40 Songs For the Solar Eclipse [Playlist]

A once in a lifetime event is happening today, a total solar eclipse visible in North America. (Aug. 21, 2017.) Where we are in Colorado we’ll be able to see the eclipse in 94-97% totality. But many people are making the pilgrimage to see 100%. (So many so, that CDOT is prepping for this to be the worst traffic event of the year.)
The entire eclipse should take about three hours, and we decided to put together a YouTube playlist of eclipse-themed songs for your solar eclipse viewing pleasure. (Or at least for something to listen to if your stuck in traffic today.)

​The songs we included:
  1. Bonnie Tyler – Total Eclipse of the Heart
  2. The Booda Velvets – Staring at the Sun
  3. Soundgarden – Black Hole
  4. Manfred Mann’s Earth Band – Blinded by the Light

  15. Animals – House of the Rising Sun
  16. Maroon 5 – The Sun
  17. Colbie Caillat – Brighter Than The Sun
