Eclipse - Pink Floyd

This song, off Darkside of the Moon, is a perfect example of a closing song for an album. What made Darkside such a popular album was it's simple lyrics that everyone could identify with, and this song is no exception. It's musical brilliance, with a great progression, especially the backing vocals that come in. The lyrics themselves are some of my favorites from not just Pink Floyd but any band. This one is actually song by Waters, with Gilmour doing backing, which I have preferred, although Gilmour does them now that the band has split. The last line ' everything under the sun is in tune, but the sun is eclipsed by the moon' really summed up the album. Waters described the album as the differences between sun and moon; light and dark; good and bad, and this last is meant to show the good that is out there but how easily we can be distracted by the bad that gets in between.

Eclipse

All that you touch
And all that you see
All that you taste
All you feel
And all that you love
And all that you hate
All you distrust
All you save
And all that you give
And all that you deal
And all that you buy
Beg, borrow or steal
And all you create
And all you destroy
And all that you do
And all that you say
And all that you eat
And everyone you meet
And all that you slight
And everyone you fight
And all that is now
And all that is gone
And all that's to come
And everything under the sun is in tune
But the sun is eclipsed by the moon

"There is no dark side of the moon really. Matter of fact it's all dark."
