"Eternal?" No - it's Treasure!

[grant]

Just looked up Hayley on Amazon.com and noticed an album listed for release on 01/03/07 entitled "Eternal"

No picture available and no track listing and priced at just under $30.

Anyone know anything more about this title?

Hi Grant,

Nobody knows where Amazon got that title from. I have asked Steve Abbott but he has not commented other than to say that it is NOT the title of Hayley's new album.

Hi Roger and hope you had a good Christmas.

I wasn't inferring anything by my post but have to admit, I did wonder - especially as I think it would be a good title for the new album!!

Hi guys,

Thanks for clearing this up, Roger. I've just checked that Amazon.com entry and it has the release date (of this non-existent album!) as March 1st 2007 which is a Thursday. I don't know of any Country of the world where new CDs are released on a Thursday so I think we can now safely assume that it's not only a non-existent title but also a non-existent album!

The best place for this thread thread isn't really in the "Other Albums" board so I've moved it to the main Albums board where, as we can see, there is an existing thread for Hayley's 3rd International Album, where any similar posts should be added. Perhaps we should rename this thread to: "Not the 3rd International Album? " For the moment, I've just added a question mark to the thread title

Cheers, Dave

This is funny, I just saw this album listed on Amazon and came here to see if anyone else had seen it. I really think Eternal would be a good title, but it sounds as if Hayley may have already chosen a title.

I don't like the title, it's kind of cheesy.

But don't believe anything Amazon.com says. It can be edited by the public and 'products' can be created by bootleggers.

I mean, I came across a Josh Groban album on Amazon.com once and it was apparently to be released in the year 2012. That's astonishing planning and organisation on Mr. Groban's team's part!

P.S. I think Roger would get the news before amazon.com ever would.

As a result of just graduating from college, I haven't posted in a while, but I am back.

It turns out that this rumor isn't isolated to Amazon.com. VH1's featured Hayley album is Eternal. They have a listed release date of the 26th of February. Funny.

Even though I normally like the word 'eternal', I'm overjoyed to know it's not the actual title of her next album. It just sounds too demanding, as though the songs she's laid down absolutely have to stand the test of time, or else! That's a lot to ask of a 19-year-old.

However, I'm willing to bet that the word "eternal" is indeed a factor in Hayley's next album, even if it's not part of the title per se. She's already recorded "Eternal Flame" and might have again, as is her wont with some previous recordings. Of all her earliest songs, this one would probably most benefit from a new rendering.

By the way, there are numerous classical pieces that deal in eternity. It's forever been a popular subject. If you saw the movie 2001, A Space Odyssey you would have heard some of Gyorgy Ligeti's "Lux Aeterna".

My hope is that some great crossover composer has crafted a wonderful new song for Hayley that communicates the mystery of eternity, perhaps as a companion piece to "Across the Universe of Time". If there's anybody qualified to sing about concepts like infinity, time and space, it's gotta be Ms. Westenra.

I agree with the adjectival use so how about 'Eternally Yours'?

Hi Peter,

I actually think Eternal sounds like a name Hayley would choose for her album. If you think about the meaning of 'eternal', it means forever or endless. I personally think that the title links well with both, Odyssey and Pure!
