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

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.

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...

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...

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

bu huzursuzluk meyvesini vermeli artık!!!

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 ❤

Bu muhteşem müziği dinledikten sonra acınası hayatıma dönebilirim

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.....

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.

I am not going to lie, when I will say that I have shed a tear when I listened to this masterpiece. It's harmony is indescribeable, every sound, every note, it goes well and it just gets better as you listen to it. It's emotions written directly into sounds. I am in awe.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

Hüzün ve huzuru icinde barındıran muhteşem bir eser.

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

Depremden saatler önce bu parçayı dinliyordum hayatımın en önemli parçası oldu

This masterpiece puts me in a complicated mood. I open it in a happy moment and get lost in happy thoughts. I open it in a sad moment and my sadness is literally replaced by questioning. I love it

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.

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

Duygularımı anlatmak için kelimeler kifayetsiz kalıyor bu muhteşem müziği dinlerken.

i personally think this song is about the love your parents have for you. For someone is so fast you can’t even experience it. But for others is sad, because the parents don’t spend much time of theirs with the person. So this masterpiece is narrating how it’s fast but it’s also sad. Love that.

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.

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.

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

One of the few pianists to communicate his own soul through music. That's why this is so powerful. Because of the connection to his story.

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.

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

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.

Awesome song, an indescriptible complexity of feelings: nostalgia, regrets, some kind of fear and despair, though also calm resignation, even hope, enchantment, gratitude. The pure human condition facing its fate and mortality. It puts you so deeply into meditation...

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.

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.

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.

Yarın bu saatlerde askerde olacağım. Bu yorumu yıllar sonra görürüm umarım

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.

Evrenin idrak edilemez büyüklüğünü ve oluşumunu düşünürken her zaman aklımın bir köşesinde çalan parça, gerçekten mükemmel.

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

this song plagued my mind for years on end, id say almost a decade. only a rabbit hole youtube video who credited it gave me the relief and fufillment i had been looking for in finding the tune i had playing in my head like a continuous ballet dancer music box. years i replayed the melody in my mind, id wake up to it in my head, no thoughts just the churning sound. its a haunting yet beautiful tune. almost as if it wasnt meant to be played at all, yet here it stands. it reminds me of bambi, and at the same time Botticelli's artwork. a culmination of pain sorrow and beauty of life.

I describe this song as tears,sadness and loss but also comfort, beauty and cleansing relief.A sort of spark that flickers deep in your soul awakening a creative burst.

This is my favorite piece of music.

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

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

Anyone who identifies with this piece, I love you

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.

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

one of the most straightforward masterpieces that is difficult to describe. Simple tones that easily travel through the soul can easily induce ecstasy.

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 💭

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

Nici n-am cuvinte sa descriu magnitudinea acestei capodopere🤘 Hello everyone!!!

My grandmother introduced me to Satie when I was 8 or 9 years old. More than 40 years ago. Since then I carry those tunes in my heart. I could listen to Satie every day and still it moves my innermost soul every single time.

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

The person who listens to this music cannot be bad, regardless of her race.

This is a masterpiece, like a piece made for me to unleash my full potential. I never get bored. great job

Tanıdığım en acımasız melodi. Kalbimi yerinden sökebilecek kadar derin

I can’t put my finger onto what exactly I’m feeling when listening to this piece of art. It takes you to another place, a mountain hill top where the sky’s covered in grey heavy clouds, cold wind blowing in your face, a little mist of rain freshens up your face, you close your eyes, feel the overgrown grass underneath your feet, a teardrop flows down your cheek, you wrap your arms around yourself, let out a deep breath, waiting for a storm to come but you’re not scared, it’s comforting in a way.. you’ve accepted what’s to come, good or bad. You’re not in control and that’s relaxing and comforting to your soul. You feel at peace with yourself. You feel closer to god. You found something that was missing your whole life and that’s being at peace with your soul. You feel connected to it. All those worst times, confusing moments, losing your loved ones, getting betrayed, failed relationships, failed expectations, lack of appreciation, heart breaks, were meant to take place to finally force you to take a break from all the madness, from the chaotic world and selfish people. You’re alone in this race of life. Relax your mind. Give your body a break. You’ve done enough to please others. It’s time to do what feels right to your soul. Let loose. Let things flow. Breathe.

I sent this piece to many friends asking them about their emotional reaction / & what emotion this piece evokes. And every single one gave a completely different answer/emotion. It could be based on their current personal emotions but this piece is definitely very mysterious and deep that the general emotion cannot be pinpointed

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

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.

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..

yıllardır dinliyorum , eskimiyor . müthiş bir eser.

May this incredible masterpiece and splendid composer never be forgotten.

Böyle bir parçanın var oluşu bile mükemmel hissettiriyor

Dinlerken bir yandan hüzünlenip bi yandan rahatlıyorum böyle mükemmel bir şey olabilir mi ya?

Piekne dzielo , slucham go jako natchnienia kiedy tworze ... Wyycisza mnie , uspokaja nastraja pozytywnie ❤

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

I just had knee surgery yesterday. I thought I knew what pain was. This song is the only thing that comforts me right now.
