of like Paris (it even has it's own "Paris"), the bright lights, the cultural aspects, the decadent food and night life. I don't live there anymore, sadly, but this piece, especially the last part, makes me feel so happy that I had the time there that I did. I know I'll never relive that time again, but as long as I have the memories, I'm so content. Sweet memories that I'll cherish forever.

    The Strange thing about the Gymnopédies is that it's meant to be background music; heard but not listened to.

At this moment in history, we today have been pummelled by many global events in our lifetimes, viewed from our own living rooms - events that have rendered us needful of his insight.

I personally don't know any household classical music that has come across AS deliberately unique, catchy/memorable and universally impactful SINCE this era (late 1800s/early 1900s).

    Quede viuda hace un año y escuchar esta pieza es lo que me transporta con mi amor eterno, a otra dimensión, estamos ahí, los dos juntos, nada nos separa, todo es posible…
    Cómo si una suave brisa acariciara mi ser y pudiera casi acariciarlo de vuelta, mi alma se regocija…
    La melancolía y la tristeza llenan mi cuerpo y al mismo tiempo, mi alma se engrandece, ya que me siento menos ajena en este mundo a veces tan cruel. Por que aunque esté rodeada de personas, al mismo tiempo me siento sola…
    Mis felicitaciones al maestro, excelente pieza!!!

    I remember when I used to work at a little dive bar called Lenny's in midtown Manhattan, back in the early 1980's. There was an ancient upright piano in the back corner and every so often, Erik Satie would come in for a couple beers after his shift as a city bus driver. Usually after his 2nd or 3rd beer (if I'm recalling correctly, he was a pilsner man, but don't quote me on this), he'd wander back to the piano in the corner (it was kinda out of tune but good enough) and he'd start plinking around. I'd serve the other customers or wipe down the bar or whatever menial tasks a barkeep has to do, but always with my ear tuned in to Erik plinking around on that little piano in the back. With hindsight being 20/20 and all, it's clear now that he was slowly composing Gymnopedia 1 at our humble little tavern, taking inspiration from the surroundings, and his experiences driving New Yorkers all over town on that big city bus. Memories man. You just never know when history is (literally) writing itself before your eyes.

    This music is featured in the documentary “Man On Wire” about Philippe Petit walking on tight rope between the 2 WTC towers in 1977. Movie is about Philippe’s passion and how he fell in love w the process itself, mastering the craft. Him and his close friends dedicated years to this task and the masterpiece was when he walked between the WTC towers.
    It’s about achieving your full potential, that inside u know u were created for this, and how it can be a spiritual experience. It’s about fulfilling ur “purpose”. Philippe and his friends fell in love w the process rather than focusing on the outcome itself. Finally when they saw it come to fruition and how much awe and inspiration it created, they were overcome w joy and a spiritual awakening.
    It’s also about how he fell in love w the WTC towers. Gymnopédie No. 1. Such beautiful music. May we all find our passion one day. R.I.P. to all that were lost on 9/11. 🙏

    This has to be one of my favourite pieces of classical music. Whenever I listen to it I become nostalgic for everything I've done and experienced in life, and reading these comments I can see that I'm not the only one who has had this experience. Never underestimate the power and beauty of music, my friends. It can uplift you, break you and calm you in just a matter of seconds.

    This song has added depth to my life, and I can be nothing but grateful that Satie wrote this piece.

    Stunning music. The pictures of art make you feel like you are there back in time in Paris.

    I came for the music, to help me study, but got mesmerized by the art. Thank you!

    Imagine time travelling back to this time, Paris, and putting this on your headphones while walking around the streets in a light rain

    The melody is so soft yet packs a powerful emotional punch 😢. The pianist put their heart into every note 👏👏👏

    These pieces mean a lot to me but i don't know how or why. It just makes me miss someone or somewhere that i've never known. Not gonna get tired or sick of listening these, thanks 🖤

    We live in such troubled, uncertain times, everything we once knew has been turned on it’s head, leaving me feeling nostalgic for our past. This music and the accompanying video conjures up a time which I have never personally experienced but somehow it seems familiar and beautiful.

    This piece makes me feel grateful. It’s simple, yet complex, sad, yet happy. I think back to family and friends, long since passed and feel ever grateful for what I have now.🙏🏻

    Beautiful sharing. The paintings complete the music so elegant, and underlines the mood. Thanks for so many emotional sharings. That is just what it is, in my mind, emotional.

    Las imágenes de Edouard Cortes son una combinacion acertada, mis respetos al que las eligio para servir de "cuadros de fondo" , me comunican con una actividad vital parisina detenida en el tiempo, al escuchar estas notas le resucitan por unos momentos
