about

A magical moment when the world is forced into darkness...

The first release from Sophia Dady, The Eclipse was written following the 20th March 2015 solar eclipse, the first of four eclipses in 2015.

Sophia: "The eclipse was weird - there was an uneasy feeling so I wrote a song about the magical connection of two beings together at the exact moment of totality (darkness) - the awakening of the soul, love... and life!"

The track was produced and mixed by George Shilling whose incredible CV includes Frank Turner, Steve Winwood, Stornoway, Blur, Texas, Primal Scream, Ocean Colour Scene, Porcupine Tree, Mary J. Blige and many others.

Free download for a limited time...!

lyrics

Lyrics:

You stood next to me - I know we could both feel the energy
This situation was so amazing to see
A moment in time - captured in line, you walk to me
We stood together as darkness fell
At the moment
Of totality...

Chorus
Eclipse of our minds, we saw through our eyes
When we were together
A minute in time when we could define this moment forever
Eclipse of our minds we saw through our eyes
When we looked at each other
You turn to me and say
'Now don't you see, every cloud has a silver lining'

The silence around us - except for the sound of a single bird
He's calling out his morning song
As he's done already that dawn
There was a coldness like no other I've felt before
Anticipation calls on the nation
I couldn't rest at all...

Chorus

Many years on time has moved on - but not for me
Imagination's running wild as I re-live the image in my mind
This occasion, perfect location
Was meant to be
With a force that held us together
Into our destiny...

Chorus
