Satie - Gymnopédie No. 1

[@Rousseau]

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.

[@MauveEclipse]

Satie actually wrote some most "simple" pieces and yet they are absolutely gorgeous

[@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan]

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.

[@smallw1991]

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.

[@GnosisJapan]

Not only listened, but played. I'm learning it right now, it's incredibly easy.

[@jeanlot]

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

[@ravenchain85]

This isn't true. Satie referred to three specific sets of his compositions as "furniture music." None of those were Gymnopédies.

[@jldragongames]

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

[@Solitaire001]

​@@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 wish I could thank Erik Satie a thousand times for this beautiful piece that inspired my love for piano.

@@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

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.

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.

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. ^^

[@SJohann]

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.

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.

But since I am still learning psychology, I tend to make many mistakes. One of them is forgetting how people experience the same things in a different way. Once again, I apologise for being an ass. I truly hope that you are managing your depression effectively. I only become depressed during the winter, when I usually exercise daily, eat healthy, taking vitamins and visiting psychotherapist, but all of that helps just a little. Depends on the day.

Everything_Nerdy When it’s something from the past that comforts you, it’s pretty much like it can never get old. I can listen to this for ever. I’ve listen to it for hours and yet doesn’t get a minute old. This song also makes me quite nostalgic, although I just finished my first year of High School, it reminds me when I was in Eight grade. For me, they were golden memories that slipped by with me even noticing after months

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....

It reminds me of a sunny warm morning at the country side with a little breeze through the grass and trees. It's very calming and peaceful with a little dull on the side.

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.

This song holds so many memories for me, I used to sit around all day listening to creepypastas and so many KZbinrs used this song in the background. It reminds me of when I had nothing to really worry about. This song is truly beautiful
