I did NOT have shamelessly weeping to an Aerosmith song on my 2024 bingo card. But then, it is the Petersens...

The scene with Macy shows how the "baby" addressed in the lyrics could just as easily be an infant as opposed to a romantic partner.

Armageddon came out in 98 when I was 18 years old. This song instantly takes me back to that time in my life, having just started dating my wife. It works well as a lullaby but I can't help but think about my lovely wife when I hear it! Thank you!

Congratulations, to the newest member of the family.

Well, I guess we see what many of us already suspected. . The music is in their blood. They are born to play music.

Sorry Aerosmith, but The Petersens now own this song, and it has become the world’s most rocking lullaby ☺️

Thanks for this beautiful love song/lullaby, guys. Emmett strikes again with his arrangement and Ellen sings it very convincingly (but that doesn't really surprise me). Everyone's in great form again, but I especially enjoyed Katie's sweet violin solo this time. And then the outro, what a lovely surprise! Michael & Macy making their video debut with The Petersens. Good idea to already bring Macy into contact with those strings, you can't start young enough.😂😉 She seems to have a strong preference for the guitar though, "What do we have here? Lemme check that out."🤣🤣

Congratulation, now You have to spent 2-3 month just listening to good music. There are a lot of good stuff with them. Hello from Denmark.😀

The longer you live, the more you learn-I've always thought this was the aerosmith's song from Armageddon movie...Unexpected surprise from the Petersens.Sounded a brand new song...

Oh my goodness, you can feel the love from every one of them for the newest member! We shouldn’t be at all surprised that the baby is musically ambidextrous! You are all the purest form of beauty!

I Don't Want to Miss a Thing was a song for First Dance on our wedding. My words of thanks form Ukraine. And special appreciation for 3/4 time.

This sounds better than orgional, and it was one of my favorites! 👍

If the good Lord granted me one, selfish wish to waste on myself, it would be to hold my children the way I did when they were babies. This song, sung in this context, makes me double down on my hopeful wish! Beautiful arrangement and performance. Don't turn around, because Macy will be grown in the twinkling of an eye...

The only way I can describe what the Petersens do with a song is equate it to if you had a house that already looked very good and is in very good shape and it doesn't appear it could be improved upon, and they renovate it and make it even better. (I'm not trying to take away from the original). Ellen sounds terrific here as usual.

This was a high school song for my wife and me and something we sang to all four of our kiddos when they were little too. We recently watched Armageddon with our eldest (now 14) and she remarked, "How could they take a lullaby and make it THAT kind of love song?" : )

I would be delighted to see a version from The Petersens.

Vuestras versiones son fantásticas. Me transportan a momentos y lugares en los que no he vivido ni estado, pero es como si fueran reales y formaran parte de mi vida: los tiempos épicos del nacimiento de vuestro inmenso país, las grandes extensiones desde la Costa Este hasta los Grandes Lagos o hasta los Apalaches; el curso del Mississippi; las grandes praderas del Oeste o la cálida California. Desde Galicia, al noroeste de España (una tierra verde y con raíces celtas similares a las irlandesas, en su manera de ser, su folklore...), gracias por vuestra música. ¡Ojalá tenga la oportunidad de conocer alguna vez una pequeña parte de lo que vuestro arte me evoca! Y también disfrutar de algún evento vuestro en vivo.

A beautiful rendition of this song, Love It! Macy is ready to learn to play an instrument, any instrument she can get her hands on, lol!

This song immediately brought tears to my eyes. You can feel the love in Ellen's voice

This sounds like a sweet lullaby. By the arrangement of music its song has a love song and a lullaby. And through the song I was impressed Ellen sang like she talked to her baby gently.

E-X-C-E-L-L-E-N-T !! 😊 greetings from Northern Germany

Music has the extraordinary ability to heal and soothe the soul. Its harmonious melodies and captivating rhythms have a profound impact on our emotions. Music at its best, is something we feel. The Petersens are that rare breed of artists that help us feel and then help us heal.

What to say...one of the sweetest songs ever written, especially dear to the hearts of my generation, now played in the sweetest way possible and brought to new heights. I already wanted to say that I love you all, boys and girls, but then the easter egg came...and put the biggest smile on my face. My children are in their middle teens now, and I already fondly think about when they were so tender and innocent. And the way she touched the strings of both mandolin and guitar spells a lot about the fact that Music is powerful in this One :-). Love from Italy and God bless you all, especially the little angel.

What a treat to see Michael and Macy on this video! Great job on the lead, Ellen. Excellent rendition!

Thank you for such a wonderful and beautiful song. I came home from the hospital today and you all made me happy and smiling for the first time in days. ❤ I wonder if you all realize how much love you give me and us all ♥️🙏❤️♥️🙏♥️

The mandolin!! Great job! Keep it up... I'd love to hear more of the mandolin pickin!!!

I saw Aerosmith in concert in Raleigh, NC in 1998 when this song came out. They rocked it. However, I do believe I prefer this version much more than the original! Great job, as always! Much love!

One of my favorite songs. I was half expecting Steven Tyler to make a cameo, the song always pulls at my heart strings when I watch the movie.

The original was playing at the gym this morning. This is way better. Great job, Petersens.

The Bridge section was thrilling!

I just knew this song was written for the baby and even the hubby, then I was like, wait I've heard this song before...😅. The baby part at the end was the best❤

🤩😍 C’est la première fois que je vous vois avec votre bébé vous êtes de belles personnes de l’extérieur comme de l’intérieur! Que la GRÂCE ET LA BÉNÉDICTION VOUS ACCOMPAGNE TOUS ENSEMBLE CHAQUE JOUR DE VOTRE VIE! SHALOM DEPUIS LA SUISSE 🇨🇭 ❤❤

That was a beautiful and heartwarming performance. It was so nice to see Ellen do this classic song. Also, the outro was so much fun.

Very talented muscians and singers, beautifully rearranged Emmett, so soft and gentle, would definately send me off to sleep at the end of the day 😊 lovely to see Michael play as well. Macy must smile and in her own baby language of gurgles , join in too 😊

Well ... I think she like the strings !!!

I'm not going to cry, I'm not going to cry, I'm not going to cry.........not again, Petersens! Thanks always! 😊
