Classical fall

I've always thought this was a beautiful piece of music, and kind of the perfect melancholy soundtrack to a fall day. Today I heard it in the background of a Radio Lab piece and was inspired to look it up.

It's Gymnopédie No. 1, by French composer Erik Satie. It's been used in these movies and television shows as well.

And here's some Flight of the Conchords, in case Satie leaves you feeling too blue.
