Topic: Horizons v. Mood for a Day Posted: December 22 2005 at 00:17 |
It's so hard to pick just one, i think they're both amazing. Mood For A Day comes right before the amazing Heart of the Sunrise, and Horizons is right before the epic Supper's Ready. How could you choose???

This is something that I read manyv times and still can't understand.
Is a song better because it's harder to play?????

I agree with you. I just can't understand this.  (BTW, Horizons for me)

Mood for a Day is so good not only as Heart of the Sunrise's prelude, but is also just a great song.
Horizon's is great too but I can't say it's more than a prelude to a grand opus. My vote goes to Mood for a Day...

I love both, the fact is that Mood for a Day has been too over played in I don't know how many Yes albums and DVD's, it has bored me.
So I will go with Horizons just by a very small margin.
BTW: Clap´(NOT THE CLAP) is IMO far bellow the level of both.

"Clap" is on The Yes Album, where Jon Anderson introduces it as "The Clap".

Simplicity???
How come I can play Horizon and not Mood for a day (Well, I can play
bits of it but not as a whole like Horizon) and I'm not a guitar player
as my first instrument is the keyboard!!
Mood for a day is more complex then Horizon, no doubt about it! But it
doesn't remove anything to horizon that is really a sweet song and
intro to Supper's ready
I can't decide!

At the first time I heard "Horizons" I thought: how many guitars Hackett played for this piece?
But then I saw he made it in a show and finally understood: he is a great classical guitar player

I can't decide Horizon's is sweeter and less difficult to play (I know from experiance) Mood for a day is longer and quite hard to play, for sound I think it is a tie. Both good,
