There comes a time when you've got to pick yourself up, dust yourself off, smarten the tie and say "Right, I have had enough of this!". And that's what Satellite is about. 

You could wallow in your own misery I guess, or you can take the offensive after you've taken the blows. Don't lash out in anger, that will only pull you back under.  You need to sidestep, almost dance past ... like Bruce Lee.

This song came from all that. It started as a piece of anger; It became a release ... and it ended as an assured finger waggle. 

Not today. You ain't taking me down today! No matter how hard that punch was, how long you took that beating ..  they'll never beat you!

Don't Need A Satelite - Live

Do you remember the first time you heard ‘You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling’ by the Righteous Brothers?  It was song that saw the lyrics tell a terribly sad story; one that hints at growing darkness and carries a real sense of impending doom…but we grew up loving it!!  
Even though the song builds to a crescendo of sadness, of begging, of pleading we like to think that the Righteous Brothers moved on and found love again!  
Inspired by their greatness we wanted to create a song in a similar vein; a song of passion; a story of love and ultimate breakup.  
The ‘movie-star’ in our song is your first love.  When all you can do is think of them; every song you hear reminds you of them…you’ve fallen totally in love with that special person.  
Our ‘Movie Star’ features Adele Paris; opening the song on piano

Movie Star - Live

'New Sky Mining Ltd' was originally titled Blue Sky Mining Ltd, but we didn't like what that actually was, too anti-enviroment. So 'blue' was dropped and 'new' was added. This gave the songs lyrics a far more upbeat message of hope, that there was another better way, that we are mining positive vibrations, rather than destroying the elements. 
The story in the lyrics is of a person leaving an old life to better themselves, which fits beautifully with the 'tangible' rebirth of its band members as a unit after a lay off of almost twenty years. Although Adele wasn't a part of that line up, we welcome her with open arms. We are a new band, yes we can't escape the fact that 4/5 members were in a band together all those years ago, but that's the past ... and as the song says .... the future is right now. We hope you enjoy.

‘Another Place, Another Time’ 

I remember being 8 years old and going to the cinema with my dad to see a film called ‘The Princess Bride’.  I was a huge wrestling fan at the time and Andre the Giant was my favourite!!  To me, he wasn’t a man.  He was something from another planet; a real-life superhero.

I have grown up loving ‘superheroes’ because I know I can never be like they are; I feel that we all know that the desire for something becomes stronger when we cannot have it.

There is a reason why Superman’s S means hope. There’s a reason why he himself is seen as a beacon of hope and good. When he’s on the scene, you can almost rest assured that the problem will be solved.

Superman is a superhero because his qualities - both physical and moral - draw people to him. 

In most arcs, he is portrayed as one with an unbreakable moral fibre and a moral compass that always point to true north.  We look at ourselves and find that we are lacking in the qualities which he possesses and thus we aspire to and get lost in stories about him.

This new song is about hope.  Hope in a tomorrow.  Never knowing who is going to fly down from the sky and take you away to another world.

“…Another Place, Another Time, she’s a superstar of mine”
