| Tasmin Archer – Sleeping Satellite Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
Surely considering the short sighted move made by the US government not to re-visit the "sleeping satellite" and abandon the space shuttle, the lyrics of this great song are even more poignant. We are in the process of traveling backwards. At no time in man's history has he traveled backwards and slowed things down, that is until now. We are abandoning our future, and the future of the race by trying to run back to the caves and hide. Sorry if this sounds depressing, but I grew up during the space race and Ms Archer has captured the feel of that time with her wonderful song with its synths and on the mark lyrics. We did peak to soon, and we have lost our sense of adventure. She ought to consider re-releasing it as an anthem for a new decade, a rallying sound for those of us who would like to see humanity's spark of adventure re-kindled. |
