Post Eclipse Music #MusicMovesMe #ShadowshotSunday

 It's Sunday, and today it is time for a Sunday edition of Music Moves Me, since today is an off day on the Blogging from A to Z Challenge).  It's also time for Shadowshot Sunday.  But first, music!

Let's introduce the Music Moves me bloggers:  We blog about music each Sunday or Monday and if you have music to share with us, you are most welcome to join! (Music Posts Only-meaning at least one music video, please! Otherwise, your post may be removed, or may  be labeled "No Music".  Our head host is Xmas Dolly, and our co-hosts are Cathy from Curious as a Cathy, joined by the knowledgeable Stacy of Stacy Uncorked and, last but not least, me.

Every other week, we have a theme.  On alternate weeks, we can blog on any music theme we want.  Today is freedom of musical choice, so let's get started with several songs I heard on a trip to view a total eclipse of the sun.

This song has been an earworm for several days, so I will try to get rid of the earworm by listening to this song.  From 1979, Poco and Crazy Love.

Talking Heads - Same as It Ever Was, from 1980.

Next, who can resist Creedence Clearwater Revival and Bad Moon Rising?  I was so tempted to try a version performed on Tesla coils (maybe I'll devote a post to that type of music one day), which is something I experienced for the first time where I watched the eclipse.  No worries;  I'll save that for another day and give you CCR's original.

Now a couple of songs I just felt like including.

Tomorrow will be Garden Bloggers Bloom Day, and in honor of that, let's choose a song related to flower gardening.

Simon and Garfunkel - Flowers Never Bend with the Rainfall, from 1966.

Finally, because I heard it yesterday, here is Chevelle and I Get It, from 2007.

Now, it's time for Shadowshot Sunday, brought to us by Lisa at Lisa's Garden Adventures. 

My entry today is a picture I took during a total eclipse of the sun last Monday.  The eclipse was totally blocked by thick clouds but parking lot lights that came on during the eclipse made for interesting and long shadows during the three plus minutes of totality.

One more for you. Both of these taken at 3:22 pm in case you were wondering.

And that's a wrap!

Join me again next Sunday for another episode of Music Moves Me/Shadowshot Sunday.
