Hackett, Steve - Sleepers Lyrics






Breathing in and out with tide
Leaving the mantra of a world outside
Faces bathed by moonbeams
All the sleepers send you their dreams

Rising from a wave of helping hands
A woman holds a statue till he becomes a man
Captured in her eyes he's finally complete
All the sleepers send you their dreams

Night terrors make you scream
Dogs turned reptiles halloween
Lizards and birds, claws in your feet
Can't shake off all the demons you meet

Surveillance camera in the sky
Big big brother telling you why
Too many saviours on my cross
Might as well worship the Wizards of Oz

Turning your dream around
Taking the reins again
Running through the flames
Sun shining out of the rain

Taking a leap of faith
Jumping into space
Find an unknown place
The moon's other face

All the sleepers send you their dreams
All the sleepers send you their dreams

Hackett, Steve Sleepers Comments
  1. L.... S....

    The beginning and that part at about 0:37 remind me of the beginning of Hairless Heart from The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway. I think it's also the same tonality.

  2. A.... S....

    This song is the best single representative of Hackett's entire oeuvre. It has:
    -- dreamy drifting intro
    -- beautiful acoustic melody
    -- loud uninteresting drums
    -- electric guitar mastery
    -- disjointed composition
    -- overall very high quality!

  3. P.... C....

    This music is absolutely sumptuous... rich melodic speech, harmonies breathtaking orchestration constantly renewed in the use of the stamps of the orchestra, in short a babylonian sound architecture erected by humble and immense interpreters. !

  4. M.... M....

    I couldn't believe it when I saw that Anthony Phillips and Steve Hackett worked together ! It's strange to think the two ex-guitar players in Genesis (the first being also a good pianist/keyboard player !) play on this long progressive piece... From then on, Steve started doing longer pieces more and more often on his albums, including contrasted sections, instead of doing completely different pieces, previously... Maybe this has appealed to the progressive rock lovers who thought a track under 7 mn wasn't long enough ! This album is less surprising than his previous ones maybe but more coherent, and that's a good thing. I saw him live again around this time... He had toplay this in a different arrangement, more electric.
    Anyway, Steve's output has been amazingly good and diverse during the last 20 years...

  5. E.... G....

    la perfezione.....MERAVIGLIOSA!!!

  6. j.... p....

    Cet album est aussi ou sinon meilleur que The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway , merci Steve Hackett tu es un génie , tu as fait un Voyage Of The Acolyte number 2

  7. F.... T....

    Great picture that explains Steves time of the moment! Love u Steve!

  8. j.... p....

    Génial compositeur-guitariste

  9. G.... ....

    Finally, a collaboration between Steve and Ant. Outstanding musicianship. Here's hoping for more of Steve and Ant !

  10. j.... f....

    maravilha de música

  11. Y.... N....

    Ex-Genesis duo Anthony Phillips and Steve Hackett !!

  12. j.... ....

    The transition at 5:42 reminds me of Danny Elfman's music (Nightmare Before Christmas, The Simpsons theme song).

  13. B.... A....

    Masterful and very evocative piece by a master.

  14. s.... k....

    As he has been notably spoken of time and time again, by not only his fans..,but critiques as well, "One of the , if not the., for sure, one of the, best,,most innovating.,imaginative..,talented..,Angelic , if you will..,Guitar players that ever walked the earth.." , and i agree. And the amazing compositions embedded in this Album..,again..,prove this. But quite frankly.., again as i always run into..,HE'S JUST NOT A LYRICIST...I wish he were..,but..,and this is only my opinion..,his writings make little sense..,if at all sometimes. He writes like he believes he has been chosen by a 12th Century Minstrel that's been taking advice from a 20th Century Futuristic washed up 3rd rate Punk Poet....I have been a Song Writer for over 40 years..,driven by what my fans say are my "Incredible" Lyrics..I'm not trying to say that Pompously either...But if i were even 1,ooox as Talented as Steve on Instrumental Blessings..man....Just my opinion..Replys welcome..........

  15. G.... H....

    Great music again like always hatto g 🤗😏

  16. M.... M....

  18. n.... ....

    the opening acoustic melody should be used as the theme tune from a good appropriate tv drama..give the world a chance to appreciate it

  19. E.... V....

    E.... V....

    Hackett's albums from Darktown to present have been phenomenal!  His earlier stuff is great too, but occasionally hit and miss.
