Gentle On My Mind - The Petersens

"Gentle on my Mind" was written by John Hartford and performed by Glen Campbell. We recorded this song in the studio and videoed it in at the Homestead at Rosewood in Branson, Missouri. This was the last video before we worked out how to record audio and video together on location!

►LYRICS - Gentle On My Mind
It's knowin' that your door is always open
And your path is free to walk
That makes me tend to leave my sleepin' bag
Rolled up and stashed behind your couch
And it's knowin' I'm not shackled by forgotten words and bonds
And the ink stains that have dried upon some line
That keeps you on the back roads
By the rivers of my memory
And keeps you ever gentle on my mind
It's not clingin' to the rocks
And ivy planted on their columns now that bind me
Or somethin' that somebody said
Because they thought we fit together walkin'
It’s just knowin' that the world will not be cursin' or forgivin'
When I walk along some railroad track and find
That you're movin' on the back roads
By the rivers of my memory
And for hours you're just gentle on my mind
Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines
And the junkyards and the highways flow between us
And some other woman's cryin' to her mother
'Cause she turned and you were gone
I still might run in silence, tears of joy might stain my face
And the summer sun might burn me till I'm blind
But not to where I cannot see you
Walkin' on the back roads
By the rivers flowin' gentle on my mind
You dip your cup of soup back
From a gurglin' cracklin' cauldron in some train yard
Your beard a rustlin' coal pile
And a dirty hat pulled low across your face
Through cupped hands 'round a tin can
I pretend to hold you to myself and find
That you're waitin' from the back roads
By the rivers of my memory
Ever smilin', ever gentle on my mind

Thanks, hun.

[@RajaBoppana]

To the Petersens, I understand your desire to sing it from a woman's perspective. But can you go through the lyrics again, I find discontinuation as you replace I with you, especially, when "some other woman's cryin' to her mother 'Cause she turned and you were gone" From the beginning, it is a woman who is singing and the man is stable in one place. "You dip your cup of soup back " again here until now, the woman is the one leaving the man, suddenly the man is the one travelling

[@glennericksenmusic]

I'm a Brit but I had the pleasure of riding route 66 on a Harley a few years back. All I can say to you yanks is ignore the flak you get from us europeans - yes none of our countries are perfect but this rendition of the song just takes me back to that middle america where you have the most beautiful countryside and people and should be rightly proud.

[@sh4nds1]

Just to add I'm from the Cotswolds in England - the most quintessential view you all have of us but Missouri is an equal in landscape - not history though but I fell in love with it all the same - this song just transports me there - great job.

Love all their voices. With all due respect, Julianne is special. I'm sure they've heard this before. Love the way they let each person shine. Each person owns their instrument....very special family+1 (dobra).

[@mattatkins5207]

So glad I discovered y’all on KZbin a month ago. Some of the most beautiful music out there

[@ThePetersens]

Glad you are enjoying it!

[@Randomdude63726]

Pretty wild... I discovered them about a month ago too! My wife and I have a cabin near Branson and we're going to have to try and catch them next summer!

[@Brain320]

Yeah, finally a proper suggestion by YT, subscribed after watching(hearing) two clips lol

[@augustsnowfall5189]

Matt Atkins Yeah KZbin has opened up a great many talented musicians for me too 💁🏻‍♀️🇦🇺

[@timothynguyen6673]

It's like passing the torch. Dad used to play the bass. Mom played the mandolin. Then Julienne grew up and played the mandolin, and Mom played the bass. Dad can just sit back, relax and enjoy the music.

[@jhollie8196]

Glenn Campbell would be proud of their rendition of this song. Brings back memories when my mom and dad would play his music in the 60’s and 70’s.

[@JavierBonillaC]

Why greater joy can there be in this world that playing this beautiful song so masterfully in family? Heaven is. Pl e on earth.

[@rockgentleman36]

I'm sitting here in cold wet Germany with a bad mood and this song conjures up a smile on my face! thanks :)

[@TheElrondo]

Julian S. Me too...sadly typically November now.

[@mikenewzealand4525]

I’m sitting here in warm spring sunny weather in New Zealand and it does the same to me 😇

[@500Sokol]

And I'm sitting in Cold Russia...You're not so bad!

[@bereabeard]

Watching Julianne sing is 100% as awesome as listening. She radiates pure joy. This family is my greatest KZbin experience of them all 💙

[@kevinwiens4804]

Me too...

[@kevinwiens4804]

I come here often and listen to the Petersen's sing this song over and over, #1 because of Julianne's endearing sweet and unique voice and also because I grew up listening to Glen Campbell's version...it keep's racking up the "views"...

[@TheHirade]

@@kevinwiens4804 search for the live version in Brenson Theater, a much better version of her singing. You will thank me I guess And yes, I can listen to this song at any time and makes me feel better, at least for 3 minutes

[@TheHirade]

@@kevinwiens4804 here's the live version kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJTQYnewm911oKM

[@TheJoenun]

Her ability to turn a one syllable word into two is what makes it so unique. Love her voice.

Love them for the last 3 years, all of them!

[@k1j2f30]

There is more talent in this one video of 4 minutes and 10 seconds, than I have experienced in my whole 66 years of living. What great musicians, they will bring so much love and emotion to the world, happiness and bliss will rule the gatherings! Rare, beautiful, lovely talent and happy, close, loving family...it shows in their music!!

[@HouseFairyDIY]

I wish I had had a loving family like this family. They can't take their eyes off each other. So much devotion and admiration.

[@williamparker1085]

there is a sense of modesty that is very evident in their videos, something sadly missing in todays world....bravo

[@flimflannery3192]

With every song I hear, my favorite member changes. A new dimension arises with every tune!

[@mikenimblett8805]

Innocence and purity still exists. Thank you Peterson family.

[@jamescarvey2133]

Nothing short of Divine Intervention that one family can have such a huge amount of talent and musical genius. I could never in my wildest dreams think I would hear a Glen Campbell cover version that rivaled the original. Believe me, I'm an old-school die-hard Glen Campbell fan...It's almost sacrilegious for me to make this statement. I am sure Mr. Campbell-If he was around- would feel the same, and proud that he is remembered in song. RIP Sir your music lives on in The Petersens who are in my humble opinion, the nearest thing to a Choir of Angels.🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@raymondfoster219]

exactly so true.

[@anelladambrosio2513]

​@@raymondfoster219ciao Raymond!🙋😊😘💘🌅

[@pauldulac]

Gentle On My Mind has long been a favorite song of mine and one that I wish I could have written. This is one of the best versions I've ever heard.

[@nowthisis2stupid]

I was raised on bluegrass and southern gospel. Your channel is a God send in these stressful times. So relaxing, and soothing. I could listen to this forever.

[@jaytomson7052]

So true...

[@lesnik20]

KZbin was invented so that we could get to know The Petersens

[@ChickensAndGardening]

The best use I've found for KZbin thus far :)

[@siswmaijoradebbarma3286]

You definitely right

[@KB-ic3th]

That's what al gore was thinking when he invented the internet.

[@user-wk9xk2rv5d]

Absolutely 🙌 love this one 💕all the way from good ol Durbs, SA happy new year peeps 😍

[@KPatrickBowen]

I couldn't agree with you more and I'm so glad that I found them!

[@zacharyhollander4567]

Bless the Petersens... Master Level! When big brother takes the dobro solo, I always tear up a touch.

[@racketyjack7621]

I used to tease my mother because Glen Campbell was her favorite singer. It was years later and many a song past that I realized how talented he really was. What do you know, mom was right again. May her and Glen both rest in peace. And once again the Petersens do justice to and old favorite. If I may, may I suggest Houston, by Glen Campbell. I would love to hear your rendition.

[@salvatorelaca8665]

The three daughters, three wonderful and splendid voices

[@Ghostdog4]

A day does not pass without me listening to this epic performance. It always makes me smile! Probably the most attractive family on the Planet

[@ColinConn]

The love I see in this family, could make me weep.

[@DrFlippin]

wow! I just stumbled upon this clip in my feed, and discovered the Petersens (where have I been?!). Listening to this rendition of Gentle on my Mind had me in tears. Just beautiful...
