Mixtape II

Piano music for a rainy Monday



1. Erik Satie - Gnossienne, 1. Lent

Tut, tut, looks like rain.

- A.A. Milne

2. Eleni Kalaindrou - By the Sea
Whenever people talk to me about the weather, I always feel quite certain that they mean something else. And that makes me quite nervous.
- Oscar Wilde

3. Yann Tiersen - Comptine d'un autre été

Haven't had a dream in a long time.

- The Smiths

4.  Max Richter - Andante Reflection

Look at the rain long enough, with no thoughts in your head, and you gradually feel your body falling loose, shaking free of the world of reality. Rain has the power to hypnotize.

- Haruki Murakami

5. Arvo Pärt - Fratres for cello and piano

My sorrow, when she's here with me, thinks these dark days of autumn rain are beautiful as days can be; she loves the bare, the withered tree; she walks the sodden pasture lane. 
- Robert Frost

6. Frédéric Chopin - Prelude #4 in E Minor

We'll always have Paris

- From 'Casablanca'

7. Claude Debussy - Clair de Lune

...All sing in a minor key
Of victorious love and the opportune life,
They do not seem to believe in their happiness
And their song mingles with the moonlight...

- Paul Verlaine

8. Yann Tiersen - Watching Lara

And the rest is rust and stardust.

- Vladimir Nabokov

9. Thomas Newman - Any Other Name

Danny: You want to get married?
Sam: Can't. Got to go out later.

From 'He Died With a Felafel in His Hand'
