This Woman's Work - Olivia Harris

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

I wrote this song sat in a hotel in Madrid after our flight had been delayed for 18 Hours, and the lyrics themselves are an amalgamation of the books I was reading and the overall feel of the hotel we were in.

Lyrics:

You got too much space, fill it all up
I’m getting used to your face and waking back up
And existence is great but not when you’re stuck
And I love this place, and I’m giving it up

Next time around I’ll make it okay
That’s what I told you on previous days
And I know it’s sad, and I know it’s true
But I’ll go back around, and I’m the only one who’s going to remember you

When my ship takes off, it never will land
We got a man on the moon, with our world in his hands
But the moon doesn’t matter, ‘cause it did not go as planned
And now I’m forced to fight things I can’t understand

Next time around I’ll make it okay
That’s what I told you on previous days
And I know it’s sad, and I know it’s true
But I’ll go back around, and I’m the only one who’s going to remember you

And there’s a ghost on the water who’s calling my name and
I know I oughtta stop playing her games but
These are the times and the times they have changed
I don’t know your feeling when you’re looking away
And I’m trying to find a break in this desperate routine
And I never tried to make this killing machine
And I’m proud of my mistakes but the ones with you and me
Are the ones I will erase, so just you wait and see

Whirlwind

Come on stand tall put your hands up high 
Here we are at the rest of our lives 
The grass is greener on the other side 
Come on stand tall put your hands up high 
Here we are at the rest of our lives 
In California 
The sun always shines 

An empty room with empty chairs 
The morning's come we're unprepared 
For everything that we have always wanted 
A small town with smaller dreams 
Closed shops and nowhere streets 
Everything's a lie 
Everywhere's haunted 
Terrified we'll never get out 

The hope we carry burns like a flame 
American stories light our way 
Dream of ways we'll make it past the sky 

Come on stand tall put your hands up high 
Here we are at the rest of our lives 
The grass is greener on the other side 
Come on stand tall put your hands up high 
Here we are at the rest of our lives 
In California 
The sun always shines 

Cause we want to live forever 
And forever more 
Escape the stormy weather 
Cause we never have before 
While our folks at home are living with regrets 
We'll sail past the sunset 

We'll pack our bags and leave right now 
Find our way to the coast somehow 
The ghosts that haunt this town will never follow 
We'll never really have to go back 

Just sit back and wait for the show 
One look back and then let's go 
Time to turn up the radio 

So Come on stand tall put your hands up high 
Here we are at the rest of our lives 
The grass is greener on the other side 
Come on stand tall put your hands up high 
Here we are at the rest of our lives 
In California 
The sun always shines 
Shines 
Shines 

So come on stand tall put your hands up high 
Cause this is the start of the rest of our lives...

As Liam said... procrastination on a massive scale.

Possibly part of a fuller piece, but for now the Thomas the Tank Engine theme has a Simpsonian guest...
