Satellite of Nothing
Contract work for NASA. Expected to be part of the first manned trip to Mars.

It all happened so quickly. This was the only phrase I remembered…
This song developed as it went, and gathered meaning in its abstract nature like a snowball rolling downhill. At an epic length of almost six minutes it was our longest track, it kept growing organically until some kind of bizarre feedback-drenched guitar solo came out the other end.
Tried to rework a year or two later with a band, didn’t work. Too moody. This song wants to be a happy one. So smile already.
This must be my third or fourth take on this song, now with an actual band. It’s certainly well-developed at this point.
Didn’t dive too deep; came up jaunty. It wasn’t easy to fit “inevitable” in like that but if Dylan can do it, so could I.
