I always loved this song, great cover ORH , faithful to the original yet quite different.

It's different,IM a big transformer fan so,,,,,,might try perfect day,better get my wee piano out  it's a good turn so tell yer maw. P.s it's relevant in this meteor based world

it is different i got so carried away with it i forget to do the change at the end  looking forward to hearing perfect day, and a great album not a duffer on it.

A fine interpretation - familiar but different, which is always a good way to go with covers. Transformer is my favourite album of all time, so I was bound to like this. Very cool indeed.

Funny, Satellite of Love shuffled onto my iPod this morning I did think of doing a cover (in fairness, the thought does go through for most songs that come on my iPod).  In fact I toyed with the idea of following Haylie's lead and doing a pigeon- / O-level French version. Then I realised I don't even know the French for Satellite, so binned the idea.

And then here's your version only an hour or two later.  Love the stripped ORH style, great sound on the Juno.  You're good at sound-scapes.  Has a good rise and fall.  Great listen.

Somehow, I missed this the first time around…nice emotion in this version, James. Another hero gone…
