You are just the best WOW needed this you made a bad day good for me today

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.

Keep an eye out for tour dates on Monday!

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:
When I wake up in the morning’
I see nothin’
For miles and miles and miles
When I sleep in the evening
Oh Lord
There she goes
Only in dreams, she’s only in dreams
Well, well my love
We’ve been here before
Don’t drag me through this again
We've tried everything under the sun
Now I’m trying to wake up from this
I’m trying to make up for it
All we ever do
Is all we ever knew
(La la la la la la)
You don’t see why your world has no love to give
Well, what goes around comes around
I know sometimes you get so caught in a dream
But now its time to wake from this
Its time to make up for it
Yes its time to wake up from this
Its time to make up for it
All we ever do
Is all we ever knew
(la la la la la la)
I’m feelin’ low, feelin’ high
feelin’ down, why isn’t this enough?
All we ever do
Is all we ever knew
Its time to wake up from this
(la la la la la la)

Surefire Lyrics

i can feel it the future 
i can see it in the culture 
i see the moon as the sunrise
see the stars with my morning eyes 
like a bear in the forest 
like the heat in the conscience  
i take a walk through the tree line 
gettin’ on with father time 

when do i begin? 

oh my, oh my 
surefire, yeah, the setting sun is going to set on me 

i’ve been waiting for a long time 
i’ve been waiting in the sunshine 
looking ‘round like it’s storming 
drying out like a histamine
i’m the warden on the front line 
a yellow soldier on a dead mine 
listen, lover, won’t you call me?
i’m a sucker for some harmony 

oh my, oh my 
surefire, yeah, the setting sun is going to set on me 
oh my, oh my
surefire, yeah, the setting sun wants company 

when do i begin?
when do i begin to end? 

oh my, oh my 
surefire, yeah, the setting sun is going to set on me 
oh my, oh my
surefire, yeah, the setting sun wants company

Surefire

Ships Have Sailed is the brainchild of vocalist/guitarist Will Carpenter. The band materialized after a hesitant decision to individually focus on new music. The process was initially daunting but the risk proved to be invigorating and refreshing. The music became uplifting and buoyant. The lyrics revealed a thoughtful and conscientious perspective. And the sound evolved into sincere indie rock with an unabashed pop structure. After sharing it with fellow musicians, Carpenter recruited a lineup that now permanently includes drummer Art Andranikyan.

Carpenter describes the band's moniker not as a pessimistic reference to the renowned idiom "that ship has sailed," but instead a fresh, positive perspective on the unexpected outcomes of unforeseen circumstances. It's an adage that can be applied to his own life of growing up in poverty in rural Vermont and being kicked out of his home as a teenager. And it’s from these challenging experiences that Carpenter often reflects on to draw introspective inspiration.

With Carpenter acting as main producer in his home studio, Ships Have Sailed has recorded and released a diverse collection of albums, EPs, and singles that consistently evoke an unrestrained cathartic desire to be heard and enjoyed. Either through crescendoing ballads or indie rock alacrity, their music always captures a uniform sense of sanguine sensibility. And by combining an ardent work ethic with an impressive range, the band has maintained a well-earned buzz that has led to international tours, impressive industry showcases, and awards honoring their independence. They’ve had several songs spend weeks in the top five on listener-voted KROQ Locals Only (“Escape,” “Stay,” and “Take My Money" all reached number one). And most recently, the band received significant exposure after their cinematic single “Broken Hearts” was placed in an episode of CBS’s legal drama Bull and their subsequent single "Silence" was featured in the season 19 finale of Grey's Anatomy (ABC).
