Ed Haydon's beautiful piano piece "Hope" was one of my absolute favourite pieces from the Piano Cloud group in 2013. So when we launched a new challenge to record a cover version of another member's music, it was an obvious and immediate choice. 

Rather than simply reproduce the piece in the same way that Ed himself recorded it, I have used his notation as a start point and made some subtle changes. I have added extensions to the chords and re-voiced them, embellished the melody in places and added additional runs and doodles. There's a new ending too. These changes give the piece an "Andrew Eales flavour", while staying true, I hope, to Ed's original vision for the piece.

One of the reasons Ed Haydon's "Hope" was such a great track was its simplicity though, and I realise that by adding complexity I have created a version which is distinct. You may in any case prefer the original, which I encourage you to listen to here:

Ed Haydon: "Hope" (new recording by Andrew Eales)

Across a Hill #4

written and recorded by Britt Warner in Los Angeles, CA

released March 2, 2015

LYRICS:

Like a bruised prizefighter,
I limp from the ring.
Heavyweight, I've grown lighter,
Bee has lost its sting.

Looking back,
At my past victories,
Sad just to live
For some vain memories.

Roses are red,
Ribbons are blue,
Champion rings are gold,
But my glory days are through.

With a bruised and squashed ego,
I seek solitude.
Former queen with broken throne,
Comebacks are eschewed.

Looking back,
I once conquered the world.
So arrogant,
At the time it unfurled.

Roses are red,
Ribbons are blue,
Champion rings are gold,
But my glory days are through.

Used up
I'm bruised
I limp
I'm through

Roses are red,
Ribbons are blue,
Champion rings are gold,
But my glory days are through.

Roses are red,
Ribbons are blue,
Champions all grow old,
Hard to face the day we're through.

Prizefighter

A rainy day in May inspired me to create this piece of music.
