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.

Wonderful thought...how about we become the spirit things we love, like the sound of music, a string of notes, or we are the love of our pets, and we change places with dog thoughts, and human thoughts happen in the memory of a nuzzle, a tongue lick, smiles are in wags, and hands the memory of paws, and meeting hands sees what used to be touch, surrounded by warm pants of rhythmic breathing, and after longing and desire, there's....eternally throwing the ball until we dream of sleep.

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, KZbin recommended this music and I clicked without knowing what was in store. 😊 Till day I am overjoyed to have found this music. 😊

Stillness, Quietitude, Silence, no words needed.

J'écoute cette symphonie, quand je me sens d'humeur morose. J'ai 34 ans. La vie passe tellement vite 🎠

[@aragorn618]

Les gymnopédies ne sont pas une symphonie . Ce sont des valses lentes .

We're in Rome, staying in an apartment just steps away from the Vatican. This music brings tears to my eyes.

Same in Istanbul, in front of a mosque and the Bosphorus

❤wonderfull. Classic Songs never die, they are forever. Make me thinking, relaxing and my heart full of Love ❤ thank you for sharing here.

[@guinnberger9356]

Without the internet I would never have discovered the titles and the name of the composer of the _Gymnopedies_ ... because people used to play _Gymnopedie I_ very frequently on the radio when I was young ... and they _NEVER_ announced the title or the composer. Possibly THEY were ignorant of the information. I do so appreciate the advantages of this modern age...!

[@eversostrange6337]

It's more likely because it's world renown and needed no introduction to the conisure I suppose but if tech is used right it's capable of getting good info into the right heads

[@theonemrtom101]

@@eversostrange6337 but what about the people hearing it for the first time ever and the non conisures?

[@dickynichols9459]

I have been searching for this piece of music by eric satie for years. Thank you for an uninterrupted loop of this beautiful music.

[@bobshanks8836]

Me too!...think it was used for a silk cut cigarette advert on TV ,tried ,without success ,to find it,not knowing the name of the piece or composer

[@SeriousBoe]

Great to listen to by the sunset. The best quality audio I could find on KZbin.

Very relaxing wonderful nature benches are best with with people sitting on them and appreciating both . Not empty. I've rescued some of my childhood nature. I put in a few benches for the old folks that love the place and can't walk far . The have earned a place to sit and enjoy watching life go bye before they go . Empty benches just reminds me of them

[@Le_Lys]

Merci de me faire découvrir M. Satie, c'est juste magnifique, vraiment ! 👏👌

[@phx4closureman]

*Amazing how a song as beautiful as this can make even a bunch of OLD (some not so old) benches seem so interesting and serene!!!*

[@grittakuhlmann8927]

Tolle Musik, tolle Bilder, schöne Landschaft,schöne Bänke 😊

[@carlalv7717]

[@marklockstone2209]

[@anthonyjyearwood816]

Soothing. Just what's needed to comfort one during these very troubled times...

Éric Satie ou la symphonie de la vie, d un amour inconditionnel ❤❤❤

[@jonwalsh3580]

Erik satie knew how to appreciate the small things

[@birdonthehorizon]

Been listening since the mid-60s. Just now it's helping me clean out the desk drawers.

[@rogercordell2667]

This is one of my favs.me n my wife every night play this to fall asleep to.❤

[@poppykitten6138]

I brush my cat to this. He loves it. 🐾

[@shanecovey1901]

I understand the empty bench. My soul cries for the longing of friendships long dead. The empty bench stings longing for things and people I left behind . The haunting memories of friendships dead but we both still live. A hope rings in the chords of memory that those memories live and can be reconstituted. Another miralce that makes perfect sense.

Close, but no cigar.

[@tonyhunt5903]

As an amateur photographer I was always fascinated by public benchs. Now alas I have been badly effected by depression and I have been looking for some sort of peace of mind and this is the most powerful and beautiful piece I came across. It brought tears but not sad tears and lit a spark that may inspire me to create something with my own photos, and dare I wish go and take more.

[@davidesaraino4324]

This melody take me back to my childhood. I don't know why. But make me feel nostalgic of something that i lost.

[@graemesmith3000]

IF MY CAT TAMMI GETS TOO BOISTEROUS I PUT THIS ON AND SHE LIES DOWN BY MY FEET AND GOES TO SLEEP. WE BOTH LOVE CLASSICAL MUSIC.
