And Then You’re Gone - Pink Martini ft. Storm Large | Portland, Oregon 2020

Pink Martini is on tour in 2022! Tickets are on sale now at: Excerpted from Pink Martini’s virtual 2020 New Year’s Eve concert, filmed at Pink Martini World Headquarters in Portland, Oregon, and broadcast on December 31, 2020. “And Then You’re Gone“ is a popular original song for Pink Martini, first heard, sung by China Forbes, on the band’s fourth studio album, Splendor in the Grass. In recent years it has become a staple in Storm Large’s performances with the band. Co-written by Thomas Lauderdale and Splendor in the Grass producer Alex Marashian, with China Forbes and Derek Rieth, the music was inspired by the first movement of Franz Schubert’s lovely Fantasie in F minor for Four Hands D940, from which pianist Thomas Lauderdale plays an excerpt in the opening. This video was shot during the COVID era and Storm Large was patched in from her home. The performance also features Nicholas Crosa on violin, Gavin Bondy on trumpet, and Robert Taylor on trombone. LYRICS: My dear Lorenzo You take my hand And understand The tears that I have cried We light the candles And pour the wine And laugh as if you’ll never leave my side You take me In your arms and tell me That I’ll always be the only one – And then you’re gone! You come to see me On a Saturday Presenting peonies Knowing just what to say We dance until The break of dawn I turn my back And then you’re gone I’m swirling in a sea of stars Twirling to the strum of guitars No one tangos quite the way you do But now my dancing days with you are through You think I miss you Each time you disappear Maybe I used to But it’s becoming clear I know your tricks I’ve heard your song You swear your love And then you’re gone Remember last time It was a perfect day You took me sailing And then you sailed away Now here you are Outside my door You want back in Just like before Well save your breath Don’t make me yawn You’ve had your chance Now just be gone LINEUP: Thomas M.
