When You Say Nothing At All - The Petersens (LIVE)

[@Liz.Newton]

*LYRICS - When You Say Nothing At All* ------------ It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart Without saying a word you can light up the dark Well try as I may I could never explain What I hear when you don't say a thing The smile on your face lets me know that you need me There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall Oh you say it best when you say nothin' at all All day long I can hear people talking out loud But when you hold me near you drown out the crowd Well ol' Mr Webster could never define What's being said between your heart and mine The smile on your face lets me know that you need me There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall Oh you say it best when you say nothin' at all [x2] Album: Live Sessions Vol 01

I don't know how many for this particular video but it usually takes them only 2 to 4 takes to shoot the video, 5 is already an exception. It's a craft The Petersens (together with their sound engineer and their videographer) have mastered extremely well.

Thanks Petersens. The Keating's song reminds me of my wife Annabella Posciatto who died a year ago here in Florence. She was an anesthesiologist and was 38 years old. She died from Covid 19 saving lives. I am also a doctor and despiste my sadness I continúe to work in the hospital. "When you say nothing at all" makes me remember her and is the path between sorrow and joy. Hopefully one day they will come to Florence, the most beatiful city in Italy and Europe, and can sing on the Vecchio bridge. Blessings.

Her voice is different than Krauss', but the richness and expression in her voice makes you forget anyone else ever sang this song. That's pretty impressive.

My wife had breast cancer surgery today, for the second time in 8 weeks. They just didn't feel like they got enough tissue the first time. No chemo needed. God is good. A month and a half from now, radiation will start. I didn't expect to get weepy when listening to this, but... Thanks KZbin, for getting me addicted to another fantastic family band. The young lady who sang lead is gifted. This whole family is gifted. I'm sure they worked hard to get as good as they are, and they continue to work hard. I could hear her smile in the lyric "Old Mr. Webster -". How awesome to see a family do something this amazing together. God bless you, Petersens. Stay well.
