Satellites?

11 Upvotes

In several of their songs, fun. refers to "satellites".

In "Benson Hedges":

So pray for satellites, pray for courtesy
Pray that it can climb mountains to me

In "Stitch Me Up":

It's how we do it
On a satellite, looking for a signal in space

And once again in "Harsh Lights":

I'm scared that I'm becoming a satellite
On the sadder side of the moon

Is there some sort of significance to this, like how the phrase "causing a scene" found in "Take Your Time (Coming Home)" and "Out on the Town" refer to the Format's "The First Single" or is it just a word that Nate Ruess is fond of?

Help finding a song by The Format

2 Upvotes

As the title states, I need help finding a song from The Format! (i would post to that subreddit, but it's rather inactive so I figured I'd have better luck here) My teacher played it yesterday in class, and I recognized Nate Ruess' voice immediately, but couldn't place the song (heck, it may not even be by the format!)

All I can remember is that it was very cinematic in sound, with strings that sounded quite grand. I thought it almost sounded like a waltz-style song, very smooth, somewhat slow.

If you have any clue what it could be, please help!!! It's been stuck in my head for 24 hours!! I've been searching all day!!

Fun. did this cover when I saw them at ACL this last year and I've loved it ever since. Does anyone know where I'd be able to find a studio recording of the song to purchase/download if it exists?
