Morningside - The Petersens Original (LIVE)

"Morningside" is a brand new original by Katie, Julianne and our friend Johnny Meyer, and Emmett helped with the arrangement. The essence is that there is hope beyond the problems of this world, and it was fun to write an uplifting song for a change!

We are also so excited to be heading back to Europe earlier than planned, and we would love to see you there!

►LYRICS - Morningside
I have seen the daylight fadin'
I have faced the eventide
But tomorrow I'll be goin'
Over on the morningside
Over on the morningside

If the wind of sorrow takes me
On the wings of love I'll fly
Till I come to rest so sweetly
Over on the morningside
Over on the morningside

When the midnight hour tarries
Shadows seep into my mind
I know the darkness can't be carried
Over on the morningside
Over on the morningside

Oh morning dove, I hear your song
"Remember, lift your eyes"
You sing of where my soul belongs
So I will sing as I rise

There's a sacred sanctuary
Where a ray of hope resides
With a candle brightly burnin'
Over on the morningside
Over on the morningside

I have seen the daylight fadin'
I have faced the eventide
But tomorrow I'll be goin'
Over on the morningside
Over on the morningside

*LYRICS - Morningside (Original)*

I have seen the daylight fadin'
I have faced the eventide
But tomorrow I'll be goin'
Over on the morningside
Over on the morningside

If the wind of sorrow takes me
On the wings of love I'll fly
Till I come to rest so sweetly
Over on the morningside
Over on the morningside

When the midnight hour tarries
Shadows seep into my mind
I know the darkness can't be carried
Over on the morningside
Over on the morningside

Oh morning dove, I hear your song
"Remember, lift your eyes"
You sing of where my soul belongs
So I will sing as I rise

There's a sacred sanctuary
Where a ray of hope resides
With a candle brightly burnin'
Over on the morningside
Over on the morningside

I have seen the daylight fadin'
I have faced the eventide
But tomorrow I'll be goin'
Over on the morningside
Over on the morningside

Julianne has been *working* on that Mando and it shows. She is also embracing her amazing and unique vocal timbre. Bravo!

[paulatakalo]

A great song and beautiful words! It’s a midnight festival here in Finland today and the sun doesn’t go down, but it reminds of the day when light never fades away but the Son will be our eternal light ☺️.

[paulcharpie]

You guys say you're just "average musicians" (which I'm not buying), but y'all have some amazing song writing skills! If I didn't know this was an original, I would've been scouring the internet wondering how I had never heard such a great song. Well done!

[LeavingTheMatrix-.]

With all the evil in this world currently the last 4 years, It is a breath of fresh air to listen to some of the best musicians I have ever heard. It gives light in the darkness and hope.

[seankennedy]

Every time I listen to the Peterson's my soul is filled with joy. Thank you

[halhalmc]

Julianne's mandolin playing has gotten MUCH better and more confident over the years!

[genesisPiano]

That there are over 800, 000 subscribers to music like this gives me hope in the world.

[bamaguygm]

Those three part harmonies just seem to get better with time ❤ Love you folks

[michaelsmith]

You all always look like you are so for each other (Family). Am I getting that right? The way you smile at each other when your playing, so refreshing.

[DavidDeelLoco]

How proud can one momma be? Mom and dad must go to be nightly beaming with pride. A wonderful family, and OHHHH SOOO talented.

[williamSmith-fvhi]

Peterson family, you are simply amazing. Thanks Jon and Karen. God is so good.

[rogerhorsman]

The Petersens are a must see, when you are in Branson, Missouri. Each one with their own unique voice, but yet come together with awesome harmonies. Great family and lots of talent.

[nealguentzel]

Julianne, what an amazing job you have done singing this beautiful song written written by you, Katie and Johnny with beautiful harmonies from Katie and Matt plus the musical magic of the band including your mandolin, the amazing Emmett on the Dobro, Katie's fiddle, Mom on the bass, Matt on the guitar and a wonderful solo by Ellen on the Banjo and check out the funny outro at the end, Ellen can really run for a new Mom. It's just perfect, including the inspirational lyrics, and I love it!

[MsDenver]

Lovely song, it’s great when you film your music in a beautiful country scene thanks all, bless you😊

[markevans]

Wow...1st time I've heard this.. great song. Thanks Petersens, blessings ✝️

[Tonetwisters]

Oh yeh! Look at Julianne go on that little mando! Wow. That is so good. You guys are putting oomph and feeling into what you sing and play and your songwriting is outstanding. I smiled all the way through this one ...

[rickanderson]

Just came back from Branson Mo seeing them in concert and they were outstanding! I would recommend them any time any where! They are the real deal!

[lennislubrano]

This is wonderful! I cant go a day without listening to the Petersens!❤

[tobystamps]

I love Julianne’s voice in this. She has the perfect voice for bluegrass.
