about

"In honour of Piano Day, I wanted to choose a song where the piano part was iconic, instantly recognisable and also integral to the arrangement. ‘Teardrop’ is just that. I’ve known the song for as long as I can remember (it was released when I was 7 years old) and I love the Massive Attack original, but it’s Elizabeth Fraser’s voice that captivates me and I’ve always wanted to strip it back to its purest form. This recording I made at home, and [in lieu of felt] I used a giant woollen scarf to dampen the strings. I love hearing all the cricks and cracks of the piano and how the muted strings expose that unusual melody line and vulnerable lyric. Whilst I’m sure there are many covers of this song, I’m happy that my take can live amongst them." — Douglas Dare
