Following are two, listed in order of prominence:
First band is Alternative / Alternative Rock / Pop Rock act from Springfield, MO.
“It’s been one hell of a ride so far.” That’s how vocalist Nick Bacon would describe the three-year existence of a project known as “Highland Fall.”
Started back in 2008, five long time friends banded together to try and make something of themselves and pursue a career in doing what they loved the most: music. It didn’t take long for them to gain a level of success, playing for large concert venues and large crowds around the Midwest and throughout the Eastern United States.
However, the “time has come for some change,” Bacon says, and the band has decided to recently release a new project, entitled “The Endless Summer.”
“We’ve completely re-vamped everything. New music, a new style, a new name, and more,” Bacon says of the new project, “We had even lost Tommy [Oerding, the band’s previous drummer], to the business world. He was fortunate enough to be invited to work as the A&R for new talent at Chicago Custom Percussion, and we had to wish him only the best out there. That company is going to be huge, and we knew that Tommy was going to play a huge part in it’s rise to the top.”
Shortly after, though, Oerding was back with the band and doing what he loved. "I just realized that I wanted to be part of something again," Tommy said, "I love building drums, but I love playing them even more, especially with these guys. We have a new start and it's a fresh chance to be one of the important faces of 'TES'." Oerding also had the chance while away from the band to do some touring with Plug In Stereo [Triple Crown Records], and has admitted that it has been enough to keep him solid and eager for more.
But the decision to change the band’s name was one of a rebirth. The band has recently released its debut EP entitled "Fairweather," which can be found now on iTunes and all major online media outlets.
"We are so excited about 'Fairweather'," Bacon reflects, "It really is the first step and the building block to what we are hoping to accomplish with The Endless Summer." The record reflects back on some of the "negative" aspects of life in general, and the band says that the best is still yet to come. Adds Nick, "We've gotten some things off of our chests, we've put out the negative through this EP, now it's time for the positive."
The band plans to be back in the studio with Producer Kevin Gates [Engaged Audio] this October, where they will record their sophomore EP. "This one is for all the marbles," concludes Bacon, "Summer is over for pretty much everyone; it's just beginning for us."

Second project formed as a full band in summer of 2009, The Endless Summer has now become a solo project with music written and performed by Jared Auble. His first album was released in August of 2010 with recordings done by Leo Sypniewski, who was also the featured drummer on the song "Mischief Kids".

Satellites
The Endless Summer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I could be what you want
Maybe I'm the last one trying
To make me be your only one
But when the world sees my face i don't know what to do
But its a fact the radio waves bring me back to you
Up high the stars look like
Satellites satellites satellites all night
But every time i close my eyes
The satellites turn into stars again
Whenever i think i cant fly
The satellites satellites bring me back to life
But every time i shut my eyes the satellites turn into stars again
Well now I'm breaking out
I'm out of my head
But now I'm counting down
I'm counting down again'
But when the world sees my face
I don't know what to do
But its a fact the radio waves bring me back to you
Up high the stars look like
Satellites satellites satellites all night
But every time i close my eyes
The satellites turn into stars again
Whenever i think i cant fly
The satellites satellites bring me back to life
But every time i shut my eyes the satellites turn into stars again
Turn into stars again
I don't i don't want to watch you go
I don't i don't want to watch you go
I don't i don't want to watch you go up high the stars look like
Satellites satellites satellites all night
But every time i close my eyes the satellites turn into stars again
Whenever think i cant fly the satellites satellites bring me back to life
But every time i shut my eyes the satellites turn into stars again
The lyrics of Satellites by The Endless Summer are filled with metaphor and emotion. The song explores the idea of a relationship that is falling apart, yet the singer is desperately trying to hold on. The opening lines set the tone for the entire song, as the singer wonders if this is their last chance to fix things with their partner. The lines "Maybe its the one last time, I could be what you want" could be interpreted as the singer realizing that their partner may be ready to leave them, and they want to be the person their partner needs to stay.
The singer then acknowledges that they are the last one trying to save the relationship, and they want to be their partner's "only one." However, they are struggling to face the world and their problems head-on. The metaphor of radio waves is used as a way of bringing the singer back to their partner. The stars in the sky are compared to satellites and represent the singer's desire for something to hold onto, something that will guide them back to their partner.
The chorus indicates that the singer finds solace in the thought that they will be reunited with their partner. Whenever they feel lost, the stars (or in this case, satellites) bring them back to life. However, the closing line "I don't i don't want to watch you go" shows that the singer's efforts may be in vain, as their partner may already be gone.
Overall, Satellites by The Endless Summer is a poignant and heartfelt song that explores the pain of a relationship falling apart. The metaphor of stars and satellites is used to represent the singer's desire to hold onto love and stay connected to their partner.

Maybe its the one last time
Perhaps this is the final chance
I could be what you want
To be what you desire
Maybe I'm the last one trying
Could be the only one making an effort
To make me be your only one
To become your sole companion
But when the world sees my face i don't know what to do
When the universe observes me, I'm unsure how to react
But its a fact the radio waves bring me back to you
It's a reality that radio waves reunite us
Up high the stars look like Satellites satellites satellites all night
The sky above appears full of satellites, cause the stars in the sky look like them
But every time i close my eyes
However, when I shut my eyelids
The satellites turn into stars again
Those satellites transforms quickly into stars like before
Whenever i think i cant fly
Whenever I assume I can't take off
The satellites satellites bring me back to life
The satellites revive me
Well now I'm breaking out
Currently, I'm escaping
I'm out of my head
I lost my mind
But now I'm counting down
Still, I'm doing the countdown
I'm counting down again'
Counting backwards once more
I don't i don't want to watch you go
I don't wish to see you leave
Up high the stars look like Satellites satellites satellites all night
In the skies above, the stars resemble a swarm of satellites all night
But every time i close my eyes
Despite this, the satellites transform into stars whenever I shut my eyes
Whenever think i cant fly the satellites satellites bring me back to life
Whenever I convince myself I cannot fly, the satellites act as a reviver
But every time i shut my eyes the satellites turn into stars again
Every time I close my eyes, the satellites turn into stars once more
