Because it's real music. Not this sampled shite that's in today's music. You'll find most music done on real instruments is timeless

[@werliverpooltralalalala1988]

What a beautiful song. A throwback to when mainstream pop music was actually worth listening to. Soulful voice, meaningful lyrics and a wonderful video. A quarter of a century on and it still sounds fresh.

[@magazinu1]

30 years now... still sounds the same fresh like in the 90s.

[@80sWavrDude]

I wouldn't say this song was at all mainstream. I never heard it one time on the radio. Maybe it was mainstream in the U.K.? Not here in the U.S.

[@t.gongelbong34]

For me it's a different song but a similar story. My friend passed away from a totally surprising stroke just a few weeks after I heard that song for the first time at her house and totally loved it. Everytime I hear it know it reminds me of her. The almost funny thing about it: The song I'm talking about is: "I Will Remember" by Toto. Some things in life are just incredibly strange. All the best to you and may your friend rest in peace.

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 earth's 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

[@bikeathens1484]

This song holds a special place in my heart as it transports me back to the vibrant era of the 90s, where dreams were boundless and possibilities seemed endless. Its nostalgic melody and evocative lyrics never fail to send chills down my spine, stirring up memories of the plans and aspirations I held dear during that time. Each note is like a time machine, whisking me away to a time of innocence, passion, and boundless optimism. Listening to this song is like revisiting a chapter of my life filled with hope, ambition, and the unwavering belief that anything was possible. It's a reminder of the journey I've taken and the dreams I still cherish, serving as both a tribute to the past and an inspiration for the future.

On this day in Music - 17 Oct 1992 Tasmin Archers debut single 'Sleeping Satellite' was at No.1 in the UK, the English singer, songwriters only No.1. Archer wrote the song in the late 1980s about the moon landings in 1969, but it was only when Archer got a record deal that the song saw the light of day.

[@boudicaastorm4540]

I imagine that if ancient philosophers had recording equipment, they would've made music like this. I know the meaning behind this song always went over my head until I was able to look it up on the internet, and then I was like, wow. I guarantee the reason she didn't continue to have the commercial success this song gave her is that her other songs are also about intelligent subjects that go beyond just, like, the common relationship stuff that always seems to be in the number 1 hits. She doesn't sing about trying to get laid or having $800,000 bracelets or that kind of stuff. She also did an amazing cover of Elvis Costello's "Shipbuilding" which hopefully is still around here on KZbin somewhere.
