Satellite is a Polish band formed in 2000 ,led by drummer, composer, and lyricist Wojtek Szadkowski and featuring most if not all of the members of another well-known outfit from that country, Collage, Wojtek included. So at least in some ways, Satellite can be considered Collage's reincarnation, especially since Wojtek was a primary mastermind behind that band too.
Band members:
Robert Amirian (vocals)
Sarhan Kubeisi (guitars)
Przemek Zawadski (bass)
Krzysiek Palczewski (keyboards)
Wojtek Szadkowski (drums; acoustic guitar)

Satellite's two albums, "A Street Between Sunrise And Sunset" (2003) & "Evening Games" (2005), were unanimously acclaimed sensational and got enthusiastic reception worldwide (front cover story in Colossus Magazine, reviews and interviews in Rock Hard, Eclipsed, iO Pages, Dutch Progressive Rock Page, and many, many more!). Their third release, album "Into The Night", proved that the band well deserves these words of praise. And even more!!!
Debut album was released on March 10, 2003 by Metal Mind Productions. It's follow up, "Evening Games", released in February 2005 reached no. 8 at the top100 best selling records in Poland.
At the beginning of June 2005 regular rehearsals started to make Satellite a real band not just Wojtek’s solo studio project. As the results on 22nd September 2005 Satellite recorded live DVD - "Evening Dreams" (2006).
2007 marks the return of Satellite. In March the band had a privilege to play at the famous Baja Prog Festival in Mexico and in November released third studio album entitled "Into The Night". In the meantime Satellite welcomed Jarek Michalski (bass) as a new band member.
In 2009 Satellite returns with a brand new offering – “Nostalgia”. As the band claims, it's their fourth and most mature offering. Most of the album was recorded in Wojtek Szadkowski’s home studio. He is also responsible for the music and lyrics for "Nostalgia". The music offered on the new album is a combination of the sound of the 70’s with the modern 21st century sound. The lyrics relate to each other in a loose manner - they're about coming to terms with the past, about the need for a change, starting anew, distancing oneself to one's own past. At the same time, ironically, the music on "Nostalgia" manifests a longing for the mood of the 70's and 80's.
"Nostalgia” - was released by Metal Mind Productions on 23rd February 2009 in Europe / 10th March 2009 in USA. The album is available in two formats: a standard CD and a digipak CD with two bonus tracks.

Hailing from Christchurch, NZ Satellite (named after the release of their 3rd album of the same name) started out with a vision to write relevant music that catered for (but was certainly not limited to) a youth audience for a local youth camp. Now after releasing 4 albums and numerous EP's Satellite's passion seems to be burning brighter still and they're always finding ways to stay relevant to those whom they're trying to speak to.
Their inviting and intense live show has showcased many stages including Parachute Festival, the Westpac Trust Centre (in Christchurch), the Get Smart Conference, as well as numerous festivals and events around New Zealand (including their stomping ground Eastercamp in Christchurch) playing to large crowd numbers wherever they go.
The Satellite collective has grown and changed in many ways since its initial conception, but that hasn't stopped any growth musically and spiritually... if anything it showcases the talent and passion that each musician (past and present) has to fulfill the Satellite vision. The current mixture of youth and experience has just finished their 5th album (Self-titled aka the Girl album) which was released at Eastercamp 2008!!!

Satellite is Steven McMorran, Mitch Allan, and Josh Dunahoo.
"There is no substitute for honesty in music. Every once in a while a song speaks to you; reminds you of how you really feel. We truly hope SATELLITE becomes a voice for the joy, heartache, beauty and truth of life." -Steven
When singer/songwriter Steven McMorran was invited to play at music producer Mitch Allan's Los Angeles-based "songwriter's night" in early 2009, a spark of inspiration was formed. A month later when Josh Dunahoo was added to the mix, SATELLITE was born. With influences ranging from Bruce Springsteen and Paul Simon to Radiohead and Snow Patrol, SATELLITE is ready to make their impact on the music world. While the band thus far is known primarily for their raw and heartfelt live performances, SATELLITE aimed to deliver the same emotion and energy with their debut EP, RING THE BELLS.

Silhouette
Satellite Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're giving everything but you're giving up
Filling in the lines so quietly
But sometimes what you get is what you need
You're waiting in the line behind the cloud
You're rising like the sun we're spinning round
But you're the only girl I've ever touched
You're hammering the nails you learned to trust
You're praying for the rain to feel the rust
Sometimes what we have is hard to see
And happiness is harder than it seems
When there's salt in every wound to feel the burn
There's fire in your eyes for lessons learned
But you're the only girl I've ever touched
And baby you are the one I love
So how long until I see you
How long until I'm there
Your silhouette across the morning
The light shinning in your hair
This is all I have to give you
You are all I have to live
And I can't find a way to hold you
But I can say it all again
The lyrics to Satellite's song Silhouette are a reflection of the complicated nature of love and life. The song conveys the frustration and melancholy of trying to navigate through the noise and messiness of the world. The song opens with the lines "Honey your dreams are big enough, You're giving everything but you're giving up" suggesting that the subject of the song may be struggling to achieve their dreams, but even in their struggle, they remain steadfast and make their way through their struggles. The lines "Filling in the lines so quietly, But sometimes what you get is what you need" suggest that the subject is a patient and diligent person who may not necessarily get what they want but they know what they need.
The chorus of "You're waiting in the line behind the cloud, You're rising like the sun we're spinning around, But you're the only girl I've ever touched, And baby, you are the one I love" highlights the triumphs and setbacks that life has in store for us. The lines suggest that the subject is fighting to rise above their challenges, but they are not alone, someone believes in them and has supported them throughout their struggles. The song continues with "You're hammering the nails you learned to trust, You're praying for the rain to feel the rust, Sometimes what we have is hard to see, And happiness is harder than it seems" which signify how even the most mundane tasks can be important when trying to create something meaningful, and that happiness is not always easy to come by.
The song's bridge "When there's salt in every wound to feel the burn, There's fire in your eyes for lessons learned, But you're the only girl I've ever touched, And baby, you are the one I love" signals that life's difficulties often come with lessons that can help us grow and become stronger. The lines suggest that the subject of the song may have their fair share of wounds from life's lessons, but they have grown stronger from it. The song ends with "So how long until I see you, How long until I'm there, Your silhouette across the morning, The light shining in your hair, This is all I have to give you, You are all I have to live, And I can't find a way to hold you, But I can say it all again" which may signify that even when apart from the one they love, they still hold them in their hearts, and all they have to give is their love.

You are all I have to live
You are what makes life worth living for.
And I can't find a way to hold you
I wish I could physically embrace you but can't.
But I can say it all again
I can remind you of my love and promise to keep expressing it.
