    I sometimes think that the symphonic orchestra is the greatest musical invention of the human race.

      What one may experience is that Great Art conquers Time, while we can't. Even as we cry out to Time, 'stay', it does not stay. But in Art, Time does stay. It is not a 'becoming', it is a Being. We are a lack, we can't hold on to ourselves in the passage of Time, but Classical Art remains in its suchness. That's why people cry when seeing the Duomo or hear Satie and such. Something like that.

      What about the acoustic guitar?
      - Lightweight
      - Easy to tune and maintain
      - Serves as a solo or accompanying instrument
      - Affordable
      - Can help you find a mate

      My first cell phone had a version of this song on it and i used to listen to it all the time. I’ve spent 10 years looking for it thinking it was a Nokia stock song and only just found it again yesterday. It is the single most nostalgic thing I’ve ever experienced. Such a beautiful song and it means so much to me despite just having found it again.

      That's why it's a masterpiece, it's a very simple bit of music and yet it evokes so much emotion in lots of people that hear it.

    I cry every time I hear #1. It reminds me of my children's father and the happiness we once had. It's also what we played on our children's baby swing to get them to sleep when they were newborns. It is just so lovely and full of longing and takes me back to some of the best memories in my life. 💔😔

      He is one of those artist, whom's music leaves me dumbfounded. I cannot comprehend how they arrived at their point of inspiration, it does not seem derived from anything, but truely original. This is, of course, a result of my own subjective ignorance. Still, in my opinion, evoking this impression is the best justification for earning the label 'genius'.

    When I hear Saties's music I feel like im one of those warm Friday evenings. And while I aprecciate the godly nature which surrounds me I watch the sun finally succumb to give space to the vast and deep purple sky. Also sometimes Satie's composition makes me feel like im actually part of something far greater, yet im not sure what do I mean.

    I became familiar with this music after finding a short film from 1953 on TH-cam. The film is titled "New York - 1953 / The Man: Dan Alevy". My Wife wanted to hear the music again today and all I could find were piano only versions. The film used an orchestral version like the one you have provided us. In my opinion this is the only way to truly enjoy it's beauty. Thank you, I "liked" and am now a subscriber.

Na verdade é a melhor coisa que já existiu, se sentir parte de uma orquestra, com vários instrumentos, com várias sinfonias, uma música indescritível, uma sensação transmitida que não posso falar em palavras, mas cada instrumento fala uma palavra, cada toque me conta uma história, algumas parecidas e outras diferentes mas sempre únicas, sinto mais do que esses sentimentos ouvindo essa orquestra, mas acho que guardarei eles para uma futura nostalgia!
