Default What music will you be playing before, during or shorty after the Eclipse Monday 21st

From today's Sunday paper. 15 playlists which I thought were cool and had no idea really how many times the sun, eclipse and moon were addressed in song:

**definitely won't be Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart"

1. Pet Shop Boys "Silver Age (1999): "Earthquakes predicted, and someday soon/ A total eclipse of the sun and the moon."

2. Lou Reed, "No Money Down" (1986): "The moon can eclipse even the sun."

3. Carly Simon, "You're so Vain" (1972): Then you flew your Learjet up to Nova Scotia to see the total eclipse of the sun."

4. Soundgarden, "Black Hole Sun" (1994): "Black hole sun/Won't you come/And wash away the rain."

5. George Harrison, "Here Come the Moon" (1979): Looks like a little brother to the sun/Or mother to the stars at night/And here it is and here it comes/Here comes the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon,"

6. Van Morrison , "Moondance" (1970): no quotes but -- Monday will be the rare instance when it's a marvelous afternoon for a moondance. Moondancing isn't just for nighttime anymore.

7. Pink Floyd , "Eclipse" (1973): "And everything under the sun is in tune/But the sun is eclipsed by the moon." (Sentiments close out their landmark album - "The Dark Side of the Moon").

8. The Police , "Invisible Sun" (1981): "There has to be an invisible sun/That gives us hope when the whole day's done."

9. Roxy Music , "Triptych" (1974): "Turning to other-worldly yearning/Through the sun's eclipse seems final, surely he will rise again."

10. Iron Maiden, "Total Eclipse" (1982): "Around the world the people stop with terror-stricken eyes/A shadow cast upon them all to crush them like a fly."

11. Manfred Mann , "Blinded by the Light" (1976): no quotes, but be calm & remember: Do Not look at the sun without special eclipse glasses, lest the sun's fiery corona render you blind.

12. Matthew Street, "Looking at the Sun" (1991): Seriously, be careful, "Looking at the sun burned my eyes out, now I'm blind."

13. Klaus Nomi , "Total Eclipse" (1981): "Can't come to grips with the total eclipse/Just a slip of the lips and you're done."

14. Cat Stevens , "Moonshadow" (1970): No quote but It might feel a bit like the eclipse's shadows are following you around.

15. The Beatles , "Here Comes the Sun" (1969): No quotes, but we bid this eclipse event adieu with another Beatle tune from George Harrison.

Best Sirs,

Bob
