I've been writing music most of my life. Songs have always been the place where I've sorted out the events of day. If you trace these songs back far enough they tell a story of where I've been and what I've seen along the way. That said, most people don't have the time to sort through the hundreds of songs that have collected in the wake of my 20 plus years behind a piano, and that's why I love "Cecilia and the Satellite". As a song it encapsulate so much living against the back drop of a new life. Cecilia was written with the knowledge that my wife and I would soon meet our first child. With the hope of avoiding territory this type of song often treads, I tried to create a road map of the life I had lived leading up to that moment. One my daughter might look back on some day. A strange life of constant motion, spent traveling in the pursuit of music. A life I've nearly lost on more than one occasion and one which I am thankful for, now more than ever. Deep down this song is about more than me and where I've been, it's about more than my daughter and what I want for her. It's about being proud of where you come from and wanting the most for the people you share your world with.

LYRICS

I've locked myself in a hotel room

Then waited all night for the walls to move

I've loved some girls that I barely knew

I've made some friends, and I've lost some too

Crashed my car, I was seventeen

My mother in the seat riding next to me

The things I've learned from a broken mirror

How a face can change when a heart knows fear

For all the things my eyes have seen, the best by far is you

If I could fly, then I would know

What life looks like from up above and down below

I'd keep you safe, I'd keep you dry

Don't be afraid, Cecilia, I'm the satellite

And you're the sky

Oh, Oh

I've café crawled through Amsterdam

Been around the world with a punk rock band

And I've seen London, and I've played Japan

I've been knocked down, I got up again

For all the places I have been, I'm no place without you

If I could fly, then I would know

What life looks like from up above and down below

I'd keep you safe, I'd keep you dry

Don't be afraid, Cecilia, I'm the satellite

And you're the sky

Oh, Oh

I'm the satellite

And you're the sky

For all the things my hands have held, the best by far is you

If I could fly, then I would know

What life looks like from up above and down below

I'd keep you safe, I'd keep you dry

Don't be afraid, Cecilia, I'm the satellite

And you're the sky

And you're the sky

I'm the satellite

And you're the sky

And you're the sky
