Lyrics
Satellite in my eyes

Like a diamond in the sky

How I wonder

Satellite strung from the moon

And the world your balloon

Peeping Tom for the mother station



Winter's cold spring erases

And the calm away by the storm is chasen

Everything good needs replacing

Look up, look down, all around, hey satellite



Satellite headlines read

Someone's secrets you've seen

Eyes and ears have been

Satellite dish in my yard

Tell me more, tell me more

Who's the king of your Satellite Castle?



Winter's cold spring erases

And the calm away by the storm is chasen

Everything good needs replacing

Look up, look down, all around, hey satellite



Rest high above the clouds no restriction

Television we bounce round the world

And while I spend these hours

Five senses reeling

I laugh about the weatherman's satellite eyes



Satellite in my eyes

Like a diamond in the sky

How I wonder

Satellite strung from the moon

And the world your balloon

Peeping Tom for the mother station



Winter's cold spring erases

And the calm away by the storm is chasen

Everything good needs replacing

Look up, look down, all around, hey satellite



Rest high above the clouds no restriction

Television we bounce round the world

And while I spend these hours

Five senses reeling

I laugh about the weatherman's satellite eyes

This is delightful, festividder. I hadn't realised Adam Savage was such a geek for Chris Hadfield, but I find it pleasing to know.

[violace]

What a cool dude indeed and what a sweet tribute to him. :')

[cathexys]

What an awesome vid. It's celebratory and cool but just also plain pretty. Thank you!

[isweedan]

I love this so much!

[thirdblindmouse]

This vid made me swoon and laugh in equal measure. Thank you, vidder! It was great. :D

[no_detective]

What an extraordinary tribute - and wonderful, inspired editing, down to your closing credits! Gorgeous work. :)

[kiki_miserychic]

Hahaha cute

[sasha_feather]

This is so fun and I'm grinning all over!!

[sanguinity]

Oo, I really like what you did with your source and editing choices! Given the size of his recording booth, this could easily have been fairly static, and it very much isn't.

[valoise]

This was great!

[felis]

I LOVE this! It's so wonderfully whimsical. The long shots of him just floating with his guitar at the beginning. The amazing space and earth views when the lyrics first start. The "up, down, around" bits. King = Stampede Marshall (the hat!). His photos. The moment at 2:24, chasing the gas mask. The closing credits. The post-credits scene, which is perfect for the vid, just like your summary.
So this was all around delightful. :-D

[leanwellback]

Oh, this is lovely! What a great guy and what a great vid :D

[frausorge]

This is lovely - great matchups to the song.

[credoimprobus]

This is so charming and happy-making! I love him strumming his guitar in time to the music at the beginning. :D
