Lyrics and music [link]

Although first released in 1992, Archer and her co-writers wrote the song in the late 1980s, but it was only when Archer got a record deal that the song saw the light of day.

Four instruments were used in the recording of "Sleeping Satellite", John Hughes and Robbie McIntosh provided the guitars in the song, and John Beck and Paul Wickens were keyboard players. The drummer was Charlie Morgan whilst Gary Maughan played Fairlight.

Archer sings backing vocals on the track along with Tessa Niles and Carol Kenyon.

Chart performances [link]

"Sleeping Satellite" was released to the UK on 31 August 1992 and swiftly rose up the UK charts to the number one spot, replacing "Ebeneezer Goode" by The Shamen. It stayed there for two weeks, before being dethroned by Boyz II Men’s "End of the Road".

The song was a multiformat success in the U.S. The song hit the Modern Rock Tracks chart the last week of February 1993. Inching up to a peak of #11, it was her best showing on any U.S. chart, but the song gradually proved its crossover potential in April when it appeared first on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart and the following week hit the main chart. By the early '90s, the Hot 100 had splintered into several sub-charts, and the song hit two of these, peaking in late May/early June 1993 at #29 on the Hot 100 Airplay chart, and at #16 on the Top 40 Mainstream chart. "Sleeping Satellite" also hit #24 on the Adult Contemporary chart. The single peaked at #32 on the traditional Hot 100.

Archer's song was successful throughout the world, notably hitting the top 5 in Sweden and Switzerland, #6 in France, and #14 in Australia.

"Sleeping Satellite" is Tasmin Archer’s most successful single to date, her only UK Top 10, and her only single to chart in the U.S.

The song was the final song played on Pennine FM before the station's closure in April 2010.

Skye

Skye or the Isle of Skye (/sk/; Scottish Gaelic: An t-Eilean Sgitheanach or Eilean a' Cheò) is the largest and most northerly major island in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland. The island's peninsulas radiate from a mountainous centre dominated by the Cuillins, the rocky slopes of which provide some of the most dramatic mountain scenery in the country. Although it has been suggested that the Gaelic Sgitheanach describes a winged shape there is no definitive agreement as to the name's origins.

The island has been occupied since the Mesolithic period and its history includes a time of Norse rule and a long period of domination by Clan MacLeod and Clan Donald. The 18th-century Jacobite risings led to the breaking up of the clan system and subsequent Clearances that replaced entire communities with sheep farms, some of which also involved forced emigrations to distant lands. Resident numbers declined from over 20,000 in the early 19th century to just under 9,000 by the closing decade of the 20th century. Skye's population increased by 4 per cent between 1991 and 2001. About a third of the residents were Gaelic speakers in 2001, and although their numbers are in decline this aspect of island culture remains important.

    Sleeping Satellite

    by: Bryan Rice

    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 mans
    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 peaked 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
    Don't blame this sleeping satellite…
    Don't blame this sleeping satellite
