Will you be in its path?
What I won't be doing this afternoon is listening to music. But, just in case seeing the eclipse fails me, I've put together a small playlist of eclipse type music - music with "Eclipse" in the title, or in the lyrics. This week, for "Music Moves Me", our theme is a FREEBIE. Anything goes!
There is not a song on this album that I don't love.
You're So Vain - Carly Simon (in concert) talks about the March, 1970 total solar eclipse - the first of two total eclipses of the sun I've been fortunate enough to witness.
Bonnie Tyler - Total Eclipse of the Heart, from 1983 (a song many incorrectly know as "Bright Eyes").
There's a dance version on You Tube I can enjoy, although I must warn you that there are flashing colors in this video.
Speaking of a Total Eclipse of the Heart, Warby Parker has created this parody just in time for today's eclipse.
Finally, speaking of Bright Eyes, be sure to wear proper protection if you are watching the eclipse today.

I wondered if there were any songs with eclipse in them, so thanks for this.
ReplyDeleteLove your choices here. I think you found most of the "eclipse" songs.
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome. Thanks for sharing. Love all of these performers, especially Carly.
ReplyDeleteStopping what I was doing and watching the eclipse (even if it was on TV) was such a nice distraction and way to create harmony. Nice song choices.
ReplyDeleteVery nice choices
ReplyDeletewhat fun. I just came back from the rooftop party at my apartment building where a friend passed around her eclipse glasses so we could all see the phenomenon. [we were 81% here]. very special. landlord served sun chips, moon pies and eclipse gum. now i'll settle down with your play list. feel very astronomical. thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteGreat choices. It was awesome, truly. What surprised me most is the temperature drop. Also I have been hungry all afternoon!
ReplyDeleteClever post, and a different way of looking at the eclipse! Well done. A Golden Wedding
ReplyDeleteAlana,
ReplyDeleteWe had the privilege of seeing the eclipse yesterday. It was an amazing experience. The last time either DH or I saw an eclipse which I think was only a partial one was when we were small but after looking this up on Wikipedia I noticed the 80s recorded a couple of total eclipses. I think in our area it we were not in totality or else I think I'd remember that but then again I have trouble with details happening 30+ years ago. lol Anywho, I loved your theme for today! Funtastic mewsic for an awesome occasion. It's great to share the dance floor with you, my friend - you rock!
