Pink Martini (with guest singer Storm Large) - Splendor in the Grass

[TheBillMillions]

@FIXER3three - "note for note" is not accurate. There are similar themes, chord structures, etc., and "Burning Bridges" is credited in the booklet as "inspiring" the song. But it obviously isn't "note for note"... that would make it a cover song. Pink Martini has inserted delightful elements, like the Tchaikovsky piano concerto theme, too!

Am I supposed to click like everytime I watch this?

Simply mesmerising performance by Storm....saw her in Newcastle UK with Pink Martini and was blown away by her talent and beauty. She feels every single word she performs, quite a unique storyteller....never ever seen a better girl singer in my life....world class..!!!! It doesnt get any better than this....Long live Storm Large.

how is she not a huge star

[FIXER3three]

...and a note for note copy of "Burning Bridges" featured in "Kelly's Heroes"...:-)

[avandiver]

@FIXER3three Good ear! I caught the same thing. Fact is for me, Pink Martini is an incredible group and "Burning Bridges" is one of my favorite movie themes ever. So, I'm giving them a pass. :-D

I think China is fantastic and all, but the depth and the emotion that Storm puts into this song is something so incredibly powerful... It's almost a religious experience hearing her sing this song. It totally changed my train of thought and there is something so real in her voice and how she sings it that it just makes China seem almost boring. This song, with this singer, is a masterpiece. In my opinion, this is the very pinnacle of their catalogue. Breathtaking. Awe-inspiring.

@seanypatpatterson totally agree, Storm outperforms anyone singing this song

[jupiterfantasy94]

Really beautiful, but I always prefer China

[bwdrums1]

Beautiful song, wonderful performance, especially the vocals !

[brian1679]

love.

[greupnjo]

Its Tchaikovsky: Piano Concerto No. 1

[mairead4321]

@greupnjo Oh thank you.Thought it was Limelight theme.

[mairead4321]

Whats the classical piece in the middle called?

[7855waldo]

EXACTLY WHY has she not been the star of a Broadway musical?

The shit they put on, on Bway, crap that closes two weeks after opening, with vile, ambitious little assholes coming and going & money burnt for nothing -

While a talent like this remained unrecognized?

ARE YOU F'ING KIDDING ME?!?!?!?!

[sandritaombu]

gorgeous!



[SnowRaptor]

Random Tchaikovsky! \o/

[duffault05]

Pink Martini, you're just the best ! I was at the Paris show then at the London one and it was so good. Thank you for bringing such high quality and fabulous music. Come back soon to Europe. We love you !

[mark1jz]

nice song, as is the old version.

but they spelt splendour wrong :)

[GLOBEBLOGGER]

Nice song, best one on the album! Why don't PM do a live album of all their best tracks with a mix of Storm and China?

Storm went down a storm in Liverpool, bucketloads of style and charisma, best show I've seen in ages

[fodgen1]

Saw Storm Large in Newcastle on Monday.I was a bit apprehensive at first but the show and Storm were first class.Count me in as one of her fans, what a personality,voice and stage presence.Hope she does some recording with Pink Martini

[donnawhit]

love, love love Storm Large.

I like this song. The lyrics are well worth studying. Poignant. It reminds me of a Glen Campbell/Jimmy Webb song, I think it was called One Too Many Mornings (I'll have to check). People keep asking whatever happened to great music. It's still there, you just have to look for it. This is exceptional and reminds me of the much missed Cass Elliott.

[4aideen]

Outstanding song - lyrics are amazing....

[simida23]

super !!



[dageek]

One of my favourites! I especially like this part of the lyrics

"Life is moving oh-so-fast I think we should take it slow. Rest our heads upon the grass and listen to it grow."

[darklly21]

Miss Storm sings beautifully but I can't.... I miss China.

[alpine91]

Wow...just....wow!

[09pamma]

beautiful performance - thanks for letting me be there - without being there.

Beautiful voice and as usual beautiful music - thank you Thomas adn Storm

[manni71969]

amazing



[thedisneyblog]

Was trying to remember what memory synapses this triggered and then I remembered "Kelly's Heroes." This version is beautiful and Storm Large is amazing. Thank you for sharing.

[lafranqui78]

Faboulous! i can't wait to see you in Paris in october4.Storm have a great talent.

kisses to china who miss me too.

[h1abbas]

indeed an outstanding singer... It will take me a while to get used that China isn't the one singing splendor in the grass

[TheElephant79]

Geez, "new" Singer is amazin !
