SATELLITES
Music & lyrics: Vina Nguyen (July 2018)
He sang alone with his guitar
Quietly humming to his heartbeat.
I watched, glowing in the sun,
Wishing I could be someone
Dear to him, kissing him,
Loving him the way he wants.
Needing him, oh, missing him,
Regretting things we didn't want.
Perhaps I'm his satellite,
I'm his moonlight, missing sunshine.
Perhaps he's my satellite,
He's my moonlight, not my sunshine...
Oh...
When the snow came
The days grew cloudy and short
With his eyes reading mine and his
Hands holding warmth.
On that day we both knew, we're
Two halves of a heart,
Wishing on those airplanes
Alone in a park...
Perhaps I'm his satellite,
I'm his moonlight, missing sunshine.
Perhaps he's my satellite,
He's my moonlight, not my sunshine...
Perhaps we are satellites,
We are moonlight, chasing sunshine...
Oh...
Perhaps I'm his satellite,
I'm his moonlight, missing sunshine.
Perhaps he's my satellite,
He's my moonlight, not my sunshine...
Perhaps we are satellites,
We are moonlight, chasing sunshine...

Vina After Dark’s warm siren vocals
will raise goosebumps across your skin as you head-nod to chilled out drums, groovy bass, and ethereal, crying guitar lines.
And if you’re lyrically focused, you’re in luck: think Emily Haines’s poetic acuity with Nina Simone’s tender sparseness.
