Hi All,
You know what. I have always loved these bookends of the HORIZON albums. I always felt bad, that there wasn't a full, complete song...but you know what would be cool...if Richard put them together...one after the other, and then Richard either singing a third, fourth part as well as an instrumental fade out. I always loved Karen's reading...just intimate, simple and gorgeous!!
What are your thoughts on this...??

I love these bookends as well.
I think I'll just listen to them now!
When I listen to Aurora I feel the morning and when I listen to Eventide it feels like evening. I know the lyrics are written that way, but what's interesting to me is that the music doesn't sway the listener (at least me) toward morning or evening but fits both equally well. Sometimes music takes you to one place or the other but not both regardless of the lyrics.

Aurora and Eventide are both such beautiful peaceful songs. Karen's voice is heavenly. The lyrics are some of the Carpenters' very best and truly do paint a stunning picture of sunrise and sunset.

Like most everything else on "Horizon," these are timeless pieces of art!

... paint a stunning picture of sunrise and sunset. The sunrise and the sunset of the human existence, like I read years ago from a fan who explaint the lyrics of both songs. In Aurora is a baby who is singing, and in Eventide is an ancient moribund who is singing. |

"A shadow vision over me
I know you well" is refering to the shadow of the mother, cause is a new born baby and can not see her.

 I remember my first listen to Horizon. Aurora knocked me off my feet. It had that chill factor all the way. Every song inbetween was great and then closing with Eventide. The same effect from the opening of the album reccurs at the close of it.
