Music To Watch the Eclipse By...

The 2024 solar eclipse will shroud much of the United States in darkness on Monday, leaving many people to wonder: Is it safe to drive during the celestial event?

We know Americans should wear certified eclipse glasses when looking directly at the eclipse. And millions of Americans are in the eclipse's path of totality, the moment that occurs when the moon completely blocks the sun's light from reaching us. During totality, the eclipse can be viewed with the naked eye.

The eclipse will begin in Texas at 1:27 p.m. CDT and end in Maine at 3:35 p.m. EDT, but the exact time of the eclipse varies by where you are in its path. If you plan to drive during this time, you may not only have to contend with traffic, but need to take steps to stay safe.


“Total Eclipse of the Heart” is a powerful ballad by Welsh singer Bonnie Tyler.  Song Details: The song was released in 1983 as the debut single from Bonnie Tyler’s fifth studio album, "Faster Than the Speed of Night".Composer and Producer: It was written and produced by the legendary Jim Steinman and recorded in 19821. The official music video for “Total Eclipse of the Heart” features Bonnie Tyler in a dramatic and visually captivating setting.



Tyler recorded it in two Big Apple studios — the now-shuttered Greene St. Recording in SoHo, and Power Station in Hell’s Kitchen. After it was released, just ahead of Valentine’s Day in 1983, the single became Billboard’s No. 6 song that year and was also nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance in 1984. In September 2023, the song’s music video reached 1 billion views on YouTube, a feat Tyler called “unbelievable.”
