An eclipse never sounded this good.

Today, at precisely 2:44pm EST, the moon will fall between the sun and earth in a rare full eclipse. It's been 99 years since the last, and we'll have to endure the full tenure of Trump's presidency plus two years of his unenviable successor to see the next. And it hasn't escaped us that some of us --due to circumstances like keeping jobs, living lives generally detached from any cosmic calendar and, you know, respective geography-- simply won't be able to ruin our sight this afternoon. So instead of lamenting over missing this rare moment in the sky, here's a little something that can bring us together no matter what corner of the globe you happen to be on.

HEAR:The Round-Up: Best Songs of The Week ft. Kari Faux, Kaytranada and Lil B
