I can see why that's your favorite, there is something very "rain-drop-esque" about the percussion. Also, this video is a trip, I dug it.

I recently took a long drive from Michigan to North Carolina and along the way it started raining which prompted both my wife and daughter to fall asleep. Just me, the rain and the road. I debated whether or not to put on some music and decided to give it a try. I put on Erik Satie's Gymnopedie no 1. -It was a great decision, it fit perfectly in the moment. Once again... thank you Owl for the introduction.

I absolutely love all the Gymnopedie songs. They make you feel nostalgic for something that's never even happened.

What a great way to describe them, that is exactly how they make me feel. It's the type of song that makes your life feel like it's now got a soundtrack. Like whatever you are doing is somehow weightier.
