Everything Under The Sun Is In Tune (But The Sun Is Eclipsed By The Moon)

      “Eclipse” has been my message tone for many years, it is why I often delay in reading and answering the text messages I receive, I always let the song finish first. The closer to one of the greatest albums of all time, its message, as I interpret it, is simple: all that you’ve worked hard for, all that you’ve achieved, all that you’ve created, all that you own, all that you love could vanish instantly—one mistake, one tragedy, one accident, one sudden deadly illness  and everything would disappear and everything you ever did and the summation of everything you are will be rendered meaningless. No matter how in tune your life is at the moment, there’s always  this strong possibility (or certainty) that it will soon be fucked up.

      It’s nihilism at its best,  yes.  But it’s still a great song.

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 (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...
