6,757,060,405

There are 6,757,060,405 different ways to look at something. There are 6,757,060,405 different people in the world. One perspective for each person, and each as different as their finger prints. So, how is it there are so many songs with the same title? Well, no song is exactly the same, even if you're doing a cover. There will be slight changes to anything you replicate. Each 'satellite' is very different from the other. Jewel for example, wrote her song entitled 'satellite' about the first time she went to Hollywood. She'll even say that just about everyt time she performs the song live. I think it says it in the youtube video I have on here. Anna Nalick's satellite is a personal experience, Beyonce references a different life experience, feeling... I think you get the picture. Even with 6,757,060,405 different ways to see the same thing, we find we are able to agree on one thing. Music is universal. If there is one thing I've seen in my 20 years, it's music speaks to everyone. Race, gender, age... they don't matter. An entire group of people gather together, dance, scream, throw one another to the same song and hear something entirely different from the person standing next to them. How wonderous is this world in which we live, create, and try to function from day to day in... Welcome to the 'New Wild West'...Satellite - Anna Nalick
