Here is another taste of the kind of unexpected treat you can expect from our live virtual concert from Edgefield, filmed last September, and streaming in its full 3-hour entirety as a virtual concert May 7-9. You don’t want to miss this concert, it is a special treat JAM-PACKED with so many charming moments, new gems like this unexpected extremely Extreme cover duet of "More Than Words," featuring Pink Martini lead singer China Forbes and co-lead singer Storm Large. The live virtual event airs on May 7th and the concert is available to stream through May 9th.

Excerpted from Pink Martini's live concert at Edgefield in Portland, "More Than Words" is a special cover duet of the famous song by Extreme, performed one time, only at this show! Filmed on a rainy day in September 2021, soon after the band started touring again after a long hiatus during quarantine, this video is excerpted from an epic 3-hour concert that will be broadcast starting May 7, for Mother's Day weekend, on ourconcerts.live.

LYRICS:

Saying "I love you"
Is not the words I want to hear from you
It's not that I want you
Not to say, but if you only knew

How easy
It would be to show me how you feel

More than words
Is all you have to do to make it real
Then you wouldn't have to say
That you love me
'Cause I'd already know

What would you do
If I tore my heart in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real

What would you say
If I took those words away
Then you couldn't make things new
Just by saying "I love you"

La di da, da di da, di dai dai da
More than words
La di da, da di da

Now that I've tried to
Talk to you and make you understand
All you have to do is close your eyes
And just reach out your hands

And touch me
Hold me close don't ever let me go

More than words
Is all you have to do to make it real
Then you wouldn't have to say
That you love me
'Cause I'd already know

What would you do
If I tore my heart in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real

What would you say
If I took those words away
Then you couldn't make things new
Just by saying I love you

La di da, da di da, di dai dai da
More than words
La di da, da di da, di dai dai da
More than words
La di da, da di da, di dai dai da
More than words
La di da, da di da

More than words
More than words
