"Cecilia and the Satellite" is a song by Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness, written by James Flannigan, Anders Grahn, and Andrew McMahon. It released as the lead single from McMahon's self-titled debut album Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness on August 12, 2014. The song hit radio on August 19, 2014. [1] It was written for his daughter, Cecilia.
The official music video for the song, lasting three minutes and forty-three seconds, was uploaded on December 5, 2014, to McMahon's Vevo channel on YouTube. It was directed by Olivier Agostini. [2] The video depicts Cecilia as a baby being shown a book by her father intercut with scenes showing a young woman, presumably Cecilia, walking and swimming in the locations depicted in the book. It is implied that the latter scenes are being imagined by the infant Cecilia.
"Cecilia and the Satellite" was a commercial success, particularly in the US, becoming a top-ten hit on multiple genre-specific charts, and briefly charted on the all-format Billboard Hot 100.
