As I waited for the 1 train on 66th St-Lincoln Center, I saw a man probably in his mid sixties dressed in a long black coat with a beautiful tie. I watched him as he spoke on the phone. He said "I am trying! it is hard, i went to the park today..its nice to watch the kids play & going to these concerts once in a while helps." I saw melancholy in his expression, some pain or a loss...yet there were hints of festivity in that darkness in the way he dressed and the ribboned little gift bag he carried. The feeling i got of his world that day is what i mixed in this video. I chose this music as i love Satie, and the jazz version of the piece suited what i imagined perfectly..
