Satellite (The Beloved Song)
"Satellite" is a song by British band the Beloved, released as the first single from their fifth album, '' X'' (1996). It was the biggest hit from the album, peaking at No. 19 on the UK Singles Chart. Critical reception Jon O'Brien from AllMusic described the song as "anthemic", "Italo house-inspired" and a valiant attempt "at a more experimental sound". Ross Jones from ''The Guardian'' commented, "The Beloved here spray us with the very essence of New Age techno friskiness. You may think you've heard it before, but the Beloved songs are like massages in more ways than one – no two are ever the same." Daisy & Havoc from ''Music Weeks ''RM'' Dance Update rated it five out of five, writing, "As so much house music concentrates on being dross and proud of it, the sweet sounds of The Beloved become ever more necessary for national sanity. This is a pretty up and jumping track (well...in Beloved terms) with some especially good backing vocals worked in here, there and everywhere." ...

Songs Written By Jon Marsh
A song is a musical composition intended to be performed by the human voice. This is often done at distinct and fixed pitches (melodies) using patterns of sound and silence. Songs contain various forms, such as those including the repetition and variation of sections. Written words created specifically for music, or for which music is specifically created, are called lyrics. If a pre-existing poem is set to composed music in classical music it is an art song.
