The quartet of backing singers vary their parts, rising in volume, and echoing some of Roger Waters' lyrics, as the piece builds in intensity. The lower-pitched guitar part includes the open G and E strings during the B♭maj7, resulting in an added sixth and a dissonant augmented fourth. The bass line is a descending tetrachord.ĭavid Gilmour recorded two tracks of rhythm guitar, playing arpeggios, one in open position, and one much higher, around the tenth fret. Harmonically, the song consists of a repeating 4-bar chord progression: D, D/C, B♭maj7, and A7sus4 resolving to A7. When the main instrumentation ends at 1:30, the sound of a heartbeat from the first track, " Speak to Me", appears, which appears again in 9/8, and gradually fades to silence. This song serves as the album's end and features a loud, repetitive melody that builds up, then ends with a very quiet outro. The end of the track consists of a fading heartbeat, identical to the opening of the first track on the album, " Speak to Me". On the album, the song transitions, without noticeable break, from the previous song, " Brain Damage", and the two are often played together as a single track on the radio (some DJs call the combined track "The Dark Side of the Moon"). After Waters left the band, Gilmour sang the lead vocal when performing live. It was written and sung by Roger Waters, with harmonies by David Gilmour and Rick Wright. " Eclipse" is the tenth and final track from English rock band Pink Floyd's 1973 album, The Dark Side of the Moon.
