Full Circle - China Forbes & Pink Martini | 2022

The first single and title track from China Forbes's upcoming solo album, to be released globally on May 17, 2024, "Full Circle" is an original song by China Forbes that has become a regular part of Pink Martini's repertoire. This performance, filmed at Bella Madrona ("The Gardens of Sampson and Beasley"), in Sherwood, Oregon, was a charity performance the band gave in front of a small group of donor-supporters to help raise money to preserve this beautiful sanctuary (which inspired Pink Martini's song "The Gardens of Sampson and Beasley"). Vocalist and songwriter China Forbes is at the piano, and the song also features guitarist Dan Faehnle, with backup vocals by Jimmie Herrod.
LYRICS:
Anybody tell you
This will be so easy
Stay inside the lines
And the blue horizon
All I can tell you
Heartbreak is worth it
And there's nothing you can't get through
Like you do
But you gotta wonder
What you're really made of
When you're falling under
Some spell you don't understand
So you get back up now
Make a new beginning
Suddenly you're back where you started again
We come full circle
We go round-robin
We go up
We burn out
We come down
I go Hail Mary!
You go half nelson
Never know when this place comes back around
Anybody hurt you
Like it doesn't matter
When the love is over
Was it just a dream?
And you thought you'd left those
Lonesome days behind you
They came back around
They came back around
They're coming round...
We come full circle
We go round-robin
We go up
We burn out
We come down
I go Hail Mary!
You go half nelson
Never know when this place comes back around
Don't let go of the wheel
Give it up, you'll fall down
Because nobody else
Can turn your world around
And life will sweep you off your feet
Knock you off and drag you down
Someday you'll find yourself back here again
And you won't believe how far you've come
And you won't believe how much you've done
And you won't believe
That you keep coming round
Keep coming round
We come full circle
We go round-robin
We go up
We burn out
We come down
I go Hail Mary!
You go half nelson
Never know when this place comes back around
