Erik Satie
Alfred Éric Leslie Satie (Honfleur, 17 May 1866–Paris, 1 July 1925) was a French composer, pianist, and writer.
Over the years, Erik Satie was described as a precursor of movements and styles as varied as Impressionism, Neo-Classicism, Dada, Surrealism, Conceptual art, minimalism, and ambient music. As well as taking the first steps towards techniques such as prepared piano and music-to-film synchronisation, Satie became one of the first musicians to perform a cameo appearance in a film Read Full BioAlfred Éric Leslie Satie (Honfleur, 17 May 1866–Paris, 1 July 1925) was a French composer, pianist, and writer.

As well as taking the first steps towards techniques such as prepared piano and music-to-film synchronisation, Satie became one of the first musicians to perform a cameo appearance in a film, in 1924's Entr'acte by the French filmmaker René Clair.
Satie appears to have been the avant-garde to half of the avant-garde movements of the twentieth century. He was in contact with Tristan Tzara, the initiator of the Dada movement. He got to know the other Dadaists, such as Francis Picabia (later to become a Surrealist), André Derain, Marcel Duchamp and Man Ray. Satie contributed to the Dadaist publication 391. In the first months of 1922, he was surprised to find himself entangled in the argument between Tzara and André Breton. Satie originally sided with Tzara, but managed to maintain friendly relations with most players in both camps.
Satie is today regarded as a key modernist composer. As well as influencing contemporaries such as Claude Debussy, who orchestrated two of Satie's Gymnopédies, Maurice Ravel, and a group of composers known as the Les Six, his tendency towards simplicity and repetition continue to inform modern avant-garde genres.

Pessoa Reclusa
Gymnopédie, música de Erik Satie
Que traz melancolia em cada nota
E me faz sentir a solidão
Das ruas vazias e escuras
Não há alegria nessa composição
Apenas uma melancolia suave
Que me envolve como um manto
E me leva a lugares distantes
Ouço as teclas do piano
Que deslizam sem pressa
Como uma brisa suave
Que sussurra ao meu ouvido
E sinto a tristeza da noite
Que se aproxima lentamente
Como uma névoa densa
Que obscurece a luz do sol
Mas ao mesmo tempo, há uma beleza
Nesse som triste e solitário
Que me acalma e me inspira
E me faz sentir vivo, mesmo na escuridão
Gymnopédie, música de Erik Satie
Que me faz sentir a alma da música
E a beleza da melancolia.

As she watched her little girl laugh and play with her father in the lavender field she had grown up by, she realized that she was breaking the pattern that her parents had set in place. Her daughter was happy and smiling with her dad she knew would never leave them. 'Why couldn't i have that?' she thought to herself with a stoic smile on her face. She was doing so much better than her parents had done with her and she was finally proud of herself. If only they could see her now. They would realize what they had done.
"mommy! mommy!" she's brought back to the real world as she hears her daughter calling her name, running towards her with a big smile on her cute little face. She has the tiniest handful of lavender for her mother, as she was only 4 and about as tall as a large baby doll.
"These are for you mommy!" the girl says.
Her voice sounds like heaven flowing down to earth, her eyes like stars. She's just like the little girl the woman always wanted. Her favorite song as a child was Erik Satie - Gymnopédie No.1 and the little girl reminded her of that song.
She took the flowers, and stared at them.
"Thank you my darling," She said in a silvery voice and looked back up at the child with a grin. "They are beautiful and i'll keep them until they can't be kept anymore." The happy little girl lit up with zeal and smiled as wide as she possibly could.
"Thank you mommy!!" The little girl runs back to her father and the woman catches his eyes from across the field. He smiles. She smiles back, golden brown hair flowing in the wind. She knows her daughter is safe now.
They're safe.
Her name was Leslie.
She treats her children as her mother treated her.
Leslie knows only what was on the surface of her mother's life and what had happened to her as a little kid.
Her mother died at 47.
Her husband lived on and kept her story with him and saw her everywhere.
He was very much in love with the woman.
He was also the only one who knew her family secret and knew about everything that had happened to her.
idk i wrote what this song made me think abt.. pls dont hate ill cri

This song is not sad, it’s not happy. It’s nostalgic. It’s both. And it makes me want to cry and laugh.

@MrGodofcars Well, give your a definition, surely it is more assertive.
