My Son Nick Died this year of Pancreatic Cancer. (43) He played many of these pieces on his piano, and adored many of the French Composers. Ravel, Debussy, and of course Satie. Music was his life!

I really start to appreciate the comment sections of classical music. Everyone's just kind with one another and appreciating beautiful music. Thats rare these days

Satie had a rough life with his drinking problem, he loved very few, but used that loneliness to compose a lifetime of music!

Eric Satie was pure genius, and I do not use that term often. His music was timeless, which is one of the hallmarks of a musical genius. If his compositions were first played today, he would be revered for his originality. Pretty amazing considering he died in 1925! I love the simplicity and how he uses dissidence so well inside melody. 

Erik Satie is like the Van Gough of Piano it is truly moving thank God I find these musical gems

Nothing like some Satie on a rainy Saturday morning!

I listen to this everyday, probably the only set of adorable compositions that doesn't make me sick. It makes me feel like I'm watching myself playing alone at the backyard while is raining.

This pianist has a gloriously unique phrasing, very unique when you think you've heard Satie in about every way imaginable.

The comfort and melancholy of Satie‘s music are off the charts

This has the most unique interpretation of Gnossienne No.1 I've ever heard, and I've literally heard hundreds of them. This pianist truly knows how to play "du bout de la pensée"!

I'm lying in my bed, while horrible migraine is storming through my head, with the only desire to die. Listening to this provoked tears of sudden relief and calmness. Thank you Mr. Sattie

I live in Portugal. Many condos and houses (including mine) have blackout shutters. I often darken the room, get comfortable and listen to Satie. It's a highlight of my day.

What a crowded lonely world this is

Oh dear, I'm chagrined to say that today is the first I've heard of Erik Satie--I'm feeling sooo uncultured. But as they say, better late than never. Loved his music in this video, but I'd like to explore more of his works. Judging from I just what I finished reading in Wikipedia, it seems he lived alone all of his life, save one short love affair he had with an artist's model, who after about six months left him So sad, but not many of us with the happiest of lives are able to leave a legacy of compositions for the generations to come.

Clicked on this simply because I wanted something new and boy did it work out I love this

After a fairly rough few years, I began to feel isolated and trapped inside my own body...like a fish out of water who can't breathe if she isn't swimming. Music has been my god and salvation. This? Gave me wings today.

Cant believe there are thumbs down, listed here. Sate was a musical genius of his time. He will live on forever in our hearts.

For people who are in pain, physically or emotionally, Satie can soothe your heart, your body and your mind… it certainly helps me to find a little peace meanwhile it reminds me that I’m alive, and sometimes it is just fair to feel pain.

Gymnopédie No.1 is how I feel rainy days sounds like....
