It's about the kind of friends and lovers and ex-lovers that may not be ever and eternally in your life, but which orbit you as you orbit them. No matter how long between sightings of your satellites, it's as if you just met them last week, last month, yesterday. Each meeting a joy, each one stolen from time, each one precious. Jones is a poet - find the meaning in the heart of her images and make it your own.
The best thing to do is admit your and their mistakes and forgive yourself and them too. Them that gravitational pool that keeps them drifting away and back to you will be broken.
What wonderful and True commentary. Many thanks for stating my thoughts, but more Poetically than I would have. I have always believed in this theory. It came to me when I was six - years -old. I feel so affirmed by Rickie Lee, and by your deLightful thoughts. PeaceLoveSmilesMusic, 💞CFT💞
Incredible how Walter Becker's contribution as a producer is tangible here. The soprano sax was his idea and mix perfectly with the song. Great, great work.
First heard this song on a train from Durban to Johburg in 1990. Had no clue about the title or artist but loved it. Took me 34 years to find this gem ❤❤❤ better late..
This song seems timeless. It's always excellent. Listening to it due to Walter Becker's passing. We are losing talented musicians that are not being replaced. Technology has replaced musicianship. It's a shame.
Have faith, amigo.... But instead of waiting for the new talent to arrive, why don't WE be the talent? All of us?huh? Is that really such a crazy idea? Walter Becker sez NO ... And would maybe like to hear some new songs up yonder.... He might get in a fight w some of the angels up there while he tries to rearrange their strings! Just sayin'!
This is by far, one of her most lively video productions, where Rickie actually seems to be having fun. Great album, "Flying Cowboys". Perhaps one of her best creations and collabs w/ an able assist from Walter Becker.
Great matching of song and production. I'm glad someone had the idea to have her call Walter Becker to produce this album. Thank goodness Rickie didn't lose that number.
In all of my long years, I have never listened to a song that reminded me of falling in love that one, true time. I have loved almost all music all of my life, like an addiction. I have had heard very few well-sung, absolutely natural, from-the-gut artistry as hers. Listen to ghost train, or perhaps, if you have the patience, the entire album "Flying Cowboys". That'll learn ya.
+Alec M She can go straight to the deepest parts of yer soul. She has such innate sensuality, her squeexe, Tom Waites (for no man) described her as "the sexiest woman in the world".
I hope so! She deserves it so much. She's obviusly been through a lot and had to deal with insecurity and shyness when she was younger. Her music is made of gold. And the moon is, too. :)
The moment I saw Rickie on Saturday Night Live in 1979, I fell in love with her. I've lost count how many times I saw her live. The last time I finally asked her for an autograph. It's tattooed on my left shoulder.
On this day in 1989 {October 7th} Rickie Lee Jones performed "Satellites" on the NBC-TV program 'Saturday Night Live'... The song reached #23 on Billboard's Alternative Singles chart... In 1999 when the cable channel "VH-1" aired their special 'The 100 Greatest Women of Rock' she was ranked at #30...
i heard this song on a train in 1990. Had no idea who sang it or the title. I only remembered the chorus and the music.. been searching for it since then.. and tonight i found it.. thank you Song Search.. just love this gem of a song!!
The thing that I love about Ricki Lee Jones is that she is so truly unique. She does not sound like all the other cookie cut out singers. That is the definition of a real artist.
I just recently heard "Chuck E's In Love" on the radio. I am Gen X and have a great deal of love and respect for all of the music that's gone through my ears and into my brain so I remember a HUGE AMOUNT of most. I didn't remember this song. I didn't recall this from MTv or VH1 and I graduated from high school in 1989. All that said. It struck me how far ahead of her time Rickie Lee Jones was. This song could easily be covered by some little pop tart and it would EASILY go platinum in a week. You know I am right. Neat song!
Couple of cool little notes about "Chuck E..." It was a hit in the middle of the Disco era and went top five in a week where all the other songs were Disco hits. That week, all the top five were women for the first time in Billboard history on the Hot 100. Lol- Rickie Lee and Donna Summer ruled the charts together!
Flying cowboys is one of those albums that just keeps growing on me, i never tire of listening to it, its good at home or in the car, straight or................, my copy is worn to digital bits
I always think of my best female friend when I hear this song. We were besties in high school in the 80s. We were twinned in a fugitive mind. The closeness we shared has no words, but the essence is captured in this enigmatic song.
Yeah, for the knuckheads who do not appreciate the depth and soul of Rickie Lee's music, here are the words. Probably just like the people who complain at a sunset that they're losing their light with the sun going down. You all are missing the beauty right in front of you!
How is it possibly that such a wonderfully lyrical song recorded by such a wonderfully and exceptionally lyrical human being only has a thousand likes - it says a lot about our current predicament. Fuck.
Yooooo this is crazy😭💜 I seen this album somewhere and for some reason I got curious to check her out and now it's been a while since I've heard this song almost 6 years😭😭😭 fuckkk time flies
I miss you Emily. Listening to this song with you in your tiny apartment in Pasadena and watching you play clarinet was a memory I will always treasure. I miss you. You and I will always be satellites.
About a yr ago Mopeing through a Home Depot I hate shopping of any kind this song came creeping in the back of my(radio) head I smiled to myself then realized it was playing in the store I was dancing in my head
to the little minded american idol loving morons who say this was too pop or they would change the channel if it were on do u know what passed for music around 89-90? marky mark and the funky bunch, vanilla ice, milli vanilli( number 1 fluff and they were winning awards and weren't even singing it) Tiffany, and Paula Abdul. Real deep and other then a tambourine they wouldn't know what to do with a musical instrument but they put on a kick ass aerobic workout you spent money to see them workout and lip synch to. Go watch people sample real artists instead of moving music forward. RLJ isn't for everyone but real talent is hard to adapt to when the bar has been set dangerously low these days. People actually vote for the next pop stars on a TV show. It'd not a generation gap but a generation gasp. And get the hell off my lawn. lol Tim Sydlowski on his wife's tablet. My wife just asked who Rickie Lee Jones was !?!? I give up. told her she is 44 she should know its Tommy Lee Jones wife!! lol. oohh she days! where's a gun when you need one. 👅💀💗
Joe Gomez Rickie, indeed... I'm an LA teen, who grew up really too fast... Rickie unknowingly wrote about people I mixed with in the motel rooms and in the streets of LA. Much like her songs, but, that came from her own experiences, and oddly "WEST SIDE STORY"... She captivated me, and made me cry with her debut album and from then on... Rickie's an artist's artist!! She's genius, her musicality comes from a very deep place. I'm grateful to have caught the ride from 1979. When I first heard the single on the radio of "Chuck E's In Love", I said "Oh God, she was what was missing!" I'm 54 years old now. I really think the recording industry ripped her off.. I'm from the big City of Angels... Where every music buff owned at least the Debut and "Pirates", and then the diehards like me bought them all... Oh well.... Just felt like sharing. Her voice pierces with a beautiful cry in it. Then creeps in a window like an innapropriate voyeur, listening to a mother settling a child down with a lullaluby. Or a woman singing softly to her lover... The writing is so unique. We used to drive to Palm Springs and listen to "Flying Cowboys"... It was a perfect soundtrack. I saw her at the Wiltern Theater at the time of the "Flying Cowboys" album. A couple was entertaining a Chinese couple, on their two week business trip. They had only heard "Chuck E's In Love". And loved it from 10 years before, but nothing else from Rickie. Both, the Chinese husband and wife were in tears. They were blown away by Rickie's artistry. They were wiping the tears from their eyes, after her show completed, and they said, "How come her music isn't being played on American radio, it's so beautiful!!!" As if saying what is being played on American radio was sub-par.. Me and my friends just looked at each other. Because we had once asked ourselves that question long ago... Even Ghostyhead had a special mixing of "Firewalker" that made every album endeavor worthwhile for me... yes, even Ghostyhead... ruclips.net/video/7yb2sO_Lhus/видео.html
We were born forever We are twinned in a fugitive mind Friends should stay together and Light the world with the fugitive kind So you keep talking in many languages Telling us the way you feel Don't stop confiding in the road you're on Don't quit, you're walking satellites Walking satellites She laughs satellites A room filled with satellites Ah, walking satellites We were born forever Tunneled into the fugitive night Friends must stay together Code the world with the fugitive light I just saw you walking Ice was reading fortunes by the moonlight Casting runes on the rooftops and alleys You'll never read it more than you will tonight So you keep talking in many languages Telling us the way you feel Don't stop confiding in the road you're on Don't quit, you're walking satellites Walking satellites She laughs satellites A room filled with satellites Ah, walking satellites
Pretty girl, beautiful harmonies, unintelligible lyrics. I came here while watching an old "WKRP in Cincinnati" episode with a poster of Rickie Lee Jones in the background.
All this time, for years i've heard this song. And i could never find who sang. After extensive research and many failed "Shazam" uploads, i am relieved to finally know what she is actually saying.....Satellites. All this time i thought she said "Salads".
Rickie - great song, great video. lets get some more of your original music like this on youtube, please! not al these bootlegs! a great part of your recordings are in the production!! thanks for all the great music over the years!!
That song you hear at multiple grocery stores that it becomes such an earworm that you want to know what the song is called and who sang it but can't because the lyrics are drowned out by multiple people complaining about coupons.
I'm here because this song drives me fucking insane at work. Murderous insane! You can't hear nothing but sattelite. And it's on a loop so I hear it frequently. I asked the handsome bearded man at work what it was called and he didn't know. He proceeds to take his phone out and apparantly, it listened to the word sattelite and told him the name and artist. Like fuckin really! 😂 Then tells me his wife has a Google phone, it tells her the names of songs and artists to music in the background that she's not even listening to while she's surfing whatever tickles her fancy. It does this at any time or place. I don't trust that shit at all!
Heard this song while shopping at Walgreens today and boy this takes me back. I haven't heard this song in years. Memories of watching VH-1 Sunday Morning when they play music videos like this one.
Just got back from her concert here in Ohio about an hour ago, (after a two hour drive back.) It was incredible, she's a pure artist and her back up band was really good. The drummer you could tell was a classically trained jazz drummer. It's kind of surreal watching this because i just saw her 3 hours ago. Her voice has hardly changed at all. I recommend that if you have the chance to see her, you should!
First heard it when I was 13 or 14yrs old.. Im 37 now... Ive just always LOVED this track...!! I want to get ahold of the SNL performance of this tune!! ThANKSS for posting this!! :-)
An a attractive lady and a nice singing voice. I really do hope one day you will hear Ricky Lee Jones music in space. I hope future satelites pick it up. Ricky Lee Jones is a talented singer songwriter.

Not in my house

@@NDR-hn3ue Thanks. How do you know that about me though?
@@elizabethmcleod246 I was being tongue and cheek not personal sorry for any confusion
@@NDR-hn3ue No worries. I have been lucky enough to see Ricki Lee Jones 3 times in Vancouver, Canada. 1981, 1985, 2015. I adore her music.
The whole Flying Cowboys album is just wonderful.

@Vico649 Indeed..."friends should stick together".
Nice comment.
I played this album a lot when doing my undergrad finals back in 1987.
Sweet little songbird.
There is no-one like her. She is an American Treasure!
Yes...We belong together.....♥️
Yessss😊✌🏾❤
You nailed it. She is a unique writer, performer and person.
She is a treasure for all. Not just America.
Her harmonies with her own lead vocals are some of the most sublime ever recorded. Juke Box Fury blows me away too.
Seconded
Omg these two songs are my favorite
Released as a single in the UK in September 1989.
Even her happy songs make me cry.
I used to hear this song all the time when I worked at Publix.
Incredible how Walter Becker's contribution as a producer is tangible here. The soprano sax was his idea and mix perfectly with the song. Great, great work.
I didn't know he produced this! Thanks for telling us. I think he was incredibly gifted. I worship Steely Dan.
This song wouldn't be too out of place in his 1994 album 11 Tracks of Whack.
RIP Walter. What a wonderful, organic and very real art you created with Rickie.
I think this is the most beautiful song I have ever heard. What else is there to say?
First heard this song on a train from Durban to Johburg in 1990. Had no clue about the title or artist but loved it. Took me 34 years to find this gem ❤❤❤ better late..

Just listening to "Flying Cowboys" album this morning....still poetic and filled with Rickie's charm and soul!
Treff Bennett I LOVE that album. 💜❤️
Just ordered it👍
It's a fantastic record.
Beautiful song. I discovered it only a few days ago and keep returning to it. Rickie's vocal phrasings are luminous
Such a good song.
Bob Sheppard's saxophone fills make my heart fly every time I hear it.
Pure bird song.
What a shame this clip fades out early.
This is by far, one of her most lively video productions, where Rickie actually seems to be having fun. Great album, "Flying Cowboys". Perhaps one of her best creations and collabs w/ an able assist from Walter Becker.

First listened to ENTIRE "Flying Cowboys" album in the 1990's...
Love it!!!
+Alec M She can go straight to the deepest parts of yer soul. She has such innate sensuality, her squeexe, Tom Waites (for no man) described her as "the sexiest woman in the world".
Ths album is astonishing in its' completeness. Check out "Wrecking Ball" by Emmylou Harris as well.
Amen, my friend....amen.👊🏾
Do you think Rickie knows that she is one of the immortal creatures of the planet Earth's history?
I hope so! She deserves it so much. She's obviusly been through a lot and had to deal with insecurity and shyness when she was younger. Her music is made of gold. And the moon is, too. :)
Damn. That soprano sax. Those vocals. Those snowflakes falling. Such beauty.
An example where the song and the video mesh. Exquisite.
Salads! Hahahaha. This song is freaking beautiful. Boom!
I love playing this on my cassette in my Beetle when it's snowing...
Classic Becker production on this. Especially love what Neil Stubenhaus on bass brings to it. Rickie Lee is forever.
The moment I saw Rickie on Saturday Night Live in 1979, I fell in love with her.
I've lost count how many times I saw her live. The last time I finally asked her for an autograph. It's tattooed on my left shoulder.
I'd give a lot to see and hear her live. But I'm in Austria, so no big chance there, sadly. People in Austria would love you, Rickie!
Rickie i love you,re voice
One of my favorites by her.
What a beautiful voice ! What a excellent song ! What a Great Great singer/song writer
that is Rickie Lee Jones !!
She is a total package. So talented, so cute and SO UNDERRATED.
It's best that way
pourquoi si '' sous-évaluée '' ?
On this day in 1989 {October 7th} Rickie Lee Jones performed "Satellites" on the NBC-TV program 'Saturday Night Live'...

This and Company are my two favorite Rickie Lee Jones creations. They are more than songs, but music that makes me feel glad to be alive.
i heard this song on a train in 1990. Had no idea who sang it or the title. I only remembered the chorus and the music.. been searching for it since then.. and tonight i found it.. thank you Song Search.. just love this gem of a song!!
Have you heard, "Flying Cowboys"?, "The Last Chance Texaco", "Ghetto of my Mind?" Just a few of my rickie favourites...
The thing that I love about Ricki Lee Jones is that she is so truly unique. She does not sound like all the other cookie cut out singers. That is the definition of a real artist.
+Bill Melathopolous
Yes she is...
Listened to her entire album in 1990's.
MORTA LINDA!!!
(Dead BEAUTIFUL!!!)

This was over 30-years ago! Holy flying clocks, Batman!
This song came on in my car during a late night drive North along the Front Range.
A part of me will always be there.
She's perfect in all of her flaws. She's a natural. And I adore her.
Keep making music, Rickie. You are the soundtrack for our lives. ❤️
I always think of my best female friend when I hear this song. We were besties in high school in the 80s. We were twinned in a fugitive mind. The closeness we shared has no words, but the essence is captured in this enigmatic song.
LOVE this song. I was still living in Los Angeles when it came out. LOVE YOU RICKIE!❤❤
Can't believe I used to listen to this whole album at age 15 n up. Wow Such a good album.

Love, love, love this song. Perfect for a snowy day!
Extraordinária Rickie Lee. As always.
Love this time in music VH1 adulting after MTV
Love this song.
I couldn't believe the little girl picked up a rune. Smile.
How is it possibly that such a wonderfully lyrical song recorded by such a wonderfully and exceptionally lyrical human being only has a thousand likes - it says a lot about our current predicament. Fuck.
Waiting for your comeback Rickie.... amazing... all your stuff.
Yooooo this is crazy😭💜 I seen this album somewhere and for some reason I got curious to check her out and now it's been a while since I've heard this song almost 6 years😭😭😭 fuckkk time flies
Simply beautiful!
Neil Steubenhaus killin' the low frequencies I believe.
It took me a very long time to find who did the.... "salad, salad" song....
Saw her in concert twice, one had a horn section, the other was just 3 piece. Both were great shows.
Beautiful lovely song since Chuck E's In Love.
Beautiful tune. Makes me smile and feel quite positive about stuff. Nice.
This reminds me of a girl I loved long ago
I miss you Emily. Listening to this song with you in your tiny apartment in Pasadena and watching you play clarinet was a memory I will always treasure. I miss you. You and I will always be satellites.
About a yr ago
Mopeing through

I hate shopping of any kind
this song came creeping in the back of my(radio) head
I smiled to myself
then realized it was playing in the store
I was dancing in my head

Joe Gomez I see what you did there.
We were born forever
We are twinned in a fugitive mind
Friends should stay together and
Light the world with the fugitive kind
So you keep talking in many languages
Telling us the way you feel
Don't stop confiding in the road you're on
Don't quit, you're walking satellites
Walking satellites
She laughs satellites
A room filled with satellites
Ah, walking satellites
We were born forever
Tunneled into the fugitive night
Friends must stay together
Code the world with the fugitive light
I just saw you walking
Ice was reading fortunes by the moonlight
Casting runes on the rooftops and alleys
You'll never read it more than you will tonight
So you keep talking in many languages
Telling us the way you feel
Don't stop confiding in the road you're on
Don't quit, you're walking satellites
Walking satellites
She laughs satellites
A room filled with satellites
Ah, walking satellites
One of the finest artists ever. Annoyed she's not known to th egeneral public outside of Chuck E's in Love.
Pretty girl, beautiful harmonies, unintelligible lyrics. I came here while watching an old "WKRP in Cincinnati" episode with a poster of Rickie Lee Jones in the background.
All this time, for years i've heard this song. And i could never find who sang. After extensive research and many failed "Shazam" uploads, i am relieved to finally know what she is actually saying.....Satellites.

Bellissima canzone, e anni fantastici gli 80
My favorite song and one of my favorite preformers, Rickie is first rate! amazing woman that defies labels and catagories.
Love this song...Have Flying Cowboy alb....love RLJ
Rickie - great song, great video. lets get some more of your original music like this on youtube, please! not al these bootlegs! a great part of your recordings are in the production!! thanks for all the great music over the years!!
Wonderful 1989 classic!
That song you hear at multiple grocery stores that it becomes such an earworm that you want to know what the song is called and who sang it but can't because the lyrics are drowned out by multiple people complaining about coupons.
ha!
I just love her voice. Amazing range.
Love me some Ricki Lee!
That tiny smile at the end says so much.
I'm here because this song drives me fucking insane at work. Murderous insane! You can't hear nothing but sattelite. And it's on a loop so I hear it frequently. I asked the handsome bearded man at work what it was called and he didn't know. He proceeds to take his phone out and apparantly, it listened to the word sattelite and told him the name and artist. Like fuckin really! 😂 Then tells me his wife has a Google phone, it tells her the names of songs and artists to music in the background that she's not even listening to while she's surfing whatever tickles her fancy. It does this at any time or place. I don't trust that shit at all!
Heard this song while shopping at Walgreens today and boy this takes me back. I haven't heard this song in years. Memories of watching VH-1 Sunday Morning when they play music videos like this one.

just found this LP,it's fricken awesome!
If this woman looks like an angel, that's because she's a walking gift from God.
Love the clarinet in this song, take a bow son.
That's actually Bob Sheppard on soprano saxophone, not clarinet.
Kohls Dept. store LOVES playing this song!
First heard it when I was 13 or 14yrs old.. Im 37 now... Ive just always LOVED this track...!!
I want to get ahold of the SNL performance of this tune!! ThANKSS for posting this!! :-)
Love u Rickie
Gorgeous!
An a attractive lady and a nice singing voice. I really do hope one day you will hear Ricky Lee Jones music in space. I hope future satelites pick it up. Ricky Lee Jones is a talented singer songwriter.
Howed you--tube know eye needed this song now? My play list with Rickie Lee. Robots are taking over the world. Really, they are

Just love this. The hole album actually.
