Cecilia And The Satellite
Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness Lyrics

I lock myself in a hotel room
Been waiting 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 17
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
Through 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

I've cafe crawled through Amsterdam
I've 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

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

I heard this song for the first time the day after my dad died. My name is cicely but my family occasionally calls me Cecilia. I bawl my eyes out everytime I hear it. He didn't want me to be afraid. And sometimes.. this song makes me feel like he's moving through me, like a satellite does through space. Guiding me. Protecting me. Sometimes this song is the only thing that makes it okay for a moment that he's gone.

Plus the silly name doesn't help-it sounds more like the description of a lost soul off his medication than an actual singer or band.

The rest of his music is underrated. I've actually heard this song on the radio. But he's actually been releasing music since he was a teenager in the late 90s, early 2000s. First with his band, Something Corporate and then with his second band, Jack's Mannequin.

Directly from Andrews Website:

Cecilia and the Satellite
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.

I think this song is about the little girl (baby) who was born, but then her mother died while giving birth. I think that the baby is Cecilia. The father is saying how he will protect his daughter and how she should't be afraid. I think the book that they are reading is a book that Cecilia's mother made for her, but died before she could give it to Cecilia. Since the mother died, in heaven she is finally able to do all the things she wrote and drew in this book. The father is showing the book to Cecilia since that is what her mother wanted. I could be wrong but that was just my take on it.

I lock myself in a hotel room
Been waiting 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 17
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
Through 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

I've cafe crawled through Amsterdam
I've 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

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

And you're the sky

And you're the sky

I'm the satellite
And you're the sky

And you're the sky

I met Ceclia when she was 9 months old. She often tours with him. According to Andrew it is about his daughter. He had writer's block and someone suggested that he write a song to his daughter. So, yes, it is about his past and his relationship with her. I keep missing here. She was in SLC last summer, but she was flying out the next day. I keep telling him I want to see her again. I love kids.

stuntacore Very true, and those politics are strongly affecting the quality of most, but not all, promoted music. Its gotten sparce like in the late 80s for different reasons but same effect.

The "Wilderness" part in the band name is in reference to his tastefully thick beard.

This song is being played on 97x in Tampa FL. My 8 yr old girl and 6 yr old boy begged me to Google this artist. Well done Mr. McMahon- my dad thinks you sound like Coldplay, my daughter remembered your lyrics and my son harmonized nicely to this! The Tucketts in Florida love you:)
