I was lucky enough to experience a total eclipse of the sun when I was a child in Oregon. It is an experience worth traveling to. I've also experienced a few partial eclipses... meh.
If you want to hear a rare countertenor singing about a total eclipse, may I suggest:

"A countertenor (or contra tenor) is a type of classical male singing voice whose vocal range is equivalent to that of the female contralto or mezzo-soprano voice types, generally extending from around G3 to D5 or E5,[1] although a sopranist (a specific kind of countertenor) may match the soprano's range of around C4 to C6.[2] Countertenors often are baritones or tenors at core, but rarely use this vocal range in performance." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Countertenor
