Hello classical music lovers! you can now discover unknown masterpieces, create lists, discuss and review works/composers on our new website classicalmusiconly.com
I agree, every here or there, I just come back to this movement of Carnival of the Animals. On top of the beauty of the movement, I am a cellist and I have a bias for many cello pieces over other music.
I'm here in 2024. It's amazing how they could fully and graciously convey deep-rooted feelings inside human with pure melodies, no words needed back then.
I'm a 67 year old classical music lover as of today, and I have no qualms at all or an iota of hesitation or admission of guilt in admitting that this piece moves to tears absolutely every time I hear it.
melancholy but I can’t decide what kind. it’s like walking through a blooming garden in the rain. and yet it’s sunny, like golden hour at the seashore when the sun slips past the horizon before dropping into the next day. this song makes me imagine all of the love stories that have happened, are happening, and are to be; each their own story. melancholy because you realize each story only happens once, and so yours will never be like someone else’s fairytale, but it’s sweet all the more because it’s unique and serene. you could cry and laugh to this song. it’s brimming with emotion.
this song makes me feel like i’m just in the middle of something tragic. like i’m slowly watching someone i love just leave me. right infront of my eyes. with no clarity whatsoever i’m just lost and at the end empty. it hurts to know that you are alone but eventually accept the fact that you can’t feel the love that the person you lost portrayed to you and it just feels like total shit. you might tell yourself that you have moved on, but have you really ?? sometimes all you crave is their touch and or reassurance once again just to feel their warmth and not to feel like total shit.
sometimes i find myself thinking and i feel as if i really need him back in my life again. like can i really continue on without him. without his love, his words, his warmth. or just him in general. did he really have to go ?? i don’t know but he’s watching me from heaven and i realllyyy really really reallly realllyyyyy miss him, he didn’t deserve to go the way he did. and i feel like it was all my fault. i could’ve done something about it. i could’ve held him in my arms. i could’ve told him that it was going to be alright, but i can’t lie to the love of my life ... i miss you so much reyli. may you rest in piece babes and i hope you know that i truly love you and always will forever. happy 11 years
this happened to me and my best friend back then...one day we met each other and had a great time and then we never met up again. I still don't know what happened between us and I just can't get over it because there has never been an explanation and now she won't talk to me anymore or answer my texts. This happened 5 years ago but I still think about her a lot...
My grandad played this regularly to me just before he died a few years ago. He was in the Birmingham symphony orchestra, I’ve never heard something so beautiful and I’m not a classical music person but the way he played it I was mesmerised. Beautiful piece, and every time I hear this it reminds me of him.
More than 10 years ago I posted a msg on how this piece moves me to tears every time I hear it. Just last year, I happened to check the comments and I was blown away to see more than 1,000 likes you folks had expressed in reply. I was and am deeply moved by how many people expressed concern since I had not checked in in 10 years after the OP! I’ve answered several recent msgs but my answers may be getting buried in the original thread. So I’ll express myself here, on top of the comments, as it were. Thank you, all of you, for your heartwarming expressions of concern and support! I assure you I am still alive and well, albeit 10 years older, and I still tear up when I hear this marvelous piece!
This song was playing last week in my mom's hospice room where she was sedated. Interestingly, this is my favorite song to play on the piano. It will, until my last breath, be what I share with my mom. RIP Mom. I know where your are and that I will see you again someday!!
I feel for you. One of our dear family friends played this at my dad's funeral when he passed. The image of the elegant swan, beautiful, productive,fleeting and striking to all who they met in life. I'm sure your mother loved classical music as much as my father did. And this was a gift which they shared w us. Thank you for sharing your story I wish you the best carrying forward your mother's legacy.
@@loink4059 hey, um please dont use the r-slur, cause The R-word is a form of hate speech that stands for “retard,” “retarded,” or other offensive words ending in “-tard.” While “mental retardation” was originally introduced as a medical term for people with intellectual disabilities, so it's just offensive to use it that way!
2:05 This feels like watching the love of your life walking away from you in the rain after they’re moving away forever. You stand there in the heavy rain, all the happy memories going through your head, hoping they look back at you, but they don’t. You can’t help but smile through the bitter sweet tears you’re trying to convince yourself are just raindrops. Your love was gone and they weren’t coming back. But the memories left behind from this seemingly fairytale relationship were perfectly satisfactory that you didn’t need the last glance back, for you knew that that glance would destroy your satisfaction and replace it with grief and longing. That chapter was gone and you didn’t know what the new chapter would be or when it would start but you were perfectly fine with that.
this is what falling in love sounds like (edit: i’ve gotten a lot of hate comments and decided to clear things up.guys this is just how i feel. It may be different for everyone and that’s ok)
Remember when we were kids and your parents forced you to listen to classical music and you thought it was boring, but when you grow up you listen it again and you realize how good it is
@@Leokipo It's from "Carnival of the animals", a suite of 14 movements intended as a joke. The Swan is an outlier though, as it is the only one Saint-Saens saw as a serious piece of music, and the only one he allowed to be played in public during his lifetime (the rest being published after his death). So the original comment was kinda, sorta right.
@@LeokipoIt’s true and can be verified in a number of articles that can be found using safari , bing or google. I like when I lose my illusions. It’s indicative of emotional and spiritual growth. Now if discovering this new information leaves you bitter and let down, then you’re expending too much energy holding onto anger because its pay-off is more valuable than the truth.
This song feels so painful and yet freeing like moving on from something while your still in agony. Such agony that makes your insides turn and twist. Agony that makes your heart ache like its never ached before. Agony that tears into you like a predator to its prey. And yet you have come to the whole hearted decision that you must move on and live. Knowing that this pain will heal and that your pain will make you stronger than you ever were before. Makes me think of old memories with a certain someone in my life. Memories that play like a movie in my head every single time this plays. And when the movie is done and the song continues all I see is the future of what could be
One of the most, if not the most beautiful pieces of music to ever be produced by our race. We deserve nothing yet some of us deserve so much. What a weird world. Thank you Saint-Saëns.
As the dark slowly fades away one day a new shining bright light will come to our lives and illuminate it for as long as we have hope for a better beginning do not let 2020 be a sad end but a new beginning to a more hopefilled year
When I was a kid, I used to listen to a fairytale segment on the radio every evening before going to bed and this piece would usually play in the intro. Hearing this brought back a memory I completely forgot about
This song makes me think of memories, things that have past. Maybe something reminded you of something important or beautiful from your past, it just brings up such RAW emotion. This song really sounds like a closed chapter to me, but in a beautiful and dignified manner. Everytime I hear it I just can't help sobbing. This song speaks to my soul. ❤️❤️😭❤️❤️
This shit is a bop, I literally love all music, I make hard dubstep and electronic music, but growing up learning music theory and the history of music itself I love this shit, the theremin is a beautiful instrument
I feel so lost in my life, but for some reason this puts me at ease. as if I'm in familiarity, in somewhere I belong that makes me no longer lost. this doesn't make sense but yeah, I'm holding back tears.
Sometimes from the very beginning, we know what the ending will be . Yet every time, we cling on to that small bit of hope that maybe this time, it’ll be different . So much so that when it starts to happen, you lie to yourself, tell yourself it’s all fine . That it’s all in your head, until that one moment that leaves you without any other option but to accept the fate waiting on this path . So you cry, because you had really hoped things would’ve been different this time, and you feel your mind trying to close everything off . As if all the doors are being closed, the curtains have been drawn, so no one sees inside . You’ll keep going until that ending happens, and you’ll close yourself off for a while . Just like you always do, until you meet someone who makes you think, that things might be different just this one time .
This song sounds like: •Watching your kids run through your front yard with the love of your life during sundown while sipping tea •Looking in the mirror and noticing your imperfections but loving them •Eye contact •The feeling of being content with everything •your soulmate fixing your tie and kissing you on the cheek
"Veo a la muerte, con su pristina elegancia arcaica, moviéndose a un paso tan lento que confundía cada uno de los sentidos. Su túnica blanca, la cuál elegía para ocasiones especiales, danzaba por si sola con cada gesto y ademán de su mortifica dueña; la veía pasar, rozando apenas, entre aquellos bailarines de vicio monstruoso, en carcajadas y burlescos gestos. ¡Que bella que eres, cadavérica promesa! Traes contigo paz y sosiego;fue tu armonía quién irrumpió en esa orgía repulsiva y con tu amabilidad indiscriminada trajo silencios que tantos años deseé presenciar. Embebido en tu aroma de almendras, luchaba por seguirte el paso con mis ojos cansados ¡Que macabro desfile! No necesitaba ya mis pulmones, ni el tacto en mis pies. A ti te necesitaba, y de hace tantos años. Quién diría que fui el último de esa noche en captar tu atención, y como siempre fue mí suerte más no mí acostumbrada miseria, te reiste triste de mí suplicio e ignoraste mis lágrimas de alivio. Dejando tu rastro en el agua fría, desapareciste en el horizonte del calmado lago, dejándome tu perfume gélido como manto y el silencio de los cadáveres como compañía."
Michelle Warns I don't know about that but this is part of "The Carnival of the Animals." This is the only piece he published. The rest was released later.
Dear Readers, To whomever is reading this, I wish you the best in life, for you deserve it. I love you, and you will do great things in life. Sincerely, Me
I don't know if anyone may ever notice my comment however, this is my favorite noise to have ever heard. I was in 5th grade when we had an orchestra come play Carnival of the Animals for us. What I felt that day, in that moment.. is so indescribable. But it was one of the most beautiful moments of my life. I have a beautiful, loving, and tender girlfriend now. I fall more and more in love with her each and every day. And seeing her, hearing her voice, meeting her eyes... it always feels like I'm back in that theater, in that moment... when my heart finally heard and understood the sound of love. Lucy, I love you.
Bittersweet is the perfect description. Like the sadness you feel when reflecting on good moments in the past. Sad because they’re over, but happy because they happened.
Bro this song is like the person you love the most in the whole world is slowly detaching from you and is finding someone else but in their heart they love you more 😫 DAMN HOW DEEP
You can feel it switching from sorrow to anger and then again until resolving on melancholy, ending in acceptance. A true heartbreak song. When you’re going through memories from sad to mad to fond. When you can’t even stay angry at your beloved so you just mull in melancholy until all that’s left is acceptance. Pure grief.
This piece is just so comforting and it's as though the music cradles my heart. So many emotions and ways to interpret this , some say this is what falling in love feels like, some pain and sadness and fear of letting go . And I'm astounded by how people can be brave enough to let out their feelings with this song. I hope everybody will find their comfort and happiness and let go if their fears with the help of music .
i think it's a good thing if people are here becouse they hear this music in fallout 4..It means that there are still people that are able to recognize a good song..even if they are fighting against a mutant! Ps i'm not english so for sure i have done some mistakes!
It's only good if you feel a certain emotion and depth that the composer intended and put his soul into. If you just think about a video game which is not reality, you're defeating the soul of the song. P.S. I have over 1000 hours on TF2 so i'm not bias against video games
@@ianhecox5000 im not sue I agree. the fantastic thing about music is that it can rework old pieces in new ways. maybe not always the most beautiful but this way we get medieval music in Disney movies and video games! pretty cool, even if the intention of the original composer isn't being brought forth
.+*To the person reading this*+. You did well today, with this song I want to give you an image. Imagine you and your lover of 50 years, you two are deeply in love and as your lives slowly fade away your love for each other grows. As your days lessen, you slip on your old wedding rings on to your light withered hands. You dance to this remembering the day you two got lost in each other's gaze. "I love you" you're lover says with a soft old sigh as they hold on to your hands. You two get the chance to leave your old cottage in the field and lay in the sun baked warm grass. Laughing. Crying. Enjoy but missing the moments that have gone by. @Ghosty__Bee -Your old friend 🪴🌙✨
The power of this piece is insane. Through the years I've listened to it at good times and bad times and happy and sad times. And it always makes me cry. What a masterpiece.
This song takes me back to all the heartbreaks I've felt, but at the same time, it gives me an overwhelming sense of hope. Hope that I'll find something truly happy in the future. Takes me back to the days past when i felt truly at peace with life.
For some, odd reason, of which I can not properly articulate, this is very peaceful and calming. This music is pure. It's welcoming, like the gentle embrace of a parent. It is comforting, soothing. It is precious. Upon listening to this, I find myself to be relaxed. I feel as though I am loved. The worries are gone, replaced by happy thoughts and memories. I am whole. I am in control. I am Calm. I am at peace.
One of the most perennially beautiful melodies ever created by man. This is how music can speak to you, turn your insides out and make you a better person for having heard it.
This song reminds me of my first and only love. Here’s why. The beginning is very happy. It was October. My class went on a field trip(pre COVID)and I sat beside my friend on the bus. On the way home from the field trip I got upset about something. Then my friend hugged me. We both had little crushes on each other. I grabbed his hand. On the ride home I fell asleep on his shoulder. We then agreed to date. He was the first boy I ever kissed. I was a naive 15 year old who had no clue what she was getting into. Both of us were happy. The middle of the song gets sad and sounds dreary. 3 days before my 16th birthday I got a voicemail from him. I was so excited to hear it. Then that excitement turned to heartbreak. He said he was leaving me. I was confused because he wasn’t really clear on why he was leaving. I stayed angry at him for a long time. Then I fell into depression. I was having thoughts of self harm. I had no motivation. I didn’t eat, shower, or really do much of anything. Then school started back. (This is during the Rona time so we had to wear masks) in one of my classes it was only me and him. My first initial thought was “oh no this is bad.” The end of this song is happy again. We fell back in love. Both 17 and had matured a LOT. You would be surprised what a difference a year and a month can make. We were two different people that we were a year ago. He(along with a psychiatrist)helped me overcome my depression and we’ve been re-dating for almost 7 months now. This song has a deep meaning to me
as soon as i read the book 'A THOUSAND BOY KISSES' i came here to listen to this song but i am honestly heartbroken how nobody have any idea about the story of Rune & Poppy and the connection they have with this song💔
When I want to escape from the sad reality in this world I go and listen the beautiful classic music it’s so beautiful there so many Beautiful words in every language that can’t still describe this masterpiece🤍
I remember being a little kid in elementary school music class. My music teacher turned off all the lights and brought out a projector of some kind (it was the early 90s). She played the Carnival of Animals, most of it, and all the while turned a little knob to flip to the next image projected on the wall that went with it. For some reason, as an adult, I thought it was a little bit animated, but it was just those old 80s pictures on a projector. I'm not sure why, but as a child, Carnival of Animals sounded threatening at the beginning with such deep and powerful sounds. It was a weird dreamy sound to me, and I didn't hear it in the way it was intended. When it got to the Swan, the teacher flipped through a series of paintings of a beautiful white swan slowly turning black, which was meant to depict it slowly dying. When it fully turned black, it was death. This utterly terrified me and I left the room. Granted, I had an anxiety disorder and we'd listened to Danse Macabre with a series of pictures before that (it had death playing violin for dancing skeletons, some of which became horrifying at the end with glowing eyes. It's actually on RUclips.). The Swan segment has left an eerie feeling ever since, and it unnerves me. Thanks for traumatizing me, Mrs. Goldfuss. Man, school back then was wild. We didn't have cute cartoon animals to look at like kids do now. We got creepy projections of really dark paintings.
I know people in the comments have already said this but this does sounds like what it feels like to fall in love I personally think. It also feels like all sorts of skyrocketing emotions, but the exact continuous levels in your head. It feels like when you fall in love and you’re just so content thinking about them and happy. Not only that, but finding out they like you too. That’s when you’re truly content fully with them and that’s what this song feels like
the swan has always been my favorite song to play on piano tiles. when i was younger, i used to sit and replay the song just to hear how perfect it was :)
There is a comment in this thread from 10 years ago from Mr. Tom Seeley. He would now be 77. I hope you’re doing alright and maybe someday soon you’ll respond to the comments of those worrying about your well-being. If you ever see this... love your musical playlists on your RUclips channel. Hopefully the people in this comment section will hear from you soon!
My confession is this song doesn’t make me feel sad or depressed it’s actually brings me life. The way the music speaks it’s like “life” you have your highs and lows but in this piece the highs are always outweighing the lows. Just listen…..
This might be the most calming piece of music I have ever heard. The slow, beautiful, peaceful violins that seem to be flawlessly and smoothly gliding in the air with the gorgeous harp playing in the background giving the music an almost magical and dreamy sound to it. It makes me think of a ballerina gracefully dancing or someone peacefully sleeping in a beautiful field….That’s how I would describe this song peacefully beautiful…
This makes me nostalgic, because my mom had a CD of carnival des animaux when I was little and I loved the songs so much that I used to listen to them all the time... Good times

I can intensely feel the soul of this masterpiece by Saint-Saens.
Me too. And I am learning it on piano 🎹.
Remember when we were kids and your parents forced you to listen to classical music and you thought it was boring, but when you grow up you listen it again and you realize how good it is
No
Ehh, my parents actually never forced me to listen to classical musica at all
yup
wasn't my parents, it was my band director.....
I've always been enchanted by it I'd always day dream in car trips when it was playing making a world in my head with the music
I used to rock my baby boy to sleep while this masterpiece played on loop. He’s 22 now. 💗
aww 💘
that’s adorable 🥺🥺
awwww HELP HELP THATS SO CUTE T.T

Aww
A lovely lonely swan, must of have captured Saint-Saens' heart that morning on that cold lake, and compelled him to write such a masterful piece!

The Swan is an outlier though, as it is the only one Saint-Saens saw as a serious piece of music, and the only one he allowed to be played in public during his lifetime (the rest being published after his death). So the original comment was kinda, sorta right.
eh to be fair this specific piece was more serious and was published when Saint-Saens was alive so it's not really surprising
@@LeokipoIt’s true and can be verified in a number of articles that can be found using safari , bing or google. I like when I lose my illusions. It’s indicative of emotional and spiritual growth. Now if discovering this new information leaves you bitter and let down, then you’re expending too much energy holding onto anger because its pay-off is more valuable than the truth.
@@liamgaineNot a joke, but a not 100% serious work.

+innocent potato Most beautiful piece of music I've ever heard.

This song feels so painful and yet freeing like moving on from something while your still in agony. Such agony that makes your insides turn and twist.
Agony that makes your heart ache like its never ached before.
Agony that tears into you like a predator to its prey.
And yet you have come to the whole hearted decision that you must move on and live. Knowing that this pain will heal and that your pain will make you stronger than you ever were before.
Makes me think of old memories with a certain someone in my life. Memories that play like a movie in my head every single time this plays. And when the movie is done and the song continues all I see is the future of what could be
Such a great description, this is exactly how I feel, you put it in to words 💕
Damn you nailed it.
this makes me feel comforted, it makes me tear up.

One of the most, if not the most beautiful pieces of music to ever be produced by our race. We deserve nothing yet some of us deserve so much. What a weird world.
Thank you Saint-Saëns.

This aged like milk
The legend is that before a swan dies it sings a beautiful and mournful song.
😭
Stunning. It’s like a cold breeze but also warm. Like it gives you clean air. And it also bring back memories you never had. Somehow.
When I was a kid, I used to listen to a fairytale segment on the radio every evening before going to bed and this piece would usually play in the intro. Hearing this brought back a memory I completely forgot about
brings me to tears every time.
That's a relief I am not the only one :D
Cynthia Buns i feel the same!!
This song makes me think of memories, things that have past. Maybe something reminded you of something important or beautiful from your past, it just brings up such RAW emotion. This song really sounds like a closed chapter to me, but in a beautiful and dignified manner. Everytime I hear it I just can't help sobbing. This song speaks to my soul. ❤️❤️😭❤️❤️
Yes🥺❤️
I THANK GOD there's a video recording of Anna Pavlova dancing to this. Her last words as she lay dying? "Get my 'Swan' costume ready." :(
It wasn't a joke at all.
+Kyla Baldonado it wasnt a joke actually. anna wanted her swan costume to be the last thing she sees before she dies

It makes perfect sense, that in that beautiful moment.
Lost...discover new paths...surprises...adventures...do not stop...
Me too i feel so lost but i can t explain
Sometimes from the very beginning, we know what the ending will be . Yet every time, we cling on to that small bit of hope that maybe this time, it’ll be different . So much so that when it starts to happen, you lie to yourself, tell yourself it’s all fine . That it’s all in your head, until that one moment that leaves you without any other option but to accept the fate waiting on this path . So you cry, because you had really hoped things would’ve been different this time, and you feel your mind trying to close everything off . As if all the doors are being closed, the curtains have been drawn, so no one sees inside . You’ll keep going until that ending happens, and you’ll close yourself off for a while . Just like you always do, until you meet someone who makes you think, that things might be different just this one time .
Wow...😔

every single time no matter how many times I heard this master piece when come this part it's feel like my soul left my body and come back.💗☁️
This song sounds like:
•Watching your kids run through your front yard with the love of your life during sundown while sipping tea
•Looking in the mirror and noticing your imperfections but loving them
•Eye contact
•The feeling of being content with everything
•your soulmate fixing your tie and kissing you on the cheek
you described it perfectly wow.
THE LAST ONE 😭😭😭💕

I got goosebumps
you forgot the part where your sitting on your couch with your wife or husband in your home and it’s snowing

this song sounds like how it feels to fall in love. thats all good night
"Veo a la muerte, con su pristina elegancia arcaica, moviéndose a un paso tan lento que confundía cada uno de los sentidos. Su túnica blanca, la cuál elegía para ocasiones especiales, danzaba por si sola con cada gesto y ademán de su mortifica dueña; la veía pasar, rozando apenas, entre aquellos bailarines de vicio monstruoso, en carcajadas y burlescos gestos. ¡Que bella que eres, cadavérica promesa! Traes contigo paz y sosiego;fue tu armonía quién irrumpió en esa orgía repulsiva y con tu amabilidad indiscriminada trajo silencios que tantos años deseé presenciar. Embebido en tu aroma de almendras, luchaba por seguirte el paso con mis ojos cansados ¡Que macabro desfile! No necesitaba ya mis pulmones, ni el tacto en mis pies. A ti te necesitaba, y de hace tantos años. Quién diría que fui el último de esa noche en captar tu atención, y como siempre fue mí suerte más no mí acostumbrada miseria, te reiste triste de mí suplicio e ignoraste mis lágrimas de alivio. Dejando tu rastro en el agua fría, desapareciste en el horizonte del calmado lago, dejándome tu perfume gélido como manto y el silencio de los cadáveres como compañía."

The piece is also called "The Dying Swan," and it does have the pathos of a beautiful creature at its end.
He wrote this song after his son died. It's supposed to be about a swan crying in a bush, holding his dead gosling in his wings.
Michelle Warns I don't know about that but this is part of "The Carnival of the Animals." This is the only piece he published. The rest was released later.

Это точно!
Agree wholeheartedly!
I don't know if anyone may ever notice my comment however, this is my favorite noise to have ever heard. I was in 5th grade when we had an orchestra come play Carnival of the Animals for us. What I felt that day, in that moment.. is so indescribable. But it was one of the most beautiful moments of my life. I have a beautiful, loving, and tender girlfriend now. I fall more and more in love with her each and every day. And seeing her, hearing her voice, meeting her eyes... it always feels like I'm back in that theater, in that moment... when my heart finally heard and understood the sound of love.
Lucy, I love you.

@@chiibomatto there's so many ways to percieve it it's so cool
Bittersweet is the perfect description. Like the sadness you feel when reflecting on good moments in the past. Sad because they’re over, but happy because they happened.
I'm thinking of a swan. 🦢🤷
Bro this song is like the person you love the most in the whole world is slowly detaching from you and is finding someone else but in their heart they love you more 😫 DAMN HOW DEEP
*I’ve heard bits and pieces from social media - it’s my first time hearing the entire song and my pillow is wet. So beautiful!* ♥️
So you creamed into your pillow? This must be a love song after all.
You can feel it switching from sorrow to anger and then again until resolving on melancholy, ending in acceptance. A true heartbreak song. When you’re going through memories from sad to mad to fond. When you can’t even stay angry at your beloved so you just mull in melancholy until all that’s left is acceptance. Pure grief.
This piece is just so comforting and it's as though the music cradles my heart. So many emotions and ways to interpret this , some say this is what falling in love feels like, some pain and sadness and fear of letting go . And I'm astounded by how people can be brave enough to let out their feelings with this song. I hope everybody will find their comfort and happiness and let go if their fears with the help of music .
i think it's a good thing if people are here becouse they hear this music in fallout 4..It means that there are still people that are able to recognize a good song..even if they are fighting against a mutant! Ps i'm not english so for sure i have done some mistakes!
It's only good if you feel a certain emotion and depth that the composer intended and put his soul into. If you just think about a video game which is not reality, you're defeating the soul of the song.
P.S. I have over 1000 hours on TF2 so i'm not bias against video games
+Ian Hecox Well yes, certanly when i hear this song i don't think about a fallout 4, But i'm glad to have discovered It even through a video game!😊
Marta Sartore
well said and i agree with you
Marta, your English is absolutely perfect
@@ianhecox5000 im not sue I agree. the fantastic thing about music is that it can rework old pieces in new ways. maybe not always the most beautiful but this way we get medieval music in Disney movies and video games! pretty cool, even if the intention of the original composer isn't being brought forth
.+*To the person reading this*+.
You did well today, with this song I want to give you an image.
Imagine you and your lover of 50 years, you two are deeply in love and as your lives slowly fade away your love for each other grows. As your days lessen, you slip on your old wedding rings on to your light withered hands. You dance to this remembering the day you two got lost in each other's gaze. "I love you" you're lover says with a soft old sigh as they hold on to your hands. You two get the chance to leave your old cottage in the field and lay in the sun baked warm grass. Laughing. Crying. Enjoy but missing the moments that have gone by.

Riding my bike through the rain. Eyes closed, speeding down a hill. I wouldn’t be sad if this was the last song I ever heard :’)
this comment omg
Hey man... Be careful, people care about you even if it seems like no one does at that time.
The power of this piece is insane. Through the years I've listened to it at good times and bad times and happy and sad times. And it always makes me cry. What a masterpiece.
This song takes me back to all the heartbreaks I've felt, but at the same time, it gives me an overwhelming sense of hope. Hope that I'll find something truly happy in the future. Takes me back to the days past when i felt truly at peace with life.
Have I cried about how beautiful this piece is? Yes, yes I have. Have I choreographed a dance to it? Yes, yes I did.
Replay... Replay, replay, REPLAY!

You do realise you can just right click and loop, right?
I can't stop humming this song. It's so beautiful!
For some, odd reason, of which I can not properly articulate, this is very peaceful and calming. This music is pure. It's welcoming, like the gentle embrace of a parent. It is comforting, soothing. It is precious. Upon listening to this, I find myself to be relaxed. I feel as though I am loved. The worries are gone, replaced by happy thoughts and memories. I am whole. I am in control. I am Calm. I am at peace.
In my imaginary wedding I'm walking down the aisle with this playing
I cannot explain the feeling this song gives me. I am at peace

A simply gorgeous piece. I love the entirety of Saint Säens' Carnival of the Animals, but this is my favourite piece from the lot.

Hi it’s 18:40 I’m white and male
i love this truth well spoken and thank you!
I also love this particular comment ^^
Do you know any "gendered" music, though? :D
This song reminds me of my first and only love. Here’s why. The beginning is very happy. It was October. My class went on a field trip(pre COVID)and I sat beside my friend on the bus. On the way home from the field trip I got upset about something. Then my friend hugged me. We both had little crushes on each other. I grabbed his hand. On the ride home I fell asleep on his shoulder. We then agreed to date. He was the first boy I ever kissed. I was a naive 15 year old who had no clue what she was getting into. Both of us were happy. The middle of the song gets sad and sounds dreary. 3 days before my 16th birthday I got a voicemail from him. I was so excited to hear it. Then that excitement turned to heartbreak. He said he was leaving me. I was confused because he wasn’t really clear on why he was leaving. I stayed angry at him for a long time. Then I fell into depression. I was having thoughts of self harm. I had no motivation. I didn’t eat, shower, or really do much of anything. Then school started back. (This is during the Rona time so we had to wear masks) in one of my classes it was only me and him. My first initial thought was “oh no this is bad.” The end of this song is happy again. We fell back in love. Both 17 and had matured a LOT. You would be surprised what a difference a year and a month can make. We were two different people that we were a year ago. He(along with a psychiatrist)helped me overcome my depression and we’ve been re-dating for almost 7 months now. This song has a deep meaning to me
This brought a big smile on my face, thank you.
what a story waw
Hope you still together. If not I wish you to be happy again as soon as possible.
This song always makes me cry for no reason at all

When I want to escape from the sad reality in this world I go and listen the beautiful classic music it’s so beautiful there so many Beautiful words in every language that can’t still describe this masterpiece🤍
I remember being a little kid in elementary school music class. My music teacher turned off all the lights and brought out a projector of some kind (it was the early 90s). She played the Carnival of Animals, most of it, and all the while turned a little knob to flip to the next image projected on the wall that went with it. For some reason, as an adult, I thought it was a little bit animated, but it was just those old 80s pictures on a projector. I'm not sure why, but as a child, Carnival of Animals sounded threatening at the beginning with such deep and powerful sounds. It was a weird dreamy sound to me, and I didn't hear it in the way it was intended. When it got to the Swan, the teacher flipped through a series of paintings of a beautiful white swan slowly turning black, which was meant to depict it slowly dying. When it fully turned black, it was death. This utterly terrified me and I left the room. Granted, I had an anxiety disorder and we'd listened to Danse Macabre with a series of pictures before that (it had death playing violin for dancing skeletons, some of which became horrifying at the end with glowing eyes. It's actually on RUclips.). The Swan segment has left an eerie feeling ever since, and it unnerves me. Thanks for traumatizing me, Mrs. Goldfuss.
Man, school back then was wild. We didn't have cute cartoon animals to look at like kids do now. We got creepy projections of really dark paintings.
I know people in the comments have already said this but this does sounds like what it feels like to fall in love I personally think. It also feels like all sorts of skyrocketing emotions, but the exact continuous levels in your head. It feels like when you fall in love and you’re just so content thinking about them and happy. Not only that, but finding out they like you too. That’s when you’re truly content fully with them and that’s what this song feels like
the swan has always been my favorite song to play on piano tiles. when i was younger, i used to sit and replay the song just to hear how perfect it was :)
There is a comment in this thread from 10 years ago from Mr. Tom Seeley. He would now be 77. I hope you’re doing alright and maybe someday soon you’ll respond to the comments of those worrying about your well-being. If you ever see this... love your musical playlists on your RUclips channel. Hopefully the people in this comment section will hear from you soon!
This is making me cry
My confession is this song doesn’t make me feel sad or depressed it’s actually brings me life. The way the music speaks it’s like “life” you have your highs and lows but in this piece the highs are always outweighing the lows. Just listen…..

This might be the most calming piece of music I have ever heard. The slow, beautiful, peaceful violins that seem to be flawlessly and smoothly gliding in the air with the gorgeous harp playing in the background giving the music an almost magical and dreamy sound to it. It makes me think of a ballerina gracefully dancing or someone peacefully sleeping in a beautiful field….That’s how I would describe this song peacefully beautiful…
