I've loved it since I heard it for the first time in late 1992, and yet it was only last November when I finally discovered the name of the artist and the song!!!!! 27 years of not knowing, but wanting to find it. :( There's still some songs I remember which I fear I'll go to my grave, never finding again. :(
This masterpiece takes me back to being 12 years old. Watching this on top of the pops, and listening to my dad playing this on repeat. Im 43 now, what memories x
I think she has one of the best voices I've ever heard - and never I realised what the song was actually about, just got lost in the melody and energy of the song
I´ve been listening to it almost non stop for the last few days, when I finally managged to find it, since I was too young when it was released, but it was in my head...I´m totally obsessed, Can´t stop listening to it. It´s not even funny anymore.
Time went by to fast, I get sad thinking about it. We didn’t have a care in the world in the 90’s. Hearing songs like this gives me butterflies in my stomach .
My wife bought this song for me when we first met, we also had our first dance together at our wedding to this song. We now have three children and are still together after all these years. So why do i feel like i want to cry listening to this song when it has such wonderfull memories attached to it ? this song has a rare quality, a beauty that makes you want to weep. I'd like to dedicate this song to my wife, Heidi I still love you. :)
You want to cry because the emotive way the song resonates with you. It has given you so many fond memories that you get overwhelming thoughts of happiness they aren't tears of sad but tears of joy man the best kind of emotion any human can have. Also if you get goosebumps when listening to it that also means you have a heightened response to music 🎶 not a bad thing in wmy book enjoy this song as much as possible, I certainly do buddy ☺
Such a great song would have no chance at being successful if released now. Poetic and meaningful lyrics are extremely rare in today's successful songs.
I remember when this song came out. It affects me the same way today as it did back then, very haunting and beautiful at the same time. Her voice is so beautiful and the song touches a place in my soul and don't really understand why. Love this song.
I blame you for the moonlit sky And the dream that died With the eagles’ flights I blame you for the moonlit nights When I wonder why Are the seas still dry Don’t blame this sleeping satellite Did we fly to the moon too soon? Did we squander the chance?

Have we peaked too soon? If the world is so great Then why does it scream under a blue moon?

This was the #1 song in the States in March 1993. Released in the UK late 1992. It hit #1 while Alabama, my home state and most of the eastern US was snowed in for a week from the Winter Storm Of The Century. I never tired from hearing it over and over and over again from the friendly confines of my room. More pipe organ please and that beautiful voice from Bradford, Yorkshire UK.
+AcademicAlgeria Sadly, Black entertainers from countries outside the USA are not treated very well, in my opinion. 'R&B' radio has a rather narrowly defined playlist with token songs by a Marley, now and then, but no real presence of Black singers from without the 'R&B' format. Tashmin Archer is just a beautiful singer with beautiful music, but not Black American. White UK acts are given much more. Not Caribbean, African, or cultural Black music (in English) from elsewhere.
Totally agree music had more meaning and musicians etc were more into being an artist, rather than pumping out commercial lifeless garbage with no creative thought behind it whatsoever. Possibly a reflection of today's generation I hate to say
The song gives me goosebumps it is a work of art❤ beautiful her voice is stunning I will never tire of this song... the keyboards are fantastic every bit of this song is just perfection!

True. Each time I hear, I have tears in my eyes. The message shall never be forgotten. It shall never lost it's value and that's why it's insanely precious
I´ve been searching for this song for years, I didn´t remember the name, the artist or even the lyrics...now I´m obsessed, cant´s stop listening to it.
Bet u heard it on the radio 30 yrs ago, a few times maybe...then poof not again for 30 yrs, but it never was far from your mind....lovely chasing a memory.
@@bigtexmacgonigle444 from Mongolia,I heard this music in 1993 only several times,then no for 30 years,try to find it many times,but today I found it and I am happy.
Wow, absolute masterpiece. I haven't heard this song in 30 years. There are many emotions after so long What a shame there aren't more songs like this one. She has a very pretty voice
I love reading all the comments where people remembered a specific moment in time when they hear this song again. Its a shame that words cant convey some of your most precious memories and the way you felt in that moment. Only you get it. Music truly is awesome!
I saw her at Wolverhampton Civic hall think she was the support act for Jeff Healey band, she sang this at the end of her set they put a smoke machine on which engulfed the stage in a cloud of smoke we could hear but not see them playing they kept going till the end lol a great band.
I heard it first time when I was a kid...5-6 years old. I met a dog..i wanted to adopt him,but my mother didn't let me..This song was on a radio when I cried for the dog...I named him Moon...And Gosh, I still remember his blue eyes.When I hear the song,I'm like :" I hope Moon had the best life".
You're extremely ignorant if you think music is not like that today anymore. Not to mention lazy and incompetent to find good music. There's more NEW good music today than ever in history. Don't base it by the mainstream trash you hear on the radio.
Gilmore Thanks . I almost don't replay to comments like that . some people don't like when you give respect and praise something good . The best music days are gone :(
I liked this track at the time and bought the album which actually wasn't bad. Haven't listened to it in decades. Checking it out now and really I'm quite blown away by the perfection of her voice. Gorgeous tone, great control, very nice range, that little bit of growl/rasp that she throws in when she chooses. Really underrated singer, criminally so.
@@MikhailKondratyev1966 Верно пишите👍. Тогда по всем углам звучала группа Кар-мэн и Комбинация, со своей колбаской и вишнёвой 9-кой. А мы детьми, весело играли в 12 палочек, чижика, лапту, а вечерами содрогали кварталы пугачами и поджигами🤣.
@@MikhailKondratyev1966 в первые услышал данную композицию на Яндекс-музыке и забрал себе в коллекцию плейлиста "Trip Hop". Когда услыш, подумал Ооо, достойная мелодия на группу Morcheeba похожа (с мурлыкающим голоском солистки Скай Эдвардс), те же Sky and Ross, как же я ошибался, когда узнал дату создания 1992 год😳😱😉 - мощь. А голоса даже похожи.
@@VladimirMedovyjпохожи, она была в ротации в России в 96-97 каждый день я слышал ее по радио, потом услышал в саунде сериала Строго на юг по первому каналу, Морчибу услышил в 2002, самый пик популярности тогда ее был, в России по крайней мере!
Exceptional song, stumbled back on it in 2020, haven't heard it since the 90s. Holds up amazingly well, far superior than the "Grammy winners" of recent years.
Boy I remember this song being number 1 here in the UK for 3 weeks in October 1992. A classic example of brilliant Folk/Rock and superb songwriting, lyrics and amazing vocals by the vastly underrated Tasmin Archer... One of all time favourite songs..
О да! Когда-то в далеком детстве услышал эту песню на одном из локальных кабельных тв и она запала в душу. Клип запомнился лучше. Прошло 30 лет, я забыл мотив, но все же смог найти ее
Wow 2023 and this song came up on LA’s KROQ - ROQ of the ‘80s stream on Apple radio! WOWOWOW! I never knew Tasmin Archer was a Sister?! What an amazing voice! Where did this song go for 31 years?! So many memories, I had just returned to SoCal from my 5-year army deployment in West Germany. Now I have to track her down if she still plays at small venues or anything? God bless all you guys and gals that listen to this song getting too high too fast, have we got what it takes?! Peace & Love 🙏🏽🙏🏼💙🕊️🌻✨
Yea, I work in a supermarket and this song has been playing for months now! I'm sure I heard it back in the day, it wasn't a pop song on my radar back then. Glad I found it!
@@chriso5662 yes, me too!! I also heard it today at my local shops and googled "I blame you for the moonlit sky" on my phone. Dunno how many years it has been since I last heard it.
This song is definitely #1 under-rated of the '90's, as well as 'Joey' by Concrete Blonde, and 'Did He Do it to You' by Tami Show & (the late) Ephraim Lewis' 'Drowining in Your Eyes' (damn, you HAVE to at least listen to that one). Those are my '90's under-rated songs...
This song has it all. Great build-up, great vocals, the organ is fantastic, the acoustic guitar, the Hendrixian embellishments and then the woho ho ho vocals can't be heard loud enough.
THIS HAS BEEN AN EARWORM FOR THE LAST 2 HOURS. I couldn't think of the lyrics, just the melody of the main chorus line, that was it!! I rang my mum and dad and hummed it down the phone to them, then they got it stuck in their heads until Dad finally remembered what it was! What a journey, and totally worth it - this song is fantastic
Same Thing۔ I was talking to my teenage daughter yesterday about what songs I liked from early 90s۔ I could remember only that it had something to do with space۔ After searching and searching، I finally found it۔ I was 22 when it came out۔ Still sounds fresh۔ Thanks youtube for refreshing my memory۔
I remember seeing it on MTV way back when and really liking it. Ever since I would think about it every 5 years or so, occasionally hearing it play in some random place the the mall or grocery store. Being able to see it here makes me realize how good it really is.
Big up to all the 90’s kids out there born in the early 80’s ( me being one of them ) this tune is an absolute gem. So dreamy and spacy, it’s a real beauty of a track 💞🪐
When I was about 13 years old-not long after the song first came out in 1992-and in secondary school I seem to remember the school system in the UK joined up with the BBC to promote a whole series of courses promoting the works of Shakespeare to school pupils. There was much publicity about it at the time on the BBC, and now every time I hear this song I close my eyes and I can think back to my teenage years. In my mind I can STILL see my secondary school classrooms and corridors, the pupils in their uniforms, and the art posters depicting Shakespeare plays in the school library.
Captivating and haunting vocals by Archer. With its ambiguity, and not being a clearly defined song of lost love, it still resonates so deeply emotionally and strikes chords at the soul level. Phenomenal.
Je suis né en 1991. Cette chanson sublime me ramène à la nostalgie de mon enfance à la fin des années 90, dans un petit coin de France bien loin de Paris, ou la vie y était bien plus simple, le monde moins pourrit et les gens bien plus réels qu’ils le sont aujourd’hui...

On Twitter this week Tasmin has said a new album is coming, thank God this Woman’s incredible voice will be heard again for the first time since 2006 Sleeping Satellite is a Timeless Classic ♥️😋
Powerhouse song that still does it for me after 30 years with it's very light and shade, dreamy and mystical feel. It is the 90's and having grown up during that time, I'd be hearing this song all the time.
I saw Tasmin Archer play in Bradford, where she's from, in the 90s. It was brilliant. I seem to remember her mum going up with a bunch of flowers for her half way through the gig. I had the album so was familiar with some of her other songs.
I'll never understand why this song is practically forgotten by most people, when is such a rare pearl in so many ways.
i agree with u
Unless you make loads of albums its a hard find.

I don't forget it. I bought the CD and it reminds me of school days and being a teenager. Fab times.

She deserved to be so much more than a one hit wonder with her fantastic voice.

And now you're dead... inside...
So do I
I blame you for the moonlit sky
And the dream that died
With the eagles’ flights
I blame you for the moonlit nights
When I wonder why
Are the seas still dry
Don’t blame this sleeping satellite
Did we fly to the moon too soon?
Did we squander the chance?
In the rush of the race
The reason we chase is lost in romance
And still we try
To justify the waste
For a taste of man’s greatest adventure
I blame you for the moonlit sky
And the dream that died
With the eagles’ flights
I blame you for the moonlit nights
When I wonder why
Are the seas still dry
Don’t blame this sleeping satellite
Have we got what it takes to advance?
Have we peaked too soon?
If the world is so great
Then why does it scream under a blue moon?
We wonder why
If the earths sacrificed
For the price of its greatest treasure
I blame you for the moonlit sky
And the dream that died
With the eagles’ flights
I blame you for the moonlit nights
When I wonder why
Are the seas still dry
Don’t blame this sleeping satellite
And when we shoot for the stars
What a giant step
Have we got what it takes
To carry the weight of this concept?
Or pass it by
Like a shot in the dark
Miss the mark with a sense of adventure
I blame you sleeping satellite
I blame you for the moonlit sky
And the dream that died
With the eagles’ flights
I blame you for the moonlit nights
When I wonder why
Are the seas still dry
Don’t blame this sleeping satellite
Don’t blame this sleeping satellite

Bet u heard it on the radio 30 yrs ago, a few times maybe...then poof not again for 30 yrs, but it never was far from your mind....lovely chasing a memory.
@@bigtexmacgonigle444 from Mongolia,I heard this music in 1993 only several times,then no for 30 years,try to find it many times,but today I found it and I am happy.
this song. this album. this artist. deserved way more success and recognition. about as perfect a song as can be.
When you wake up on morning with this song in your head and you feel the irrepressible need to listen it quickly 😊
Whoever did the keyboard solo has been my hero for ages.
That solo takes me back to the sixties for some strange reason.
@@finalsolution6831 Alan Price on House of the rising sun?
I think the keyboard was played by Paul Wickens who is an excellent musician and producer.
@@finalsolution6831 Better known as Wix, he's been Paul McCartney's touring band's keyboard player for 31 years
@@Uetti Dead right there mate. Just to add, the rest of Paul's band are superb musicians.
I play this song everyday! I’m a 90’s kid and the feeling of nostalgia is strong every time I hear it !
Same here...i drove and went home after works ..back down to 90s..what a masterpiece and her voice is nostalgic
Timeless masterpiece, there is nothing quite like it.
I agree. I can't think of another song that resembles this one. It's genre less.. Very good singer too.
Wow, absolute masterpiece. I haven't heard this song in 30 years. There are many emotions after so long
What a shame there aren't more songs like this one. She has a very pretty voice
I love reading all the comments where people remembered a specific moment in time when they hear this song again. Its a shame that words cant convey some of your most precious memories and the way you felt in that moment. Only you get it. Music truly is awesome!
Me too
I saw her at Wolverhampton Civic hall think she was the support act for Jeff Healey band, she sang this at the end of her set they put a smoke machine on which engulfed the stage in a cloud of smoke we could hear but not see them playing they kept going till the end lol a great band.
Yes this on one of those hi-fidelity moments for sure.
Absolutely!
I heard it first time when I was a kid...5-6 years old. I met a dog..i wanted to adopt him,but my mother didn't let me..This song was on a radio when I cried for the dog...I named him Moon...And Gosh, I still remember his blue eyes.When I hear the song,I'm like :" I hope Moon had the best life".
Miss the old days , When music WAS talent & emotional . 80's / 90's the best ever !
You're extremely ignorant if you think music is not like that today anymore. Not to mention lazy and incompetent to find good music. There's more NEW good music today than ever in history. Don't base it by the mainstream trash you hear on the radio.
Wow angry much? He's not stating a fact just his opinion no need for personal attacks.. chill out.

Thanks . I almost don't replay to comments like that . some people don't like when you give respect and praise something good . The best music days are gone :(
+derbigpr500 calm the fuck down , and stop trippin you creepy Tweaker 🖕🏻
I agree*
This is possibly the most beautiful piece of music from her generation. It’s just an absolute masterpiece of a song. So perfect. So beautiful
This has to be one of the most emotionally powerful songs ever written, composed and mastered. It’s epic.
Tasmin Archer a legendary voice.
Her and Tracy Chapman... ditto. 👍
I liked this track at the time and bought the album which actually wasn't bad. Haven't listened to it in decades. Checking it out now and really I'm quite blown away by the perfection of her voice. Gorgeous tone, great control, very nice range, that little bit of growl/rasp that she throws in when she chooses. Really underrated singer, criminally so.
Está canción llevaba muchísimos años en mi cabeza. Y hasta ahora la encuentro, que maravilla! ❤️❤️
Pues yo Marlene que la oi en el 93 con 17 años y busca que te busca y hoy el 15 de diciembre de 2022 consigo saber de kien es y de chiripa

Где я был 32 года?🙀😱 Что услышал эту песню только в этом году😃😃😃👍 - она на столько актуальная❤️❤️❤️
В переменах! Одно государство (СССР) завершало, другое (РФ) - начиналось!
@@MikhailKondratyev1966 Верно пишите👍. Тогда по всем углам звучала группа Кар-мэн и Комбинация, со своей колбаской и вишнёвой 9-кой. А мы детьми, весело играли в 12 палочек, чижика, лапту, а вечерами содрогали кварталы пугачами и поджигами🤣.
@@MikhailKondratyev1966 в первые услышал данную композицию на Яндекс-музыке и забрал себе в коллекцию плейлиста "Trip Hop". Когда услыш, подумал Ооо, достойная мелодия на группу Morcheeba похожа (с мурлыкающим голоском солистки Скай Эдвардс), те же Sky and Ross, как же я ошибался, когда узнал дату создания 1992 год😳😱😉 - мощь. А голоса даже похожи.
@@VladimirMedovyjпохожи, она была в ротации в России в 96-97 каждый день я слышал ее по радио, потом услышал в саунде сериала Строго на юг по первому каналу, Морчибу услышил в 2002, самый пик популярности тогда ее был, в России по крайней мере!
@@Heartbeat1984 Ооо, да Вы меломан💪😉👍. Я сам такой же😆
Exceptional song, stumbled back on it in 2020, haven't heard it since the 90s. Holds up amazingly well, far superior than the "Grammy winners" of recent years.
Boy I remember this song being number 1 here in the UK for 3 weeks in October 1992.
A classic example of brilliant Folk/Rock and superb songwriting, lyrics and amazing vocals by the vastly underrated Tasmin Archer...
One of all time favourite songs..
Possibly one of the most under-rated songs of it's generation. Bloody love this song!
Tamin Archer is so underrated.
This comment section is so wholesome and positive ! Love it ! And the song is beyond amazing ! Can't get any more high quality than this
I play this regularly as part of my strategy to have a reason to live.
Wow. Maybe try something a bit more up tempo. Keep going buddy.
Precisely
💜💜💜💜💜
I play This Is Why I’m Hot by Mims to achieve the opposite effect.
You have so much to give in life and life has so much more to give you
Как долго я ее искал. Больше 30 лет прошло, а слушаю снова и снова
О да! Когда-то в далеком детстве услышал эту песню на одном из локальных кабельных тв и она запала в душу. Клип запомнился лучше. Прошло 30 лет, я забыл мотив, но все же смог найти ее
❤ @@denisparampampam4585 случайно услышала её, решила найти, ностальгия.
Wow 2023 and this song came up on LA’s KROQ - ROQ of the ‘80s stream on Apple radio! WOWOWOW! I never knew Tasmin Archer was a Sister?! What an amazing voice! Where did this song go for 31 years?! So many memories, I had just returned to SoCal from my 5-year army deployment in West Germany. Now I have to track her down if she still plays at small venues or anything? God bless all you guys and gals that listen to this song getting too high too fast, have we got what it takes?! Peace & Love 🙏🏽🙏🏼💙🕊️🌻✨
They played this in my local supermarket today and people were swaying and singing along. 😁🌸
I heard it tonight at the market. They played it and I was all wait....what
..are they playing this????!!
Haven't heard it in years
That’s actually why I’m here now, I heard this in the grocery store.
Yea, I work in a supermarket and this song has been playing for months now! I'm sure I heard it back in the day, it wasn't a pop song on my radar back then. Glad I found it!
me 2!! just today!! echo park california
@@chriso5662 yes, me too!! I also heard it today at my local shops and googled "I blame you for the moonlit sky" on my phone. Dunno how many years it has been since I last heard it.
The most underrated song of the 90's
This song is definitely #1 under-rated of the '90's, as well as 'Joey' by Concrete Blonde, and 'Did He Do it to You' by Tami Show & (the late) Ephraim Lewis' 'Drowining in Your Eyes' (damn, you HAVE to at least listen to that one). Those are my '90's under-rated songs...
☝ "Old but Gold" 💎 ... when an old vine has aged well. 😀
Wtf? Why underrated?????
@How Marvellous Am I loooooooooooooaf use yours
@How Marvellous Am I your dirty mouth
La Gran Bretaña nos cubre con su impecable talento bandas y cantantes impresionantes aquí un ejemplo. Gracias 👏🏻💯🇬🇧
What a genius,masterpiece of a song .. just pure magic
This song has it all. Great build-up, great vocals, the organ is fantastic, the acoustic guitar, the Hendrixian embellishments and then the woho ho ho vocals can't be heard loud enough.
Anybody"s listening in 2020 ??
yeah ;)
Me!!!!
IAM !!!
yeah me
Yup
One of the most underappreciated gems from the 90's for sure.
🌸 This song is so gorgeous & timeless, as I can come back to it year after yr, it’s 2023 🎉
One song... and the world will remember you for ever.
It's on quite an unusual subject for a pop song, too! 🙂
THIS HAS BEEN AN EARWORM FOR THE LAST 2 HOURS. I couldn't think of the lyrics, just the melody of the main chorus line, that was it!! I rang my mum and dad and hummed it down the phone to them, then they got it stuck in their heads until Dad finally remembered what it was! What a journey, and totally worth it - this song is fantastic
I did the same too during work, and they would play it on the intercom, but my associates didn't know the name of the song
Same Thing۔
I was talking to my teenage daughter yesterday about what songs I liked from early 90s۔ I could remember only that it had something to do with space۔ After searching and searching، I finally found it۔
I was 22 when it came out۔
Still sounds fresh۔
Thanks youtube for refreshing my memory۔
Your dad sounds cool like me😁
I remember seeing it on MTV way back when and really liking it. Ever since I would think about it every 5 years or so, occasionally hearing it play in some random place the the mall or grocery store. Being able to see it here makes me realize how good it really is.
Уагзакщим
Tasmin summed up the 80,s what a fantastic song,long live the 80,s
1992 actually
You're right Haley,I got lost on the 80,s
I completely forgot this song and how absolutely gorgeous it is!!!
A nostalgic 2X4
Great song!!! I am so happy I grew in the 80's / 90's
It gave us the best music in history!
A rare gem from the 90s. I couldn't stop listening to it back then.
One of the greatest songs ever made and so very underrated.
This so g does not age, it stood the test of time and remains one of the best pop songs of the late 20th century.
What a hauntingly beautiful song. Thank you, 90s!
she has an amazing voice
Weird M Amir nonsense
So true
Beautiful voice
Debatable
Big up to all the 90’s kids out there born in the early 80’s ( me being one of them ) this tune is an absolute gem. So dreamy and spacy, it’s a real beauty of a track 💞🪐
Да, така е!
When I was about 13 years old-not long after the song first came out in 1992-and in secondary school I seem to remember the school system in the UK joined up with the BBC to promote a whole series of courses promoting the works of Shakespeare to school pupils.
There was much publicity about it at the time on the BBC, and now every time I hear this song I close my eyes and I can think back to my teenage years.
In my mind I can STILL see my secondary school classrooms and corridors, the pupils in their uniforms, and the art posters depicting Shakespeare plays in the school library.
Captivating and haunting vocals by Archer. With its ambiguity, and not being a clearly defined song of lost love, it still resonates so deeply emotionally and strikes chords at the soul level. Phenomenal.
The grace. The magical. The mystic. The song.
Je suis né en 1991. Cette chanson sublime me ramène à la nostalgie de mon enfance à la fin des années 90, dans un petit coin de France bien loin de Paris, ou la vie y était bien plus simple, le monde moins pourrit et les gens bien plus réels qu’ils le sont aujourd’hui...
I get a Seal "Crazy" vibe from this outstanding one hit wonder.
@@bigtexmacgonigle444 yes! That came to my mind while listening to to this amazing song.
LYRICS
I blame you for the moonlit sky
And the dream that died with the Eagle's flight
I blame you for the moonlit nights
When I wonder why
Are the seas still dry?
Don't blame this sleeping satellite
Did we fly to the moon too soon?
Did we squander the chance?
In the rush of the race
The reason we chase is lost in romance
And still we try
To justify the waste
For a taste of man's greatest adventure
I blame you for the moonlit sky
And the dream that died with the Eagle's flight
I blame you for the moonlit nights
When I wonder why
Are the seas still dry?
Don't blame this sleeping satellite
Have we lost what it takes to advance?
Have we peak too soon?
If the world is so green
Then why does it scream under a blue moon?
We wonder why
If the Earth's sacrificed
For the price of its greatest treasure
I blame you for the moonlit sky
And the dream that died with the Eagle's flight
I blame you for the moonlit nights
When I wonder why
Are the seas still dry?
Don't blame this sleeping satellite
And when we shoot for the stars
What a giant step
Have we got what it takes
To carry the weight of this concept?
Or pass it by
Like a shot in the dark
Miss the mark with a sense of adventure
I blame you for the moonlit sky
And the dream that died with the Eagle's flight
I blame you for the moonlit nights
When I wonder why
Are the seas still dry?
Don't blame this sleeping satellite
Davv P thanks a lot!
Marvelous lyrics
If I wanted the fucking lyrics I would have fucking Googled them dickhead.

Such a great singer, she has these amazing distortion edges on the vocal, like a multitude of instruments in one voice. Amazing song too of course
Yes! Love the way she strains her voice in a couple of the lines in the bridge to the chorus. Sounds great!
Yes, vocal fry.
Spettacolare....voce Travolgente ed Emozionante....Fantastica....!!!Woooowww
On Twitter this week Tasmin has said a new album is coming, thank God this Woman’s incredible voice will be heard again for the first time since 2006
Sleeping Satellite is a Timeless Classic ♥️😋
Powerhouse song that still does it for me after 30 years with it's very light and shade, dreamy and mystical feel. It is the 90's and having grown up during that time, I'd be hearing this song all the time.
Fantastic song . beautiful voice.beautiful lady.
Love her voice! This song gives me all that good 90’s nostalgia.
Beautiful song, gorgeous voice and artist! Deserved so much more recognition. Wish they kept writing this type of music..
This song is my childhood ❤ just gave me some confort & emotional energy.
Beautiful song ...feels me with nostalgia about a lost love
Yes, I will have to agree.
Me too
Its funny how this song reminds people of a lost love. I feel this too.
Still blows me away - 26 years later.
I saw Tasmin Archer play in Bradford, where she's from, in the 90s. It was brilliant. I seem to remember her mum going up with a bunch of flowers for her half way through the gig. I had the album so was familiar with some of her other songs.
Слушаю в 2023 году, а услышала в первый раз в 1992 году❤
I love when she distort her voice in some parts. F-ing great song 🎵 👌
1992: What a song wonderful.
2021: What a song wonderful.
32 years and sounds like modern.....this song was Amazing
Her voice is so beautiful. This song gives me butterflies everytime.
I wonder if she knows she is adored by her fans...what a talent !!!!
