@fjf sjdnx At that time, when you were black, you were not killed on the street, you know. You were working hard somewhere for poor wages, 'cause here in France we were proud of having "abolished" slavery (I guess we have to see that slavery still exists today, but according to standards deemed "acceptable" by all these people who never care no matter the colour of their skins). If you were black, you probably would never have had the chance to walk these streets because all the work you had to carry out; I find there's something very similar today with the poor. By the way, the politicians are still very proud to say France is the country of the Human Rights, which is... a complete nonsense considering what life here is like. Anyway, I guess now I don't have to tell Pietro Channels that he should be wary of his wishes; I'm no Genie but the life at these paintings' times was far from idyllic when you didn't belong to the wealthy. It still isn't: don't go to Paris if you're poor. Living here as a poor worker or as a student is like being in a cage, which utterly prevents you from enjoying the good view. Something of note though: if you were a successful musician or painter, life could be ok. They lived in the poorest neighborhoods in Paris (Montmartre, you've all seen Amélie Poulain), which has become the most expensive neighborhoods in the city (with l'Île de la Cité). It tells something of the power of culture and how the wealthy, like the rest in life, try to get a firm hold on it, as they do about any power; but that doesn't make them artists. Sometimes the world is a little bit fair. xD
Don't let this music make you feel sad, for that is not why it was composed. Satie lived in tiny apartments in Paris and had little or no money for most of his life. Nevertheless, he spent his days visiting friends, socialising and drinking (heavily) in Paris' cabarets and cafés, annoying and confusing people he disliked (which he found very amusing), and generally doing as he pleased. He had strange habits and interests, always dressed impeccably, and changed his outlook on politics, religion and music constantly. Despite his unusual life, he was happy, and had all he needed or wanted: The company of friends, the love of music and art (and the opportunity to discuss them) and alcohol. Satie died of cirhossis of the liver after a life in which he had never become one of the 'great' composers. However, the impact he had on his friends and contemporaries (including Debussy, Picasso, Cocteau and Ravel) was massive. Make no mistake, his legacy is still seen today. He revolutionised an understanding and usage of tonality and harmony that inspired a new school of French composers. Aspects of his outlook on life and some of his unusual mannerisms were later realised in Dadaism. So do not despair at hearing this music, and do not attach it to the struggles of life. It was written from a place of contentedness, friendship, and inspiration. No matter how difficult your situation is, whether you can change it or not, enjoy the parts of life that make us feel. Create your own special legacy, with whatever you have before you.
THANK YOU for this wonderfully informative comment. This music brings to me a deep joy...as the progressions and turns carry one from the deepest, enfolding darkness to contentment and rightness. Joy and exaltation! Patience, particularly. I love it SOMUCH! And I am now not only inspired by his phrases, but yours as well! '

Les notes s'écoulent, l'une après l'autre, la vitesse augmente ou diminue, avec force ou légèreté. Ni tristesse, ni joie, ni nostalgie, une source de musique, un bain de sons purs, rafraîchissant. C'est cela Sati pour moi, depuis fort longtemps. L'écouter me fait changer de dimension et je ne suis plus que ces notes.
I decided to learn piano at age 43 and my goal was to play the Gymnopédie! I've reached that goal and I am beyond but I have this melody to thank for a decision I can never regret.
4 years ago as a sophomore at university I reached probably the lowest point and wanted to give up. On a whim I bought plane tickets to Paris for a weekend and I spent 2 days just sitting in the park listening to this piece on repeat. One month ago I graduated from medical school and still when I need to take a deep breath I always come back to this piece.
Bravo! Music has a power we can't explain. I love piano music it is so soothing. I remember this pieve from the French film ' Diva' it cast its spell then and so it has remained. Be a good and true doctor, it was meant to bex

Erma Hasan Thank you Erma.....I woke, read you comment and it brought tears to my eye....what a way to start a day with such beautiful human kindness. Be blessed.
It might be a little pretentious, but what you said reminded me of this quote. “you must be ready to burn yourself in your own flame; how could you rise anew if you have not first become ashes?” - Friedrich Nietzsche
@@Sunspot1225. When you are tired and fatigued your mind is most moldable, along with this comes the high chance of making an irrational decision which could end up costing you (drugs, alcohol, etc.)
I love the feeling of melancholy I get from these pieces, this is exactly what I need right now. Life is rough but I try to stay strong. Music is the medicine for the soul.
Stay strong….giving up is not an option. I fought a cancer battle in 2016 and a divorce in 2021 so I can understand. Do your best to keep a positive attitude through it all. You can survive this. Believe in yourself.
embrace beautiful music (Ravel and Debussy have similar wonderful pieces, likewise French composers). Don't forget a sense of humor and listening quietly to nature. Godspeed, my friend!
When I was a little girl in a small town, Balimbingan, my daddy used to play this classic music. Now, I try to enjoy this with my hot tea ~remember my dad.. Malang, Indonesia.
michael sharp The light effect achieved in these paintings...is just WOW!...an evening after a day heavy rain or snow contrasted with the warmth of the glow from the cafés and restaurants. I want to walk amongst these scenes. If I could only step into my screen...! Pretty sure my grandmother has a print of one of these paintings...
Hello everyone, I just wanted to take a minute to say thank you for all your kind words and for your beautiful stories. I have loved each and every one of them. When I decided to create this project my one goal was to make something that people all over the world could enjoy, appreciate, relate to and to fall in love with. I never in my wildest dreams thought that it would affect so many people from so many different far away places. I'm happy that you all came to share this beautiful music and art with me and I wish you all the very best wherever it is that you live your lives. I am honored to know that this video helps many of you get through whatever you are going through the way that it helps me. Thank you all again....peace love and happiness to all of you.
I found my true self before you even wrote this comment. This music has helped me to hold on to it and to continue my way. Although I feel like a ghost when I walk through the streets, I can finally see and feel again. It's like I've been in a coma for the last 15 years, sleepwalking. I am awake now, but I am afraid that the others are not.
Hello Logansaan ! Paris was at the time a very beautiful city ! Since then we had to welcome millions of émigrants ! You will never recognize Paris nowadays ! It has become sad not clean stressfull full of perverts and mindless and conscienssness women just chasing all for billionairs or football player ! I hate What Paris has become !
I am English, I was born in Manchester and I live in London, but I must admit that Paris is exceptionally beautiful! I will never get tired of going! Although the cars, the clothes, the people have changed, the same magic continues, the same beauty, the same streets full of charm, luxury and poetry!!
These paintings give me nostalgia for something I've never experienced, just the idea of a walk in an industrialized France, with a light drizzle, multiple people passing by you going to work, and shops glimmering through the fog with a constant flow of business and transportation while you walk along appreciating everything around you. Very well done painting by Cortes.
And even with the horses trotting, the cars whirring, the people talking and walking here and there, yet I have a feeling of being alone like the foreign who is amongst people whom he never saw before.
One of the most beautiful piano pieces I've ever heard. Satie was a friend of Picasso, and they used to walk home together to Montparnasse in 1917 after rehearsing the ballet Parade, in which Satie wrote the music and Picasso the artwork.
It is a moment in time long ago. It exists only in memory. A perfected vision of how things used to be. It is an invitation to stop for a moment and smell the roses. The end of a long walk where the beginning no longer exists. It is the journey.
This takes me back to when I was a child, spending my holidays with my French grandparents, who lived in Paris, in the 50s & 60s. The snow and rain scenes are so familiar Those lovely memories reduce me to tears. I yearn for those years. The music is sublime...
Hi Marie loved your story I had some quite similar but my Grand patents in Trieste Northern Italy I was about four I remember a park laying down with my grand mother looking at the clouds and always cold have a great happy life Marie Ian 64 now live in Australia Perth my name is Silvio Guidetti thankyou for listening to my story Bless young💐
Thank you for your kind words Silvio, I have just read again about your memories of your Grand Parents in Trieste Northern Italy, and how when you were four, laying down with your Grandmother and looking at the clouds - such wonderful memories, hang onto them. Joyeux Noel, I too wish you a happy life. Thank you for sharing your memory. @@Eurovision324
we all know that feeling. it usualy feels like it was a better time/place. its a romaticized Version of the reality in our heads. its what we would like it to be. the reality was of course different. but still nothing wrong with letting those feelings in and enjoying them. i get this nostalgic feeling often. usualy because of music and movies. sometimes arciteture. its nice. but i wouldnt wanna live there in reality. a holiday in the past would be nice tho
i was so drained. but after listening to this while reading the comments, i felt happy. although with a little mix of sadness. i feel so safe with the people here.
mega bouncy balls, reading your comment gives me comfort in the long night,I am glad that you know that there are other like minded souls writing on here.
@@juliaalbernaz9896 Dear friend. There are 3 Gymnopedies composed by Eric Satie. The 3 are woderful. Debussy who admired Satie, orchestred 2 of them. If i remerber well, they are the first and the third ones. Unfortunatly not the second which is my favourite. But nevertheless, the result is magnificent! Greetings.
This song makes me miss a life ive never known. Chase a feeling that doesnt exist, make me imagine a life that feels impossible. It brings images to my head that could pass as a past life this song makes me yearn for somethings more
It's funny how most of non-french people sees Paris. They think of a beautiful city, filled by love and poetry. But has a french guy, i can say it's pretty far from the truth. Paris is cold, melancholic, gigantic, and filled to the brim with social tentions. It's a very morose city. It's the capital of a Country that has gone through a lot and still his.
Louis Guerre I think you meant to say “most Americans”..some of us Euro_bods are perfectly aware of what ANY country is like on This Continent. I can’t speak for Asia but I know the Americas and Euroland.
It's like any other city, as someone who emigrated to the US I can see how everyone romanticizes living somewhere else but once reality sets in you're able to see things for what they really are. People back in Mexico wish they lived in the US, Americans wish they lived in Switzerland, Canada, Japan, France, etc. But I bet those cities are the same if not harder to adapt specially for someone who doesn't speak the language big cities seem cool and glamorous but most of the time living in them can be really boring and isolating .
Wish I had a time machine.....went to the top of the Eiffel Tower in 1971 when I worked for Trans World Airlines...have tears in my eyes.. such a beautiful city...I love Paris...April was in Paris
I love how nice and beatifull people are in comment sections of classical music! Really inspiring and calming to read all these gentle comments from people all over the word, speaking the same laguage and sharing great experiences while listening to this piece of art! :) what a time to be alive!
A few years ago I was very stressed by school pressure and my grandfather put me these melodies by Erik Satie and this calmed me down too much, now I can´t stop listening to these melodies to feel peace and to remember my grandfather💕
Sat in a field in Dorset late at night with no light pollution, looking up to the stars and a new moon glistening above me,whilst consumming a nice red wine and reflecting on how lucky i am to be in such a beautiful moment of time
Every era says that but I don’t blame them. I agree with you though, the sky is really beautiful without the light pollution and I had the opportunity to see it a more than couple of times
Very true xx one moment I was 16 and carefree now 65 still carefree ..but where has time went ?. Go ..enjoy explore the world smile and be nice to,people. Xx
that is very beautiful. while im only 13 right now and am reading this comment while i weep over my math homework, i hope to be like you someday. I hope to travel the world and help my country. I hope to visit Paris and see how it is doing. I hope to have a nice day someday. I hope ur doing good Ralph!! love from Chicago
@@Hi-ns6ic great ambitions but probably shouldn't dream to be an army member. not as good as it sounds and looks with bullshit like ptsd, rape and many more. if you really want to follow that dream no one will say no but i recommend talking to some army vet's before making such a huge decision.
I love the minimalism of Satie's work. There's so much to be heard in the spaces between the notes. I'm here tonight to restore and heal after an emotional whirlwind of a week.
When I first became acquainted with Satie, my wife and I had given up wine for one year, to give the best care to our beloved Sally, our diabetic cat. Said kitty is doing so well now.
I recommend listen to Chopin , He is The best , Classic music is for your soul and relaxing your nerves and refreshing your soul . My wife taught me , she is not here anymore . but I do continue to listen to classical music .
Me too, but 4-5 years ago I began listening to Rock music and started playing guitar. I was always interested in classical music and finally bought a piano last month. Rock and Classical Music became more interesting and fun than rap music for me. Why I still love Rock : th-cam.com/video/glO58_4sXWM/w-d-xo.html
I was listening to this yesterday, sitting out back watching the birds, rabbits, chipmunks, and squirrels enjoy the food we provided for them. Leaves falling, pine needles falling. Such a day could probably never have a better soundtrack.
My mother would play his works on Sunday afternoon, with sherry and biscuits with cheese. Every note brings me back those memories. The scent of roast beef and chocolate cake wafting...❤
I feel this music as a refuge from reality. A sweet condition of melancholia to which you can fully abandon yourself, seeing the world from the outside, sheltered by your own pain.
I thought I was the only one that felt that way...my parents were older than most and growing up, their memories became mine...this is a wonderful montage.
When listening to this, I’m immersed in the experience of my old self preparing to leave for Norway - the first time I was going anywhere outside of France alone, and the further I’d ever go from where I lived. I’d listen to this the evenings before my departure, thinking about my dear friends, just before I’d make new ones and put my life on a completely different path. This is the music that accompanied me as I was preparing to change, and changing. I’d discover a lot about myself and others: other people’s stories and worlds, as well as my own : my ability to love, to protect, to lead, but also my mental and physical strength. Every evening of the Nordic winter, after a long day of work and lifting, soaked by the rain, before going to see my friends I’d stop by this old piano in the basement of the student housing, and play this, while contemplating this adventure I was only starting : my adulthood.
@@marrubio6631 as a Parisian I want to live that Paris, I know the times were not great, but just one day in the paris from « la Belle Époque » would be amazing.
Its beautiful to see the power of classical music reading these comments here ... no hate only love and positivity even when somebody is confessing that he or she is struggling . Isn’t it beautiful?!
Erik Satie captured something that was unfamiliar before. And he gave birth to it. Melancholy set in music. Maybe it was done before, but he popularized it and made it contemporary. He was way ahead of his time.
My grandmother used to put this song on a little CD player for me to get me to sleep. It’d been a rough part of my life, my abusive father lived literally opposite us and I knew he watched me from the window, this piece was a perfect example of how I felt, the slow melancholy hits of the keys leave a long and lamenting ring that resonates in the deepest part of my emotion. Thank you for uploading this in it’s entirety, I could never than you enough.
SuperSpaz you are very welcome and I'm glad this music helps to ease your pain. I am truly sorry for what you've had to deal with in your life. God bless you and stay strong.
I pray that Jesus gives you peace. You did not deserve what you went through. I pray that the effects of that trauma melt away, in Jesus's name. God bless and Jesus loves you!
The worlds energy seems so different from that depicted in these beautiful paintings. Obviously technology has advanced civilization but there is an aura to a simpler way of life which is difficult to describe. There are many upsides to technology but one downfall is society is beginning to feel less and less human.
"There is an aura to a simpler way of life " Yes , it is indeed difficult to describe as you stated . I loved your comment it resonates with truth . Perhaps its the fact that the world wasn't moving a thousand miles an hour then , and was far less complex than it is today . Maybe less in life is more !
@Junayd Kourrich I hate to burst your bubble, but what you are describing is the classic "rose tinted glasses" where we look at the past and only remember the positives. The present is the best time to ever be alive as a human. Modern healthcare, sanitation, equality, human rights, civil liberties, lack of wars, ability to travel, communicate and more are the best they have ever been. Don't worry about the past seeming great, if you spent one day there you would realize all the stuff from today you'd miss.
@Junayd Kourrich using one of the paintings as an example, imagine having to come home from work in a horse drawn carriage that smells, with no climate control in the winter snow, wearing uncomfortable and itchy clothes, barely making enough money to pay rent in a city like paris
@@jasonbaylor9865 yes I agree the old saying. Some say the good old days and others tell the truth. One person we all know Charlie Chaplin when he was very young he and his brother took there mother to the poor house. He and Sydney his brother had to fend for themselves. They were lucky most were not
as much as I share those feelings with you, I must add that those simpler times were less comfortable than what we are living now. Our lives are much easier than before but much more complicated and lonely. The price we pay for progress. The new technology does not connect people, but ironically does quite the opposite. And we must not forget those days there was only 1/3rd of the population which must add to the tranquility and rushlessness of those days.
Satie and Cortes, what a match made in heaven. Luminescent sadness, eerily beautiful, and hauntingly romantic. Makes one wish one had a time machine to go back to the "real" Paris decades ago.
When my father passed away in hospice last year I was alone with him. While I waited for my family to come to the hospital I played this song, this video. On repeat. It kept me calm and sane so I was able spend some quiet time with my father before my family arrived to begin the realty of losing a loved one.
Andrew White I am very sorry to hear of your father's passing. My father passed away in April of 2018 so I understand your sorrow. My father was a musician/producer/engineer so music was a huge part of our lives. Over the years music has helped me make it through some good and bad times. I've always looked to music for comfort and I'm glad you found some comfort in this music when you needed it most. God bless you, your father and your family.
Ascolto la musica sublime di Eric Satie, perfettamente abbinata ai quadri di Cortes.. Siamo nei primi del Novecento, non so niente di arte ma quello che vedo e sento contemporaneamente si abbinano alla perfezione
Music and thought are , have been, and always will be inseparable and so all of us should strive to promote both at whatever level is possible to us. Our potential, collective or individual is incredible.
music is from the feeling. thought is from the mind ... compositions (in all directions and combinations endlessly) are possible but both will always continue to originate from within its own worlds
This song always makes me think of when my mom first passed away. It was strange because she was never into classical music. It's just the sound...it captured the feeling of many happy, long gone memories.
Mi hermana murió d cáncer hace 1 año y escuchando esta música me hace recordarla... los momentos bonitos junto a ella son memorables! yo también tengo cáncer y sigo combatiendo... cierro los ojos y la rememoro recordándola con cariño y sabiendo que al final la volveré a abrazar otra vez! 😌😌
I hope you are recovering OK, Merry Christmas, keep getting better, yes I'm praying you get good results. Music helps me drift away from negative bad thoughts. God bless
I remember playing this song every night during one whole winter two years ago. This song became my home and the only place where I could find humanity.
The first time I've heard this melody was unintentional, because my eldest daughter was taking part in a musical quizz back at high school and Satie was the composer they were studying. I was pregnant at that time... Nowadays, that baby is a 4-year-old girl who enjoys Satie (says it makes her feel relaxed) and Gymnipédies are her favourite piano compositions!
Edouard Léon Cortès (1882-1969) was a French post-impressionist artist of French and Spanish ancestry. He is known as "Le Poete Parisien de la Peinture" or "the Parisian Poet of Painting" because of his diverse Paris cityscapes in a variety of weather and night settings.
Sometimes I wonder if we will ever have such a time again where the world looks as through misty rainfall...there is a quiet, a gentleness, that stirs the soul but does not unsettle it in this music. I am hopeful. I remember learning these pieces when I young...thank you for uploading this.
I learned from the comments on the internet that people have the same memories and same feelings wherever they are in the world, how similar people are to each other.
It is so easy to travel back in time with this wonderful background music and these beautiful paintings where you can remember when you once lived a winter in Paris.
It's drizzling outside, inside I have a hot cup of coffee and this music in the background. I see moon and clouds dancing to this.. What a musical night!
Been in Paris for 6 months, it was such a wonderful experience to be there and listen when I was in a mood beautiful slow music as this masterpiece collection!!! I really wish everyone to get the chance in their lifes and visit this inspiring city!
If not for my ballet classes and The Academy Of Music Theatre in Brooklyn, NYC, I would not have been able to appreciate Erik Satie and other classical music. Thank you Aunt Norma. I love you. ♡
The paintings of the wet streets filled with Parisians is absolutely incredible. You can almost feel the chill in the air. One Master artist accompanies the other perfectly.
The Cortes paintings and Satie’s music make for a mesmerizing combination. And like others have mentioned, evoke a nostalgia for a time and place never lived in. Signifying what art gifts. A timeless resonance.

1978 tenía un cassette prestado.." Puertos" este era uno de los temas...lo tocaba una y otra vez... Estaba en mi primer año de Universidad...el que debió ser uno de los más felices de mi vida...se convirtió en uno dónde la tristeza me consumía...hoy tengo 62 años y esa tristeza a veces sale de su escondite y aflora por mis ojos...habría hecho las cosas diferentes...
I grew up in Paris and not only does the rain the crowds, the mansard roofs bring me back to my childhood but especially the sound of Satie. This is an incredible slideshow of a changeling society from three horse bus carriages to actual buses, from horse drawn cars to actual cars in the crowds plowing through it all. Really an incredible piece.
Best feeling in the word. Being tired from work in a lovely house in the country site, drinking wine and playing this music. You need to be tired to leave your rational part and let your feelings flow and absorb the music. I have achieve this at 36.
I used to listen to this as a child, my mum used to listen to it. But I only now, revisiting this genre , realise how deep and soulful the music is, quite heartbreaking .
Isabel Sobozinsky-Wall I'm sorry about your mother. My mother passed away 2 weeks ago kind of suddenly and unexpectedly. She passed her love of music down to me since I was born and I'm grateful to her for that. I like to think that a lot of the music on my TH-cam channel is a reflection of her musical taste. Much love to you and your family during this difficult time in your lives.
What a beatiful soul. His music is like walking on the streets in a rainy day. Carrying all these emotions in a sentimental journey. Sense of loss, sense of longing, by knowing gone is gone and nothing will be the same. But you keep up walking by carrying past with you despite all.
Gavin B. We do, but we don’t perceive it as we go through life linear. Our life is infinite, but our current selves die at some point and thus why death is inevitable because time consumes energy that allows it to pass through. Push and pull. In and out. Around and around. All of it is just energy cycling. We’re all on borrowed time.
Ive been listening to this since I was 12 dreaming of the day i finally can afford a piano. Now I'm almost 18 and just finished learning gnossienne #3 on my piano
Un véritable chef d'œuvre, désolé de mon Français mais j'en perds mon anglais... Je pense que c'est l'œuvre classique que je préfère le plus, franchement, existe-t-il un morceau aussi beau et apaisant ? Sûrement. Mais selon moi, il reste parmi l'un des plus magnifiques morceaux que l'Homme a composé. Merci pour ces moments !

I want to jump into those paintings and live inside them.
These paintings are so beautiful, that when l look at them, l can't help but smile like the dog in your profile picture. Magical
blues clues it up
@fjf sjdnx explain it to me, please. Why would anyone wants to kill you, just because you are black?
fjf sjdnx i think you are being too sensitive for what people say. It is the 21st century already, there is no slavery of black people anymore
@fjf sjdnx At that time, when you were black, you were not killed on the street, you know. You were working hard somewhere for poor wages, 'cause here in France we were proud of having "abolished" slavery (I guess we have to see that slavery still exists today, but according to standards deemed "acceptable" by all these people who never care no matter the colour of their skins). If you were black, you probably would never have had the chance to walk these streets because all the work you had to carry out; I find there's something very similar today with the poor. By the way, the politicians are still very proud to say France is the country of the Human Rights, which is... a complete nonsense considering what life here is like.
Anyway, I guess now I don't have to tell Pietro Channels that he should be wary of his wishes; I'm no Genie but the life at these paintings' times was far from idyllic when you didn't belong to the wealthy. It still isn't: don't go to Paris if you're poor. Living here as a poor worker or as a student is like being in a cage, which utterly prevents you from enjoying the good view.
Something of note though: if you were a successful musician or painter, life could be ok. They lived in the poorest neighborhoods in Paris (Montmartre, you've all seen Amélie Poulain), which has become the most expensive neighborhoods in the city (with l'Île de la Cité). It tells something of the power of culture and how the wealthy, like the rest in life, try to get a firm hold on it, as they do about any power; but that doesn't make them artists. Sometimes the world is a little bit fair. xD
Don't let this music make you feel sad, for that is not why it was composed.
Satie lived in tiny apartments in Paris and had little or no money for most of his life. Nevertheless, he spent his days visiting friends, socialising and drinking (heavily) in Paris' cabarets and cafés, annoying and confusing people he disliked (which he found very amusing), and generally doing as he pleased. He had strange habits and interests, always dressed impeccably, and changed his outlook on politics, religion and music constantly.
Despite his unusual life, he was happy, and had all he needed or wanted: The company of friends, the love of music and art (and the opportunity to discuss them) and alcohol.
Satie died of cirhossis of the liver after a life in which he had never become one of the 'great' composers. However, the impact he had on his friends and contemporaries (including Debussy, Picasso, Cocteau and Ravel) was massive. Make no mistake, his legacy is still seen today. He revolutionised an understanding and usage of tonality and harmony that inspired a new school of French composers. Aspects of his outlook on life and some of his unusual mannerisms were later realised in Dadaism.
So do not despair at hearing this music, and do not attach it to the struggles of life. It was written from a place of contentedness, friendship, and inspiration. No matter how difficult your situation is, whether you can change it or not, enjoy the parts of life that make us feel. Create your own special legacy, with whatever you have before you.
THANK YOU for this wonderfully informative comment. This music brings to me a deep joy...as the progressions and turns carry one from the deepest, enfolding darkness to contentment and rightness. Joy and exaltation! Patience, particularly. I love it SOMUCH! And I am now not only inspired by his phrases, but yours as well!

I decided to learn piano at age 43 and my goal was to play the Gymnopédie! I've reached that goal and I am beyond but I have this melody to thank for a decision I can never regret.
that’s amazing, music inspires greatness!
@@blakelloyd6589 Yes. It's been 8 years now. You can never be alone with music and books. ❤️
Wow that's great, you rock!
That’s amazing! Just goes to show that it’s never too late to learn a life-changing skill.
That's amazing congratulations, in my opinion the Gymnope'die is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever composed.
4 years ago as a sophomore at university I reached probably the lowest point and wanted to give up. On a whim I bought plane tickets to Paris for a weekend and I spent 2 days just sitting in the park listening to this piece on repeat.
One month ago I graduated from medical school and still when I need to take a deep breath I always come back to this piece.
Monika N Congratulations...I'm happy that you didn't give up....wishing you the best in your medical career....you're always welcome here
Wow! Great great decision! I hope you are doing well today, despite the current lockdown! Peace and love
Bravo! Music has a power we can't explain. I love piano music it is so soothing. I remember this pieve from the French film ' Diva' it cast its spell then and so it has remained. Be a good and true doctor, it was meant to bex
i can relate to this so much..
Comme quoi !! La musique est universelle et si belle......

I have heard this in many movies and I never knew where it came from.

I love the feeling of melancholy I get from these pieces, this is exactly what I need right now. Life is rough but I try to stay strong. Music is the medicine for the soul.
Stay strong….giving up is not an option. I fought a cancer battle in 2016 and a divorce in 2021 so I can understand. Do your best to keep a positive attitude through it all. You can survive this. Believe in yourself.
Good times are either here, or on their way. Good times after bad ones are always sweeter.
embrace beautiful music (Ravel and Debussy have similar wonderful pieces, likewise French composers). Don't forget a sense of humor and listening quietly to nature. Godspeed, my friend!
I'm feeling the same way. Life is rough man, but gotta stay strong. Music is really a medicine for the soul. Thank you for sharing it here :)
Well said.
When I was a little girl in a small town, Balimbingan, my daddy used to play this classic music. Now, I try to enjoy this with my hot tea ~remember my dad.. Malang, Indonesia.
Meirita Nasution That is a beautiful memory....keep it always...I love hot tea very much❤️

Beautiful way to appreciate the music of Erik Satie and the paintings of Edouard Cortes. They compliment each other so well.
Thank you for your kind words.....I thought the same thing as well.

wonderful, yes.
michael sharp The light effect achieved in these paintings...is just WOW!...an evening after a day heavy rain or snow contrasted with the warmth of the glow from the cafés and restaurants. I want to walk amongst these scenes. If I could only step into my screen...!
Pretty sure my grandmother has a print of one of these paintings...
michael sharp 👍👍
Hello everyone, I just wanted to take a minute to say thank you for all your kind words and for your beautiful stories. I have loved each and every one of them. When I decided to create this project my one goal was to make something that people all over the world could enjoy, appreciate, relate to and to fall in love with. I never in my wildest dreams thought that it would affect so many people from so many different far away places. I'm happy that you all came to share this beautiful music and art with me and I wish you all the very best wherever it is that you live your lives. I am honored to know that this video helps many of you get through whatever you are going through the way that it helps me. Thank you all again....peace love and happiness to all of you.
So beautiful and could you tell me who paints such masterpieces? I would love one of these paintings.
I found my true self before you even wrote this comment. This music has helped me to hold on to it and to continue my way.
Although I feel like a ghost when I walk through the streets, I can finally see and feel again.
It's like I've been in a coma for the last 15 years, sleepwalking.
I am awake now, but I am afraid that the others are not.

Hello Logansaan !
Paris was at the time a very beautiful city !
Since then we had to welcome millions of émigrants !
You will never recognize Paris nowadays !
It has become sad not clean stressfull full of perverts and mindless and conscienssness women just chasing all for billionairs or football player !
I hate What Paris has become !
I am English, I was born in Manchester and I live in London, but I must admit that Paris is exceptionally beautiful! I will never get tired of going!
Although the cars, the clothes, the people have changed, the same magic continues, the same beauty, the same streets full of charm, luxury and poetry!!
I got into so much trouble as a young corporal in Paris, in 1967.
These paintings give me nostalgia for something I've never experienced, just the idea of a walk in an industrialized France, with a light drizzle, multiple people passing by you going to work, and shops glimmering through the fog with a constant flow of business and transportation while you walk along appreciating everything around you. Very well done painting by Cortes.
Quite an eloquent and vivid expression my dear friend, my sentiments exactly.💛🍃🌁🌇☔🌧️🚆🙋
Muchas gracias!. Justo buscaba el autor de las pinturas.
Well put mate. Had a similar effect on me.
And even with the horses trotting, the cars whirring, the people talking and walking here and there, yet I have a feeling of being alone like the foreign who is amongst people whom he never saw before.
Imagine the smell of horse shit stagnating in the air due to the fog
One of the most beautiful piano pieces I've ever heard. Satie was a friend of Picasso, and they used to walk home together to Montparnasse in 1917 after rehearsing the ballet Parade, in which Satie wrote the music and Picasso the artwork.
He had a pauper’s death, I believe.
What?! I never heard of that story! If that's true, that's incredible.
Yep that's an amazing story
I heard Sati was close friends with Claude Debussy but not Picasso
What? That's quite an artistic coincidence. 👀
It is a moment in time long ago. It exists only in memory. A perfected vision of how things used to be. It is an invitation to stop for a moment and smell the roses. The end of a long walk where the beginning no longer exists. It is the journey.
This takes me back to when I was a child, spending my holidays with my French grandparents, who lived in Paris, in the 50s & 60s. The snow and rain scenes are so familiar Those lovely memories reduce me to tears. I yearn for those years. The music is sublime...
Good🎉
❤

Hi Marie loved your story I had some quite similar but my Grand patents in Trieste Northern Italy I was about four I remember a park laying down with my grand mother looking at the clouds and always cold have a great happy life Marie Ian 64 now live in Australia Perth my name is Silvio Guidetti thankyou for listening to my story Bless young💐
Thank you for your kind words Silvio, I have just read again about your memories of your Grand Parents in Trieste Northern Italy, and how when you were four, laying down with your Grandmother and looking at the clouds - such wonderful memories, hang onto them.

Makes me nostalgic for a time I've never known.
Maybe in another life ♥️
Your are in the throes of Anemoia.
Crying
Ecozealgia maybe
we all know that feeling. it usualy feels like it was a better time/place. its a romaticized Version of the reality in our heads.
its what we would like it to be. the reality was of course different.
but still nothing wrong with letting those feelings in and enjoying them. i get this nostalgic feeling often.
usualy because of music and movies. sometimes arciteture. its nice. but i wouldnt wanna live there in reality. a holiday in the past would be nice tho
i was so drained. but after listening to this while reading the comments, i felt happy. although with a little mix of sadness. i feel so safe with the people here.
And we feel safe with you.
Your not in Kansas USA anymore.

Thank you, Gracias, arigato :3💕

This song makes me miss a life ive never known. Chase a feeling that doesnt exist, make me imagine a life that feels impossible. It brings images to my head that could pass as a past life this song makes me yearn for somethings more
Nostalgia
It's funny how most of non-french people sees Paris. They think of a beautiful city, filled by love and poetry. But has a french guy, i can say it's pretty far from the truth. Paris is cold, melancholic, gigantic, and filled to the brim with social tentions. It's a very morose city. It's the capital of a Country that has gone through a lot and still his.
Louis Guerre I think you meant to say “most Americans”..some of us Euro_bods are perfectly aware of what ANY country is like on This Continent. I can’t speak for Asia but I know the Americas and Euroland.
Sounds very multicultural lol
It's like any other city, as someone who emigrated to the US I can see how everyone romanticizes living somewhere else but once reality sets in you're able to see things for what they really are. People back in Mexico wish they lived in the US, Americans wish they lived in Switzerland, Canada, Japan, France, etc. But I bet those cities are the same if not harder to adapt specially for someone who doesn't speak the language big cities seem cool and glamorous but most of the time living in them can be really boring and isolating .

There us no sadness un this. There is passion/ sensuality, there is the fullness of life, every emotion experienced.

@@Hi-ns6ic great ambitions but probably shouldn't dream to be an army member. not as good as it sounds and looks with bullshit like ptsd, rape and many more. if you really want to follow that dream no one will say no but i recommend talking to some army vet's before making such a huge decision.
Thank you for your service
I love the minimalism of Satie's work. There's so much to be heard in the spaces between the notes.
I'm here tonight to restore and heal after an emotional whirlwind of a week.
I love the space as I am healing as well….wishing you the best during your healing process
How beautifuly said
When I first became acquainted with Satie, my wife and I had given up wine for one year, to give the best care to our beloved Sally, our diabetic cat. Said kitty is doing so well now.
@@davelee8961 You gave up wine? So you were a couple of wine-os?
Yes, this was beautifully said by Achille Claude Debussy about a century ago, in almost the same words.
So many peaceful comments. Music and painting give me hope for the future.
I've grown up with Hip-Hop, RnB and Rap, but this type of music has something I've never felt before
I recommend listen to Chopin , He is The best , Classic music is for your soul and relaxing your nerves and refreshing your soul . My wife taught me , she is not here anymore . but I do continue to listen to classical music .
Now you are listening to true music................................
Me too, but 4-5 years ago I began listening to Rock music and started playing guitar. I was always interested in classical music and finally bought a piano last month. Rock and Classical Music became more interesting and fun than rap music for me. Why I still love Rock : th-cam.com/video/glO58_4sXWM/w-d-xo.html

@@roobickrubenkeshishi8473 So true.
I was listening to this yesterday, sitting out back watching the birds, rabbits, chipmunks, and squirrels enjoy the food we provided for them. Leaves falling, pine needles falling. Such a day could probably never have a better soundtrack.
Thats really nice :)

Cada uno puede imaginar lo que quiera,aunque este musico no es Un Músico del Romanticismo
My mother would play his works on Sunday afternoon, with sherry and biscuits with cheese.
Every note brings me back those memories.
The scent of roast beef and chocolate cake wafting...❤
I feel this music as a refuge from reality. A sweet condition of melancholia to which you can fully abandon yourself, seeing the world from the outside, sheltered by your own pain.
I feel like I’m nostalgic to something, that I’ve never experienced or don’t exactly know...❤️
Maybe in a past life you experienced it....
I love this comment....mirrors my feelings exactly!
I think you nailed it. You feel very nostalgic...... but to something that you can't put your finger on.
Spot on, this piece is the strangest yet most beautiful.
I thought I was the only one that felt that way...my parents were older than most and growing up, their memories became mine...this is a wonderful montage.
When listening to this, I’m immersed in the experience of my old self preparing to leave for Norway - the first time I was going anywhere outside of France alone, and the further I’d ever go from where I lived. I’d listen to this the evenings before my departure, thinking about my dear friends, just before I’d make new ones and put my life on a completely different path. This is the music that accompanied me as I was preparing to change, and changing. I’d discover a lot about myself and others: other people’s stories and worlds, as well as my own : my ability to love, to protect, to lead, but also my mental and physical strength. Every evening of the Nordic winter, after a long day of work and lifting, soaked by the rain, before going to see my friends I’d stop by this old piano in the basement of the student housing, and play this, while contemplating this adventure I was only starting : my adulthood.
I am very impressed by your story and imagined you doing all these. I don’t know how you are in age but hope you are now happy in your life!
Lovely story. You are right, the music is so comforting, it is like a friend.
this is paint not words great
Amazing story...
Magic!
I got hypnotised by this music and the paintings. I simply can't get my eyes off it. Does anybody else feel the same?
Yeah, it's fascinating to see how time slides on the faces of people and spaces even though they are not completely defined in the paintings.
@@marrubio6631 as a Parisian I want to live that Paris, I know the times were not great, but just one day in the paris from « la Belle Époque » would be amazing.

Its beautiful to see the power of classical music reading these comments here ... no hate only love and positivity even when somebody is confessing that he or she is struggling . Isn’t it beautiful?!
this is respect beautiful
Erik Satie captured something that was unfamiliar before. And he gave birth to it. Melancholy set in music. Maybe it was done before, but he popularized it and made it contemporary. He was way ahead of his time.
+Rick T it cptures the mood , then sends you on a journey ..
Actually, I'm a time traveler.
+Erik Satie are you Doctor Who? :O
He was! I couldn't have put it better myself, glad I searched through the comments first.
He was ahead of his time, or we were late.
If I can hear this, I definitely live.
Dimitris Giax damn I really don't know why but your comment really got me
must've hit when my mind was unprotected x)

Biskor i totally get your feelings. this song just does it
My grandmother used to put this song on a little CD player for me to get me to sleep.
It’d been a rough part of my life, my abusive father lived literally opposite us and I knew he watched me from the window, this piece was a perfect example of how I felt, the slow melancholy hits of the keys leave a long and lamenting ring that resonates in the deepest part of my emotion. Thank you for uploading this in it’s entirety, I could never than you enough.
SuperSpaz you are very welcome and I'm glad this music helps to ease your pain. I am truly sorry for what you've had to deal with in your life. God bless you and stay strong.

The worlds energy seems so different from that depicted in these beautiful paintings. Obviously technology has advanced civilization but there is an aura to a simpler way of life which is difficult to describe. There are many upsides to technology but one downfall is society is beginning to feel less and less human.
"There is an aura to a simpler way of life " Yes , it is indeed difficult to describe as you stated . I loved your comment it resonates with truth . Perhaps its the fact that the world wasn't moving a thousand miles an hour then , and was far less complex than it is today . Maybe less in life is more !
@Junayd Kourrich I hate to burst your bubble, but what you are describing is the classic "rose tinted glasses" where we look at the past and only remember the positives. The present is the best time to ever be alive as a human. Modern healthcare, sanitation, equality, human rights, civil liberties, lack of wars, ability to travel, communicate and more are the best they have ever been. Don't worry about the past seeming great, if you spent one day there you would realize all the stuff from today you'd miss.
@Junayd Kourrich using one of the paintings as an example, imagine having to come home from work in a horse drawn carriage that smells, with no climate control in the winter snow, wearing uncomfortable and itchy clothes, barely making enough money to pay rent in a city like paris
@@jasonbaylor9865 yes I agree the old saying. Some say the good old days and others tell the truth. One person we all know Charlie Chaplin when he was very young he and his brother took there mother to the poor house. He and Sydney his brother had to fend for themselves. They were lucky most were not
as much as I share those feelings with you, I must add that those simpler times were less comfortable than what we are living now. Our lives are much easier than before but much more complicated and lonely. The price we pay for progress. The new technology does not connect people, but ironically does quite the opposite. And we must not forget those days there was only 1/3rd of the population which must add to the tranquility and rushlessness of those days.
Satie and Cortes, what a match made in heaven. Luminescent sadness, eerily beautiful, and hauntingly romantic.
Makes one wish one had a time machine to go back to the "real" Paris decades ago.
But these are Monet’s paintings not some guy called Cortes.Did he just copy them.If so he’s broken copyright laws
When my father passed away in hospice last year I was alone with him. While I waited for my family to come to the hospital I played this song, this video. On repeat.
It kept me calm and sane so I was able spend some quiet time with my father before my family arrived to begin the realty of losing a loved one.
Andrew White I am very sorry to hear of your father's passing. My father passed away in April of 2018 so I understand your sorrow. My father was a musician/producer/engineer so music was a huge part of our lives. Over the years music has helped me make it through some good and bad times. I've always looked to music for comfort and I'm glad you found some comfort in this music when you needed it most. God bless you, your father and your family.
May God bless your family

@@classicaldeb empathy
Ascolto la musica sublime di Eric Satie, perfettamente abbinata ai quadri di Cortes.. Siamo nei primi del Novecento, non so niente di arte ma quello che vedo e sento contemporaneamente si abbinano alla perfezione
Music and thought are , have been, and always will be inseparable and so all of us should strive to promote both at whatever level is possible to us. Our potential, collective or individual is incredible.
I agree
music is from the feeling. thought is from the mind ... compositions (in all directions and combinations endlessly) are possible but both will always continue to originate from within its own worlds
That was very well said of you, sir. This brought a tear to my eye
This song always makes me think of when my mom first passed away. It was strange because she was never into classical music. It's just the sound...it captured the feeling of many happy, long gone memories.
I’m so sorry😢for your loss…..

I hope you are recovering OK, Merry Christmas, keep getting better, yes I'm praying you get good results. Music helps me drift away from negative bad thoughts. God bless
I remember playing this song every night during one whole winter two years ago. This song became my home and the only place where I could find humanity.
The first time I've heard this melody was unintentional, because my eldest daughter was taking part in a musical quizz back at high school and Satie was the composer they were studying. I was pregnant at that time... Nowadays, that baby is a 4-year-old girl who enjoys Satie (says it makes her feel relaxed) and Gymnipédies are her favourite piano compositions!
I'm predicting great things for your daughter! She has more taste in 4 years than some acquire in a lifetime. Best wishes to you both.
This song makes me miss a time in my life I cannot remember
Anemoia
Moi aussi...
But i can...
Not a ‘song’. It’s a beautiful ‘piece’ of music. Classical music without words as this is never called ‘songs’.
of unfulfilled dreams….
What an outstanding melding of two great masters! Paint and piano in one great video presentation. Bravo Bravo
Glad you enjoyed it!
Edouard Léon Cortès (1882-1969) was a French post-impressionist artist of French and Spanish ancestry. He is known as "Le Poete Parisien de la Peinture" or "the Parisian Poet of Painting" because of his diverse Paris cityscapes in a variety of weather and night settings.

The Cortes paintings and Satie’s music make for a mesmerizing combination. And like others have mentioned, evoke a nostalgia for a time and place never lived in. Signifying what art gifts. A timeless resonance.

@@awalkingman83 please don't interact with anyone for the rest of your life. thanks.
I can't help but think I'm sharing a connection in the sorrows of all who have been moved by this piece in an hour of darkness.

4emi do me ofthe17 years I lived in France, not in Paris but in the Mid Pyrenees.
En associant deux immenses talents l'auteur de cette vidéo illumine ma vie.
This piece does things to me i cannot even begin to understand
I have the same feelings, Helena.
Helena Mason this isn't a single piece he threw together a bunch
same here, especially Gymnopédie no.1.
it is certainly evocative at a molecular level

1978 tenía un cassette prestado.." Puertos" este era uno de los temas...lo tocaba una y otra vez...
Estaba en mi primer año de Universidad...el que debió ser uno de los más felices de mi vida...se convirtió en uno dónde la tristeza me consumía...hoy tengo 62 años y esa tristeza a veces sale de su escondite y aflora por mis ojos...habría hecho las cosas diferentes...
I grew up in Paris and not only does the rain the crowds, the mansard roofs bring me back to my childhood but especially the sound of Satie. This is an incredible slideshow of a changeling society from three horse bus carriages to actual buses, from horse drawn cars to actual cars in the crowds plowing through it all. Really an incredible piece.
Best feeling in the word. Being tired from work in a lovely house in the country site, drinking wine and playing this music. You need to be tired to leave your rational part and let your feelings flow and absorb the music. I have achieve this at 36.
This song is beautiful.it has a soothing and calming effect. It also manages to bring back a flood of memories.
Hopefully all good memories

I used to listen to this as a child, my mum used to listen to it. But I only now, revisiting this genre , realise how deep and soulful the music is, quite heartbreaking .
Over these past months, I had forgotten how calming and soothing music can be to the soul and spirit. Thank you for reminding me.
David Goerner you're very welcome...I'm glad you found your way back. I would be lost without music
Beautiful pictures, I saw it before, from Christmas cards🌸 beautiful music too💐
Thanks🌹
I love Satie so much and combined with "Le Poète Parisien de la Peinture", perfect for a rainy Sunday morning in Ireland. Thank you.
If you like simplicity and touching. Try Chopin's mazurkas. They are so amazing. Wouldnt suprise me if Satie was inspired by those.
I’m more of a Philly person but I’m still a hopeless romantic, and falling in love in the city sounds like the greatest experience ever

My mother passed away suddenly and unexpectedly about 3 weeks ago. She used to play Gymnopedie #1.
Isabel Sobozinsky-Wall I'm sorry about your mother. My mother passed away 2 weeks ago kind of suddenly and unexpectedly. She passed her love of music down to me since I was born and I'm grateful to her for that. I like to think that a lot of the music on my TH-cam channel is a reflection of her musical taste. Much love to you and your family during this difficult time in your lives.

Sorry for your loss and I hope this beautiful music helps fill that hole.
What a beatiful soul. His music is like walking on the streets in a rainy day. Carrying all these emotions in a sentimental journey. Sense of loss, sense of longing, by knowing gone is gone and nothing will be the same. But you keep up walking by carrying past with you despite all.
The moment you have now is most important because you’ll never receive it again.
The past is history,
the future a mystery
and the now is a gift.
That's why they call it the present!
Nostalgia.
Or maybe we'll experience it infinitely - eternal recurrence.
Gavin B. We do, but we don’t perceive it as we go through life linear. Our life is infinite, but our current selves die at some point and thus why death is inevitable because time consumes energy that allows it to pass through. Push and pull. In and out. Around and around. All of it is just energy cycling. We’re all on borrowed time.
It is now, always.
Ive been listening to this since I was 12 dreaming of the day i finally can afford a piano. Now I'm almost 18 and just finished learning gnossienne #3 on my piano
Un véritable chef d'œuvre, désolé de mon Français mais j'en perds mon anglais... Je pense que c'est l'œuvre classique que je préfère le plus, franchement, existe-t-il un morceau aussi beau et apaisant ? Sûrement. Mais selon moi, il reste parmi l'un des plus magnifiques morceaux que l'Homme a composé. Merci pour ces moments !
Ecoutez ARVO. PÄRT....un componiste d un des pays de la baltique.. une merveille....pour Alina....entre autre....
It makes me happy this melody and visuals , Paris in the old days, must be a wonderfull city
