This song used to wake me up on vh1 every morning before school. So i guess my soul brought me here because i felt like i was missing something in life.

that trip to new england when you fell apart

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.

LYRICS
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 seventeen
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
 
For 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
 
Oh, Oh
 
I've café crawled through Amsterdam
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
 
Oh, Oh
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

Lyrics:

He wanders through the shadows
With visions that unravel
In the silence of the night
He dances with the light
Echoes whisper secrets
And thoughts begin to twinkle

They shimmer in the night, oh
They shimmer in the night, oh

He paints the skies with colors
And sings the songs of others
Every note a vibrant dream
Unfolding like a stream
Reflecting cosmic wonders
In patterns swirling under

They shimmer in the night, oh
They shimmer in the night, oh

Floating softly now
With visions all around
Floating softly now
In this mystical sound

They shimmer in the night, oh
They shimmer in the night, oh

In the labyrinth of stardust
Where dreams and hopes combust
He walks along the spiral path
Where echoes feel the aftermath

They shimmer in the night, oh
They shimmer in the night, oh

With every breath, he finds a way
To chase the dawn, to greet the day
This journey’s just begun, you see
Into the heart of infinity

Through fields of silver dreams,
He threads the seams of time,
With every step he takes,
He breaks and bends the rhyme.
The cosmos sings a chorus,
In harmonic rays he twirls,
As the universe embraces,
His mind in cosmic swirls.

They shimmer in the night
