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've been punched four times. Defenitly not my awesome twerking powers and random public dancing. Or my singing whilst doing E.T impressions or impressions of Hobo Joe(he's actually quite a nice guy when you get to know him, he used to own a rip off company of spaggettios).

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.

I do. Many reasons. Madonna for starters and then there's 'madonna, madonna, madonna' as actor Robin Williams once said. And there's another-robbie williams. Kylie Minogue, celine dion,diarrhianna, george ezra, none direction, paloma faith, christina perri, beponce knowles, rita orful, maroon 5, dry oasis, splice girls, rap, ed sheera, adele, simon cowell, pete waterman and slagdonna...need I go on?

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.

My baby's name is Cecilia because of this song... also I had a baby doll as a kid named her Cecilia too... also happens to be one of my moms favorite books growing up with a character named cecilia. Idk why but lol we gravitated to the name i guess!

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.

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.

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

Don't be afraid Cecilia

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

not exactly positive but I'm pretty sure the baby is Cecila and he is telling her how he will always protect her and the book is to show her that she can just let her mind wander and it's okay to do that... does that make sense? idk that's what i interpreted

As a new parent with a daughter just a bit older than Cecilia, this song really resonates with me. What a sweet little lady you have there, and what an incredible gift your music will be to her throughout her life. See you in State College next month! The DC show was great, and I'm thrilled you're coming to my town so I get to see you again!

Cecilia And The Satellite

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 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've been punched four times. Defenitly not my awesome twerking powers and random public dancing. Or my singing whilst doing E.T impressions or impressions of Hobo Joe(he's actually quite a nice guy when you get to know him, he used to own a rip off company of spaggettios). Anyways...yeah....I'm done.

Cry girl cry, from a 37 year medical person! Cry your eyes out and just breathe. It’s a healing for the soul. It helps you love others, you now know how they felt. Something tells me you will be fine. Love conquers all! You are full of it.

This song will forever hold a special place in my heart. 2 weeks ago on Sept 8, 2020 I was listening to YouTube and watching vids on my tv. I couldn't focus on anything, instead, I paced my house. This video came on and I stopped dead in my tracks and watched. About 3 hours later, I received the call that my Mom had passed.Life is too damn short. Live everyday like it's your last.

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.

After spending my high school years going to many Something Corporate shows and watching Andrew McMahon front that incredible group, it's fantastic seeing him finally get his due. And for everybody who loves him and just learned about him, check out Something Corporate!! (I'd imagine they're the punk band he refers to in the video since they went to Japan a lot, probably not Jack's)

This is a perfect example of Radio politics. Andrew McMahon has literally been making music this good for the past 10+ years, and it took this long for him to get the recognition he deserves!

Why? What are Radio politics?

Patrick Hanson

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. Technology splinters the machine and there is great music like this song out there, just has to be sought out more and more.

I thought it was Something Corporate, then Jack's Mannequin, then solo (now solo, but the project is aka In the Wilderness) Something Corporate broke when he had leukemia. That can tend to slow things down a bit. ;)
