Fields of Gold - The Petersens (LIVE)

"Fields of Gold" is the first song Julianne learned when she switched from just coming up on stage to do one song as a kid to being our full time mandolin player. Immediately, audience members loved her vocal style and this song was our most popular song on our first tour as a full band to Ireland.

We are so thankful for our friends at Big Cedar letting us use their venues! For this one, Aaron had us in a field on the road down to Integrity Hills Chapel. We were literally flicking ticks off our microphones while filming hahaha. But thankfully Aaron had some bug spray with him!

►LYRICS - Fields of Gold
You'll remember me when the west wind blows
Among the fields of barley
And you'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold

So she took her love for to gaze awhile
Among the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold

Will you stay with me, will you be my love
Among the fields of barley?
And we'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in fields of gold

I've never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We'll walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of gold

I've never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We'll walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of gold

Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
As we lie in fields of gold
As we lie in fields of gold

You'll remember me when the west wind blows
Among the fields of barley
And you'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold

*LYRICS - Fields of Gold*

You'll remember me when the west wind blows
Among the fields of barley
And you'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold

So she took her love for to gaze awhile
Among the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down 
Among the fields of gold

Will you stay with me, will you be my love
Among the fields of barley?
And we'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in fields of gold

I've never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We'll walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of gold

I've never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We'll walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of gold

Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
As we lie in fields of gold
As we lie in fields of gold

You'll remember me when the west wind blows
Among the fields of barley
And you'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold

The Petersens represent everything that's good about America!

[-Sh-]

In my final days, I beg to hear Julianne sing. She is a gift.

[jamesedwinrodden]

I love the way her sisters are always smiling at her when she's singing. You can see how proud they are.

[anamendonca]

I can never get tired of listening to this family. They are so on point, the melodies, the instruments combination, their voices, everything is amazing. Love them!!!

[Towelietowel]

Never let Nashville or worse, Hollywood, get their grubby hands on Julianne. The mainstream music industry doesn't deserve her.

[billmoore]

This family oozes with talent, what a haunting voice Julianne has, I spend so much time listening to The Petersens now, amazing family, I'm 87 now and for me you have lifted 2020/21 from the gloom of the pandemic to something very special. Thank you for the joy you have brought to us, God Bless you all. From Bill in England

[tommobile]

As veteran video producer, I’m blown away by the studio quality audio mix accomplished in remote recording conditions.

[dlmad]

I just love the way the oldest daughter smiles and looks so proud of her sisters when they play and sing. Gods awesome love ! What a beauty !!

[blagmate]

They take such pleasure in each OTHER'S performances. Selfless performers.

[joshwoodson]

Momma laying it down the whole way through. Upright respect!

[bartoncessna]

I'll always remember 2020. Not for COVID, but for the Petersens. A bad year made good. Thank you!

[captainz]

If only anyone in my life had ever looked at me with as much pride in their eyes as when those talented ladies look at their younger sister. ❤

[ejames]

Each sister has their own type of voice that sounds awesome!

[mathiassiebert]

I've heard this song about 30 times in one day and can't get enough of the love that radiates from this video all over the world. The way the two sisters look at their "little one" so proudly and lovingly is heartwarming. But I don't want to forget the two gentlemen, the brother holds each song together very easily and unnoticed with a great musicality and Emmet is just a fantastic dobro player. And how Mama hits the bass, a blast.

[tobystamps]

This is one of Juliane’s best. Her voice is awesome in this.

[bobsmythe]

I'm a Rage Against the Machine, Tool guy but this just so refreshing in a world gone mad. Beautiful people.

[silviabogle]

Listened to "Fields of Gold" while driving home - ran into my house and asked my husband if he had ever heard of the Petersens. I started cooking and he u-tubed you and called out: come and see! Man! My imagination of teased hair and sculptured faces went right out the window. So mesmerized by these girls! Their clean looks are so refreshing - YOU GOT YOURSELF A FAN IN GERMANY AND I'M MAKING ALL MY FRIENDS LISTEN TO YOU!❤

[middlepath]

The Petersens bring the world joy in difficult times. God Bless.

[slick_slicers]

I played the Petersens ‘Top Tunes’ on Spotify this morning and three of the first five were sung by Julianne... you’re a real hit girl! Love your voice!
