I'm an old session player from the 1970's so can speak with a little bit of authority...Everybody should listen up to this! No auto tune, no big amps, no flashing lights, smoke or dancers. Just a lot of fundamental talent. That's how it's done, kids! (At my age, even Mom's a kid too) The looks on your faces shows how much fun you're having too. You're all inspirational. thanks...
Being an Old Garage Band Guitar picker and a former Southern California DJ back in the early 70's I agree. I won't listen to commercial radio and hyper CG produced music anymore. But i will stand and listen to a street musician for hours, then dump all the cash in my wallet in his jar. Love the Live Pure Music.
Max Thinker hey max since you have had years in the business could you listen to some of the songs I’ve written on my RUclips page? Especially the Virginia songs
Max Thinker. Appreciate if you’d explain what it took to be a *Session Player from the 70’s*? & yr background, for instance, which Towns / States did you feel most at home playing? Cheers🍻
It's now 3 years since I discovered this and you guys. This song still tears me up. Still the most beautiful song I've ever heard. And still crushin on Katie. 💖
99% true. Sirius satellite radio has a great Bluegrass station. Haven't heard the Peterson's on it yet , but someday, I bet. Our local Public radio station hosts 3 hours of Bill Knowlton's Bluegrass Ramble every Sunday too.
It’s incredible how different these sisters’ voices are from each other, and how each voice has its own unique sound. My favorite is always whoever is singing at the moment.
Katie, thank you! Your song makes me hurt, to me, a great song should from time to time, your songwriting here is beyond perfection. With all my shriveled black 🖤, i truly give thanks to you and your wonderful family. I promise you, many will forgive and hopefully heal. WOW
I'm listening to California again. Just a fantastic piece of song writing and a group of musicians that don't take a back seat to anyone I have listened to on you tube.
OMG I cant believe I listen to this song 4-5- times a week and still get choked up. Thanks to all you Petersens for giving me at 75 years old the joy of hearing real music. Such a refreshing change from the "stuff" I hear today!
Dear Petersen family, At a time when the world is ravaged by an evil infection, and I’m one of the doctors in the UK working round the clock to fight this, it is vital that in those rare moments of time a away from work there is somewhere to come to for peace and reflection. Thank you for giving me a refuge with your beautiful music for a little while. It helps me to relax to listen to you and know we will all get through this x
Alan Woodall thank you Dr Woodall. I’m a health care practitioner myself. Totally agree, needed something uplifting. This group is great. God bless you and protect you. I pray for us all. Thanks 🙏🏻🀄️☮️
This is a beautiful, gut-wrenching song. I hope someday, Katie, you will be able to sing an equally beautiful song with a happier romantic ending for you.
I like this music because it is acoustic with natural voices. This type of bluegrass music is excellent. I am glad young people are still performing this excellent music.
This is one of the most beautiful songs that I've ever heard. These young musicians don't ever try to one up each other and just settle in to the songs that they play. Katie's voice is just pure beauty here and the harmonies are just right. The instrumentation is perfect with the short fiddle lead and the break with that beautiful dobro. This group is just pure magic and their music just calms the soul. I give this song a perfect 10.
This song is absolutely gorgeous. Katie sings this so beautifully and I just love the harmonies by Matt and Ellen. So nice to hear Emmett echoing the chorus on his dobro! Great instrumentation across the board.
My wife has Alzheimer’s and loves this song. I play the video multiple times a night for her. I wrote a poem that I read to her every night as well. Memories fade slowly, no please don’t go, not yet, I whisper to the twilight, to the echoes of our duet. I am your one and only, and I’m not ready for you to forget, The stories of our lifetime, the dreams we haven’t met. I think it was late that summer, I saw a difference in your eyes, A distant, cloudy shadow, where once the sunshine lies. The laughter we had shared, the moments pure and wise, Started slipping through the cracks, like whispers in the skies. Memories fade slowly, no please don’t go, not yet, I hold onto the fragments, with a heart full of regret. I am your one and only, and I’m not ready for you to forget, The love that binds us closer, in every sunrise and sunset. The days blend into nights, the seasons swiftly flow, Yet in the quiet moments, I see the you I know. I think it was late that summer, when time began to slow, And the life we built together, began to ebb and go. Memories fade slowly, no please don’t go, not yet, I’ll weave the threads of yesterday, in hopes we never fret. I am your one and only, and I’m not ready for you to forget, The vows we made in tenderness, that love can’t ever debt. So here we stand in twilight, as stars begin to rise, I think it was late that summer, I saw a difference in your eyes. Yet in this endless journey, beneath the changing skies, My heart will always whisper, our love never dies.
Devastatingly Beautiful! Mastery in writing, singing and playing... the whole group... what music is all about. Ellen & Matt harmonies. Tasty fills by Juliann & Emmett... love the ending. Solid rhythm in guitar with Matt and supportive bass by mom. As a music major, bluegrass has never been real big with me, but you Peterson's have WON me over. What a vibe you convey. Ellen's peace in the moment... It's almost as though each of you can see and feel the love for your sister and crave to hold hands with her on the going though. Thanks for blessing us all with your gifts.
almost 30 years in the music business and still I get surprised sometimes.....respect to you all for making true music on real instruments that most people of your age will never start playing. Thank you for keeping the soul of music alive...
In the world of popular music there are artists who are good composers and those who are good performers. Katie bats it out of the ballpark in both instances.
I don't know how to put into words how beautiful the music and song are. I'm not a religious person, just spiritual, but I feel blessed to have been able to listen to you all. Simply wonderful.
I can't get this song out of my head. Nor do I want to. I've been playing music for 54 years and it doesn't get any better than this. Beautifully written, beautifully performed. Thank you.
Very beautiful. Katie has such an awesome voice. Katie is also a talented songwriter. This song sounds like it was written from the heart about an experience that happened. God bless you all. I love listening to your family. So much talent. Thank you for sharing.
@@manfredadams3252 I've heard too others like Deep Purple, The Who, The Police, Black Sabbath, AC/DC and so on. The music of the Petersens certainly brings many of their fans to dream. P.s. Your name looks very German!?
I was wandering on RUclips and stumbled on a The Petersens's video. "Let's watch it", I thought, and, man, this has been one of my best decisions about music as yet. I fell in love immediately. What a great musicians and singers!
The siblings have strengths that are unique to one another; not one replaces the other. This original song Katie wrote demonstrates her inner beauty and talent that old men tear up about. It's near perfect for her and it's strange to be the old man grandpa I once couldn't understand. Keep it up Katie.
Thank you dear Petersens. We listen to you a lot in Belgium. You are doing a remarkable job that brings sunshine to all families. And also to all those in the world for whom life is not easy.
This sounds like a classic hit that has been around for decades, and when you hear it on the radio you feel good about life. Superbly written/arranged, Katie!
Katie made a beautiful song out of heartbreak. I can't even sing along because I break down thinking about what she must have gone through. Yet here she is with all her sibs (and Emmett) turning lemons into the most incredible lemonade.
I grew up in... not great circumstances. Lots of pain, violence and death. Watching this FAMILY create something beautiful is just... I don’t even know how to describe it. I WANT them to be every bit as happy as they seem to be! I want them to always be close and important to one another. I want them to always be special and have joyous lives!
so sorry to hear about your past... i think perhaps what the Petersens' secret is their being in Christ which anyone can have as well... the Lord is redeeming all things... our past no matter how bad is never the last word ... Jesus is.. May His love engulf your whole being and bring wholeness, peace and joy into your life 🙏
@@aiaxander1468 I appreciate the sentiment, but unfortunately “Christianity” played a fairly significant role in the majority of traumas and dramas in my life. I put Christianity in parentheses bet I don’t believe several members of my family were actually Christians, but did use Jesus to manipulate people/children into unconscionable predicaments, and then forgive themselves for horrible acts. I am not casting stones at you, or the Peterson’s for their faith, and I applaud those who actually practice what they preach. But I’ve learned the hard way to turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to religion and appreciate people for how they actually behave.
This is a very very good song. I at first thought it was a Jimmy Webb number and that says a lot. Katie your emotional rivers run deep and you have the rare ability to put them into words and music. Brilliant.
The blood of a heart wound can grow the flowers of a deep and beautiful song. It made cry...A deep, beautiful, well written, and arranged song! Thank you...
This is such a beautiful and tender song. It's perfect. I started several comments only to delete them. This is such a beautiful song... written and performed by beautiful souls. There is nothing else left to say.
I just love that harmony. So wonderful. This has been a very rough year, but with God's help and the Petersen's beautiful music, I've made it through. Thank you for your witness and music.
My dad was in a bluegrass band for 50 years...I grew up around fiddles and banjo's all my life....I WILL get to Branson and see you folks soon....one word your music gives is......Hope !
This is a hit song that just hasn't been discovered by mainstream music channels. Nicely written and performed. The Petersen parents are to be commended for an outstanding job of raising such great children.
Oh wow! I’m in tears of joy...I will certainly be advertising this family all through Ireland and the U.K. Love them, every one of their talents. World Class
Gorgeous original composition/song. I get the sense of cherished memory, a respect for the way things were, and a sad but peaceful acceptance that those things can never again come to pass. This is a very special emotion. I think the Portuguese and Brazilians would call this emotion "Saudade".
Those 'almost's' are Father God's greatest gifts. Sometimes unanswered prayers and exactly what we need. Thank you Petersen's for sharing your gift with us. Much love in Messiah, Chris
Wow! First off, that's some incredible songwriting right there. If all you had done was create the lyrics and the music, it would have been a huge enough accomplishment... but on top of that, the performance of it! Oh my! Well done, Petersens... with the biggest congratulations to Katie for being an amazing songwriter with unlimited potential. The future is bright for this family.
I don’t know how Katie gets through that song without weeping. So poignant. If that happened to me, I don’t think I could sing through it without becoming a mess. I presume it is healing for her. I sure hope so, it is beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
Katie; you have the gift of ‚bending‘ the time in the melody. The only other singer that I have heard who achieves this is Eva Cassidy. It creates a timeless feeling, and it‘s so enchanting to listen to. ❤️❤😉
I really like your comments. Have you heard Katie's entire solo album yet? You can find it on digital platforms and on this YT channel. ruclips.net/video/XGXlLpiH3WI/видео.html
Katie what a beautiful voice. The music is so natural, all acoustic. I so much admire the entire band. Everyone’s voices and instruments are just a wonderful mix.
It's really a beautiful song Kat, there is so much love and melancholy, tears and sweet memories ... and your eyes are not as happy as ever, as if loves and memories were yours. Be proud of yourself Kat, who gives love finds love ...

Here I am, listening to this song in early 2024, and it's still great. Thanks for all the great music.

This is real.cant take too much new stuff....unless it's acoustical like this
Max Thinker.
Appreciate if you’d explain what it took to be a *Session Player from the 70’s*?
& yr background, for instance, which Towns / States did you feel most at home playing?
Cheers🍻
This is one of the greatest groups of all time!
This is a flawless piece of songwriting, and a gut wrenching performance. I am slain.
What a great review!
It's now 3 years since I discovered this and you guys. This song still tears me up. Still the most beautiful song I've ever heard. And still crushin on Katie. 💖
The best music out there isn't on the radio! Who agrees?
I do
The radio is crap.. All the good music is independent and underground. I'm a rock player but I love these guys, they are so pure and real.
Agreed!
100%
99% true. Sirius satellite radio has a great Bluegrass station. Haven't heard the Peterson's on it yet , but someday, I bet.
Our local Public radio station hosts 3 hours of Bill Knowlton's Bluegrass Ramble every Sunday too.
Finding this RUclips channel is like finding a Rembrandt painting at a yard sale.......
Absolutely. They're the BEST.
Amen
Very well expressed.
Best freaking comment !!! lol so so true
facts.
It’s incredible how different these sisters’ voices are from each other, and how each voice has its own unique sound. My favorite is always whoever is singing at the moment.

I'm listening to California again. Just a fantastic piece of song writing and a group of musicians that don't take a back seat to anyone I have listened to on you tube.
The blend and timbre of siblings cannot be surpassed!
This song needs wide exposure. It is a beautiful song and beautifully performed.
OMG I cant believe I listen to this song 4-5- times a week and still get choked up. Thanks to all you Petersens for giving me at 75 years old the joy of hearing real music. Such a refreshing change from the "stuff" I hear today!
Kudo's to Katie for writing a very beautiful song.
Katie's vocal is mesmerizing! The song feels like a folk song from the 70's. Well done!
I am Man enough to admit, this song makes me cry.
My New Favorite group 🇺🇸🇮🇹
this song has made me a fan of katie petersen forever.
This song was both performed so beautifully and is also so sad, I cried two portions of tears 😭. ❤❤❤
The song California´s got beautiful text from the life. I wish you a lot of inspiration at the making of your songs. Good luck The Petersen´s.

God Bless You Dr Woodall, and Thank You for your sacrifice during this time at War with invisible enemies! 🙏🙏🙏
Alan Woodall thank you Dr Woodall. I’m a health care practitioner myself. Totally agree, needed something uplifting. This group is great. God bless you and protect you. I pray for us all. Thanks 🙏🏻🀄️☮️
@@ThePetersens is there any way I could get the chords to this song? Just to play on my own.
Why isn't this song a hit & being played on all the radio stations ? It the best song & performance I've heard in a long time ! Beautiful .
May be wrong Management or wrong place at wrong time. But its true, very, very beautiful. This music touch my soul.
@Irishwolf137 Anyway, i like that Sound. I wish more young people make music instead playin videogames.
@Irishwolf137 Dont feel that way. So my english isn't the best and can be you misunderstand me. 🤷♂️
@Irishwolf137 What Kind of Songs? Is there any stuff in the Internet?
この曲は、わたしの魂に触れる⁉️
タッチ マイ ソウル…。
Me Too🎵御霊が喜ぶ🎵

Man I love Katie's voice.
Don't hear Katie take the lead often enough. Beautiful!
I cannot get enough of the Emmett's sound! Love it! As always that harmony was so beautiful!
Since my last comment, Katie's song "California" has become one of my top ten favorite songs of all time. Such a heartfelt, beautiful song.
it is nice work even if born of pain
You guys took me throug the Covid lockdowns. Returning back. This is a beautiful song.
For me, the most impressive thing about this song and performance is the use of one word: "almost". Sometimes, true love is "almost" in our grasp...
This song is absolutely gorgeous. Katie sings this so beautifully and I just love the harmonies by Matt and Ellen. So nice to hear Emmett echoing the chorus on his dobro! Great instrumentation across the board.
Such an emotional performance, the harmonies and instrumental arrangement is awesome, Katie excels in her writing skills, what a blessed family....
My wife has Alzheimer’s and loves this song. I play the video multiple times a night for her. I wrote a poem that I read to her every night as well.
Memories fade slowly, no please don’t go, not yet,
I whisper to the twilight, to the echoes of our duet.
I am your one and only, and I’m not ready for you to forget,
The stories of our lifetime, the dreams we haven’t met.
I think it was late that summer, I saw a difference in your eyes,
A distant, cloudy shadow, where once the sunshine lies.
The laughter we had shared, the moments pure and wise,
Started slipping through the cracks, like whispers in the skies.
Memories fade slowly, no please don’t go, not yet,
I hold onto the fragments, with a heart full of regret.
I am your one and only, and I’m not ready for you to forget,
The love that binds us closer, in every sunrise and sunset.
The days blend into nights, the seasons swiftly flow,
Yet in the quiet moments, I see the you I know.
I think it was late that summer, when time began to slow,
And the life we built together, began to ebb and go.
Memories fade slowly, no please don’t go, not yet,
I’ll weave the threads of yesterday, in hopes we never fret.
I am your one and only, and I’m not ready for you to forget,
The vows we made in tenderness, that love can’t ever debt.
So here we stand in twilight, as stars begin to rise,
I think it was late that summer, I saw a difference in your eyes.
Yet in this endless journey, beneath the changing skies,
My heart will always whisper, our love never dies.
Beautiful! ❤
Really Awesome!
What a beautiful story of a lifetime of love!!
This song still breaks my heart every time I listen to it. So beautifully bittersweet, it strikes a personal chord for me from a very long time ago.
This song is incredible and should be a number one on country radio charts
Sound engineer deserves some sort of award! So warm and crisp.
Devastatingly Beautiful! Mastery in writing, singing and playing... the whole group... what music is all about. Ellen & Matt harmonies. Tasty fills by Juliann & Emmett... love the ending.

I'm speechless! This is just pure beauty. Ya'll are a ray of sunshine in the darkness of the current moment. God Bless.
Well said 👍
I'm just a simply french man and I'm telling you that you're six angels from heaven. I hope I could see you one day.
Her tone is hauntingly beautiful, and the three-part harmony my is stupendous!
This is one of the greatest songs ever composed!
😍
Katie this is one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard and beautifully written
what a great self composed song by Katie; emotional, almost heartbreaking.
Not almost it is heartbreaking.
almost 30 years in the music business and still I get surprised sometimes.....respect to you all for making true music on real instruments that most people of your age will never start playing. Thank you for keeping the soul of music alive...
So sad....and beautiful...by such talent.
In the world of popular music there are artists who are good composers and those who are good performers.

Can't get it out of my head, or my heart...thank u Katie...
What a song, sung so brilliantly!
It‘s got to be one of the finest songs ever written, and I hope it becomes an essential work of genius!
❤❤
I am fighting with my tears...one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard.
Very beautiful. Katie has such an awesome voice. Katie is also a talented songwriter. This song sounds like it was written from the heart about an experience that happened. God bless you all. I love listening to your family. So much talent. Thank you for sharing.
Even though I'm a hard rock fan, yours music invites me to dream. The Petersens family is musically world class!
Grew up on Zeppelin, Dio and Slayer. Somehow always find myself clicking on a petersen video.
Yes, a "harder" version would also sound good ;-)
Is that to say they put you to sleep? I too enjoy their music.

Yes, it is amazing that they aren't better known.
Me too. They are so good and real. Trully refreshing.
This beautiful song that Katie has created, just about touches everybody’s life experiences. This family is a breath of fresh air in a crowded room.
PLEASE sing this in Sydney! It will be autumn when you perform here, and 'California' is a perfect song for that wistful season, don't you think?
The siblings have strengths that are unique to one another; not one replaces the other. This original song Katie wrote demonstrates her inner beauty and talent that old men tear up about. It's near perfect for her and it's strange to be the old man grandpa I once couldn't understand. Keep it up Katie.
...Such a Beautiful song, sung by a Very Talented, and Beautiful band!!!...God Bless You All!!!...
Can't recall the last time a song has actually made me cry. So much for being a big bad Marine. So perfect. The sound. The visuals. [sigh]
In the immortal words of Charlene Darling, "that one makes me cry." One of my favorites, thanks for sharing!
Thank you dear Petersens. We listen to you a lot in Belgium. You are doing a remarkable job that brings sunshine to all families. And also to all those in the world for whom life is not easy.
The words, the arrangement, your voices, just beautiful. I agree with others. Why this isn't on the airwaves is a mystery.
This sounds like a classic hit that has been around for decades, and when you hear it on the radio you feel good about life. Superbly written/arranged, Katie!
I simply can't get enough of your musical styling. Each of you are amazing, give Mom some solos! She's so good!
This is such a beautiful song that Katie wrote.It would be so neat if it was on our radios one day !

This is one of the most beautiful songs that I have heard. Please keep writing, Katie.
This is such a beautiful and tender song. It's perfect. I started several comments only to delete them. This is such a beautiful song... written and performed by beautiful souls. There is nothing else left to say.
There's no doubt I'll be listening to The Petersens for years to come!
I’ve listened to this 50 times and I like it more every time I hear it. Thank you!
Wow until today I had never heard of this group. Now I can't stop listening. What beautiful music. No matter who sings they all do a great job
Music is a universal language for everyone. Thanks for talking to me, Petersens!
I just love that harmony. So wonderful. This has been a very rough year, but with God's help and the Petersen's beautiful music, I've made it through. Thank you for your witness and music.
Loved it. Could not help but sing along, yet got choked up. And as always, excellent dobro. Thanks again.

Just found the family my goodness what talent have missed 2 years of this but not from now on. Thank you for the music and Katie, a beautiful song.
Like the rest of us you’ll now be eagerly waiting for their latest song postings
@@tobystamps2920 ....and also the Saturday morning chat sessions, and the travelogues that Julianne does. Everything about them is a treat.

An absolute achingly beautiful song. Amazing voices. Amazing musicianship.
I think my favorite song of yours. God bless you all.
Those 'almost's' are Father God's greatest gifts. Sometimes unanswered prayers and exactly what we need.
Thank you Petersen's for sharing your gift with us.
Much love in Messiah,

Wow! First off, that's some incredible songwriting right there. If all you had done was create the lyrics and the music, it would have been a huge enough accomplishment... but on top of that, the performance of it! Oh my! Well done, Petersens... with the biggest congratulations to Katie for being an amazing songwriter with unlimited potential. The future is bright for this family.

Beautiful!
I don’t know how Katie gets through that song without weeping. So poignant. If that happened to me, I don’t think I could sing through it without becoming a mess. I presume it is healing for her. I sure hope so, it is beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.

A very dreamy song. I love the gentleness. 💛
Katie; you have the gift of ‚bending‘ the time in the melody. The only other singer that I have heard who achieves this is Eva Cassidy. It creates a timeless feeling, and it‘s so enchanting to listen to.
❤️❤😉
I really like your comments. Have you heard Katie's entire solo album yet? You can find it on digital platforms and on this YT channel. ruclips.net/video/XGXlLpiH3WI/видео.html
Thought I would click and see what this Petersens family is all about........5 hours later. Can't stop watching. Love this song!!!
Been there, done that. Time doesn't help. I keep coming back, time and time again. AND I LOVE IT EVERY TIME.
Same here. Just now. Cried hearing their song for the first time.
Yep, indeed...3 hours last night and 5 or so today... wow!
Made my heart tear up. You don’t just sing and play. You touch.
Of the thousands and thousands of love songs out there, California has to be in the top 100 maybe top 50 of best love songs ever written IMHO.
Katie what a beautiful voice. The music is so natural, all acoustic. I so much admire the entire band. Everyone’s voices and instruments are just a wonderful mix.
One of the most beautiful songs I ever heard, nice job Katie.
That's an example of an egregious comma splice.
Me too!
It's really a beautiful song Kat, there is so much love and melancholy, tears and sweet memories ... and your eyes are not as happy as ever, as if loves and memories were yours.
Be proud of yourself Kat, who gives love finds love ...
