Musicbrainz DBShining like a work of art
Hanging on a wall of stars
Are you what I think you are?
You're my satellite
You're riding with me tonight
Passenger side, lighting the sky
Always the first star that I find
You're my satellite
Elevator to the moon
Whistling our favorite tune
Trying to get a closer view
You're my satellite
You're riding with me tonight
Passenger side, lighting the sky
Always the first star that I find
You're my satellite
Maybe you will always be
Just a little out of reach
You're my satellite
You're riding with me tonight
Passenger side, lighting the sky
Always the first star that I find
You're my satellite
You're my satellite

I saw them in Seattle on Monday and they were fabulous as always. I think they were actually better than the 2 previous times I've seen them. Much more interactive with the audience and the cello and violin they had with them were terrific. Yep. Saw them a couple of weeks ago at the Lincoln Theater in DC. Amazingly accessible—in some respects more so than their usual presentation. I think the "living room" setting relaxed them, letting some spontaneity and flexibility into what is usually a fairly set show. "Satellite" provoked the most engaging sing-along of the evening. Someone twittered a request for "Here Comes the Sun," which, despite protests they'd never played before, they pulled of with only a couple of hitches. Huge applause at the try. They built their fan base through relentless touring; they know it; and they return the support with affection. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| eruwenolorien (SC) | Posted: May 05, 2011 - 09:14 This is just one of many Guster songs from this album that I've heard on RP and signed in to rate favorably. I see a music purchase in my future! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Yes - not the highs of some of their earliest albums, but actually I think the sonically tightest album (if you can follow the comparison and are a Decemberists fan, this is like their "Crane Wife", missing the singalong gems but really well-knit and solid). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| pk53 | Posted: Jan 15, 2011 - 12:24 Have always liked Guster. Saw them at a Bay Area music festival over ~10 years ago when they were on a side stage.  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| sirdroseph (Outer Mongolia) | Posted: Mar 19, 2010 - 13:52 This is pretty good, but not as good as the other songs I have heard so far off of this album. Still worthy of a 6———>7 range. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

While we're at it, what the hell does "I am the walrus" mean??? skyguy wrote: it's paul-get a clue y'all. Dear Snowcat, What skyguy means is that the Beatles did a song called 'I am the Walrus.' Thus, the Paul referred to is McCartney. And I don't see what is wrong with not knowing this bit of information if one is younger than those of us who grew up with the Beatles. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
