    I heard this song for the first time the day after my dad died. My name is cicely but my family occasionally calls me Cecilia. I bawl my eyes out everytime I hear it. He didn't want me to be afraid. And sometimes.. this song makes me feel like he's moving through me, like a satellite does through space. Guiding me. Protecting me. Sometimes this song is the only thing that makes it okay for a moment that he's gone.

    My wife and I have seen Andrew McMahon live twice. The second time was just shy of our daughter's first birthday. This song definitely hit harder that time. When Cecelia came out to sing with him, the tears were streaming down my face. He mentioned that he knows someday she won't want to do that anymore and you could tell he's dreading it. It really drove home how important it is to cherish every moment you get to spend with your little ones.

    My idea probably isn't correct, but I like to think the video is him telling his daughter the story of her mother, how amazing she was and adventures she may have gone on, and then the video is what the child is interpreting. Like he could have said she loved to go camping or hiking and loved the outdoors and this is what the child invisioned because of how much she loved her mother. Idk kinda like displaying how much a mother means to a child. The kind of wonder a child gets from hearing stories, things like that

    Most people are quick to assume songs like this are about a significant other. The lyrics make it so easy to see it's about a child, probably his first, and how much things change when you find out you're going to be a parent.

  • @mj-ds3rt
    @mj-ds3rt 8 років тому +822

    I think this song is about the little girl (baby) who was born, but then her mother died while giving birth. I think that the baby is Cecilia. The father is saying how he will protect his daughter and how she should't be afraid. I think the book that they are reading is a book that Cecilia's mother made for her, but died before she could give it to Cecilia. Since the mother died, in heaven she is finally able to do all the things she wrote and drew in this book. The father is showing the book to Cecilia since that is what her mother wanted. I could be wrong but that was just my take on it.

Andrew's one of the most talented songwriters of our generation and seeing him reach new levels of success is a pleasure.

    This song will forever hold a special place in my heart. 2 weeks ago on Sept 8, 2020 I was listening to UA-cam and watching vids on my tv. I couldn't focus on anything, instead, I paced my house. This video came on and I stopped dead in my tracks and watched. About 3 hours later, I received the call that my Mom had passed.Life is too damn short. Live everyday like it's your last.

      @Brice Carter it’s: “For all the things my hands have held, the best by far is you.” Dumbass! And “one if the greatest line I’ve ever heard.” You should probably use “of” and pluralize “line” to “lines”. By seeing your profile picture, it was expected though.

    I lock myself in a hotel room
    Been waiting all night for the walls to move
    I've loved some girls that I barely knew
    I've made some friends, and I've lost some too
    Crashed my car, I was 17
    My mother in the seat riding next to me
    The things I've learned from a broken mirror
    How a face can change when a heart knows fear
    Through all the things my eyes have seen
    The best by far is you
    If I could fly
    Then I would know
    What life looks like from up above and down below
    I'd keep you safe
    I'd keep you dry
    Don't be afraid Cecilia
    I'm the satellite
    And you're the sky
    I've cafe crawled through Amsterdam
    I've been around the world with a punk rock band
    And I've seen London, and I've played Japan
    I've been knocked down, I got up again
    For all the places I have been
    I'm no place without you
    If I could fly
    Then I would know
    What life looks like from up above and down below
    I'd keep you safe
    I'd keep you dry
    Don't be afraid Cecilia
    I'm the satellite
    And you're the sky
    I'm the satellite
    And you're the sky
    For all the things my hands have held
    The best by far is you
    If I could fly
    Then I would know
    What life looks like from up above and down below
    I'd keep you safe
    I'd keep you dry
    Don't be afraid Cecilia
    I'm the satellite
    And you're the sky
    And you're the sky
    I'm the satellite
    And you're the sky
    And you're the sky

I also remember when i was first introduced to that song. I was still a child, Me and my brother went for a walk and started talking to this guy. . . He said, " Oh! Your name is Cecilia? Do you know the song 'Cecilia ( Your Breaking My Heart ) '? No? Well it goes like this:
    CECILIIIIAAAAA. YOUR BREAKING MY HEEAAARRRTT. ect "
    everyone was staring. . . I told my mom and she started singing that song daily for 2 weeks.
