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

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.

The man has a voice like no other hands-down songwriter guitarist sadly with all the respect, Mr. Denver I know you're watching and I'm sure thinking the same thing this girl has a voice like no other being backed by a loving family it's so good to see you made my day better than I ever thought it could be.

I just realized Julianne and Emmett sang together on “You Can’t Make Old Friends” from 02:00 to about 03:00. All the more reason to feature them on the “Back Porch”!

[@cmaschweiz1417]

Diese wundervolle Stimme und die natürliche Ausstrahlung mit dem sooo sympathischen Lächeln machen süchtig - ich kann stundenlang zuhören und zusehen. Julianne, du tust einfach nur gut in dieser verrückten Welt - ich hoffe fest, dass ich dich einmal live erleben darf.

A wonderful, poetic song, written by one of the most under-recognized writers and musicians ever -- the great John Hartford -- closely associated with Glenn Campbell, but a very original performer on his own.

[@paulbaker8748]

I stumbled on the Petersons some months ago now. musically brilliant, Julianne just breaks my heart with that perfect voice. What an amazing talent the family has. Not to mention Emmet.

[@noabaak]

Julianne is a hidden jewel. She should sing more. Love her voice, not to mention two other ladies! - nyc, 7/18/2020

[@TheStuport]

Just a positive Treat to see Julianne's siblings Smile with Pride at their Sister! Cheers From Ohio

[@strangersf]

They each do that for each other. Parenting level 10!

[@charlesmckenna712]

Thank you for the song brings back memories I've been watching a family singing forever the songs are always gentle On My Mind thank You for the Music keep singing I keep listening The fool on the Hill

[@donpugh9930]

John Hartford tells a great story about how he wrote this . He said he was a blue grass banjo picker in the cotton fields of southeast Missouri. He never wrote it as a pop song but here we are. The song has been very good to me.

No matter the sunshine... ...your smiles somehow shine even brighter! 😍

[@MrZharar]

One of the happiest songs on KZbin...beautiful..

[@StephanieHughesDesign]

This is so beautiful. Glen Campbell would be so proud. True Americana music.

[@wisemensay7464]

Compliments from Westfalia/Germany (I already told something, some time before). Wooden Music - like a Mountain Lake. Lovely - heart and soul a-warming. Thank you Petersen Family - D. D. Taube - Germany

[@johnwbudris]

Amazing, she's probably not even 17 and she sings this song like an old soul with more than too many heartbreaks.

[@paulbaker8748]

I'm listening again, just loving it more every time, musically brilliant Julianne perfect.

[@Hwashburn]

Me too. I've listened to this about a hundred times, and every single time I listen, it gets better! Plus, I'm a total sucker for the Petersens' vocal harmonies, yet there's not one note of vocal harmony in this! Something about this song makes it perfect forJulianne's unique voice, and the musicianship of the rest of the band here is just stellar.

[@daswissenummagnesium6447]

One of the Best Versions of this Song. Realy Great my lovley famaly.

[@randalyearwood6975]

I started crying! Glenn is smiling down on you, and yes, he's even singing with you! He has ALWAYS been proud of you and your family. I know he would have much rather been here with you, however, he's making the BEST stage EVER for you. God bless you and your family! I love you. Along with you daddy!❤

[@mikenimblett8805]

Innocence and purity still exists. Thank you Peterson family.

[@JeffDaytonMusic]

Nice to hear your version, really enjoyed the innocence... I had the honor of playing the song with both John Hartford and as Glen Campbell's bandleader and guitarist for 15 years. Sweet job!

[@ThePetersens]

Wow! Honored you listened to it. Thank you!

[@321minder]

Cool Jeff...

[@0616ko]

Very nice. Hi praise coming from Jeff Dayton.

[@ollieroger3032]

Jeff's the real deal. Check out his performance with Glen and the South Dakota Symphony. Can't watch that enough. Great playing, Jeff!

[@miketreesh1552]

She dose amazing job with this song love to hear more music by them

[@FrankHowell-if8pl]

Bravo!!! A fabulous performance by all. It doesn't get any better than this.

[@ardshielcomplex8917]

From Australia, its a always a delight watching and l listening to you. The young lady lead singer is blessed with a superb country music voice.

[@jasonh9696]

Has anyone else been binging on their music lately? Every time I think one sibling is the most talented I watch their next video and change my mind. LOL.

[@deanchampion6777]

Covid 102-105 degree for 6-8 weeks... I don't know day it is, or even if it day or night. You KNOW I gotta be binging on them, to maintain my sanity and remember what happiness used to be. I'm confident that I'll live, but I've about a month of abject misery yet to endure. You can only play the hand you're dealt. Play it wisely.

[@MarkWilsonMSW]

@@deanchampion6777 Best wishes, brother.

[@deanchampion6777]

@@MarkWilsonMSW : I'm feeling much better. But being treated now for some serious liver thing. Ah, the fun never ends... LOL. But now that I'm conscious again, time for some more Petersens.

[@hudsonhollow]

I'm a "newbie" and I am blown away!!!!!

[@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 💁🏻‍♀️🇦🇺

[@chrisbedwell8527]
