One of the great advantages of being 70 years old is that I heard Don Williams sing this song live about 45 years ago.

Props to Emmett for the tasty dobro harmonics at 2:40. A+ . Take a bow. Now all you guys need is more BASS SOLOES!!!!!

A river with an infinite source never runs dry.

Even Stumpy, (who lost a couple of fingers in an unfortunate accident) could count all the banjo players who can sing like Ellen, on one hand.

The Petersen formula of perfection is back for 2022! Wonderful song choices, great interpretation, excellent musicianship, amazing harmonies, lovely scenery, pure videography and of course beautiful smiles!!!!!!!!!

When Emmitt plays that little break with harmonics is just a perfect touch.

I used to be a working musician and so I know a little about singing, harmonies and musicianship. I've never heard any better music choreography! Brilliant!

I love the Northern Parula warbler singing in the background at the end of the video.... Oh, and it goes without saying, Don Williams would have loved this....

Absolutely gorgeous! That's a very low 'get', Ellen (2:34). The Petersens' versatility never ceases to amaze me.

The Petersen are like a box of chocolates.... I love this people. ♥️🇮🇹 Ciao.

have loved Don WIlliams song since long time, thank you Petersens, From Madagascar

Happy birthday Matt From Italy. Gianfranco. Ciao.

Your grandpa had great taste. This is a truly beautiful love song. Ellen's lead vocal is somewhere between perfect and ethereal. I just love the harmonies too, just a fantastic job by Katie and Matt. Combined with the wonderful instrumental work by Emmett Katie and Karen make this one of my Petersen favorites!

Emmett blows me away every time he plays.

Till life on earth is through….we definitely need the Petersens! I’m lost for words, it was so beautiful. 😍 I’m sure Don Williams is proud of this.

Beautifully done. A great take on that wonderful song. Old Don would be thrilled. Great job Ellen. Everybody on point as usual. Just love those family harmonies. Doesn't seem to matter which of you or how many of you are singing. Always seamless. It certainly is a better day when we get a Petersen's video. Thanks for sharing your gifts.

Will never forget seeing Don Williams in Ft. Smith a while back. Hope to see you in Branson soon.

Beautiful. Simply beautiful. I love this family and their music. I'm pretty much on the tail end of life. Sometimes, just listening to them sing and play, I get a reprieve, and my memories come alive. I'm sure that sounds dumb to most people. Thank you for sharing your God given talents and know you are appreciated dearly. And that violin. Wow!!!

The true mark of a great bluegrass band is pinpoint tight harmonies and these vocals are fantastic. Great song choice and great delivery.

Every time I listen this song l think how many passion you put in this work. But I suppose you do not consider that a work. Good night from Italy. Gianfranco. Ciao.

This may sound odd, but I can physically feel the harmony here resonate. This may be my favorite video so far.

Don Williams. I miss him. Beautifully performed.

Don Williams was such an awesome song writer and singer, and The Petersens sing one of my favorites of his songs in such a beautiful and sweet way that it truly honors him. Ellen takes the lead with great harmonies from Matt and Katie. This family band is REMARKABLE as truly decent people who are great singers and musicians and who operate on PURE UNADULTURATED TALENT!

That's what you call sweet.perfect harmony.

Beautiful vocal Ellen -and glorious dobro Emmett. Good to resurrect forgotten songs.

I love all of your music, and I love the grandpa connection, because I have 18 grandchildren and you can't play favories. But shhhh! This is my favorite!!

I respect people that commit to their craft and it's invigorating when they excel in it - rarer than it used to be but still around. The Peterson's however add something special to the mix that can only come from a place of love, and that makes them downright legendary. Have a cupcake day! : )

KZread hasn't showed me your videos in many months. Glad to see everyone is fine. Nice song!

Beautiful song and awesome harmony! Love it!

Those harmonies, holy cats!

Who else thinks that we need to hear MORE lead songs from Mrs. Ellen Haygood / Petersen? a stunning melody and the harmonies from Katie and Matt and Ellen make it a joy to hear..

wow. What perfect family harmony. As good as it gets. Bless you all with all God's goodness and grace.

it´s something beautiful. Beautiful song and beautiful voices.

The more I listen, the more I love it and just may be my personal fav Petersen Band song. Thank you for this delight.

don Williams proud of you up there

The Petersens at their very best, when Ellen sings lead, Matt and Katie sing harmony. Gorgeous music that lifts you.

Nice to see The Petersens again, and to be able to read Liz's captions once more!

the harmony is soooo soothing

How did I miss this? I love your music and I love Don Williams. This is great!

Found one of your videos, watched three more. Enjoy your music.

So good. With the world open again finally I am suddenly feeling like maybe I should finally go to Branson.

Always so nice to see such a beautiful family. God bless from Florida

I came back yet again...and as I listened the harmonies reminded me of an actual enlightenment...heavenly sounds as well as thoughts.

Y'alls harmony is STUNNING. I can hear that slight buzz that comes from perfectly harmonized thirds. Great job everybody:) Some of my two year old's first words were Emmett, dobro, Matt, and (gui)"tar". Ha!

Lucy, I was thinking the same thing. In physics, the “buzz” is called beat frequency. When two frequencies are close, especially with the same tonality you get when family members sing, you hear pulses when the sound waves overlap. The number of pulses per second is based on the difference in frequencies of the two notes. I love hearing that in harmony singing!

That was beautiful! Sibling harmonies always sound good but you guys are the best! I love this song!

I love so many different types of music, mostly far different from this. But even when I accidentally click on a The Peterson's video and the harmonies start, I can't leave, I have to listen all the way through. This takes me away, it lifts me to a place where there's nothing but the power of acoustic heartfelt melodic sweetness. The closest thing I can match it to is the best work by The Chicks. And that's an incredibly high compliment.

Don Williams had one of the greatest voices in country. Would love to hear you guys do Lord I Hope This Day is Good.

Listening to this song bring back memories of Don Williams and his beautiful songs.

Having listened to many of the tracks (especially the secular ones), this and "Crazy" are my favorites. Time and time again...

I first heard this song on the Pete Townshend/Ronnie Lane album Rough Mix. It's been a favorite of mine ever since

One of my all time favorite songs by my favorite singer. I had a Don Williams cassette in my truck that was on constantly. I’ve sung this song a million times, but nowhere near as good as your version.

Listening to Ellen sing always puts you on the edge of your seat.

Whoa, The Petersen's, Just blew me away again, Petersen's anything by Don Williams, you can "own" it.. Such beautiful harmonies...love everything you do! I just discovered this, literally brought tears to my eyes!

"Till the Rivers All Run Dry" ist ein Lied des amerikanischen Country-Music-Künstlers Don Williams, der es gemeinsam mit Wayland Holyfield geschrieben hat. Er wurde im Dezember 1975 als erste Single aus dem Album Harmony veröffentlicht. Der Song war Williams' vierte Nummer eins in den Country-Charts. Die Single blieb eine Woche lang auf Platz eins und hielt sich insgesamt zwölf Wochen in den Country-Charts. Text „Bis die Flüsse alle versiegen 'Till the rivers all run dry „Bis die Sonne vom Himmel fällt 'Till the sun falls from the sky „Bis das Leben auf der Erde vorbei ist 'Till life on earth is through Ich werde dich brauchen I'll be needing you Ich weiß, dass du dich manchmal fragst I know sometimes you may wonder Von kleinen Dingen, die ich sage und tue From little things I say and do Aber du brauchst dich nicht zu wundern But there's no need for you to wonder Wenn ich dich brauche If I need you Denn ich werde dich brauchen 'Cause I'll need you „Bis die Flüsse alle versiegen 'Till the rivers all run dry „Bis die Sonne vom Himmel fällt 'Till the sun falls from the sky „Bis das Leben auf der Erde vorbei ist 'Till life on earth is through Ich werde dich brauchen I'll be needing you --- Instrumental --- --- Instrumental --- Zu oft sage ich es dir nicht Too many times I don't tell you Zu viele Dinge stehen im Weg Too many things get in the way Und obwohl ich dich manchmal verletzt habe And even though sometimes I hurt you Du zeigst es mir trotzdem Still you show me In jeder Weise In every way „Bis die Flüsse alle versiegen 'Till the rivers all run dry „Bis die Sonne vom Himmel fällt 'Till the sun falls from the sky „Bis das Leben auf der Erde vorbei ist 'Till life on earth is through Ich werde dich brauchen I'll be needing you Songwriter: Wayland Holyfield / Don Williams
