Owl introduced me to this song in this epic post here. Since then, my son was born and I discovered that whenever he is upset I put this song on and he IMMEDIATELY stops crying and just listens intently. It really is something to witness. I've listened to this song hundreds and hundreds of times since being introduced to it. Thanks again Owl.

You know, when these were first performed they were described as "Furniture music"? They were written as background music, and don't go anywhere musically. Best background music EVER. Also, Satie was once told his music had "no shape", so he wrote three pieces in the form of a pear. ... They don't look like a pear at all. I was incredibly disappointed. But then, Satie was a crazy person.
