One of the most beautiful, dreamiest songs ever written ❤️☘️

[@Didek9702]

Indeed❤

[@neilburns8869]

This was an iconic song and music video, a real classic in British pop history. Fantastic performance by Tasmin Archer who hails from West Yorkshire city of Bradford in the UK.

[@richardhodgson6711]

This is a bit of an overlooked gem 👍

[@jaycarrUK]

It got to number one in the UK ,so not really.

[@davidderidder2667]

This is from another level

[@gustavgnoettgen]

It is. I thought it was from someone else, and now I don't even know who I thought about. I didn't know about her, just the song.

[@jimmbobb]

A bit. Absolutely!

[@jimmbobb]

@@jaycarrUK I'm only hearing it for the first time. (grew up in Kentucky in the states)

[@stevew585]

Ahhh, the WONDERFUL Tasmin Archer! UK talent at its finest!

[@GrilloTheFlightless]

Everything about this - her visual image, the video, the tune, the lyrics, the arrangement, the production values - just screams craftsmanship. We could do with more artists like that today.

[@sisteray3539]

I used to play this track all the time when it came out. Such a gentle song

[@ThelemicMagick]

Underrated 90's classic

[@JoePeddie]

Never under rated, it reached number 1

[@ThelemicMagick]

@@JoePeddie In the UK and Ireland indeed. So I still think it's underrated. ;)

[@JoePeddie]

@@ThelemicMagick It reached number one in a few countries and around the world got in to a lot of top 20 / 50 charts most being non English. Hardly under rated at all . Unless you think a song needs to be rated by being number one in every country in the world

[@carajillodwsq]

Forgotten, not underrated.

[@jimmbobb]

@@JoePeddie it's underrated here in the states. I grew up in the 80s and I've never heard it until now.

[@NOV17MAY16]

One of the best songs of the 90's

[@rogerbyington5640]

You got that right. So good.

[@yaelranero4931]

The best!!!

[@AlizeeDefan]

Its TASMIN ARCHER ,pronounced TAZ-MIN ARCHER Not sure if you got the whole meaning of this Gem., but its a very very deep song that has incredible lyrics and melody . "Sleeping Satellite" is the debut single by British -songwriter , released as the first single from the album, Great Expectations in September 1992. The song was a number-one hit in the United Kingdom and Ireland.

[@evaburnz]

No surprise that British depth has yet again surpassed American capacity, just sayin'. This song is artistry in its purest and most glorious form.

[@idontsignin]

There is a song you have to listen to. It's by Shakespeare sister and it's called stay.

[@ecj17cel]

1000 times yes!! Love that song so much..

[@flashmadison6689]

Perfect suggestion. This one always brings me to that one. I was going to suggest the same thing.

[@Ozzpot]

This is a man who wants the 90s back. I don't blame you. 😂

[@poetinmyheart94]

I was just listening to that a couple of days ago. Hadn't heard it for decades until then!

[@63saruman]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@AlexW14]

British music at its very best. Honestly one of the greatest songs ever made.

[@kiwi-on-a-bike660]

I loved this song from the first time I heard it.

[@jimmbobb]

ME TOO!!! too bad "the first time I heard it" was a week ago.

[@50337andy]

Me too kid👍

[@JT-ok6re]

I love this song from back in the day! The song to me is so futuristic it could be played today, it would be a hit. Tasmin Archer voice is amazing.

[@johnodriscoll4180]

Tim you are so right

[@merkyuk]

My god, suddenly remembering this certainly makes me feel old..

[@joseantoniogalante897]

Priviledged, you mean, right, for living in a very interesting era?? Congrats...

[@peteg1114]

haven't heard this in years but glad I just did.

[@sueh273]

Love this song & her voice is beautiful!

[@potdog1000]

Tasmin comes from my home town & knew my family I never met her but I hear she's a really nice person

[@idontsignin]

That was huge back in 1992, it got to number 1 in the uk charts. I was only 12 when it came out. Everybody loved it.

[@lukedaley17]

To my American friends. This is an example of pure British Talent.

[@briansphar9007]

I always got a Seal vibe from Tasmin Archer on this song. I would love to see you do "Human Beings" from Seal.

[@63saruman]

Brian Sphar Or Seal’s Crazy

[@jimmbobb]

I get Edie Brickell vibes.

[@s.b.8258]

💯

[@snowglass3969]

One of my favourite songs from the 90s. I always read it as her reflecting on the loss of potential of the Apollo moon missions. We dreamed so high and so far. To quote Andrew Chaikin, 'We touched the face of another world and became a people without limits.' And then we let those dreams go and returned to Earth. And we've been earthbound ever since.

[@carolynjanesutton4932]

That's what I read that it's about.🙂

[@colinmacdonald5732]

Always really liked this song but just assumed it meant nuttin'! I mean, I thought "good luck working out what this means!" Like many much loved songs that came before in the1980's. Love it that Tasmin's hit single means something, better still inspired by the Apollo moonshot, who'd a thunk it?

[@colleenross8752]

We're not earthbound anymore. Space X has been a huge success so far

[@cjhepburn7406]

Chaikin ?

[@snowglass3969]

@@cjhepburn7406 He's an author, he wrote the book A Man on the Moon about the Apollo Missions. His book was used as the basis for From the Earth to the Moon, a 12-part HBO miniseries..

[@adorkability]

Loved this song when it came out. Haven't heard it in years!

[@cjhepburn7406]

They play it on Magic FM

[@yourmusicchannel8900]

The video you are watching is the UK version. There was a version for the USA that had a simpler theme. The "sleeping satellite" referred to in the song is the moon. This song stopped me in my tracks when I first heard it - and few songs have done that to me. The quality of lyrics, composition, production and Tasmin's singing was incredible for its time - but it was three years in the making!!! I interviewed Tasmin. She was someone that I always wanted to have a conversation with because of this song. She is from the city of Bradford in the county of Yorkshire in England.

[@akageryuu]

The lyrics of the song reference the Apollo Missions of the 1960s, characterised as "man's greatest adventure"; the sleeping satellite of the title being the Moon.

[@peaceisnature]

I'm late to this reaction but I think I read one day that it's about space exploration and that when we learn too much about something it can take away the wonder and the mystery and the fascination. I loved this song as a teenager and I'm 39 now and I still love it. Tasmin Archer won a Brit award too!

[@jonnno2439]

Thankyou for playing this amazing song India. It has been one of my favourite ever songs since it was released. And yes, as was said before, "Stay" by Shakespeares Sister" is a performance that needs to be reacted to. Also "Stop" by Sam Brown is wonderful, and " Will You", by Hazel O'Connor is too.

[@jimmbobb]

I'm a bit upset that I've never heard this song til now. This is one of the most underrated songs ever!!

[@PHlophe]

Jim, the song is beautifully triste !

[@KellyC12070]

I forgot about this song and never knew who sang it. Thanks for sharing this!! Also, check out Shakespeare's Sister "Stay With Me".

[@ChipWhitingtonIII]

I'll co-sign this.... def check out Stay.

[@63saruman]

Stay is one of the 90’s finest.

[@RTK171]

I love how India starts rocking her head when the whoa whoa comes on. The songs about the Apollo missions the Satellite is the moon and man trying to reach it.

[@wizkid9404]

i love it..so beautiful that i cry when i hear it

[@poetinmyheart94]

This song sounds great on the stereo.

[@jlolson53]

It must be strange to have written one great song. But then that's a lot more than most of us have done.

[@user-ky6vw5up9m]

This was No. 1 in UK. A great song

[@augerontgen8240]

It's no Alien or Trecky song! A "sleeping satellite" is a wonderful picture, real poetry. I like the way Tasmin Archer puts the pain in her voice which becomes rough on certain places. She performes it well, it's melancolic, she is tired from the endless efforts of mankind to conquer everything, but we distroy actually everything. Sometimes the human species needsa critical self-reflection, but don't get caught from melancholy, it drags you into deep water and drowns you. Think positive!

[@tomski120]

She also did a song called "in your care" a bit of a tough listen as its from the point of view of a child abuse victim.

[@scottarooni]

It's a powerful song, though.

[@rnw2739]

Brilliant song

[@TheFever77]

Son of a bitch!

[@jamespasifull]

Great tune from '92! Look for others, it was a great year!!

[@dannybaldridge3529]

One of my favorite songs from the 90s.

[@sashabertold3731]

Awww the lyrics, bought the maxi single cd in 1992, just fell in LUV with this haunting beautiful song! It reached #1

[@danielh115]

Truly beautiful voice and I love this song 🧡💛

[@jfl2412]

This was my jam in the 90's.

[@jerrymorgan1752]

Few people can sing and make my eyes water. Voice of an angel.

[@disenchantedwanderer9033]

In the 90s, many music videos were quite large productions, and so videos back then looked like mini movies with stories. Those days... are all gone.

[@mavos1211]

This song is literally about the space race and how we stopped going to the moon. The eagles fly is the name of the landing craft and the sea still dry is the sea of tranquility where the eagle landed.

[@mattbradford8227]

I had the same reaction in 1993 when I first heard this. The pipe organ, her clothes, that little girl, the guy in glasses on the guitar and the Middle Ages ode to alchemy. So unique. A black woman from central England (Bradford Yorkshire UK) as unique as a white boy from Harlem, Robert Melville Hall (Moby). You know whatever they produce is going to be special.

[@samhain1894]

Love this one. How about Sonique Feels So Good 🙂

[@scottarooni]

OH YES!! Feels So Good by Sonique is terrific!!

[@ministry2627]

TUNE!!!

[@Wanderer_93]

Sonique👍

[@joea7293]

Love her she is underrated but very good. Used to love this song and Constant Graving by KD Lang please try to listen to that one KD has one of the best female voices of our time also very underrated.

[@28ronj]

Just an awesome tune!

[@Voltasaur]

I bought her CD in a yard sale along with Madonna like a prayer when I was a kid. Best $2 I’ve ever spent!

[@Bronwyn-o4k]

As an Gen X and indigenous women this was my jam back in the nineties. Great song writing credited to who ever who wrote it. No discrimination here.

[@MischievousBastard]

Something that I always took from this song, and a lot of people disagree, is that in our constant rush forward since the Enlightenment we've left behind a lot of folklore and such things. Certainly in the UK, so much culture has been relegated to history in the pursuit of modernity. Part of this comes with the collapse of competing possibilities which follows scientific progress, and the moon landing is held up here as emblematic of this. Was the moon a dead rock, or another world, or an illusion, or the home of dragons, or actually made of cheese? Once we went there, we knew, and there was a little less space in the world for folklore. And yes the other themes as well, but also this.

[@markwithak334]

Her vocals are so haunting the last 1/3 of the song. Goodness.

[@ministry2627]

Reminds me of when we first got MTV. They used to play it all the time. Great song, great memories.

[@BanyanTree1]

Haven't heard this song in forever! Try P.M. Dawn's "Set Adrift On Memory Bliss" for a similar vibe.

[@diana-cy4kj]

She also had an amazing song called “Somebody’s daughter”.

[@salomesolis3444]

Well, the first time I listended to this magical song, I was like 8 years old. My dad sang me that song like a Lullaby to sleep good, but when I heard it the 3rd time I felt like it was written with an feeling that you get always when the moon shines through you... That's the vibe I felt always when I listended carefully the lyrics... So by now, I called it: The Moon's Lullaby... ❤️🌠

[@AzaharSpain]

One if my top 5 of the 90’s. Real music

[@paulnattress6855]

Always loved this always will.

[@marblox9300]

She has a sweet voice and she is the only one who can do this song right.

[@MINIMOTOMADNESS]

i"m a fan from the uk,this lady has the voice of an angel,

[@miamianz]

i remeber being 17 driving from miami to key west in a dark night as i had jiat come out to mymparents and i needed to get away. shes talking a out how we have destroyed the natural world in fact destroying ourselves way aheD of its time.

[@estebanraez1627]

Everything on that song is so perfect

[@robertomariartus8516]

I was 10 when the song was released.... Loved it then but never appreciated like I do now. What an amazing voice.

[@Problembeing]

Have you listened to Terence D’arby ‘Sign Your Name’, wishing well’, ‘Dance Little Sister’, ‘Do You Love Me Like You Say?’

[@MeshachMRB]

The song does question our attitude towards the world think like you mentioned. Also it's about the idea of space was no longer that special after humans had flown on the moon and seen what space looked like. It was a novelty (special, fresh sensation) when it had it's mystique (being unknown)

[@tommyo5000]

Think of great people and times years ago when hears this again for first time in years

[@keyserxx]

Now That's What I Call Music! 23 :) I still love this

[@bobbylee_]

LOVE THIS SONG!!

[@MattSingh1]

A largely forgotten gem.

[@benjaminparkinson5255]

A bit is the understatement it is extremely unrated tasmin has a realy good vocal range and she is tealy cute

[@kitschiguy]

"I'm definitely getting a space/galaxy vibe, I don't know... witchcraft maybe" Please consider the lyric: Did we fly to the Moon too soon? Did we squander the chance In the rush for the race The reason we chase is lost in romance And still we try To justify the waste Of man's greatest adventure I've never known anything or anyone to so perfectly sum up the space race between the USA and USSR. This song and performance is simply brilliant.

[@onthe4572]

This makes me feel very old! I remember when this was no 1 in the UK quite clearly!

[@JumbleTasteSpinning]

I remember my first time hearing this... like flying... i recommended the full 12" track - the full high feeling. Perfect song.

[@beaconterraoneonline]

Apollo 11 ... Eagle was the Lunar Module that Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the Moon with.

[@scottarooni]

When "Sleeping Satellite" first came out, I listened to the song constantly! I always thought the lyrics were about protecting the environment and this precious planet on which we live. To my knowledge, Tasmin Archer did not have as much success with her other songs; however, I bought her album "Great Expectations" (as well as a few others), and I was pleasantly surprised! One of my other favorites from that album is a song called "Halfway to Heaven." Check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHK6loqGq7yNodE

[@ccgrey8731]

Halfway to Heaven was one of my favorites off that album too.

[@tinkler4]

‘In your care’ was my favourite. I use to act out the lyrics lol

[@chrisqdawgs]

I listened to it on repeat the summer between my freshman and sophomore years of college. So good. My other favorite song of hers is "One More Good Night with the Boys."

[@rachelbarber8814]

Me too. Loved it.

[@huepix]

one of the greatest songs.

[@Exaris79]

Awesome poster. Finally found the title&singer for this. Easy listening but a lot of depth&context if you read&pay attention to the timeless lyrics.

[@ajs41]

One of the best hits of 1992 in the UK.

[@colettem.6139]

So cool you reacted to this!!! Underrated artist for sure

[@daisho13]

Damn, haven't heard this in so long. My sister smashed this on one of her compilation tapes. Cheers India 🙂👍

[@tdid2166]

This brings me back!!!

[@janniejan3550]

God, i love this song

[@jakdelano]

Wow you did Sleeping Satellite. This is an underrated gem

[@paulstanley2825]

Well it was an unexpected surprise that you reacted to this song. An absolute gem from the early 90s. I don't know why Hothouse Flowers came to mind in relation to this song but a couple of songs worth checking out by them: An Emotional Time and also their cover of I Can See Clearly Now. Keep up the great work India.

[@TheTuubster]

The song is literally about us stopping going to the moon. "The Eagle" is a reference to the moon lander.

[@islandbee]

[@krystalrowan7934]

I love this song 😊❤

[@CycleLogical]

I've always heard this song here and there over the decades... really had no who created it or what exactly it was about until just recently

[@JD_Slacker]

This one takes me back!

[@danhamjam]

Listen to the lyrics. It's about humanity and are we ready or able to go to the stars? Are we looking after ourselves now? Have we peaked to soon? The Earth itself is the one that is sacrificed for our space travel endeavors.

[@douglasuk25]

what a song thank GOD i was born in 1983 for this TY TY TY

[@inga1721]

Look for this sing live. Just quitar and her voice. Amazing from Estonia😁

[@iMann_iFail]

Well Moons are known as natural satellites, seeing as the song is called ‘Sleeping satellites’ it’s possibly hinting at Wigan / Pagan visual references.

[@mazza4190]

I was just murmuring this song remembering when I bought it and who I gave it to.

[@savetommyrobinsonfreespeec7660]

Cool tune! Got it on cd, played it all the time! I’ll play it tomorrow! ❤️🇬🇧🇺🇸

[@tonywilkinson6895]

This was big back in the 90’s and I loved it,although I didn’t understand the video.

[@steffmale]

There's another song that many people forgot: " Des'ree - you gotta be"👋

[@jeffstevens4262]

Once again reminded of the simply beautiful voice of Tasmin Archer. So beautiful. Whatever happened to her? Is she still recording?

[@MRoyClark]

I **LOVE** this song. She had a few UK hits, but this was a College Rock hit in the US when I was in high school and I wrote the lyrics on my binder. LOL. I wouldn't try to hard to get literal with lyrics from Alternative-type artists. Often they are written to be more impressionistic than anything.

[@Summon256]

Tasmin Archer would be very proud of Elon Musk...it would be interesting to hear from her these days and what she thinks of SpaceX!...

[@philyroberts72]

Epic! Even in 2021. One of the best songs lyrically of the last 60 yrs plus.
