What Are You Doing New Years Eve? - The Petersens (LIVE) @ThePetersens

The Petersens What a year!!! We are so thankful to each and every one of you for listening, commenting, subscribing, and sharing our music. You have brought us so much joy and we can't wait to do it all again next year. Happy New Year!

After a crazy few months we always take off January to rest our voices and recharge, and this time we are spending February in the studio and coming up with new songs, including more Katie originals. So y'all will notice our videos slow down, but we can't wait to be back!

►LYRICS - What Are You Doing New Year's Eve?
When the bells all ring and the horns all blow
And the couples we know are fondly kissing
Will I be with you or will I be among the missing?

Maybe it's much too early in the game
Oh, but I thought I'd ask you just the same
What are you doin' New Year's, New Year's Eve?

I'll wonder whose arms will hold you good 'n tight
When it's exactly 12 o'clock that night
Welcoming in the new year, New Year's Eve

Maybe I'm crazy to suppose
That I'd ever be the one that you chose
Out of a thousand invitations that you'll receive

Oh, but in case I stand one little chance
Here comes the jackpot question in advance
What are you doin' New Year's, New Year's Eve?

Oh, maybe I'm crazy to suppose
That I'd ever be the one that you chose
Out of a thousand invitations you'll receive

Oh, but in case I stand one little chance
Here comes the jackpot question in advance
What are you doin' New Year's?
What are you doin' New Year's? Ahhh
Would you mind spending New Year's Eve with me?

O Come, All Ye Faithful - The Petersens (LIVE)

The Petersens 2023-12-23 | We saved my favorite song from the album for last! Katie has been trying to mash "I Saw Three Ships" into a Christmas arrangement for several years and when we started working on "O Come, All Ye Faithful", we knew we had found a perfect match.

We were so excited that Silver Dollar City let us film this video on their property as Christmas is magical at the park. The park was closed when we were filming and you will enjoy the maintenance vans that accidentally drove behind us while recording haha. Never a dull moment when you are recording everything live!

Merry Christmas, friends :)

~Ellen

►LYRICS - O Come, All Ye Faithful
O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant
O come ye, o come ye to Bethlehem
Come and behold Him, born the King of Angels

O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
Christ the Lord

O sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation
O sing, all ye citizens of heaven above
Glory to God, all glory in the highest

O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
Christ the Lord

Yea, Lord, we greet Thee, born this happy morning
Jesus, to Thee be all glory giv'n
Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing

O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
Christ the Lord [x2]

►LYRICS - Jesus, King of Heaven
Jesus, Jesus, King of Heaven
You were born so long ago
In a manger with the oxen
In the land I do not know

I read how you healed the leper
How you calmed the raging sea
Tell me, Jesus, King of Heaven
What has that to do with me?

Far away across the ocean
On a hill of grief and woe
There the stormy clouds did gather
As you bled and suffered so

Was I there with John and Peter
When the empty tomb they found?
Was I there when Doubting Thomas
Touched your side and then bowed down?

My heart is warm within me
You were standing at the door
Now I know, King of Heaven
Who you planned salvation for

Jesus, Jesus, King of Heaven
What have I to do with Thee?
Loving friend and precious Savior
You mean everything to me [x2]

Kenny & Amanda Smith had this song for about six or seven years before they recorded it for their 2012 album, Catch Me If I Try. A girl, Tami Lee Pockstaller, had walked up to them at the IBMA festival (International Bluegrass Music Association) and handed them a CD of songs she had written. This song was number two on that demo, and it blew them away.

►LYRICS - Mary, Did You Know?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Would one day walk on water?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Would save our sons and daughters?

Did you know that your baby boy
Has come to make you new?
This child that you delivered
Will soon deliver you

Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Will give sight to a blind man?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Will calm the storms with his hands?

Did you know that your baby boy
Has walked where angels trod?
When you kiss your little baby
You kiss the face of God

The blind will see, the deaf will hear
The dead will live again
The lame will leap, the dumb will speak
The praises of the Lamb

Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Is Lord of all creation?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Would one day rule the nations?

Did you know that your baby boy
Is heaven's perfect Lamb?
That sleeping child you're holding
That sleeping child you're holding
That sleeping child you're holding
Is the great I Am

►LYRICS - We Don't Need Anything This Year
A winter morn, your hand in mine
The window panes are dressed in white
And the snow is falling on your ears
Darling, we don't need anything this year

I like tinsel on my tree
And you like popcorn, and you like me
We'll weave traditions, and you can hang the star
I'm happy just to be where you are

Here's a Christmas present, here's to Christmas past
And here's to all the first times and the last
Here's to all the joy we have and here's to all the tears
Darling, we don't need anything this year

Mom and dad's on Christmas Eve
And now it's us, hard to believe
I look around at all that we hold dear
Darling, we don't need anything this year

Here's a Christmas present, here's to Christmas past
And here's to all the first times and the last
Here's to all the joy we have and here's to all the tears
Darling, we don't need anything this year

Life is short and sweet, the years keep passing by
Sitting here with you, we've watched them fly
It only takes a blink and then before you know
It's time we learned how to let go

I hung your picture by the tree
Made some popcorn and tried to sing
Sometimes it feels like you're still here

Here's a Christmas present, here's to Christmas past
And here's to all the first times and the last
We'll cherish all the memories and cling to every tear
Darling, we don't need anything this year

Oh, but I'll sure be missing you this year

In My Room - The Petersens (LIVE)

The Petersens 2023-10-27 | One of our all-time favorite groups we listened to growing up was The Beach Boys! Matt pitched this song to the group and I believe several of you have requested it through the years as well :)

It looks like Mustache Matt may still be here a while haha.

Side note, watching this back I am very excited to not be pregnant anymore. I could barely get into the single mic to sing and play with how far my banjo was to the side hahaha. Macy Katherine Haygood arrived on October 12, 2023!

Enjoy!
~Ellen

►LYRICS - In My Room
There's a world where I can go
And tell my secrets to
In my room
In my room

In this world I lock out
All my worries and my fears
In my room
In my room (In my room)

Do my dreaming and my scheming
Lie awake and pray
Do my crying and my sighing
Laugh at yesterday

Now it's dark and I'm alone
But I won't be afraid
In my room
In my room (In my room)

Do my dreaming and my scheming
Lie awake and pray
Do my crying and my sighing
Laugh at yesterday

Now it's dark and I'm alone
But I won't be afraid
In my room

►LYRICS - Sherwood
Will you be my Robin Hood?
Rescue me from all these lies?
Be the stranger kind and good?
Look at me with those brown eyes?

Take me to Sherwood
'Cause I sure would wear your green hood

Well, I've been waiting oh so long
To see if you'll come take a stand
And fight for me when times get hard
Be the man I know you can

Take me to Sherwood
'Cause I sure would wear your green hood

Ready now, come on let's go
You swept me off my feet this time
We'll go and make the woods our home
And decorate with fireflies

Take me to Sherwood
'Cause I sure would wear your green hood [x3]

Shenandoah - The Petersens (LIVE)

The Petersens 2023-10-06 | We posted our version of "Shenandoah" six years ago on YouTube before Emmett was performing with us full-time. The family worked the song up again before traveling to Europe and we decided it was definitely time for a YouTube refresh.

We had to drive a UTV off-road vehicle to make it to the filming location and mom drew the short straw with Matt as the driver haha.

Enjoy!

►LYRICS - Shenandoah
Oh Shenandoah, I long to see you
Look away rollin' river
Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Look away, I'm bound away
Across the wide Missouri

The Missouri, she's a mighty river
Look away rollin' river
Indians camp along her borders
Look away, I'm bound away
Across the wide Missouri

Well, a white man, he loved an Indian maiden
Look away rollin' river
And with notions, his canoe was laden
Look away, I'm bound away
Across the wide Missouri

And he said, Shenandoah, I love your daughter
Look away rollin' river
And it was for her I crossed the waters
Look away, I'm bound away
Across the wide Missouri

Well, it's fair-thee-well*, I'm bound to leave you
Look away rollin' river
Oh Shenandoah, I'll not deceive you
Look away, I'm bound away
Across the wide Missouri

Oh Shenandoah, I long to see you
Look away rollin' river
Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Look away, I'm bound away
Across the wide Missouri

(Shenandoah, I long to see you) x3
Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you
(Shenandoah) x3
Oh Shenandoah

* Fair-thee-well = farewell

This song seems to have originated with fur traders who traveled the Missouri River in canoes. Like many traditional folk songs, there are different versions of the lyrics, but these ones refer to a trader falling in love with the daughter of the Oneida chief Shenandoah.

In the mid-1800s, the song made its way down the Mississippi River and became popular as a sea shanty on ships that traveled the world.

Our House - The Petersens (LIVE)

The Petersens 2023-09-22 | *** Be aware of scam accounts, especially on Instagram. None of us will private message you (please report any accounts impersonating us!) ***

We just reached 200 million views!! Thank you all for listening to our music, subscribing to our channel, and sharing the videos. Playing music together is still such a wild dream come true for us and we are so grateful.

Don't try and analyze the outro. It truly was spontaneous and there was no thought behind it haha. Just take it for what it is and maybe someday Katie will find what she is looking for....

I'll light the fire
You place the flowers in the vase
That you bought today

Staring at the fire
For hours and hours
While I listen to you
Play your love songs
All night long for me
Only for me

Come to me now
(Come to me now)
And rest your head for just five minutes
Everything is done

Such a cozy room
(Such a cozy room)
The windows are illuminated
By the evening sunshine through them
Fiery gems for you
Only for you

Our house is a very, very, very fine house
With two cats in the yard
Life used to be so hard
Now everything is easy 'cause of you
And our…

(La-la, la, la, la, la…)

►LYRICS - Silly Girls
Waiting a while, it's dark at the bus stop
Linking arms through strangers and streets
I won't demand your unanswered questions
All of your silence makes sense to me

I'll give you my coat, my cash and my chapstick*
I'll write you a note with nothing to say
Secrets we share, braiding your hair
Saying goodnight at the end of the day

I understand you'll make new plans
But for now, we have each other

When love comes to take your breath
I'll store mine in a jar
To give to you, grow pink with you
Together or apart

Making you tea with two creams and sugar
Hanging your drawings up on the fridge
Seeing your beauty and mine right beside it
Isn't it funny, I'm glad you exist

I understand you'll make new plans
But for now, we have each other

When love comes to take your breath
I'll store mine in a jar
To give to you, or grow pink with you
Together or apart

Kiss me, out of the bearded barley
Nightly beside the green, green grass
Swing, swing, swing your spinning step
You wear those shoes and I will wear that dress

Oh kiss me, beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand, strike up the band
And make the fireflies dance, silver moon sparkling
So kiss me

Kiss me, down by the broken tree house
Swing me upon its hanging tire
Bring, bring, bring your flowered hat
We'll take the trail marked on your father's map

Oh kiss me, beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand, strike up the band
And make the fireflies dance, silver moon sparkling
So kiss me

Kiss me, beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand, strike up the band
And make the fireflies dance, silver moon sparkling
So kiss me

So kiss me
(Out of the bearded barley) (Nightly)
So kiss me
(Down by the broken tree house) (Swing me)
So kiss me

Crazy - The Petersens (LIVE)

The Petersens 2023-06-30 | So many fun things happening! The amazing Patreon reunion this past weekend, finally getting the tour tickets available, and now a new YouTube video!

The first artist that ever had me fall in love with singing was Patsy Cline. I would take entire road trips and the only artist I would have blasting through my speakers and singing along with was Patsy. It's an honor to cover another one of her masterpieces!

"Crazy" was written by Willie Nelson, who turned 90 this year.

►LYRICS - Crazy
Crazy, I'm crazy for feelin' so lonely
I'm crazy, crazy for feeling so blue
I knew you'd love me as long as you wanted
And someday you'd leave me for somebody new

Worry, why do I let myself worry?
Wonderin' what in the world did I do?
Oh I'm crazy for thinkin' that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for tryin', crazy for cryin', crazy for lovin' you

I'm crazy, crazy for feeling so blue

And then someday you'd leave me for somebody new
Worry, why do I let myself worry?

Oh I'm crazy

Worry, why do I let myself worry?
Wonderin' what in the world did I do?
(Did I do?)
Oh I'm crazy for thinkin' that my love could hold you
(Could hold, could hold, my love)
I'm crazy for tryin', crazy for cryin', crazy for lovin' you
(For loving you)

I'm crazy for tryin', crazy for cryin'
And I'm crazy for lovin' you

How Firm A Foundation - The Petersens (LIVE)

The Petersens 2023-05-19 | Katie has loved listening to this song the past couple of years because of the rich message behind the lyrics. This is our last video we recorded without Julianne so we are so excited that all future YouTube videos will include our newest college graduate!

Hope the words and the melody bring you peace and joy like they have brought us.

~Ellen

►LYRICS - How Firm A Foundation
How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord
Is laid for your faith in His excellent Word
What more can He say than to you He hath said?
To you, who for refuge to Jesus have fled

Fear not, I am with you, oh be not dismayed
For I am your God, and will still give you aid
I'll strengthen you, help you, and cause you to stand
Upheld by my righteous omnipotent hand

When through the deep waters I call you to go
The rivers of sorrow will not overflow
For I will be with you, your troubles to bless
And sanctify to you your deepest distress

When through fiery trials your pathway will lie
My grace all-sufficient will be your supply
The flame will not hurt you, I only design
Your dross to consume, and your gold to refine

That soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose
I will not, I will not desert to its foes
That soul, though all Hell should endeavor to shake
Well, I'll never - no never - no never forsake

That soul, though all Hell should endeavor to shake
I'll never - no never - no never forsake

►LYRICS - Yodel Blues
Oh, yodelay yodelay got the blues
Yodelay yodelay just for you
Yodelay yodelay and the sweetest still home I ever knew
Oh, yodelay yodelay gotta go
Yodelay yodelay don't you know
Yodelay yodelay and I'll sing the yodelay blues

Way up in New York City they got a different style
So busy making money they ain't got time to smile
It was so doggone crowded, I felt so hemmed in there
I came back home to Texas to get a breath of air

Oh, yodelay yodelay got the blues
Yodelay yodelay just for you
Yodelay yodelay and the sweetest still home I ever knew
Oh, yodelay yodelay gotta go
Yodelay yodelay don't you know
Yodelay yodelay and I'll sing the yodelay blues

Down in the valley
(Oh, yodelay yodelay got the blues
Yodelay yodelay just for you)

You'll hear me when the lights are low
(Yodelay yodelay and the sweetest still home I ever knew)

Down in the valley
(Oh, yodelay yodelay gotta go
Yodelay yodelay don't you know

You'll hear my yodelay blues
(Yodelay yodelay and I'll sing the yodelay blues)

We're so lonesome, we don't know what to do
I guess we're sentimental, feeling the way we do

Oh, yodelay yodelay gotta go
Yodelay yodelay don't you know
Yodelay yodelay and we'll sing the yodelay blues

►LYRICS - Forever and Ever, Amen
You may think that I'm talkin' foolish
You've heard that I'm wild and I'm free
You may wonder how, but I can promise you now
This love that I feel for you always will be

But you're not just time that I'm killin'
I'm no longer one of those guys
As sure as I live, this love that I give
Is gonna be yours until the day that I die

Oh baby, I'm gonna love you forever
Forever and ever, amen
As long as old men sit an' talk about the weather
As long as old women sit an' talk about old men

If you wonder how long I'll be faithful
I'll be happy to tell you again
I'm gonna love you forever and ever
Forever and ever, amen

They say time takes its toll on a body
Makes them young girls' brown hair turn gray
Well honey, I don't care, I ain't in love with your hair
And if it all fell out, well, I'd love you anyway

They say time can play tricks on a memory
Make people forget things they knew
Well, that's easy to see, it's happenin' to me
I've already forgotten every woman but you

Oh darlin', I'm gonna love you forever
Forever and ever, amen
As long as old men sit an' talk about the weather
As long as old women sit an' talk about old men

If you wonder how long I'll be faithful
Now, just listen to how this song ends
I'm gonna love you forever and ever
Forever and ever, amen

I'm gonna love you forever and ever
Forever and ever, forever and ever
Forever and ever, amen

Silver Bells - The Petersens (LIVE)

The Petersens 2022-12-23 | Our last new video of the season features Emmett singing "Silver Bells." He arranged it and brought it to our group this summer, and we had a lot of fun learning it to add to the show.

And don't worry, Katie was full of gratitude and nailed the final take! In fact, she said that Aaron helped make her hair even better than it already was, thus making Christmas super great. Rumor has it, Aaron later admitted there never was a fly in her hair :)

►LYRICS - Silver Bells
City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air there's a feeling of Christmas
Children laughing, people passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you hear

Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas Day

Strings of streetlights, even stop lights
Blink with bright red and green
As the shoppers rush home with their treasures
Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch
This is Santa's big scene
And above all this bustle you hear

Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas Day [x3]

Soon it will be Christmas Day [x2]

►Lyrics:

Frosty the Snowman
Was a jolly happy soul
With a corncob pipe and a button nose
And two eyes made out of coal
Frosty the Snowman
Is a fairytale they say
He was made of snow, but the children know
How he came to life one day

There must have been some magic
In that old silk hat they found
For when they placed it on his head
He began to dance around
Oh, Frosty the Snowman
Was alive as he could be
And the children say, he could laugh and play
Just the same as you and me

Frosty the Snowman
Knew the sun was hot that day
So he said let's run, and we'll have some fun
Now before I melt away
Down to the village
With a broomstick in his hand
Running here and there, all around the square
Sayin' catch me if you can

He led them down the streets of town
Right to the traffic cop
And he only paused a moment
When he heard him holler stop
For Frosty the Snowman
Had to hurry on his way
Then he waved goodbye, sayin' don't you cry
I'll be back again some day

He led them down the streets of town
Right to the traffic cop
And he only paused a moment
When he heard him holler stop
For Frosty the Snowman
Had to hurry on his way
But he waved goodbye, sayin' don't you cry
I'll be back again someday

Oh Holy Night - The Petersens (LIVE)

The Petersens 2022-12-09 | We are kicking off this year's mini round of Christmas videos with "Oh Holy Night." Our Patreon community requested this song and we are so glad they did, it's now one of our favorites. Special shout out to Emmett for the musical arrangement!

We filmed our Christmas videos in July while Julianne was still with us and it made our hearts happy to hear her voice and sweet mandolin picking again. She is now back at college, finishing her final year.

►LYRICS - Oh Holy Night
Oh Holy Night, the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth
A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn

Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angel voices
Oh night divine
Oh night when Christ was born

Truly He taught us to love one another
His law is love and His gospel is peace
Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother
And in His name all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we
Let all within us praise His holy name

Christ is the Lord
Oh praise His name forever
His power and glory
Evermore proclaim
His power and glory
Evermore proclaim

Walls of Time - The Petersens (LIVE)

The Petersens 2022-11-25 | Plot twist... The Petersens covered two bluegrass songs in a row! Emmett sounds so great on "Walls of Time" and it was a fun one to throw in the shows before we switched to Christmas. Julianne was overseas as part of her last year of college, when we filmed this video.

You can't get much more bluegrass than this, a song by the father of bluegrass, Bill Monroe, who created the genre. One night in the 1960s, Bill and his band were aboard their old bus "The Bluegrass Breakdown," when it lived up to its name somewhere in the middle of Kentucky. Watching the sun rise over the mountains and inspired by what he called the ancient tones (the whispering in nature), Bill and his young bandmate Peter Rowan came up with this song. Enjoy!

►LYRICS - Walls of Time
The wind is blowing across the mountains
And out on the valley way below
It sweeps the grave of my darlin'
When I die that's where I want to go

Lord, send the angels for my darlin'
And take her to that home on high
I'll wait my time out here on earth, love
And come to you when I die

I hear a voice out in the darkness
It moans an' whispers through the pines
An' I know it's my sweetheart a-callin'
I hear her through the walls of time

Lord, send the angels for my darlin'
And take her to that home on high
I'll wait my time out here on earth, love
And come to you when I die

Our names are carved upon the tombstone
And I promised you before you died
That our love will bloom forever, darlin'
When we rest side by side

Lord, send the angels for my darlin'
And take her to that home on high
I'll wait my time out here on earth, love
And come to you when I die
And come to you when I die

Julianne, Come On Home - The Petersens (LIVE)

The Petersens 2022-11-21 | The real miracle of this song is that we did a single microphone and didn't injure each other! But seriously, how wild is it that one microphone captured all of that sound? Troy is a genius and I had to work hard at not blasting all the other instruments away with the banjo being so close haha.

One of the greatest moments of our Patreon reunion in October was filming the outro to this song :)

The song's actual title is "Julie Ann, Come on Home," but we couldn't resist changing the spelling to our favorite Julianne and filming it while she was doing a semester at Oxford University in England.

►LYRICS - Julianne, Come On Home
Julianne, what are you doing
Makin' plans on leaving me?
Have I made your life unhappy?
Is this how it's got to be?
Will you be here in the morning
When the rooster starts to crow?
Will my tears be uncalled for?
Julianne, I've got to know

Dress yourself in silk an' satin
Put some ribbons in your hair
But don't say you're gonna leave me
It's more than I can bear
Go and have your night of dancin'
If you like those country songs
But when all the fun is over
Julianne, come on home

Julianne, you know I love you
I can't live my life alone
Is there some way I can please you?
Tell me what could keep you home
I've got no gold an' silver
Got no diamonds for your hand
All I have is this love to give you
Oh I need you, Julianne

Dress yourself in silk an' satin
Put some ribbons in your hair
But don't say you're gonna leave me
It's more than I can bear
Go and have your night of dancin'
If you like those country songs
But when all the fun is over
Julianne, come on home [x2]

Wayfaring Stranger - The Petersens (LIVE) - Album Version

The Petersens 2022-11-18 | We had already recorded a different version of this song on YouTube, but for our album I wanted the song to sound sparse and reflective. I described what I wanted and in less than 24 hours, Emmett came up with this twisted version thus earning it the title "Wayfaring Stranger Gets Stranger" from mom on our chord charts. We ran through it during our last rehearsal before we drove to the studio in Nashville. When it was finally time to record "Wayfaring Stranger," I was skeptical since we had only three studio hours left and two more songs to record, but Troy, Dewey, and the band all worked together and completed this version of the song and I love it.

►My Ozark Mountain Home, the album:

We are so excited to release our new album! Our family grew up singing and playing around the campfire. It's truly some of our most cherished memories, and we hope you enjoy singing these songs with your family and friends just as much as we did.

We recorded the album at Forty-One Fifteen Studio in Nashville alongside Dewey Boyd as sound engineer, and our very own Troy Dixon who helped produce, mix and master.

►Lyrics:

I am a poor wayfaring stranger
Traveling through this world of woe
And there's no sickness, toil nor danger
In that bright land to which I go

I know dark clouds will gather around me
I know my way is rough and steep
And beauteous fields lie just before me
In Christ's redeemed, their vigils keep

I'm going there to see my father
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm just a-going over Jordan
I'm just a-going over home

I want to wear that crown of glory
When I get home to that bright land
I want to shout salvation's story
In concert with the blood-washed band

I'm going there to see my mother
She said she'd meet me when I go
I'm just a-going over Jordan
I'm just a-going over home

I'll soon be free from every trial
This form will rest beneath the sod
I'll drop the cross of self-denial
And enter in my home with God

I'm going there to see my Savior
Who shed for me His precious blood

We also want to give a shout out to the two guys who make our videos possible, Aaron Clark and Troy Dixon!

Aaron is one of the most talented photographers in the Ozarks and we are so grateful to have him film our songs. He's a blast and knows allll the best spots! We usually do three takes of a song and pick the one we are happy with.

Troy is the master when it comes to then taking the outdoor audio track and turning it into a studio-quality mix that Aaron can add to the video. Better than that though, he is a great man and friend! Troy also helped produce our upcoming album.

►LYRICS - Make You Feel My Love
When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love

When evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one there to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love

I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I would never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong

I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawlin' down the avenue
Nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love

The storms are raging on the rollin' sea
And on the highway of regret
The winds of change are blowin' wild and free
You ain't seen nothing like me yet

I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I would never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong

I could make you happy, make your dreams come true
Nothing that I wouldn't do
I'd go to the ends of the earth for you
To make you feel my love
To make you feel my love

Desperado - The Petersens (LIVE)

The Petersens 2022-10-21 | We need to invest in some better life insurance for Katie after watching that outro again.... But seriously, we love the Eagles and this was such a fun song to cover!

People often ask how we choose who sings lead on what songs. Normally, it is pretty obvious to us based on the style and who brought the song to the group who should sing lead, but this one was more of a fun process.

Ellen brought "Desperado" to the group with a pretty straightforward arrangement in October of 2021. We got caught up with Christmas music and shows and it went to the back burner until this summer. Ellen already had a few songs in the works so Emmett suggested Katie sing lead, and the arrangement Katie came up with is just stunning.

►LYRICS - Desperado
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
You've been out ridin' fences for so long now
Well, you're a hard one
I know that you've got your reasons
These things that are pleasin' you
Can hurt you somehow

Don't you draw the Queen of Diamonds, boy
She'll beat you if she's able
You know the Queen of Hearts is always your best bet
Now, it seems to me some fine things
Have been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones that you can't get

Desperado, no, no you ain't gettin' no younger
Your pain and your hunger
Well, they're drivin' you home
And freedom, oh freedom
Well, that's just some people talkin'
Your prison is walking through this world all alone

Don't your feet get cold in the wintertime?
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell the nighttime from the day
You're losin' all your highs and lows
Ain't it funny how the feelin' goes away?

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
Why don't you come to your senses? (Desperado)
Why don't you come to your senses? (Desperado)
Why don't you come to your senses?
Come down from your fences now and open the gate
It may be rainin' but there's a rainbow above you

You'd better let somebody love you
(Let somebody love you)
You'd better let somebody love you
(Why don't you let somebody love you?)
You'd better let somebody love you
Before it's too late
It's too late
It's too late

The Crawdad Song - The Petersens (LIVE)

The Petersens 2022-10-14 | We grew up watching the Andy Griffith Show and when we were coming up with songs for the new album, we knew we had to choose one from Andy's front porch. Hope you enjoy this Americana classic, "The Crawdad Song"!

Fun fact, we use this song as a change of pace in the middle of our 90-minute Branson show and it replaced our original, The Ring Song youtu.be/QKAQAxiEvy0, that we played for many years.

You get a line and I'll get a pole, honey
You get a line and I'll get a pole, babe
You get a line and I'll get a pole
We'll go fishin' in the crawdad hole*
Honey, baby mine

Sell your crawdads three for a dime, honey
Sell your crawdads three for a dime, babe
Sell your crawdads three for a dime
Your crawdads ain't good as mine
Honey, baby mine

Hurry up, you slept too late, honey
Hurry up, you slept too late, babe
Hurry up babe, you slept too late
Crawdad man done passed your gate
Honey, baby mine

What are ya gonna do when the lake goes dry, honey?
What are ya gonna do when the lake goes dry, babe?
What are ya gonna do when the lake goes dry
Sit on the bank, watch crawdads die?
Honey, babe of mine

I heard the duck say to the drake*, honey
I heard the duck say to the drake, babe
I heard the duck say to the drake
There ain't no crawdads in this lake
Honey, babe of mine

So you get a line and I'll get a pole, honey
You get a line and I'll get a pole, babe
You get a line and I'll get a pole
We'll go fishin' in the crawdad hole, honey
Baby honey, baby honey

Amazing Grace - The Petersens (LIVE)

The Petersens 2022-07-29 | "Amazing Grace" is my favorite new song we are doing. Just singing the words is a beautiful reminder each and every show of the grace we have received and the promise we have to look forward to.

Thank you to everyone who sent in recordings of the final verse!!! We are so excited to feature hundreds of you on the album version of this song, I can't listen to it without tearing up. Don't forget to listen to the Dolby Atmos mixes on Apple Music, Amazon Music, or Tidal if you have the audio set up. It truly is the ultimate experience and you will feel like you are in the recording studio right there with us :)

►LYRICS - Amazing Grace
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now am found
Was blind but now I see

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed

Through many dangers, toils, and snares
I have already come
'Twas grace that brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home

When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we first begun

We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we first begun

The Petersens 2022-07-22 | Emmett and Katie came up with such a beautiful arrangement of "Down to the River to Pray," a traditional gospel song that Alison Krauss famously recorded for the 2000 movie "O Brother, Where Art Thou?". The fun interlude at 1:45 was Katie's idea.

We try to match our songs to locations and it can take a little while for the song, venue, and lead singer to all come together at the same time! Sometimes we also have to wait for the leaves to return to the Ozarks, the heavy rains to stop, or Julianne to come back from college.

►LYRICS - Down to the River to Pray
As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good ol' way
And who shall wear the starry crown
Good Lord, show me the way

O brothers, let's go down
Let's go down, come on down
O brothers, let's go down
Down in the river to pray

As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good ol' way
And who shall wear the robe and crown
Good Lord, show me the way

O sisters, let's go down
Let's go down, come on down
O sisters, let's go down
Down in the river to pray

As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good ol' way
And who shall wear the starry crown
Good Lord, show me the way

O mothers, let's go down
Let's go down, come on down
O mothers, let's go down
Down in the river to pray

Let's go down, let's go down [x4]

As we went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good ol' way
And who shall wear the robe and crown
Good Lord, show us the way

O sinners, let's go down
Let's go down, come on down
O sinners, let's go down
Down in the river to pray

O brothers, let's go down
Come on down, don't you wanna go down?
Come on brothers, let's go down
Down in the river to pray

Down in the river to pray [x2]

Summer Wind - The Petersens (LIVE)

The Petersens 2022-07-08 | Emmett leads an old Frank Sinatra song with not one but TWO key changes. Our brains definitely got an exercise learning "Summer Wind"! Also, how about the bird that "went flying by"? We had no idea until we watched the finished video. So cool.

We often get asked where we buy our dresses and, goodness, we have found them in so many random places at this point, there is not even a main spot anymore. Modest yet flattering dresses have been difficult to come by!

►LYRICS - Summer Wind
The summer wind
Came blowin' in from across the sea
It lingered there
To touch your hair and walk with me

All summer long we sang a song
As we strolled the golden sand
Two sweethearts
And the summer wind

Like painted kites
Those days and nights, they went flying by
The world was new
Beneath a blue umbrella sky

Then softer than a piper man
One day it called to you
I lost you to
The summer wind

Well, the autumn wind and the winter wind
They have come an' gone
And still the days, those lonely days
They go on an' on

But guess who sighs his lullabies
Through nights that never end?
My fickle friend
The summer wind

Well, the autumn wind and the winter wind
They have come an' gone
But still them days, those lonely days
They go on an' on

But guess who sighs his lullabies
Through nights that never end?
My fickle friend
The summer wind

Ooh, that summer wind

Fun fact: This is actually a 1965 German song, "Der Sommerwind," that was rewritten into English, and recorded the following year by Frank Sinatra.

Wild Mountain Thyme - The Petersens (LIVE)

The Petersens 2022-07-01 | "Wild Mountain Thyme" was our favorite song we learned while touring Ireland. It has Scottish origins and there are many different versions out there, but we consulted Pat Kelleher, a friend we met on our first tour, and had him send us his arrangement. Hope you all enjoy it!

►LYRICS - Wild Mountain Thyme
O, the summertime is comin'
And the trees are sweetly bloomin'
And the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the bloomin' heather
Will you go, lassie, go?

And we'll all go together
To pluck wild mountain thyme
All around the bloomin' heather
Will you go, lassie, go?

I will build my love a bower
Near yon pure crystal fountain
And on it I will place
All the flowers of the mountain
Will you go, lassie, go?

And we'll all go together
To pluck wild mountain thyme
All around the bloomin' heather
Will you go, lassie, go?

If my true love, she were gone*
I would surely find another
Where the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the bloomin' heather
Will you go, lassie, go?

And we'll all go together
To pluck wild mountain thyme
All around the bloomin' heather
Will you go, lassie, go?

Will you go, lassie, go?
Will you go, lassie, will you go?

If you are not familiar with the Scottish landscape:
Thyme - a herb
Heather - a plant that carpets the ground instagram.com/p/CT1yK3VqsBa
Lassie - a young woman
Bower - a leafy shelter like the one behind Emmett at 1:46

* Fun fact: Traditional Irish musician Francis McPeake came across this folk song on his travels of Scotland, and he rewrote and brought it to Ireland in the 1950s. He dedicated the song to his wife, and his son later added an extra verse to celebrate his father's second marriage.

Amazing Grace is one of the songs we chose and we really wanted a choir singing behind us on the last verse of the album recording.

(The deadline has now passed, so unfortunately we can't accept any more recordings)

My Ozark Mountain Home - The Petersens (LIVE) - A Katie Original

The Petersens 2022-06-03 | We have traveled all around the United States with our dad serving in the Air Force and then touring with our music. There are so many beautiful parts of the county, but there truly is nothing like "My Ozark Mountain Home."

►LYRICS - My Ozark Mountain Home
Well, the Colorado aspens
Are blowin' in the wind
And the California redwoods
Grow so high they never bend
And when the sun sets over Kansas
It may never ever end
But as I watch the sun go down
My heart longs to hear once again

How the whippoorwill is callin' me
To the place I long to go
Where the hills roll through the valleys
Down into the Buffalo
Slow and steady are the voices
That I hear whene'er I roam
They remind me of where I come from
My Ozark mountain home

From the dogwoods in the springtime
To the whitetail in the fall
The neighbors on the front porch
Just in case I come to call
Well, mom and dad live down the dirt road
Oh I've missed them most of all
I think it's time to quit my wanderin'
And go back, back where I belong

Where the whippoorwill is callin' me
To the place I long to go
Where the hills roll through the valleys
Down into the Buffalo
Slow and steady are the voices
That I hear whene'er I roam
They remind me of where I come from
My Ozark mountain home

Oh my mind, it wanders back
To runnin' barefoot in the yard
And grandma yellin'
"It's dinner time, come on"
Hands joined around the table
Giving thanks with grateful hearts
Then we'd fall asleep
While crickets sing their song

Hummin' right along...
Hmmmmmmm

Oh the whippoorwill is callin' me
To the place I long to go
Where the hills roll through the valleys
Down into the Buffalo
Slow and steady are the voices
That I hear whene'er I roam
They remind me of where I come from

They remind me of where I come from
Down the holler, where my heart will always run
To my Ozark mountain home

Annies Song - The Petersens (LIVE)

The Petersens 2022-05-27 | We asked our Patreon community what song they wanted us to learn next and they voted for "Annie's Song"! Katie did such a lovely job with the arrangement, and singing this song brings back so many memories of growing up camping and playing music around a campfire.

Hope you enjoy our rendition of this John Denver classic!

You fill up my senses
Like a night in the forest
Like the mountains in springtime
Like a walk in the rain
Like a storm in the desert
Like a sleepy blue ocean
You fill up my senses
Come fill me again

Come let me love you
Let me give my life to you
Let me drown in your laughter
Let me die in your arms
Let me lay down beside you
Let me always be with you
Oh come let me love you
Come love me again

You fill up my senses
Like a night in the forest
Like the mountains in springtime
Like a walk in the rain
Like a storm in the desert
Like a sleepy blue ocean
You fill up my senses
Come fill me again

(La, la-la, la, laaa, laaa....)

Let me lay down beside you
Let me always be with you
Oh come let me love you
Come love me again
Oh come let me love you
Come love me again

►LYRICS - It Rains Everywhere I Go
It rains everywhere I go
The storms appear and the winds, they blow
I've got nothin' but trouble to show
'Cause it rains everywhere I go

The sun used to always shine
Love was here when you were mine
The weather always looked so fine
Now it rains everywhere I go

It rains everywhere I go
The storms appear and the winds, they blow
I've got nothin' but trouble to show
'Cause it rains everywhere I go

I thought I had the perfect love
Blue skies and stars above
That's the way it is when you're in love
Now it rains everywhere I go

It rains everywhere I go
The storms appear and the winds, they blow
I've got nothin' but trouble to show
'Cause it rains everywhere I go

They say the sun will shine again
Well, I'll believe it but I don't know when
Guess I'll stay inside till then
'Cause it rains everywhere I go

It rains everywhere I go
The storms appear and the winds, they blow
I've got nothin' but trouble to show
'Cause it rains everywhere I go [x2]

I've got nothin' but trouble to show
'Cause it rains everywhere I go

Till the Rivers All Run Dry - The Petersens (LIVE)

The Petersens 2022-05-13 | One of our favorite love songs! Our grandpa had a cassette mixed tape in his old red pickup truck and Don Williams' "Till the Rivers All Run Dry" was one of the songs we heard a lot in the rotation. It's a stunning melody and the harmonies from Katie and Matt make it a joy to sing.

With Julianne being a full-time college student, we are just thrilled she has the time to come home and learn the mandolin part! Hopefully this summer she will have more time to step back in on vocals :)

►LYRICS - Till the Rivers All Run Dry
Till the rivers all run dry
Till the sun falls from the sky
Till life on earth is through
I'll be needing you

I know sometimes you may wonder
From little things you say and do
But there's no need for you to wonder
If I need you, 'cause I need you

Till the rivers all run dry
Till the sun falls from the sky
Till life on earth is through
I'll be needing you

Too many times I don't tell you
Too many things get in the way
And even though sometimes I hurt you
Still you show me, in every way

Till the rivers all run dry
Till the sun falls from the sky
Till life on earth is through
I'll be needing you

Till life on earth is through
I'll be needing you

►LYRICS - Cloudy Days
Dark clouds hangin' over me
When will they go away?
Rain is in my eyes an' I can't see
Life's become just cloudy days

Why she's done me like she's done
I guess I'll never know
She knows I need her more than anyone
I've made a point to let it show

Cloudy days, don't the sun ever shine anymore?
Stormy weather, will you always be around?
When I'm down I can't stand cloudy days

I recall the time when times were good
Oh, they seem so long ago
But you know they say, if rain won't come
Then love has no chance to grow

Cloudy days, don't the sun ever shine anymore?
Stormy weather, will you always be around?
When I'm down I can't stand cloudy days

Cloudy days, don't the sun ever shine, ever shine anymore?
Stormy weather, will you always be around?
When I'm down I can't stand cloudy days

Don't the sun ever shine anymore?
Stormy weather, will you always be around?
When I'm down I can't stand cloudy days

Fun fact: Billy Ray Reynolds, a guitarist in Waylon Jennings' band, wrote this song before he went on to have a 30+ year songwriting career. His songs have been cut by Johnny Cash, Tanya Tucker, John Hartford, and many more.

In You Came - The Petersens (LIVE)

The Petersens 2022-01-20 | We couldn't think of a better way to start off the year than to share a video with the man who started it all, Jon Petersen. Dad had the idea to become a family bluegrass band, bought us all our instruments, and signed us up to perform wayyyyy before we were ever ready haha. He and mom would sing us to sleep as little kids and "In You Came" was heard most nights in the Petersen household. Hope you all are blessed by it!

For everyone asking about Papa P's guitar, it is a 12-string (reverse-strung) Taylor 652ce, which he is fingerpicking, so plucking rather than strumming. The strings are in pairs, each an octave apart, and it takes some skill to play both at once but it gives such a beautiful sound.

►LYRICS - In You Came
It's been a long, yes, a long long time
Since I've seen a rainbow, smelled an apple pie
Played with the clouds passing by
Remembering those, those happy days
Splashing in the puddles after the rain
Will I ever see them again?

But in You came with Your arms open wide
Bringing back the rainbow after the rain
Bringing back the sunshine once again
I've often wondered why You want me
With all of my problems, child fantasies
All that I've done, who I am

And now and then I will cry
Knowing how I've hurt You time and time again
Really wouldn't blame You if You leave
But still You're there with Your arms open wide
Asking nothing of me, just of myself
You put the past behind me and then in You came

And I know now why You stay
Walking there beside me through thick and thin
Always there to guide me on my way
You're always there with Your arms open wide
Always there to turn to when times are sad
Giving me a smile to make me glad in You came

A Christmas Message from The Petersens

The Petersens 2021-12-24 | It's easy to get caught up in the holiday parties, movies, crazy family, and gifts, but Christmas is so much more than that. It's the celebration of our God choosing to come down and be with us. Julianne is reading a section from the Bible in Luke chapter 2.

Emmett arranged his version of "Mary, Did You Know?" on the dobro and it is one of the most beautiful things we have ever heard. Hope this video blesses you!

Merry Christmas,

~Karen, Katie, Emmett, Matt, Ellen, and Julianne

-----------------------

Luke 2:1-20 (ESV) In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. This was the first registration when Quirinius was governor of Syria. And all went to be registered, each to his own town. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the town of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, to be registered with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child. And while they were there, the time came for her to give birth. And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.

And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with great fear. And the angel said to them, "Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger." And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,

"Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!"

When the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let us go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us." And they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in a manger. And when they saw it, they made known the saying that had been told to them concerning this child. And all who heard it wondered at what the shepherds told them. But Mary treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them.

I met a man who lived in Tennessee
An' he was headed for Pennsylvania
And some homemade pumpkin pie
From Pennsylvania, folks are traveling
Down to Dixie's* sunny shore
From Atlantic to Pacific
Gee, the traffic is terrific^

Oh, there's no place like home for the holidays
'Cause no matter how far away you roam
If you want to be happy in a million ways
For the holidays, you can't beat home, sweet home [x2]

For the holidays, you can't beat home, sweet home
Oh, there's no place like home for the holidays

* Nickname for the southern states
^ Sarcasm, it's bad traffic

Venue: The Worman House Bistro at Big Cedar Lodge bigcedar.com
In the late 1980s a horseman came across a remote Ozark Mountains woodshop and, out of curiosity, went inside. The horseman was Johnny Morris, who at the time was planning to buy a defunct 10,000 acre nature retreat. And since that day, the two craftsmen inside - a father and son duo - have created hundreds of one-of-a-kind pieces for Big Cedar, from tables and chairs to headboards and mantels like the one in this video.

►LYRICS - The Man with the Bag
Everybody's waitin' for the man with the bag
Christmas is comin' again

Old Mr. Kringle is soon gonna jingle
The bells that'll tingle all your troubles away
Everybody's waitin' for the man with the bag
Christmas is comin' again

Oh, when he's got a sleighful it's not gonna stay full
He's got stuff to drop at every stop of the way
Everybody's waitin' for the man with the bag
Christmas is comin' again

An' he'll be here with the answers to the prayers
That you've made through the years
You'll get yours if you've done everything you should
Extra special good

He'll make this December the one you'll remember
The best and the merriest you ever did have
Everybody's waitin' for the man with the bag
Christmas is comin' again

He'll be here with the answers to the prayers
That you've made through the years
You'll get yours if you've done everything you should
Extra special good

He'll make this December the one you'll remember
The best and the merriest you ever did have
Everybody's waitin' for the man with the bag
Christmas is comin' again

Yes and everybody's waitin', they're all congregatin'
Waitin' for the man with the bag
Better watch out now

Come Thou Long Expected Jesus - The Petersens (LIVE)

The Petersens 2021-12-17 | We put "Come Thou Long Expected Jesus" on our YouTube channel a couple years ago as part of a medley with "O Come O Come Emmanuel," and then redid it to a complete version for our album. Katie wrote the words to the last verse and what a great message it has:

"Hallelujah, God is with us. Grace and truth and life He brings. Light of the world, our promised Messiah. Jesus Christ, the newborn King."

►LYRICS - Come Thou Long Expected Jesus
Come, Thou long-expected Jesus
Born to set Thy people free
From our fears and sins release us
Let us find our rest in Thee

Israel's strength and consolation
Hope of all the earth Thou art
Dear desire of every nation
Joy of every longing heart

Born Thy people to deliver
Born a child and yet a King
Born to reign in us forever
Now Thy gracious kingdom bring

By Thine own eternal spirit
Rule in all our hearts alone
By Thine all-sufficient merit
Raise us to Thy glorious throne

O come, let us adore him [x3]

Come, Thou long-expected Jesus
Born to set Thy people free
From our fears and sins release us
Let us find our rest in Thee

Alleluia, God is with us
Grace and truth and life He brings
Light of the world, our promised Messiah
Jesus Christ, the newborn King
