I fell in love with Brandford Marsalis' treatment of this piece on his Romances for Saxaphone release some 20 years ago now. Not sure if trusting is the overriding impression it leaves one me, though. Idyllically mesmerized but vaguely nervous, yes. Trusting? Hmm. Beautifully haunting.

Not sure, but when the song first changes to a minor melody it brings that to my mind.

This style tends to be pensive. Satie's gymnopédie no.3 is one of his most famous pieces. It has been used many many times in advertisements. It's supposed to give you that dreamy feeling that makes you trust whoever's talking to you...so you'll go get that new cell-phone contract, or bank account, credit card or insurance pollicy. Sad, isn't it? Still, it's beautiful music, and will stay so. If you would like some similar pieces by other composers, try: Claude Debussy Francis Poulenc cheers and keep your ears open, Imo look, Satie was one of the grat composers of the earlier 20th century. his music belongs to the style of the impressionists.

Even if it's just dealing with some minute detail that's mundane but will never be witnessed again. The first film that jumped to mind was something like "Schindler's List."
