The comfort in the song is the line "this is me sending out my satellite call." A slow but steady tune, Satellite Call is a song I'll listen to while taking a stroll outside or right before going to sleep.īareilles uses language and words associated with the stars and galaxies to portray a wish to fly off into another world. "You may find yourself in the dead of night lost somewhere out there in that great big beautiful sky." This line stretches your mind to the vast universe around us, and her next line, "you're all just perfect little satellites" will make you feel absolutely minuscule in this universe we live in. Combatting loneliness with a steady, unsubtle drum line and heavy use of piano pedals, this song will leave you feeling both comforted and lost at the same time. Satellite Call is an anthem that is so calm and haunting it could put you into a trance. This is the kind of song where everyone pulls out their lighters (or cell phones) to wave in the air for four and a half minutes. So brilliantly spoken, that line represents something that so many people can relate to when it comes to love and relationships and that feeling of having to let something go, but trying to hold on simultaneously. The fear of what's already changed is the denial of the reality. The choice between who she wants and where she wants to be has already been made, but it's the letting go of the person that she can't quite bring herself to do.
