See here we have a beautiful view of the earth down below,
As the satellite departs.
She smells of the sun,
And she's constantly saying,
That's it's all a lie,
Because lies, sound so nice,
And like soil to seed goes,
Casting my fears aside...
She says: "The satellite is coming."
I pray, the wrecking ball is waiting,
She says: "The satellite is coming.
It's come to take us home."
Satellite...
Still smells of the sun,
And the light that brings healing,
Is burning my eyes,
And the dark, seems so nice,
And I'm choking on blessings, that I can receive
I hide.
She says: "The satellite is coming."
I pray, the wrecking ball is waiting,
She says: "The satellite is coming.
It's come to take us home."
She says: "The satellite is coming."
I pray, the wrecking ball is waiting,
She says: "The satellite is coming.
It's come to take us home."
She says: (Satellite)
"The satellite is comming"
I pray, (She)
The wrecking ball is waiting,
She says: "The Satellite is comming,
It's come to take us home."

Odd, first time I recall hearing it and I have never rated it either and I have been listening to RP since the early 2000's. |

I saw the song come on the playlist before it started playing and thought "Hey, something new!" Then it started and I thought "oh, I know this." And you're right, I've heard it many times... never looked up to see who it was, never rated it. I guess that means it's a 6.edit: but now I see I commented on it before. Hmm. I would have sworn before today I never heard of an act called "BT." |

| nagsheadlocal (North Carolina, the new New Jersey) | Posted: Dec 07, 2012 - 05:54 One of the first songs I heard on RP - and the first song I ever bought online. Remarkably fun to hear this again. |

| chyk5 (Florida) | Posted: Dec 20, 2011 - 10:59 From Ishkur.com First Great Law of BT: That his music is not really all that interesting or catchy. It's really pretty to listen to and incredibly well produced, but it's like one of those meals at a fancy, 4-star restaurant delivered by three waiters, with off-white powder and intricate splotches of red sauce around the edges of the plate. And in the middle, one asparagus. BT's music is like that. Brilliant presentation and even more brilliant execution, but no substance. No hook. No feel. No actual meal. He is the Don "No Soul" Simmons of electronic music. He just doesn't get it. |
| neuticle (fog fog fog) | Posted: Dec 20, 2011 - 10:48 surprised to not hear more of BT on RP.. |
| ZiegZeon (Tulsa, OK) | Posted: Nov 28, 2011 - 12:20 Bt is always welcome. |
| rlr511 (Philadelphia) | Posted: Nov 28, 2011 - 12:18 BT is just cool. Brings me back to my med school days.... |
| BikeCoachDave (Columbia, Ky.) | Posted: May 23, 2011 - 07:29 Never tire of this song. Thanks Bill. |
| spigolli (Peachtree City, GA, USA) | Posted: May 23, 2011 - 07:29 I heard this last time I was in my dentist's office. |

| mandolin (...drifting...) | Posted: Jan 17, 2011 - 15:29 ...any song with NASA communication feeds playing in the background is automatically cooler: doesn't that make it kind of a cheap shot?.. |

| ianmoff (Nr London UK) | Posted: Jun 09, 2010 - 06:47 I really like this Voice sounds a bit like John Wetton in his Crimson/UK days And there's nothing wrong with that ;-) |
| greyfin10 (Panama City, FL) | Posted: Jun 09, 2010 - 06:43 I remembered my own quote recently when the winning song of Eurovision this year was, you guessed it, Satellite. greyfin10 wrote: Love this. However, has anyone else noticed what a ridiculously overused song topic this has been over the last 20 years or so? Just off the top of my head I can think of 5 "Satellite" songs.

I bought a cd/dvd of his a few years ago. It was more about the multimedia production than just the songs. It was very interesting, some of it was good. |
