Song of the Day 4/8: Pink Floyd, “Eclipse”

C’mon, what else would you expect? The final track from the LP that has spent more than 1,000 weeks on the Billboard album chart, with sales of more than 45 million. For those who’ve never used the record as an alternate soundtrack to “The Wizard of Oz,” the heartbeat fade-out plays just as the Tin Man is telling Dorothy and the Scarecrow that he doesn’t have a heart.

Don’t know if this afternoon’s weather will cooperate – with luck “partly cloudy” means the clouds will part – but the show starts at 2:08 p.m. and lasts until 4:25, with peak coverage of the sun’s disc at about 3:20. You young-‘uns might be around when the state gets to witness a total eclipse, in 2079.
