Erik Satie - Gnossienne No.1 (Extended)

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...

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.

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...

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.

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

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

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

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 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

"Don't bend; don't water it down; don't try to make it logical; don't edit your own soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly." -Franz Kafka

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

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 ❤

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

"Yaşamı anlamak için yaş kırka gelmeli, derlerdi, işte geldim geçtim, yine yaşamı anlayamadım." -Eric Satie

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

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.

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

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.

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.

Muhteşem harikulade arada geliyorum dinlemeye Türkiye'den tüm müzik severlere selam

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.

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

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

Hüzün ve huzuru icinde barındıran muhteşem bir eser.

Bu muhteşem müziği dinledikten sonra acınası hayatıma dönebilirim

Duygularımı anlatmak için kelimeler kifayetsiz kalıyor bu muhteşem müziği dinlerken.

bu huzursuzluk meyvesini vermeli artık!!!

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.

This feels like a loved one has just died and you feel as if you should have been there for them and now it's too late and there is nothing you can do. This feels like a promising person who you adore and love turns out to be different than you thought. This feels like chasing your biggest goals and giving up, continuing life doing something less and reflecting on what could have been. This feels like breakup but you think you are in the wrong and not deserving of people.

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.

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.

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

Never felt alone while listening to this masterpiece ❤

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.

Depremden saatler önce bu parçayı dinliyordum hayatımın en önemli parçası oldu

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

This song is a musical visualization of a mind struggling to contain itself before it is slowly descending into madness. On Loop

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

This feels like when all fails but theres something inside of you telling you it was meant to happen but you cant see the good in the bad yet

May this incredible masterpiece and splendid composer never be forgotten.

Haunting melody gives me a chilling anxious feeling i feel as if im living in an old European city where the clouds are grey and its always raining i feel alone in this fantasy

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

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

This is my favorite piece of music.

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...

Işte düşündüklerimi anlatamıyorum. Insanlar neden yaşıyor, hatda bazıları bu anlamsız hayatda anlam aramaya çalışması beni sevindiriyor aslında. Bilmiyorum neden karamsarım, fakat çoğ şeye deyineceğim. Toplum mesela fazla aptalca. Insanlarin en ufak yanlışlarında hayat be demesi zaten cahillik. Hayat zor değil zor olan insan. Çünki kendi anahtarı her zaman elinde ve bunun farkında değil. Hayat zor değil zor olan insanın kaderidir. Zor olan insanın korkularıdır. Düşünsene 1yaşında ölen bebek hayatın ne zorluklarını gö bilir ki? Işte bende onu soyluyorum. Bizler birer böceğiz. Sırf tanrının keyfine göre yaşıyoruz. Mesela guts, hayatı çok götüydü fakat o mücadele etmeyi seçdi. Çünki aptal hayatda bir anlam aramaya çalışdı. Belkide o anlam onu tatmin etmeyecekdi. Fakat o ne pahasına bunu öğrenmek istedi. Griffith e gelirsek oda haklı hayalleri uğrunda savaşıyordu. Inan bana Newton bile kendi buluşlarına engel çıkan olsaydı onuda öldürürdü. Işte insanlar ezik. Kafkanın dediği gibi🥱🥱🥱

this is quite unsettling but I keep coming back and listening to it. It inspires an existential crisis for me.

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.

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.....

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

I find myself not being able to wait for the next note. A feeling of couriousness and anxiety. As i can not wait any long. Its wonderful

Anyone who identifies with this piece, I love you

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

Love this tune... always gives me goosebumps and the urge to cry... So inexplicable, yet beautiful.

I love this music ❤ makes me feel something I can’t even put into words, something cold, but at same time warm, something bad, but at same time good, something creepy, but at same time very familiar. Masterpiece!

This melody is eternal. A therapy for my inner soul.

Böyle bir parçanın var oluşu bile mükemmel hissettiriyor

The piece sets the soul vibrating and makes it dance. Over a lake under a starry sky. In an old ballet hall. In a swamp at night. It makes us feel something we cannot describe. Either joy, sadness, anger, depression of any extreme. It feels like finally arriving home after a long time. Words are not big enough to describe this piece.

so soothing yet something mysterious is left behind in the back of my mind, a mysterious feeling of comfort and love...

If limbo were a train station, this would be played over the loud speakers of the platform. People would sit on the benches waiting for a train that never arrives reading blank newspapers and smoking unlit cigarettes. For eternity...

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.

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

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

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..
