Hawkwind - Wastelands Lyrics






Drifting through the wastelands of sleep
Rivers formed by those who weep
All missed by the wakeful mind
Memories are left far behind
But you can always return tomorrow
Escape in sleep from all of your sorrows
And then I can reach out for your touch
Am I asking for too much?

    Someday I hope Hawkins will take me to the planet Stacia.

  5. M.... B....

    1972 and it was hawk wind LSD and hash good vibes and ☮️

  6. A.... ....

    Drifting through the wastelands of sleep
    Rivers formed by those who weep
    All missed by the wakeful mind
    Memories are left far behind
    But you can always return tomorrow
    Escape in sleep from all of your sorrows
    And then I can reach out for your touch
    Am I asking for too much?

  7. L.... M....

    Kust wondering how many Trance bands realise Hawkwind beat them to it by 30 years.

  8. j.... a....

    hail to captain brock!

    a.... m....

    a.... m....

    and what a great show it was

  11. D.... B....

    Those 7 who put a thumbs down !!!! Ahhh c'mon man ???👍

  12. b.... r....

    The six string of the gods

  13. E.... G....

    ECCELLENTE....band FANTASTICA!!!

  14. L.... W....

    The brilliance of Hawkwind got me into Astro physics and quantum mechanics! Tracks like this make my soul happy and free, lots of Hawkwind does.

    L.... W....

    Linda W. Quark, Strangeness & Charm springs to mind!

  15. M.... W....

    way out.....ahead of there time.....awesome.

  16. D.... W....

    It’s too bad that they haven’t been able to capture, (for lack of a better word), death and beyond.

    D.... W....

    I disagree ... the way Space Is Deep drifts off into Electronic No. 1 on Space Ritual is the best expression of an ecstatic death experience that was ever placed on vinyl.

    D.... W....

    Matthew Westwood Ok. It’s all wonderfully imaginary!

  17. i.... D....

    A great shame that there will never be another Hawkwind when they are gone.A truly one in a life time band........

    i.... D....

    God that's so sad!!! Never really thought about it like that before. They truly are completely unique. Thank god for YouTube. Seen them at Glastonbury a couple of times, and small concerts in pubs in Devon. Both different but equally compelling.

    i.... D....

    How could there ever be another Hawkwind?

  18. D.... C....

    Hawkwind altered my consciousness.

    D.... C....

    As it did it to mine...

    D.... C....

    raises hand

  19. b.... ....

    far out

  20. S.... V....

    Amazing! <3

  21. w.... v....

    very moving........great.....

  22. R.... N....

    Can't make my mind up about this lot. Always a gem on everything they've ever done. But you have to wade through a lot of crap. Zarozinia, this and the amazing Moonglum. Huw Lloyd rest easy bro. Love you manx

    R.... N....

    to me and many more theres not a lot of crap hawkwind weird confusing yeah iike orzics they are not everybodys cup of space dust you love em or dont get it theres no inbetween

    R.... N....

    No crap to wade through in my opinion.
    Hawkwind is Hawkwind is excellence every time for me...

    R.... N....

    Note that the reason Zarozinia and this have similar tunes may be because they are the two numbers which were written by Kris Tait.

    But boy, do I miss the lovely Huwy.

  23. J.... C....

    Love this, always reminded me of 'I Want To Be A Machine' by Ultravox.

  24. S.... E....

    Many many comedowns made more bearable by this song. Total and utter class!

    S.... E....

    I am right there with ya...I am still coming down!

  25. N.... o....

    Their musical brilliance and social comment with metaphysical insight combined with truly out there rock talent...Inspire or what.
    Sooo glad to be in their near generation....Thank you so much..all of you. My imagination was built by you guys.xxxxxxxxxxxx

    N.... o....

    I couldn't have said it better...

    N.... o....

    top comment 10/10

    N.... o....

    Nice!🍄

  26. D.... B....

    Any album by "Hawkwind" will take your mind to the unknow limits of sound, that allows the mind to escape it's limits & boundaries, to broaden ones sounds of music. Truly Hawkwind is Ear Candy.

  27. T.... ....

    shades of Jarre in this,not one of HW's better offerings

  28. W.... M....

    5 Stars.

  29. s.... b....

    this song is for everyone who love xenon and h/w..n give me good visions of the past ...

  30. D.... W....

    Go out through the in door!

  31. B.... R....

    People "in the know",like the majority of the ones who have commented or will comment on this video,know how truly SPECIAL this band is.So many MAGICAL moments are associated with the mighty HAWKWIND! Somehow mere words of praise can not adequately convey the feelings that I have for them and their TIMELESS music!

  32. J.... A....

    I was introduced by a friend to listen to HAWKWIND when I was 16. Now at the young age of 44 I've never looked back .Absolutely love this band so much.Keep the spirit alive.

    J.... A....

    I am just rediscovering them at 51. First heard them aged 16 around 1982 - LIve '79. I was amazed by the atmosphere. Explored all kinds of other bands and music since then, now returning. Boy, Huw was an amazing guitar player.

    J.... A....

    Are you me? My head was fed at similar age. Now 45 still feeding but constructive. Long live free thought!🍄

  33. S.... ....

    Indeed :) I bought their Chronicles album a long time ago :) Truly superb!

  34. n.... o....

    Mighty hawkwind...best band in the spiral arm.Or were. R.i.p. you pathfinders.

  35. s.... b....

    the one n only wasteland is scotland .....

  36. V.... ....

    Such a great track. RIP Huw

  37. M.... H....

    Incroyablement mélancolique...

  38. M.... ....

    Many happy memories from this band.

  39. R.... A....

    AVE IT

  40. j.... l....

    hawkwind lets get it on again

  41. r.... b....

    Awesome tune

  42. M.... ....

    Wastelands of sleep is very different from the other pieces of Hawkwind, very special...

  43. m.... ....

    love those pivotal langton lead breaks they just explode out of nowhere

  44. J.... w....

    close your eyes and drift away to another land

    Fantastic Track

  45. C.... A....

    Simply a poetically and musical inspiration!!

  46. P.... M....

    ahh hawkwind - one of the greatest bands ever, they were my constant companion growing up and chuffing weed all the time ))

  47. D.... C....

    Beautiful track

    D.... C....

    Chronicle Of The Black Sword is a masterpiece. Brock,Davey,Bainbridge, Lloyd-Langton and Thompson was the best Hawkwind lineup.

  48. m.... ....

    stunning !!

  49. K.... Y....

    nobody fires the neurons like this band...imagination is as big as you can handle... This band always has! and always will! take me places i would rather be... Big thanks guys...
