Is Hard Sun a cover or was it just written by the Gordon guy for the film?

Thanks

    It was a bit more than a small hit way up here - it received massive airplay on the radio and on MuchMusic (our version of MTV)...

    Ed changed a few of the lyrics - to make it his own I suppose...but the original is just the most special song to me because of where I was at that time in my life...I used to have the single...and I don't know what happened to it.

    "When I stayed to pillage her..."
    became
    "When I see her (bitter) charm.."

    and

    "Burned down and threw away the hours..."
    is
    "Bound down and threw away the hours..."

    But that's OK...I like both versions immensely, but the original is just a bit more special to me... or maybe they belong in the "Completely Misheard Lyrics" thread? ;)

    I just saw this one had been posted. I was looking for the one live version and couldn't find it. :(
