1 Hour of Gymnopedie No. 1 by Erik Satie

1 hour of Gymnopedie No. 1, composed by Erik Satie.

Best version on YouTube. The rest have unbalanced equalisation, far too much treble and distortion on higher notes from over-compression. And they all have ads. Thanks

This may sound cheesy, but.
No matter the hardships life tosses at you, no matter what walk of life you come from...
You will endure. You hold your own life in your hands, and it's no one elses. ...And if you believe in your goals, and reach for them...
Then they'll take form in reality. Stay safe, I'm rooting for you.

[DoctorAids]

This song and its other versions bring out a surreal feeling in my mind. Anyone else?

Bless you for not putting any ads in between

I took a music theory class in college a few years back but was only there for a few classes due to personal reasons, and eventually dropped out entirely. Our teacher played this in our first class and I was beyond moved by the piece. I was never a fan of this sort of music, and in all honesty I still am not, but this piece.. just hit me differently. It's outstanding and gives me intense feelings of nostalgia whenever I hear it even though that was such a problematic and depressing time of my life. More people need to experience this piece.

Whoever you are. YES YOU! I wish you a good day and to not get sick or hurt.

[lavendelle_swift]

Listening to this when I am sad ... depressed.
*shed a tear*

[Kuka]

To who reads this,

You are loved, no matter what you’re going through right now, you are incredibly strong, I’m so proud of you.

[limitededition]

I forgot how calming this piece really is. It’s been months since I’ve laid down on my bed at night to simply soak in the notes and drift off to sleep.

[mims]

Thank you for making this piece of music available in this extended format.

[roy]

the funny thing is that it says 1 hour, but Satie composed this to be played for days, non stop

[FC-FlingLatraniz]

Hello random person, have a good day.

[eviesyou]

What a calmful day to listen to this at night. It's like I'm sleeping with someone who tells me that being borned with anger issues and depression is just okay.
Feels like I'm talking with a person, telling things I have passed, how bad was it. Without any communication

It's just so calming

[keedaroseheart]

I'm currently listening to this in the dark at 1 in the morning and it's so peaceful especially with the crickets in the yard

[azureskies]

I always remember this song because when I was 9, my school used to play this song after class. It took me years to discover the composer and title of the song. Even now... I'm still in love with it.

Scroll back up and finish your homework.

[zeroix]

When I listen to this it makes me feel surreal and strange, it feels like there's something in me that I'm not aware of but it's there, a feeling of sadness and loneliness, like I'm missing something in life, I just don't know what

[jimmyaronine]

I feel like this is more peaceful on gray days or rainy days.

[tejashweeraman]

I don't understand how can someone dislike it. Loveit... what a soothing sound.
