81 82 83 84 Season 3 Episode 22: Eclipse

All that you touch, and all that you see All that you taste, all you feel And all that you love, and all that you hate All you distrust, all you save And all that you give, and all that you deal And all that you buy, beg, borrow or steal And all you create, and all you destroy And all that you do, and all that you say And all that you eat, and everyone you meet And all that you slight, and everyone you fight And all that is now, and all that is gone And all that’s to come  And everything under the sun is in tune But the sun is eclipsed by the moon

Roger Waters, Pink Floyd

I recently came across this list (shown below) and picked out several that were unfamiliar to me, or that I hadn’t thought about for a long time, and cobbled them into this week’s offering. Hope you enjoy!
