►LYRICS - California (a Katie Petersen original)
Memories fade slowly
No please don't go, not yet
Well I was your one and only
I'm not ready to forget
All the times we shared together
All the words we never said
But I remember...
When we almost went to California
We almost fell in love in the sand
And you almost told me to be your woman
So you'll always almost be my man
I think it was late last summer
I saw the distance in your eyes
When you said that you found another
And then you told me not to cry
But I knew that's when it started
The beginning of the end
And I remembered...
When we almost went to California
We almost fell in love in the sand
And you almost told me to be your woman
So you'll always almost be my man
I guess it was late last winter
Snow falling all around
Wedding bells rang, she entered
But I left without a sound
Oh I know she'll always love you
But heaven knows that so will I
And I'll remember...
When we almost went to California
We almost fell in love in the sand
And you almost told me to be your woman
So you'll always almost be my man

I'm an old session player from the 1970's so can speak with a little bit of authority...Everybody should listen up to this! No auto tune, no big amps, no flashing lights, smoke or dancers. Just a lot of fundamental talent. That's how it's done, kids! (At my age, even Mom's a kid too) The looks on your faces shows how much fun you're having too. You're all inspirational. thanks...

Being an Old Garage Band Guitar picker and a former Southern California DJ back in the early 70's I agree. I won't listen to commercial radio and hyper CG produced music anymore. But i will stand and listen to a street musician for hours, then dump all the cash in my wallet in his jar. Love the Live Pure Music.

My wife has Alzheimer’s and loves this song. I play the video multiple times a night for her. I wrote a poem that I read to her every night as well. Memories fade slowly, no please don’t go, not yet, I whisper to the twilight, to the echoes of our duet. I am your one and only, and I’m not ready for you to forget, The stories of our lifetime, the dreams we haven’t met. I think it was late that summer, I saw a difference in your eyes, A distant, cloudy shadow, where once the sunshine lies. The laughter we had shared, the moments pure and wise, Started slipping through the cracks, like whispers in the skies. Memories fade slowly, no please don’t go, not yet, I hold onto the fragments, with a heart full of regret. I am your one and only, and I’m not ready for you to forget, The love that binds us closer, in every sunrise and sunset. The days blend into nights, the seasons swiftly flow, Yet in the quiet moments, I see the you I know. I think it was late that summer, when time began to slow, And the life we built together, began to ebb and go. Memories fade slowly, no please don’t go, not yet, I’ll weave the threads of yesterday, in hopes we never fret. I am your one and only, and I’m not ready for you to forget, The vows we made in tenderness, that love can’t ever debt. So here we stand in twilight, as stars begin to rise, I think it was late that summer, I saw a difference in your eyes. Yet in this endless journey, beneath the changing skies, My heart will always whisper, our love never dies.

Katie's voice is just pure beauty here and the harmonies are just right. The instrumentation is perfect with the short fiddle lead and the break with that beautiful dobro. This group is just pure magic and their music just calms the soul. I give this song a perfect 10.

Jesus is.. May His love engulf your whole being and bring wholeness, peace and joy into your life 🙏

@davidpietarila699 3 года назад

@@aiaxander1468 I appreciate the sentiment, but unfortunately “Christianity” played a fairly significant role in the majority of traumas and dramas in my life. I put Christianity in parentheses bet I don’t believe several members of my family were actually Christians, but did use Jesus to manipulate people/children into unconscionable predicaments, and then forgive themselves for horrible acts. I am not casting stones at you, or the Peterson’s for their faith, and I applaud those who actually practice what they preach. But I’ve learned the hard way to turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to religion and appreciate people for how they actually behave.

@Farmer_El 3 года назад

Indeed, Mark. I met the love of my life when I was just 15. We dated until I graduated from high school. We got married on June 1st, 1985 - just a few days before I went into the US Army. She was 19 and I was still 18. We traveled the world together for the 22 years I was in the military. In late 2019 she developed a few problems that put her in the hospital. I lost her in February of 2000 just 4 months shy of our 35th wedding anniversary. I have not and never will completely recover from that loss, but love really is forever.

I've watched this video dozens of times. I love The Petersens, and yeah I have a penchant for sad songs. This always makes me want to cry. Some of the best songwriting I've ever heard.

@LarryTaint-qn8pd 3 года назад

Me too buddy. I can't see how she can sing it without crying, it's so sad.

Wow until today I had never heard of this group. Now I can't stop listening. What beautiful music. No matter who sings they all do a great job

@JimZim 4 года назад

Wow! First off, that's some incredible songwriting right there. If all you had done was create the lyrics and the music, it would have been a huge enough accomplishment... but on top of that, the performance of it! Oh my! Well done, Petersens... with the biggest congratulations to Katie for being an amazing songwriter with unlimited potential. The future is bright for this family.

I don’t know how Katie gets through that song without weeping. So poignant. If that happened to me, I don’t think I could sing through it without becoming a mess. I presume it is healing for her. I sure hope so, it is beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.

The siblings have strengths that are unique to one another; not one replaces the other. This original song Katie wrote demonstrates her inner beauty and talent that old men tear up about. It's near perfect for her and it's strange to be the old man grandpa I once couldn't understand. Keep it up Katie.

The song California´s got beautiful text from the life. I wish you a lot of inspiration at the making of your songs. Good luck The Petersen´s.

@marklenz7065 3 года назад

I just love that harmony. So wonderful. This has been a very rough year, but with God's help and the Petersen's beautiful music, I've made it through. Thank you for your witness and music.

@jazzgrubsmoor6007 4 года назад

This is a powerful song that speaks to everyone who has ever had a broken heart. I wouldn't want to wish another broken heart on Katie. She deserves to be happy and loved. However, if her broken heart produces songs this good, I will certainly enjoy every future romantic failure, as I wait for her great song about true love forever.

Katie is telling her truth... can't you feel it? The purity of her story is as clear as the sun on a bright clear day! This family may have come through the Christian FORMAT, but they are as real as it gets. The energy they transmit from their core beings is right out of the heart of SOURCE ...it brings tears to my eyes every time I listen to them. Katie is so deeply spiritual ... my heart is so touched by the pureness of her beingness... I am in awe of who they and she is ... THANK YOU ALL...

Thank you dear Petersens. We listen to you a lot in Belgium. You are doing a remarkable job that brings sunshine to all families. And also to all those in the world for whom life is not easy.

@grandpatzer 3 года назад

Gorgeous original composition/song. I get the sense of cherished memory, a respect for the way things were, and a sad but peaceful acceptance that those things can never again come to pass. This is a very special emotion. I think the Portuguese and Brazilians would call this emotion "Saudade".

I played music for a living for the better part of 30 years and all I can say is that was just beautiful . If you take it on the road and end up here in Canada you can bet I'll be there , and so will many others ... Keep up the good work

@PatrickSeanEarl 4 года назад

I've played this song every morning for the last 4 days . I sure hope you didn't live this story . if you did that man was a fool .. Sorry , it's just how I feel . My life has had a lot of up hill including the loss of my daughter 17 years ago and playing my guitar helped me get threw it . She sang vary much like you and I miss that every day . If you look me up on You tube another part of my story is there if you read the words by Dave Gray . I just don't know what I would have done if I didn't have faith and music in my life . Love Your Voice Young Lady

@tecnolover2642 3 года назад

That's because it is a hit song. I am songwriter and I knew it the minute i heard it. I'm happy for her. Songs like that don't come along often. Lots of elements have to fall into place. What is very unusual is to be so skilled to write, sing and solo on an instrument! Many singer songwriters can play simple accomp but shes a soloist on the fiddle in their band and very polished. That much skill is very rare and requires lots of dedication
