Just found this very pretty arrangement whilst listening to a Terence McKenna talk. It's hard to stay positive in these times, music always lifts my spirit.

 
I’ve been revisiting my Neo-classical metal days. There’s some real beauty in between the shredding. The song begins with Adagio in G minor, which he performs with heart. But my favorite part is the E minor slow section at 5:16. The diminished chord is his sweet spot. I know it’s not for everybody, but this album came out right after high school, and I was right on the cusp of playing in clubs professionally. This album changed my course because it married the classical music my trained pianist father played through my entire childhood with the heavy metal I was into as a teenager. It can still move me to tears, believe it or not!😄

 
Some more music for eclipse day.
Vaughn Monroe - "Racing with the Moon"



Racing with the moon
High up in the midnight blue
And then all too soon
It's lost from view

Gazing at the stars
Dreaming of the love we knew
And then like the moon
It fades from view

In the blue heavens I see
Your face smiling at me
My heart will never be free
Until we're back together

Racing with the moon
That is what I'll always do
'Til I overtake the moon and you
