EVENTIDE song

[cam83]

I love this song too. Her pronounciation is priceless, so full of purity. The lyrics are just amazing! The song fits together so well. This is NOT just easy listening. It's beautiful, orchestrated music with all types of genres thrown in. This was a brother who knew what sounded good, and a sister who could add to a song by her voice.

My thoughts,

I wont get into the easy listening thing again but I consider this and Aurora to be two parts to one song so the same commentary made about Aurora applies to this gem as well. Again a fitting way to end Horizon and another short but sweet song. I love both songs!

Excellent description Cam. The song is smoky and moody. The songs (both "Aurora" and "Eventide") have paasion and heart, but in a soothing and tender way.

Both Aurora and Eventide remind me of a dream. Aurora starts Horizon off on a dream and Eventide wraps it up. They are simple, yet complex songs that fits the mood of the Horizon CD.

Well stated, Moe. I like your description, as it does have that dreamlike quality. I am rereading Coleman's book, and Karen says they "rushed" back into the studio and recorded both of these in one night....sounds like there's so much too it that wouldn't have been possible. Wonder what they were thinking during this recording session? Whatever it was, these are amazing, as Cam said - not easy listening at all...just pure magic.

Like the descrption here I never really thought about the songs or Horizon having a dream like quality to them but now that you pointed this out is seem to fit the theme of the record so well. Love the description!

Horizon broke the record of advance ordered copies by ABBA when released in the UK. Ken.
