Everyone recognizes Erik Satie's Gymnopedie no 1.
I feel like it was just used all over the place, subtly, all our lives. People can rarely name it. Everyone knows it.
Here's a piano version as well
I was looking for someone to mention this. It’s used so often in movies and television. I’m not surprised that people are saying they’ve never heard it. It’s always just some background music played in a scene, it’s never the focal point.
Not everyone. Where am I supposed to have heard this before?
It's in Minecraft?
But it's been in indie films since forever, and big films too.
E.g. https://youtu.be/X5fhZomlWb4?si=TlY0RwrYJDcELL3i
This from the same musical trilogy, Queens Gambit.
So yeah, I've never actually played Minecraft before, it's a few generations after I would have been the prime age to play it.
Well then you're of a generation that heard it in films.
Royal Tenenbaums, man on a wire...
So it’s not quite the version you played and it seems to be from older films. If I’ve heard it, I don’t recognize it and wouldn’t be able to point it out but I also didn’t play Minecraft that much.
I've also never heard this song before.
Yeah… it’s not even that good, imo.
I've heard it in random YT videos since at least 2013. Down The Rabbit Hole used it as a background track.
Funny I was just thinking about that song. Satie's work is kind of wild, although I was just reading about him and when he wrote it, he was a nobody and generally, even after fame, I don't think he even played it himself so much as other people did because he already moved on. Dude even worked with Picasso once, who everyone seems to know.
Guy was a nut, though, highly recommend reading up on him.
