After mom and dad broke up my dad got depressed, for a while the house was a mess, mom took almost everything from the house, and all he would do is sleep the pain away and listen to this song. About 5 to 6 years pass by and he got married again, the house was back in shape and my dad was happy again. One day while we were in a long car drive together alone, he told me about how miserable he was all those years ago when me and my little brother were young after the break up, and he showed me this special song, and how much it calms him when he hears it. When I put this song while he is laying down or sitting he can't help but close his eyes and rest, probably because it reminded him of how much he used to listen to this song in that period of time. To this day i still listen to this song from time to time, and it reminds me of my wonderful dad... The sad thing is... I can't shake off the feeling of when he dies, I'll be listening to this song while mourning his death. just like how he mourned my mom...

It is funny how everyone comment "this song is about.." and then they write their most intense internal feelings. Maybe this song is about a mirror.

Nasıl bir melodidir ki; hem en mutlu hem en hüzünlü anılarınızı aynı anda size hatırlatsın, yeniden yaşatsın, sonsuz bir duygu evreninde sizi gezdirsin... Normal insan işi değil...Delilik böyle bir şey olmalı...

It is actually so difficult to describe the feelings that produces me this masterpiece. I describe this song as sadness, loss and tears just like some old memories. But also it makes me feel like in my comfort zone, green garden with colored flowers, with a blue magic lake at the background and a soft breeze hiting my face.

It's strange that all the people who listen to this masterpiece have the same feeling about it but no one can describe it

You cannot produce a new color with your mind. But with this masterpiece, you can feel emotions that you have never felt before...

Ruhumuzu okşayan bu güzel parça çok çok özel! Antalya 🇹🇷Türkiye den tüm Dünyaya daki müziği kalbinle dinleyenlere selamlar❤

J'ai vécu 35 ans â PARIS,cette musique me fait penser à Montmartre, également des quartiers magnifiques dans le 20 ème aux alentours du métro Danube avec leurs petites maisons, c'était une époque merveilleuse que j'ai eu la chance de connaître

My father was a surgeon in a small town in Veracruz, Mexico. At a time when there were only two surgeons in that city. He sometimes suffered from a lot of stress and this music calmed his soul. I remember once he told me that when I had to face a discussion with others: wife, colleagues, etc., I should listen to this music before speaking. I couldn't do this, but this music reminds me of my father.

When the end of the world comes, this will be the song playing in the background..

There should be a country, an island or a world that gathers only people who listen to such masterpieces ❤

Gözlerini kapatıp dinlediğinde yalnızlığın ve çaresizliğin sesini hüznünü ne yazık ki çaresi bulunmamış bir hastalığın son günleri buluyorsun. 45 yaşında beyin tümöründen vefat eden abim gelir aklıma şimdi ondan daha büyüğüm.

"Don't bend; don't water it down; don't try to make it logical; don't edit your own soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly." -Franz Kafka

The music of that quiet, little, nagging feeling that something isn't right.

Savaşta vucutları parcalanmış çocuklar geliyor aklıma, anne ve babasının tarifsiz acısı. Aşk için gösterdiğimiz budala duyguları bir kenara bırak dünya

I'm a working girl and right now I'm walking down the street at 3am all alone, and listening to this keeps me calm, aware and present. Its like I have a good friend walking right next to me.

"Yaşamı anlamak için yaş kırka gelmeli, derlerdi, işte geldim geçtim, yine yaşamı anlayamadım." -Eric Satie

bu huzursuzluk meyvesini vermeli artık!!!

I can't describe what i feel when i listen to this masterpiece ,it's somthing from another world or another life ,maybe this nocture somehow belong to my past life

This melody reminds me of a mirror, like a mirror that reveals every emotion in front of us. The melody is neither too sad nor too happy, there is no middle ground, but it is still meaningful.

It's like you can play this melody to a newborn to calm down and fall asleep, for someone in their 20ies drinking alone in the bar realising the difficulty of adulthood, for a middle aged couple that no longer finds each other in every day routine but remembers why they fell in love with each other while kids are at grandparents and this is song could also be something to be played for a person lying on their deathbed scrolling through their life in the head

there is a feeling of fear in this song, anxiety almost, yet the calmest feeling ever. It’s difficult to explain.

It is not a feeling of sadness. Nor desolation. It's a kind of reflective nostalgia. It absorbs you into a nirvana of peace.

This masterpiece makes me feel nostalgic for a life I never experienced. I seriously miss those nonexistent days…

“A river cuts through rock, not because of its power, but because of its persistence.”

"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken." ------ Oscar Wilde Irish poet

In a world so full of war,pain and hate it's easy to forget humans are capable of such outstanding beauty

Hüzün ve huzuru icinde barındıran muhteşem bir eser.

"Sanattan anlayacaksınız! Hepinize bunu anlatacağım!" -Entel Feridun

*This song have a mysterious aura around it, and i like it*

Gitmek isteyip gidememek, kalmak isteyip kalamamak, sevmek isteyip sevememek, kısacası arada kalmışlığın, ruhlarımızın sıkışmışlığının şarkısı...yaşam ve ölüm arasında...

Bu şahəsər o qədər mükemmelki insanın bütün hissləri sanki qarışır, insan yaşadığı hissi sözlərlə ifadə etməyə çətinlik çəkir

Yıllar sonra yine bu esere gelen birileri mutlaka olacaktır onlara selam olsun

"Çok tuhaftı, ağlayamadım. Ama ruhum paramparça olmuştu." -Dostoyevski

Clarity , sadness , melancholy , happiness , this masterpiece is the monalisa of music

Kitap okurken hafif kısık ses ile dinlenebilecek harikulade bir eser, bestekara çok müteşekkirim böyle bir eser için...

Huzur ve hüznün bu kadar iç içe olduğu bir diğer eser daha yok. Bu şaheser, insana hiç tadamayacağı duygular tattırıyor... Hüzünle dalıyorsun düşüncelere...

Studying, working out, relaxing, whatever. This is a soundtrack for life in general.

Muhteşem harikulade arada geliyorum dinlemeye Türkiye'den tüm müzik severlere selam

Bu muhteşem müziği dinledikten sonra acınası hayatıma dönebilirim

Böyle bir parçanın var oluşu bile mükemmel hissettiriyor

Ülkemde yaşanan felaketlerde yaşamını bir hiç uğruna yitiren herkesi bu şarkı ile anıyorum yüreğimde sadece acı var .

Anneme dinlettim ve hissettiklerini sordum; dedi ki.. (Atatürk'ü hatırlattı) İşte böyle entellektüel bir adamdı Atatürk :) Özlem ve Rahmetle Anıyoruz..

I feel calmness with a pinch of excitment at the same time. And I feel sadness and neutrality at the same time. I am thankful to come across this beautiful piece

Depremden saatler önce bu parçayı dinliyordum hayatımın en önemli parçası oldu

Hiçbir müzisyen bir duygunun başrolü olmadan böyle bir beste yapamaz. Uzaktan bakarak olmaz. Acısını çekmek zorunda. Bu beste sahibinin neler yaşadığını tahmin edemiyorum . Bir çok duygunun birleşimi. Terk edilmiş ve halinden mecburen memnun birinin duygusu gibi. Melodi keyifli gibi ama sanki ağlıyor.

This will be the song that will play in the background when the world ends

I love listening to this song and reading the comments. Greetings from Turkey

Satie looking like he's about to finally defeat Sherlock Holmes in that picture

Bunu dinlerken çok farklı şeyler hissediyorum yaşamın yoruculuğu, güzelliği, anlamının arayışını.

Cette mélodie représente bien le titre de ce morceau, la "gnose" une croyance pour certains en manque de repères, un mensonges pour d'autres...et puis finalement laisser place aux émotions, aux ressentis. Finalement il laisse croire ce que l'on veut, mais le plus important c'est qu'il laisse place au souvenir, à l'avenir, à l'amour d'une petite chose qui est la note de notre vie...une merveilleuse mélodie ou le temps s'arrête un instant ❤

This is love and grief combined' as grief is just love with nowhere to go!

Its wonderful seeing all the different languages here. Culture no longer has to do with where you're from, but where your heart takes you. I've never felt comfortable anywhere I've ever been, but listening to things like this make me feel like I'm at home.

I'm a painter, I'm bipolar, I'm alone, but this music describes the architecture of my soul, it reverberates within me and puts me in touch with truth,beauty and kindness.....

For me? I feel that it is the soul of the composer. His soul, expressing itself in music.

Merci Erik, c'est magnifique...

My life has become different after this song. How could I live 37 years without this?

The timing is incredible. He leaves you waiting, holding on... for that next note or phrase. Stunning.

Bu ruh sevgiden geçen adamların ruhu herşey aşkın sevginin gücüyle yapılmış..nasıl güçlü hislerle yaptılarsa bu işi onlarla tanışmayı çok isterdim tek kelimeyle Muhteşem muhteşem

Never felt alone while listening to this masterpiece ❤

This music feel like an old memory, a dream fading away the more you try remember it. It embodies the Era in which it was written, magnificent.

" The musician is perhaps the most modest of animals , but he is also the proudest . It is he who invented the sublime art of ruining poetry . " Erik Satie

Müzik sanki bu hayatta ki anlam arayışı içinde.Kaybolmamamız için bize bahşedilen sessiz çığlıklardır.Bence bir buluştan daha öte birşey bu notalar insanın dile getiremediklerinin bağıra çağıra anlatamadiklarinin sustuklarinin belki icten ice aglamalarinin urunleridir.

😍😍😍😍😍😍 i loooove this music😢😢😢😢😢

Duygularımı anlatmak için kelimeler kifayetsiz kalıyor bu muhteşem müziği dinlerken.

This song is about somebody who left the comfort of his home at young age in search for wisdom. After touring around the world, visiting every culture and seeing the lives of many people he decides to retire and head back to the comfort of his home. But when he comes back he finds the place unrecognizable. Everything has moved on. He feels the same way as he did when he visited a foreign country, nothing seems familiar. The buildings have changed, the roads have changed, the culture has changed, the people have changed. He longs for his past, but acknowledges he will never be there again. He feels lost for eternity, and still walks around slowly trying desperately to find any glimpse of the past.

Işte düşündüklerimi anlatamıyorum. Insanlar neden yaşıyor, hatda bazıları bu anlamsız hayatda anlam aramaya çalışması beni sevindiriyor aslında. Bilmiyorum neden karamsarım, fakat çoğ şeye deyineceğim. Toplum mesela fazla aptalca. Insanlarin en ufak yanlışlarında hayat be demesi zaten cahillik. Hayat zor değil zor olan insan. Çünki kendi anahtarı her zaman elinde ve bunun farkında değil. Hayat zor değil zor olan insanın kaderidir. Zor olan insanın korkularıdır. Düşünsene 1yaşında ölen bebek hayatın ne zorluklarını gö bilir ki? Işte bende onu soyluyorum. Bizler birer böceğiz. Sırf tanrının keyfine göre yaşıyoruz. Mesela guts, hayatı çok götüydü fakat o mücadele etmeyi seçdi. Çünki aptal hayatda bir anlam aramaya çalışdı. Belkide o anlam onu tatmin etmeyecekdi. Fakat o ne pahasına bunu öğrenmek istedi. Griffith e gelirsek oda haklı hayalleri uğrunda savaşıyordu. Inan bana Newton bile kendi buluşlarına engel çıkan olsaydı onuda öldürürdü. Işte insanlar ezik. Kafkanın dediği gibi🥱🥱🥱

There's something disturbing, sad and beautiful about this piece. A feeling you can't reproduce if you want to apply it to real life. Listening to this music, you'd think you were in another world.

Anyone who identifies with this piece, I love you

This song is a musical visualization of a mind struggling to contain itself before it is slowly descending into madness. On Loop

This music for me signifies struggle with hope, moving from dark times to extraordinary monumental success with the remembrance of of a previous life that is merely nothing but a memory being let go into the past.

What an outstanding comment section. Restores my faith in humanity.

It was a cold winter day. I took a train from St. Petersburg to Moscow... ~Sir Feridun

Gardaşım bu nasıl bir sanat. canını yiyim nota sanki her vurduğunda yüreğimdeki benim bile bilmediğim birkaç kişi ile arkadaş oluyor. eline sağlık Erik amca. gerçekten eline sağlık. yani ne diyeceğimi bilmiyorum ya...

This feels like a loved one has just died and you feel as if you should have been there for them and now it's too late and there is nothing you can do. This feels like a promising person who you adore and love turns out to be different than you thought. This feels like chasing your biggest goals and giving up, continuing life doing something less and reflecting on what could have been. This feels like breakup but you think you are in the wrong and not deserving of people.

Un día en mis clases de piano mientras todos nos íbamos mi profesor tocó esta canción para si mismo. Para mi fue una revelación, porque hasta ese momento no entendia lo que la música podía hacerte sentir. Era un mar de sensaciones, la nostalgia y un hundimiento me sobrecogieron. Cuando le pedí el nombre de la canción y yo la empecé a practicar por mi cuenta fue como aprender una nueva dimensión de las cosas, otra nueva perspectiva

Haunting melody gives me a chilling anxious feeling i feel as if im living in an old European city where the clouds are grey and its always raining i feel alone in this fantasy

We were just fooling around on another long night and this music suddenly played on the radio.. a friend of ours laughed and stated he wants this played at his funeral,- no one knew we had to fulfill his wish only a few months later..life is just a joke..

There comes a moment when you feel emptiness in your soul, but the worst part comes when you feel it in the very deep of your heart. The moment is now, and Satie is painting the emptiness in white. No grey is permitted.

This is my third year studying law, and Erik Satie's piece has been my constant companion. My good grades are all thanks to it.

Everytime I listen to this , there’s something that I can’t explain inside,something depressing,something haunted....

This feels like when all fails but theres something inside of you telling you it was meant to happen but you cant see the good in the bad yet

I don’t have anything interesting to say, as all the stories I read in the comments. I just can say that I felt desperate. As all the students feel when having to face finals from all different classes and there’s no time for anything. Because of this song I feel so calmed now. I did not solve anything, but at least this mysterious, indescribable song gave me tranquility.

şarkı yaşamı anlatıyor gibi. Başta çocukluk, umut dolusun, heyecanlısın birden gençliğe geliyosun ve bazı acılar yaşıyosun ama hayat hala güzel. yetişkinlik ve yaşlılıkta hayat artık seni yıpratıyor, yavaşlıyorsun, Ama hayat yine de güzel. Bu müzik hüzünle aynı zamanda mutluluğuda yansıtıyo ama bu acı şeyler yaşamış birinin mutluluğu, mutlu olmaya çalışan birinin mutluluğu gibi bir şey.

Tanıdığım en acımasız melodi. Kalbimi yerinden sökebilecek kadar derin

I find myself not being able to wait for the next note. A feeling of couriousness and anxiety. As i can not wait any long. Its wonderful

I was driving on Lyngby-highway towards Österbro Copenhagen, it was November 2017, rainy, cold and dark skies, as always here in the north, where autumn steals the daylight from around (16) 4 to (17) 5 pm. I'm listening to talk radio P1 and the host said he wanted a piano sonata to play on the radio because he used it to gather strength on a rough day like this - I've never forgotten the moment

Gnossienne No.1, makes me feel like I am ln the late eighteen hundreds. Living In a large mansion out in the country all by myself. Woods surrounding my mansion, the heavy winds whispering and wailing, as the rain creates a significant ambiance that adds to the crackling of the fire in front of me. This piece plays echoing through the hallways and rooms as I stare into my wood-burning fire as I deeply reflect on my past being a fifty-nine-year-old man. My two Irish wolfhounds lying beside me and my hand-crafted leather and wood recliner. In the fireplace room, the paintings on the wall feel to have their eyes glued onto me when I am not looking back.

This song puts in tune all of life's misery, anxiety, regrets, and tragedy. Periodically intervening musically to take you back to the carnival that is your mind.

this is quite unsettling but I keep coming back and listening to it. It inspires an existential crisis for me.

Bu şarkıyı gözyaşı, hüzün ve kayıp ama aynı zaman da rahatlık, güzellik ve arındırıcı rahatlama olarak tanımlıyorum. Ruhunuzun derinliklerinde titreşen ve yaratıcı bir patlamayı uyandıran bir tür kıvılcım.

“Bir insanın yalnızlığı üzerine söylenecek o kadar söz vardır ki! O kadar büyüktür ki yalnızlık. O kadar kalabalıktır ki. Dünyayı dolduran canlılardan uzak bir hayat yaşamak ya da binlerce bedenin arasında olup hiçbirini dinlemeden ilerlemek.”

This music is like waiting for a strong storm that hasnt arrived yet. The sky is gloomy and thunder stricken. The wind is strong and with it you can feel a few drops of rain on your skin. The worst is yet to come. But after storm, thee will be light and better days.

Une musique qui vous apporte le calme et la méditation

I completed my first two novels with this music looping on my headphones. Without the music, the words and mood on the page didn’t flow with the same feeling.

Life feels like a simulation nowadays, being stocked inside an artificial cocoon. Constantly busy with the fight to fit in, while daydreaming of a different reality. A reality where love, kindness and loyalty, comes before position. Music is the closes thing that exists to travel time, thank you for uploading this masterpiece 💭

If limbo were a train station, this would be played over the loud speakers of the platform. People would sit on the benches waiting for a train that never arrives reading blank newspapers and smoking unlit cigarettes. For eternity...

Resonates with my soul

bu musiqini dinləyəndə ağlıma müharibə, türkiyədəki zəlzələ, və bütün dünyanı dərk etməyə çalışan amma bir məna çıxara bilməyən bir insan gəlir, həmin insan mənəm

Erik was a sad man. So misunderstood. So underrated…. But, his art; when he was on his dark brown piano… when he played, he got lost in his own work…. Erik had a lot of outbursts because people did not react to his creations the way he wanted them to - the way they truly had to…. People take items like LSDs to help them escape reality and all, but Erik always experienced that with his music….This song… This masterpiece - why do you think it makes multiple people feel different emotions when they listen to it? … When you listen to it when you are sad, you feel sadder (but not really in a bad way).. and when you listen to it when you are happy, you feel happier ( but in a different way)… when I sit on my floater in the middle of my pool at night, and just… stare at the beautiful stars in the sky… With the breeze gently blowing upon my skin… as I get lost in my thoughts, with this song playing in the background, I get transported to a different place… A safe place…. Guys, Erik figured out something people in his time could not understand. This piece will forever be a masterpiece to me….. If I get many likes, I’ll tell you guys a story this song many me think of.
