Excerpted from Pink Martini's live concert at Edgefield in Portland, "Over the Valley" is a Pink Martini original song, with lyrics inspired by the view from China Forbes's home. It first appeared on the band's fourth studio album Splendor in the Grass. Filmed on a rainy day in September 2021, soon after the band started touring again after a long hiatus during quarantine, this performance features lead singer China Forbes, violinist Nicholas Crosa, and bandleader/pianist Thomas Lauderdale, a peaceful moment from an epic 3-hour concert that was also broadcast to the band's fans online.
LYRICS:
Over the valley
I saw a silver cloud
With a pink lining
I said it right out loud
There’s no denying
You are my one and only love
And we’ll see over the valley
The moon rise above
Over the valley
This house among the trees
Where we’ve been hiding
Making our memories
And I’m deciding
You are my one and only love
And we’ll be over the valley
As the moon shines above
The autumn breezes carry all the bluebirds
Down to where the sun still shines
If we could hold this day
In our hearts someway
We would never roam
Ever far from home
Over the valley
Just above the fray
The sun is setting
And when we’re old and grey
I’ll still be betting
You are my one and only love
And over the valley
The moon shines above
