Distilled in the music is the life experience of an artist willing to take risks to satisfy an irrepressibly curious soul and all that entails—indulgence, wanderlust, love, lost love, joy and a lot of pain, youthful run-ins with the law, full release, redemption and resultant wisdom. The stories contained are at once personal and universal--steeped in a depth of experience that belies his age.
Call him mercurial. The Canadian expat troubadour has established a solid fanbase from his new home in Echo Park, California with performances that keep them guessing as to how he’ll throw it down that night. Solo acoustic w/finger-plucking flair (he’s an extraordinary guitarist), rockin’ quartet, levitation-inducing quintet with a keyboardist providing shimmering ambience…it’s never less than wonderful. Captivated audiences at the Hotel Café are in on one of the best kept secrets in Los Angeles and the rest of the world for that matter.

Satellite
Steve Reynolds Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Give up freely now
Burn strong
Get along like cold fire
Say
Float around like satellite
Cause your beautiful and I see you
It's a slight smile to a small child and it looks good on you
Cause your beautiful and I see you
Oh and it's not for sale
Its' not for sale
Cause you wear it well, and you know it
It's not for sale
It's not for sale
Cause you wear it well, and you know it
Watch the time I see you run around
Sit there tight I know that you needn't worry about it anymore
Cause your beautiful and I see you
Oh and it's not for sale
It's not for sale
Cause you wear it well, and you know it
It's not for sale
Its not for sale
Cause you wear it well, and you know it
It's not for sale
Its not for sale
Cause you wear it well and you know it
Time is ours
Time is ours
The meaning behind Steve Reynolds's song "Satellite" seems to be about love and appreciation. The first verse talks about giving love freely and burning strong. The line "Get along like cold fire" seems to juxtapose the two ideas of getting along and fire, which is usually associated with destruction. He then talks about floating around like a satellite, which can be interpreted as being free and unattached. The chorus repeats the phrase "It's not for sale" and emphasizes that it's not about material things or money. He talks about how the subject, who is beautiful, wears it well and knows it. The second verse talks about spreading kindness and how it looks good on the person. The line "Watch the time, I see you run around" may suggest how time can fly by and how it's important to appreciate the people around us. The song ends with the line "Time is ours," which may mean that time is precious and we should spend it with the people we love.
Overall, I think the song is about appreciating the people in our lives and not taking them for granted. It's also about love that is not dependent on material things, but rather on the way we treat and appreciate each other.

@lolomichelle7
Oh thats cool! Yeah, Roswell was a show my mom watched when I was a baby, and now that we have Netflix, i am completely obsessed with it! And I love the episode where they first kissed, i have seen it at least a billion times :) My band isn't really a band yet but we write music and sing to our friends and we are thinking about doing covers to songs and stuff like that.
