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???

Strangers passing in the street by chance two separate glances meet and I am you and what I see is me. And do I take you by the hand and lead you through the land and help me understand the best I can

Is a song better because it's harder to play?????

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

RIP in bossa nova heaven.

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...

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.

I don't have that song, which album do I need to buy?

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

Mood for the day.

BTW, I think Horizons is much easier to play than MFTD!!

Mood for a Day is beautiful, I pick it, though Horizons is great too.

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,
