Ed Sheeran - VISITING HOURS | Piano Cover by Paul Hankinson

[@madamepresident314]

WOW THIS IS FAST and i am crying... This song just hits the part of us who grieves from the lost of someone we love. I so love your cover. Thanks, Paul! You are a gift.

[@PaulHankinsonMusic]

Oh Maf .... hope you're ok .. it really is SUCH a beautiful and heartfelt song - Ed Sheeran has this incredible gift of being able to communicate with millions as if every one of those people is a friend - he is so sincere and authentic - and manages to put into words and music what so many of us go through in our lives - in a way which feels personal and relatable. I'm glad you connected with my piano version too. Thank you.

Ed Sheeran's performance in Melbourne at Michael Gudinski's memorial service was highly emotional, and so is your arrangement. Very poignant indeed. Thank you Paul 🇦🇺

[@tristanclonan5034]

I just heard Ed's version for the first time half an hour ago. I then open youtube find this beautiful rendition. Thankyou Paul!

[@PaulHankinsonMusic]

thank YOU Tristan - it's such a beautiful song, isn't it?

I speak 3 different languages fluently and I still don't have enough words to express how beautiful this is... Thank you so much

Every time I see and hear a new performance from you, it moves me. It is amazing how wonderful your playing is and I wonder if you get enough sleep. Thank you for another gem for my playlist. If you are ever in Amsterdam, please let me know.

[@djnanistoleronaldogoal4645]

does your house has visiting hours ? I would come to see you play everyday. you never disappoint, in my opinion, one of the best musicians on KZbin and not just because you control the piano, its the fact that you feel music and have a really good ear for it, and know exactly how to use it to deliver the right sound. thank you so much paul.

[@PaulHankinsonMusic]

wow I don't know what to say .. thank you for your beautiful words! Visit any time for a coffee and I'd play you a song for sure.

Such a moving and touching performance and I think your rendition would speak volumes to those who are grieving for the loss of someone dear to them. I have to say that you definitely stayed true to the spirit of the song. Your expressive playing also showed that you played this with a great depth of insight into the emotional aspect of the song. Wonderful job, Paul.

[@solennlc]

Your covers of Ed sheeran's songs are all so moving, wonderfully played, and somehow sound so unique... Would you mind revisiting "nancy mulligan"? It's my favorite song from him and I would love to have a piano version for my wedding ❤️

[@kieran0941]

This is so, so incredible. I wondered if you had the sheet music for this? Would love to give it a go

[@s.k.1222]

Would you mind sharing the sheet notes for this beautiful piece? I would love to be able to play it at home

[@slburns14]

Hey Paul!!! Do you have sheet music to this Visiting Hours you played ?

[@thomaskelly3580]

Sheets?

[@laurom9896]

[@maechellequindo6849]

I wish that heaven had visitin' hours So I could just show up and bring the news That she's gettin' older and I wish that you'd met her The things that she'll learn from me I got them all from you Can I just stay a while and we'll put all the world to rights? The little ones will grow, and I'll still drink your favorite wine And soon they're goin' to close, but I'll see you another day So much has changed since you've been away I wish that heaven had visitin' hours So I could just swing by and ask your advice What would you do in my situation? I haven't a clue how I'd even raise them What would you do? 'Cause you always do what's right Can we just talk a while until my worries disappear? I'd tell you that I'm scared of turning out a failure He'd say, "Remember that the answer's in the love that we create" So much has changed since you've been away I wish that heaven had visiting hours And I would ask them if I could take you home But I know what they'd say, that it's for the best So I would live life the way you taught me And make it on my own I will close the door, but I will open up my heart And everyone I love will know exactly who you are 'Cause this is not goodbye, it is just 'til we meet again So much has changed since you've been away

[@makaylahalliday899]

I would love to hear you play The Rose by Bette Midler

[@thomaskelly3580]

Coloratura by Coldplay can u cover?

[@Pseudonim2381]

Really nice. But, with a little bit of violin or cello, this would have been perfect...
