I was intrigued by this so I looked him up on Wikipedia, but can't find anything to this end. Could you possibly be thinking of someone else? Satie lived to the age of 59, whereupon he died of cirrhosis - after enjoying great success, fame, and the acquaintance of several major figures in the arts. As to the song: Wonderful. |

Boy_Wonder Feb 25, 2013 - 14:14 | Just heard the Stones belting their way through 'Midnight Rambler' and then straight into Erik.... what a sublime juxtaposition! |

Pedro1874 May 18, 2012 - 13:09 | What a great surprise to hear this beautiful piece of music on RP. It was used perfectly in the sound track to a wonderful, very deep, Woody Allen/Gena Rowlands/Mia Farrow movie - "Another Woman" 1988 |
glowworm May 18, 2012 - 13:05 | Introduced to this by my ex wife. One of two beautiful things the relationship gifted me (the other was my daughter). |

It appeared on BS&T's second LP, where David Clayton Thomas had taken over for Al Kooper (and ruined the band). |

It feels like the only way it could have come into the world is fully formed, lazily drifting down a sunbeam on a warm summer sunday, resting for a moment on a windowsill then tumbling into the dewey hedge below to snooze through the afternoon. It is a perfect thing. Plus I love being able to hear the performer's breathing on this track. A nice touch Then again, sometimes a sonata is just an etude. |
