Clone Cover of "1901" (the version by Birdy)

This is a cover of a cover; Birdy's rendition of the song 1901 is so beautiful that I didn't dare change the arrangement, and instead tried to recreate the tune, completely instrumental in nature, and using trumpets in lieu of vocals.

I did transpose it up 3 half steps to the key of Eb, for the sake of the trumpet. I played to a click at the original tempo, which is 128 bpm. Order of recording was first Keys, then Drums, then Bass, then both Trumpets. (I did a lot of trumpet takes).

spoiler alert: I haven't played the trumpet in years, and that is rather apparent in listening through. I considered trying to overdub better takes for better quality, but I like the rawness, so these are all full takes, no edits.
