The story behind

Pink Floyd wrote Eclipse as a song that speaks about an astronomical phenomenon. It is not a technical description, but it does touch on the theme of darkness, the blocking of light and the idea of a body that hides. The song does not focus on science, but on the feeling left by an eclipse: a pause in the light, a moment of silence that leaves everything in twilight. The duration is short, only a minute and a half, but in that time it feels as if you are watching something that is moving away, as if darkness were a shadow that moves slowly. The lyrics do not give many details about what an eclipse is, but it leaves an impression of something that happens, something that does not repeat, something that leaves a mark.
