Bryan Steeksma - I Am the Satellite

[thurscur]

I have the 10kth view? Omfg, such a good song >:3

[Styhn]

Heh, I could hear a metronome in the first few seconds of this song :)

[carbonblack23]

I also learned abut this great song from the non prophets.

[AdNeeb]

I see two voices in the song. The first laments his position in the lonely, inscrutable universe. The second, in the final two stanzas, says "hey guy, make your own meaning and face the universe as it is, fuck yeah existentialism!"

also, xkcd #167.

[AtheistKiwi]

Great song!! Just love it.

[donovn1]

Love this song! Thanks Bryan. And thanks to the Non-Prophets podcast for introducing me to Bryan's music.

[IckleMcMan452]

4:56 to end is beastly

[Account4TheMusic]

I love the ending!

[theartofnotbeingseen]

atheists, do yourself a really fun favor: lay on the hood of your car while this song is on repeat (at night) and look up at the stars. this song really hits you.

[bryansteeksma]

@theartofnotbeingseen have you done this?

[DeadlyRedRing]

@TheLostSniper47 Play it dude. I live in East Texas and had a discussion about religion today. The zealots got a little heated, but I kept my cool and I think I made some progress. If a discussion that goes against the theocracy of Texas can be held without me being shunned from my small town of 1300 people, then you can play this song without fear of threats. If they do theaten you, remind them that only God can judge.

[Phoboskomboa]

The end of the song is by far the best part. I wish there were more of that bit.

[theartofnotbeingseen]

@TheLostSniper47 play it, man. don't be afraid to be who you are. fuck 'em.

[flight454]

The style of this song reminds me of christian rock.

[EikC]

@flight454

A very paradoxical observation!

[Jerphun]

0 satalites were offended in the making of this song.

[free2question]

This magnificent song was played during the intro to The Non-Prophets November 6, 2010 podcast.

Thanks for letting us discover your music through that medium!

[daemonowner]

@parakeetman22 you're a piece of shit. stop trolling..

[daemonowner]

its a good song, rock on steeksma!

[Bagodonuts15]

reminds me of starsailor. thanks to the AE for introducing me to this guy, this is cool

[mrpkrush]

After being forced to listen to Christian music throughout my childhood, this is so encouraging to hear! Oh and it doesn't hurt the melody is kickass as well! You're just incredible talented and the message is something that really hits home.

You need to make an album ASAP. Thank you SO much Bryan for making my year!

[niteme]

Wow the climax of the song is really at the ass end of this song ;)

[ADancingWalrus]

Amazing

[taqwadune2]

I Love this song!

[theartofnotbeingseen]

@taqwadune2 same here!

[bryansteeksma]

Hey, thanks for the promotion!!

Cheers

Bryan

[SquirrelGott]

@bryansteeksma My pleasure! Thanks for your creativity and skills.

[TempleOfSin]

@bryansteeksma Bryan, I'm not set up on-line with my credit card. Is there any way someone in my position could purchase the tracks on an album?

I hope there is... I really want to hear more of your music! It's great stuff, thanks for sharing this one.

[bryansteeksma]

@TempleOfSin unfortunately there is no physical copy of Residual Soul. So as of now the only way to get your hands on the tracks is to purchase them online.

Setting up your credit card on iTunes is worth every second it takes though. Its safe, extremely easy, and it gives you access to millions of artists and their music.

I strongly suggest taking the time to get iTunes etc etc.

[MoralRapist]

@bryansteeksma as an atheist...i have to ask.... are you REALLY bryan? Skepticism, testable claims, all that.

[bryansteeksma]

@MoralRapist Yes. I am :) But, I understand the skepticism.
