This performance by Julianne at 2:24, who begins her solo part here and all 3 siblings focus their eyes and hearts fully on her ... simply marvelous. I envy anyone who was allowed to grow up in such a wonderful family. Not to forget the mother's great and soverain contribution on bass.
You can't make old friends but we can keep the old ones as I do... over fifty years of friendship still alive as ever... since we were kids in the same neighborhood... !!!
you know.... i just love everything about this family. Katie's fiddle is smooth. Matt's guitar is solid. 'get it' Mama is a lot of fun. Ellen's voice is incredible. Emmett is the icing on top...... but when Julianne sings.....everything else drifts away. i truly dont believe she knows (and thats probably a good thing) how special is her gift. however..... _allll_ that is secondary. it is evident, the Holy SPIRIT is the wind beneath their wings. thanks for sharing your talents.....
@@theresap3467 I'm not worried anymore, I've come to accept it lol. I mean they already make me tear up all the time, who am I kidding I'll be a sobbing mess 😂
Born in ‘52, my musical breakfast was things like Cliff Richard; Tommy Steele; Tom Jones; Dusty Springfield. Then later my main course was Cream; Jeff Beck; CTA; Traffic; Byrds; Hendrix; Procol Harum; Free. Now, in the more “advanced” stages of my years, my musical feast is topped off by the glorious dessert of The Petersens. Thank you for such quality and warmth, 🙏.
I just can't get enough of them. The differences in the voices and the excellent harmony and boundless talent. Thank you, Petersens for sharing your talents with us.
Mercy! These lovely souls were made to sing to the world! They pic beautiful songs that allow us to get to know them through those songs and fall in love with their unique playing and singing style all over again. Ellen’s voice is so clean and powerful; it’s absolutely gorgeous! I don’t think that there’s a fan out there who doesn’t love you guys! Thank you, please never break up, I will have a severe separation anxiety attack!
You folks did Kenny and Dolly proud. I'm sure Kenny is smiling down on you, and Dolly is smiling up ( she is still quite short you know. ) Thanks to all for the great vocals.
Yes they do. Her high soprano goes with his tenor range. Glad the band regularly has him sing lead. I think he would add to their a Capella songs as well.
That’s just about the best song. I’m sitting outside watching the birds get a bite before bed, the smell of fresh cut grass in the air with the sun going down! I’m drinking a glass of tea... I’m going to fire that song again!!! Thank you Dan
Of course, mention must also be made of the two boys Aaron and Troy, who made it possible to produce this new masterpiece. They are only two persons, but the result is that of an entire staff . Hats off to them !!!
I have no idea why this video doesn't have a million views. It's one of my personal favorites. Ought to be right up there with the rest of their million + videos.
These weak voices are quite common among the new generation. It is the weakness of her voice that gives it this rather different and child-like tone. For one, I'd be more curious to listen to her when her voice gains a bit more strength.
You such an amazing group Emmett was great addition all your voices are hypnotic and Ellen’s hair is beautiful never stop doing what your doing I’m a huge fan for life
It's so cute when Julianne starts singing how everyone looks happily and proud at her. Her voice is actually pretty special and I really like it alot. Worth digging into I think! Keep the video's coming!!
I wanna move to Branson just to be around you guys! Divine love incarnated! When you guys sing/play I cannot be unhappy! It elevates my soul! One day I’m gonna at least fly down to Missouri to see you guys live... a flock of angels! The talent in this family is mindblowing! I cannot get enough of you! If your songs are the last I hear in this life I will be at peace.
Some things in life are just so special and beautiful that it make's you stop in that moment and take notices. Good music that goes right to the heart and soul will stop you in your tracks. Your music does that to me. What a beautiful family and that harmony just Keeps me wanting more and more. Good music is timeless and last forever .Its sad the other beautiful things in life such as love ,family, and time passes much too fast to fully enjoy them. Stop and enjoy what makes you happy .(Your music )
Really can't think of words to express how good this is. So nice to hear all the siblings, and Emmet, sing -- every voice a unique and beautiful instrument.
Hello the Petersens I've read on this site,that someone said "I'm always smiling when I see and listen to you singing. It is exactly the same thing for me . Thank you for this . (MESSAGE FROM FRANCE)
The way I watch you in RUclips, you're a classic, conservative and a talented American family. I congratulate your parents for the upbringing . God bless you guys.
I love, love, love this song. It's such a wonderful example of great all of your talents are! The only thing that would have been better is if Mama would have joined in!🙂
Petersens, in a week where I've had to say goodbye to my doggie friend of 13.5 years and my grandmother a few weeks earlier, along with the stresses of healthcare work in this day and age, you are a big bright light that warms my day; bless you for all you do, and I'm happy to be a patron to support you as you have for so many.
Wish I had old friends like you all !!!! I love your music and your whole family . Your light is shining brightly all over the world ! God has blessed us all through your witness . Thanks
I love this arrangement. It has taken a beautiful song & gave it a face lift. I would love a recording of this version. I recently lost a very close Friend, one that I looked up to as a father figure. He was a Marine, Father, Grandfather & Great-Grandfather. I will miss him terribly. Thank You for Your song. Semper Fidelis
Thanks for inviting us all over to your house. I could take a whole evening of this "concert from your living room": And it is awesome that everyone got a chance to sing....(well except for Mama Petersen). Hopefully we will hear her next time.
The magical and crystal clear voices! I am from Russia, I have been playing musical instruments for a long time and I did not hear anything more beautiful than these people! Good luck to you all! And many thanks for your creativity - you make life brighter!
The original is a very beautiful and touching song. And yet!...Somehow... This cover is much better. You guys harmonize together perfectly! Never stop making music please!
Absolument magnifique, d'une pureté rare de nos jours et joué et chanté avec une passion tellement belle à écouter autant qu'à regarder. Bravo à vous la famille Petersen. Avec mes meilleures pensées de Suisse.
God has truly blessed you all. I have to say, each of you is unique with your own special presence and style ....including mom on bass. Loved to see you all chime in on this one!
Wunderschönes Lied - sehr eindrücklich gesungen mit den verschiedenen Charakter-Stimmen! Es macht einfach Spass zuzuhören und sich von den Klängen treiben zu lassen und dann: Julianne 🤫🤗🥰!! Gefühlvoll, zart und mit hinreissender Stimme zieht sie mich in den Bann - das geht tief ins Herz. Vielen Dank!

*LYRICS - You Can't Make Old Friends*
------------
What will I do when you're gone?
Who's gonna tell me the truth?
Who's gonna finish the stories I start
The way you always do?
When somebody knocks at the door
Someone new walks in
I will smile and shake their hand
But you can't make old friends
You can't make old friends
Can't make old friends
It was you and me since way back when
But you can't make old friends
How will I sing when you're gone?
'Cause it won't sound the same
Who'll join in on those harmony parts
When I call your name?
You can't make old friends
You can't make old friends
It was me and you since way back when
You can't make old friends
When Saint Peter opens the gate
And you come walking in
I'll be there just waiting for you
'Cause you can't make old friends
When I'm out on the stage all alone
And I hear the music begin
We both know the show must go on
But you can't make old friends
You can't make old friends
You can't make old friends
And you and me will be young again
You can't make old friends
Yes me and you will be together again
'Cause you can't make old friends
Album: Live Sessions, vol. 02
thanks, ol' friend!
@@singmysong1167 That made me laugh!

This performance by Julianne at 2:24, who begins her solo part here and all 3 siblings focus their eyes and hearts fully on her ... simply marvelous. I envy anyone who was allowed to grow up in such a wonderful family. Not to forget the mother's great and soverain contribution on bass.
It's everything. So much love there, you can feel it
I'm a 44 year old man..... I cried listening to this. Sounds awesome
I love the way the sisters look at each other during songs.
Julianna's smile is contagious
You can't make old friends but we can keep the old ones as I do... over fifty years of friendship still alive as ever... since we were kids in the same neighborhood... !!!
When Julianne smiles the whole room lights up!!! 😊
Much more lights up then. I love it!
I agree!
The most beautiful smile I've seen...
The whole World lights up.
Not nice to make fun of her braces like that...
you know.... i just love everything about this family. Katie's fiddle is smooth. Matt's guitar is solid. 'get it' Mama is a lot of fun. Ellen's voice is incredible. Emmett is the icing on top...... but when Julianne sings.....everything else drifts away. i truly dont believe she knows (and thats probably a good thing) how special is her gift.
however..... _allll_ that is secondary. it is evident, the Holy SPIRIT is the wind beneath their wings.
thanks for sharing your talents.....
This video finally nailed down who has the best and my favorite voice in the band........ whoever is singing at the moment.
Well there you go 👍👍😁
I want to argue with you but then someone else starts singing
Nicely said.
Amen!
Totally agree! What a blessing this group is. No matter what they sing, it’s my new favorite.
I'm a little bit worried that when I finally drive to Missouri to see the Petersens I'm gonna cry the whole show 😂
Yup 😂
@@theresap3467 I'm not worried anymore, I've come to accept it lol. I mean they already make me tear up all the time, who am I kidding I'll be a sobbing mess 😂
I keep coming back to this song. One of my favorite covers by one of my favorite groups.........
There is something special when Julianne and Emmitt sing together.
I prefer to listen to Emmett and Katie duets, they are so beautiful to me, especially Come to Jesus.
So beautiful how everyone sings their lines and duets with someone else.. very moving!
Much better than the original recording. You feel the experience of family members that had to move often.
My sister suffers from covid. I even may not visit her because of quarantene. Music helps a troubled soul. Thank You!
I don't understand why this video has only 451000 views ... It is one of their best performances. Much better than the original!
Agreed
5 different voices---1 perfect harmony
Kenny and Dolly will be happy with the way you have treated this outstanding song
Born in ‘52, my musical breakfast was things like Cliff Richard; Tommy Steele; Tom Jones; Dusty Springfield. Then later my main course was Cream; Jeff Beck; CTA; Traffic; Byrds; Hendrix; Procol Harum; Free. Now, in the more “advanced” stages of my years, my musical feast is topped off by the glorious dessert of The Petersens. Thank you for such quality and warmth, 🙏.
What a beautiful family
It is really nice how everyone smiles when someone else sings. Great job everyone
The blend of their voices is just medicine for the heart and soul.
I totally agree - Listening to those voices with those beautiful arrangements is something so very special!
I just can't get enough of them. The differences in the voices and the excellent harmony and boundless talent. Thank you, Petersens for sharing your talents with us.
No matter how bad my day might have been, any of your songs make those problems melt away.
Mercy! These lovely souls were made to sing to the world! They pic beautiful songs that allow us to get to know them through those songs and fall in love with their unique playing and singing style all over again. Ellen’s voice is so clean and powerful; it’s absolutely gorgeous! I don’t think that there’s a fan out there who doesn’t love you guys! Thank you, please never break up, I will have a severe separation anxiety attack!
Smiling with tears at the same time. It feels good. ♥️
Families are like a jigsaw puzzle. If you put it together with love they make a beautiful picture just like you guys. Brian.
Now I just need to hear Mom sing & I'll have lived a life complete..
dolly and kenny would be proud
You folks did Kenny and Dolly proud. I'm sure Kenny is smiling down on you, and Dolly is smiling up ( she is still quite short you know. ) Thanks to all for the great vocals.
Thank you!!
Soo much better than the original!!!
@@geraldparker3118 every cover they do ends up sounding better than the original and ends up becoming theirs
@@brentfaulkner1980 they amaze me so much talent ! All good looking/ beautiful! But not trashy!
Maybe Dolly will join you in a song one day....
Julianne and Emmet have the most awesome blend of harmony
klausb54 agree totally..
Yes they do. Her high soprano goes with his tenor range. Glad the band regularly has him sing lead. I think he would add to their a Capella songs as well.
Thank you,Katie you’re the best , Ellen powerful,Emmet melody, Jules unique
This song is like a “Petersens Sampler.” Everyone (except Mom) got a chance to solo. Love this song!
I love Julianne's voice and her smile ❤️❤️❤️❤️
That’s just about the best song.
I’m sitting outside watching the birds get a bite before bed, the smell of fresh cut grass in the air with the sun going down! I’m drinking a glass of tea...
I’m going to fire that song again!!!
Thank you
Dan
Love ans admiration from New-Caledonia
Living the dream mate, cheers from down under.🇦🇺
Wow glad to have found this video where 5 of them actually sang! More of this please!
Katie in the beginning always gets me in the feels.
Beautiful to the power of 6. I was waiting to hear momma chime in also.
This family is addictive.
I have just seen original video with Dolly and Kenny. It made me cry but this song is ideal for your family.
Of course, mention must also be made of the two boys Aaron and Troy, who made it possible to produce this new masterpiece. They are only two persons, but the result is that of an entire staff .
Hats off to them !!!
Any time they want to play here on the Outer Banks of NC...I will most definitely be in the audience!!! Especially if they do this song!!!!
I have no idea why this video doesn't have a million views. It's one of my personal favorites. Ought to be right up there with the rest of their million + videos.
Half way there!
Thank you to your family for sharing your gifts with us.
Julianne has such a unique and interesting voice signature and color.
shes something Special, n Im gonna buy a new pair of jeans
Right? They all have AMAZING voices. But Julianne's voice hits different. I've honestly never heard a voice quite like it.
I concur, very distinct, great control. Love their harmonies, Nice!
These weak voices are quite common among the new generation. It is the weakness of her voice that gives it this rather different and child-like tone. For one, I'd be more curious to listen to her when her voice gains a bit more strength.
@Daroff Not necessary the best but unique and very interesting...it's a fact
This might be their best cover. The arrangement is great, and having all the voices...just amazing.
I love the way all of them stop playing for Julianne voice shining with only steel guitar backup. And I totally support her jeans.
Like the way Emmett & Julianne's voices sound together. :)
Agreed, something extra there,
Love Katie's vocals here. Plus strong stuff by bandmates. Cool jeans, Julie.
Julianne is a superstar in making. Love her voice.
You such an amazing group Emmett was great addition all your voices are hypnotic and Ellen’s hair is beautiful never stop doing what your doing I’m a huge fan for life
What a gorgeous performance
Every song they sing makes me cry
Every song they do hits deep in the soul.
After listening to this song over a hundred times , I just realized that is another masterpiece from the Petersen's
Julianne has the sweetest voice I've ever heard!
Everyone sang... except mom! Still, very cool and a great showcasing of all of your voices. All great, and all different 😊
Mom singing is about to be posted on our Patreon!! So pumped to share it with you guys :)
ALRIGHT!!! Sing it GIRL!!!
@@ThePetersens I actually thought Mom chooses not too..sing?
Simply Wonderful 2 me "❤❤❤❤❤"
It's so cute when Julianne starts singing how everyone looks happily and proud at her. Her voice is actually pretty special and I really like it alot. Worth digging into I think! Keep the video's coming!!
When are you going to play: “Fire starter” by The Prodigy?
I was just thinking the same.
agree
I wanna move to Branson just to be around you guys! Divine love incarnated! When you guys sing/play I cannot be unhappy! It elevates my soul! One day I’m gonna at least fly down to Missouri to see you guys live... a flock of angels! The talent in this family is mindblowing! I cannot get enough of you!

A great arrangement. I loved hearing juliannes and emmetts voices together.
Yes....an awesome combination!
Matt bradke yep just want to hear more of this combo
I did a double take when I heard that "new" voice alone, then I actually looked and it was Emmett. He deserves more solos!
One of my favorite Petersen’s songs! Love the way they sing this, great harmonizing, just wonderful!
Really can't think of words to express how good this is. So nice to hear all the siblings, and Emmet, sing -- every voice a unique and beautiful instrument.
Great job guys. I hope we get to hear a duet from Emmett and Julianne soon. Love how their voices mesh.
The young lady with the "violin" has a great voice.
That's our Katie!
The love and admiration this family has for each other is heartwarming, we all need more of this in our lives.
Hello the Petersens I've read on this site,that someone said "I'm always smiling when I see and listen to you singing. It is exactly the same thing for me . Thank you for this . (MESSAGE FROM FRANCE)
Those voices, that playing, those smiles - beautiful, 🙏
I love so much (and Julianne too) from France
So beautiful! And in 30 or 40 years y'all are going to have a whole new understanding of just how special "old friends" are. Mom knows :)
I cried through this song.
I love how all their voices are beautiful and different..yet go so well together...give the songs so much variety.
The way I watch you in RUclips, you're a classic, conservative and a talented American family. I congratulate your parents for the upbringing . God bless you guys.
Lord, I love this tune.
I love that each of you got a solo in this song. So much talent! Keep this song in your repertoire! 😉
I'm just in love with this family. What more can be said?🤪
I love, love, love this song. It's such a wonderful example of great all of your talents are! The only thing that would have been better is if Mama would have joined in!🙂

Julianne, oh that voice!
I’ve already listened to this like 20 times. I like the tune (haven’t heard before), the duets, the dobro, the smiles...mostly everything.
This one of my new favorites!
I just love love love this. Soooo true and an amazing performance
Wish I had old friends like you all !!!! I love your music and your whole family . Your light is shining brightly all over the world ! God has blessed us all through your witness . Thanks

I heard it involuntarily. The best song I've heard this year
The original is a very beautiful and touching song.
And yet!...Somehow...
This cover is much better.
You guys harmonize together perfectly!
Never stop making music please!
So glad to see Emmett singing more!!
Beautiful.
Absolument magnifique, d'une pureté rare de nos jours et joué et chanté avec une passion tellement belle à écouter autant qu'à regarder. Bravo à vous la famille Petersen. Avec mes meilleures pensées de Suisse.
I keep on back 2:20 ; sweetest voice ever.
I love Julianne's bashful smirk right before she nails her part of the song and the resulting glowing approval from her siblings.
Really lovin' that everybody is showcasing their wonderful voices.
God has truly blessed you all. I have to say, each of you is unique with your own special presence and style ....including mom on bass. Loved to see you all chime in on this one!
Wunderschönes Lied - sehr eindrücklich gesungen mit den verschiedenen Charakter-Stimmen! Es macht einfach Spass zuzuhören und sich von den Klängen treiben zu lassen und dann: Julianne 🤫🤗🥰!!
Gefühlvoll, zart und mit hinreissender Stimme zieht sie mich in den Bann - das geht tief ins Herz.
Vielen Dank!
I love the Petersens. This is my favorite song by them.... Prayers Flying for you all!
You all have such angelic voices. All the fans of The Opry live, on Saturday evenings, keep asking when you'll be invited.
I’m one of them 🙋🏻♂️ 😂
