Erik Satie's "Gnossienne No. 1"

 It is hard to be so self-reflective about life without giving importance to the great composer Erik Satie.  His pieces have notes that don't have simple resolutions of a typical musical arrangement.  His notes produce unresolved feelings as the thoughts that are deep in our subconscious.  You find yourself questioning life, and its' not so trivial complexities.  Maybe the feeling is more abstract.  Maybe there are not exact questions you can ask, but just the isolated feeling vexing your mind from within the temporal lobe and beyond.
   Whatever the case is, Erik Satie with his, "Gnossienne No.1," has composed a short, fleeting moment that like deja vu, enters your thoughts, and then is gone in an instant.  Yet the thirst still remains.
    When you give yourself the liberties to hear this song, let your mind twist and turn in many different directions.  Let yourself feel that you have no grasp on anything, let yourself bend reality and the concept that gravity exists.  Understand that you don't have to understand and that the room has been filled more and more of the unknown then it was before you pressed play.  You are listening to the eternal human unanswered questions.
