About Sleeping Satellite
“Sleeping Satellite” was Archer’s first major release and served as a striking introduction to her soulful voice and thoughtful songwriting. The song reflects on the moon landings of the late 1960s, questioning whether humanity’s focus on technological achievement came at the expense of nurturing the Earth and its people. Archer has described the song as both a celebration of human achievement and a subtle critique of misplaced priorities, blending personal reflection with broader social commentary. .
Sleeping Satellite Lyrics
[00:06.79] I blame you for the moonlit sky
[00:10.13] And the dream that died
[00:12.87] With the eagles flight
[00:16.56] I blame you for the moonlit nights
[00:20.15] When I wonder why
[00:22.53] Are the seas still dry?
[00:26.15] Don't blame this sleeping satellite
[00:32.75] Did we fly to the moon too soon?
[00:35.10] Did we squander the chance?
[00:37.16] In the rush of the race
[00:38.57] The reason we chase is lost in romance
[00:43.41] And still we try
[00:47.78] To justify the waste
[00:49.05] For a taste of man's greatest adventure
[00:53.91] I blame you for the moonlit sky
[00:57.83] And the dream that died
[01:00.11] With the eagles flight
[01:03.97] I blame you for the moonlit nights
[01:07.89] When I wonder why
[01:10.19] Are the seas still dry?
[01:13.59] Don't blame this sleepin' satellite
[01:20.52] Have we lost what it takes to advance?
[01:22.43] Have we peaked too soon?
[01:24.68] If the world is so green
[01:26.25] Then why does it scream under a blue moon?
[01:31.04] We wonder why
[01:35.10] If the earth's sacrificed
[01:36.69] For the price of it's greatest treasure
[01:41.62] I blame you for the moonlit sky
[01:45.08] And the dream that died
[01:47.75] With the eagles flight
[01:51.12] I blame you for the moonlit nights
[01:54.91] When I wonder why
[01:57.72] Are the seas still dry?
[02:01.39] Don't blame this sleeping satellite
[02:27.97] And when we shoot for stars
[02:30.35] What a giant step
[02:32.24] Have we got what it takes
[02:34.01] To carry the weight of this concept?
[02:38.75] Or pass it by like a shot in the dark
[02:44.00] Miss the mark with a sense of adventure
[03:17.18] I blame you for the moonlit sky
[03:20.46] And the dream that died
[03:22.98] With the eagles flight
[03:26.24] I blame you for the moonlit nights
[03:30.38] When I wonder why
[03:32.52] Are the seas still dry?
[03:36.75] Don't blame this sleeping satellite
[03:42.16]
[00:10.13] And the dream that died
[00:12.87] With the eagles flight
[00:16.56] I blame you for the moonlit nights
[00:20.15] When I wonder why
[00:22.53] Are the seas still dry?
[00:26.15] Don't blame this sleeping satellite
[00:32.75] Did we fly to the moon too soon?
[00:35.10] Did we squander the chance?
