YOU WANT IT DARKER

You may have heard there’s a total solar eclipse scheduled for Monday.




And for those of you in the US and Mexico who will actually be able to see at least some of it, you’ll naturally need a music playlist while you’re staring at the sun.

Lucky for you, the internet is awash with them. And of course, most of them have the same obvious song choices.
And then there’s mine.





Actually, a few of these do appear on other playlists, although in a few cases I used the same song but a different artist, or a different version of the song by the same artist.

Anyway, I was spoiled for choice – this was compiled from a pool of 100 songs. So if you’re thinking, “Hey, you forgot xxxxxxxxxxxx,” well, you might be right, but there’s a good chance it was on my shortlist.

PRODUCTION NOTE 1: Yes, I didn’t include Pink Floyd’s “Eclipse” – mainly because I never thought it worked as a standalone song. To me, it’s really just an extension of “Brain Damage”, and that song doesn’t fit on a playlist with an eclipse theme.

PRODUCTION NOTE 2: The Hurra Torpedo song might require a little context.

This is it.





Going dark,
