Fun fact: They shot this where I work. It was filmed real late around 2AM - 5AM. The blonde guy in the background at the desk at the beginning is the Sales Manager that landed the booking of the filming there.
Also. Sad news. As of now the owners of the hotel say it is closing its doors Dec 31st of this year. Covid related. I can now say that this is the Roosevelt Hotel in NYC. Whether it's permanent or temporarily just for renovations we don't know yet.
Yes, I'm back for 2021. And no, I still haven't found a better performance than this! I'm sad they aren't performing together anymore, but this will always be one of my top 3 favs from them!
I know your post is old but my husband is in the air Force he'll be home in 3 days!!!! I'm so excited for him to see how big my baby belly got lol now I'm tears 😂
The only gift I want for Christmas is to have my whole family back together. I leave it gods hands. I am praying each day for miracle. without him my Christmas won't be complete
I know I have commented in the past. But this IS ABSOLUTELY THE BEST RENDITION of this song I HAVE EVER HEARD! AS IN EVER! Will never get tired of hearing this!
I heard this song so many times even when it isn't christmas. This is the first time I cried listening to it. I can feel the spiritual energy in this song. I always get goosebumps hearing it as well. RF and his crew are blessed to have this power.
This rendition of 'I'll be home for Christmas' is what made me a Rascals Flatts fan. Very Thankful for this song:) You don't find voices like this all too often.
Mandela Effect! So refreshing and calming to hear this song sung with the lyrics "You can {count} on me" Apparently all the older I'll be Home for Christmas songs i remember listening to as a kid the verse goes "You can {plan} on me". Does anyone else remember {You can count on me} being the original lyrics as well?
Rascal Flatts did such a great job with this song!!! The first time I heard it, it gave me chills!!!! What a sweet, and beautiful sound! I thank God for giving me ears to hear this tune!! Thanks Rascal Flatts for thrilling alot of people!!! God Bless!
This song makes my heart really happy... and yes, I'm a black lady who appreciates good country music,.. nothing wrong with that... Besides, Rascal Flats is a fantastic group of artists!!!
i have listened to this a million times. i adore this song. im not a christmas person at all. i usually dont get into the spirit until a few days before christmas. but this song.... this gives me chills for some reason
I found this when my dad was deployed to Iraq. It just popped up on my recommended and I listened and made me wish he was home. Luckily he is home now and hasn't been deployed in 5 years. I dedicate this to my daddy
Braliegh Buckner I second that. We must never forget the sacrifices that our service men and women make (or have made) for our country on a daily basis. God bless them all. Please give my best thanks to your father for his service as well. #MerryChristmasEveryone
Song is nice, but that dialogue at the beginning torpedoes the video. Seriously, I don't want to hear them ramble. It totally ganks the mood when I have it playing in the background! Very intrusive with something that adds nothing to a song that never needed any adding to. It's like adding frosting to a steak.
Omg how I love this song sung by Rascal Flatts .. my mom sang this to my dad while he was passing away she Said owe you everything my Darling .. he got to hear her sing this to him as he left our world .. to embrace the love of our creator .. and smiled murmuring thank you to my mom .. what an amazing gift my mom gave him after 48 years of complete love Rip dad ... this was his fav country western grp..
We sing this song in choir! This is such a touching song about the loneliness on battle grounds during World War II. I'm glad I found this on youtube. The fact that it's a capella only makes me love it more!
Rascal Flatts defiantly do this song justice. I'm not a big Christmas song person but I am a "formal"music person. The Melody and Harmony is beautiful! It makes me want to be home for Christmas and makes me so grateful that my boyfriend that is in the Navy is home this Christmas. Great Job Rascal Flatts!!
i wish my grandpa could be here for christmas. thank you for serving our country to keep us safe. i really miss you papa. rip :'( i love you i will be with gramma on christmas and i know you will be there with us in my heart. merry christmas papa
I always play this song to sleep to on Christmas Eve. This Christmas is my 1st without my godmother. Though I lost 1 home, I still have another and she'll always be there in my dreams. Thank you rascal Flatts for singing this song. I started this ritual at 10 and now 24. A reminder that you'll be home for Christmas... Even if only in your dreams... Weird ritual I know.
I am almost 37 years old...I have heard countless versions of this song. This is beyond the shadow of a doubt, the absolutely best version of this song I have ever heard...in fact I would probably put it under Bing Crosby's White Christmas as the 2nd best christmas song of all time.
I first saw this video back in 2018 ? . Not sure exactly the year but I know my husband and I were absolutely blown away by the harmony! I lost my husband in 2019 but I find this every Christmas and listen with memories of my husband. Aside from my special memories of this song, this is my favorite version of this song. Thank you guys for sharing your talent with the rest of us.
I love this song so much...it just puts me to tears and makes me think about all the soldiers that are fighting in wars for us at this very moment and how they promise their families that they'll be home and spend some time with them.
I moved away from my hometown about a year ago to go train to be a fire fighter. I just found out i will get to go home this Christmas. Listening to this song brings a tear to my eye. nothing i want more in this world than to go home.
It was 1967, two days before Christmas. My unit was on some God forsaken hilltop in Vietnam. It was drizzling rain. Somewhere in the distance we could hear this song playing. Never did know if it was the radio or a record player. All of those rough, tough GI's had a far away look in their eyes and most of them had wet eyes but not from the rain. I still get far that away feeling in my gut when I hear this song.
This was my song to my gramma i live a state away and made a promise to her to come see her in the hospital on christmas.. and i did and she died a week later on new years.. i miss her so much so i will listen to this all year long .. love you gramma hess....love u always kerrie
This song always reminds me of my dad as I lost him when I was 10 years old and I always thought I was living a nightmare and at any given moment he'd be walking in the door. He's been gone 35 and a half yrs now. He always loved Christmas.
Moving a thousand miles away alone... from home was probably the hardest decision I ever had to make..but also the best... Thankfully this year.... I WILL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS.... the way this group sings this song makes it truly touching. Bless you all!
Gail use to sing to every year around Christmas. I still remember the time he almost did not make home. He drove for over 7 hours in a Snow storm just to be with us.
My Dad is a Retired Cop. He had to work some Christmases i always wanted him to be home for Christmas. I listen to this song now and it brings tears to my eyes. I dont have any grandfathers they all have passed on. Christmas is a Day where i tend to cry. Im usally sick on that day.
Love this song! And it's going to mean a lot for me this year; my sister is now in the Air Force (she's three years older than I am), and told us a couple weeks ago that she won't be home for Christmas. It'll be our first Christmas without her. It's really going to hurt later when Christmas comes closer.
Update: she ended up surprising me and cam home for Christmas! So I was blessed, but I see how hard it is not to have family there. I hope Christmas went well for you, sir.
oh.. mah.. god. everytime i listen to this song, it gives me VIOLENT SHIVERS!!!! No other christmas song does that for me like this!! Rascal Flatts all the way!!
+David Blaine my boyfriend wint be here for Chirstmas. i know im only 13 but i realy love him he moved away. we cant have our Christmas kiss. my first kiss. he promissed
+Dane Bryant Frazier I started to listen to christmas music in September!! XD omg i already have a playlist ready! Can't wait for Thanksgiving day, when they start playing Christmas music!!
this song means so much to me! my cousin got deployed in november and will be gone for a year. i wish he could be home for christmas. he has never been home for christmas. it would be a miracle for him to be home for christmas this year. keep him in your prayers! thanks!!!!
I looked up this song just to hear there beautiful voices in action. I wasn't disappointed. I can honestly say that this is one of the most beautiful songs they have ever sung. At least in the top 3 :-) I love the Flatts!
When i hear this song, i really miss my grand dad & grand ma..wish they are both here but there are happy in heaven now..merry xmas grand dad & grand ma..i will always love u both.
Fun fact: They shot this where I work. It was filmed real late around 2AM - 5AM. The blonde guy in the background at the desk at the beginning is the Sales Manager that landed the booking of the filming there.
Love the backstory.
Also. Sad news. As of now the owners of the hotel say it is closing its doors Dec 31st of this year. Covid related. I can now say that this is the Roosevelt Hotel in NYC. Whether it's permanent or temporarily just for renovations we don't know yet.
wow do you still work there?
Awesome
@@christloen4077 Nope. Still closed.
probably the best cover of this song ever made
This one NEVER GETS OLD! I can listen to it over and over again.
It was written and released in 1943 for the military who were fighting for our Country
It has some of the best harmonies i have ever heard...Fantastic!
Who’s listening to this in 2020?? I can’t stop listening to this amazing and calming song.
me everyday even if itssummer
Cynthia Ducharme Yes, even listening to it on the porch around the holidays. Perfect timing!!
Here! 🙋♂️
This is literally the best version of this song . I’ve loved it for years and can’t have Christmas without it.
Emily nam Right! Merry Christmas to you!
This is my favorite version of any Christmas song ever! So captivating the way their voices blend. Beautiful!
10 years later still loving this cover. How bout y'all in 2019
Gabby Hayes these guys nailed this one!!
Gabby Hayes I am loving it.
It’s 2020 almost 2021 boys
Well 11 years later and I don't know bout y'all but I'm still loving this cover. Merry Christmas 🎄 y'all!
That time of year y'all let's do this! Merry Christmas 🎄🎄🎄 2021! 🎉🎉🎉
Yes, I'm back for 2021. And no, I still haven't found a better performance than this! I'm sad they aren't performing together anymore, but this will always be one of my top 3 favs from them!
They aren't a group anymore? Have they all gone solo?
Aw, I love this song! Sad to hear that, but they did give us some beautiful music!
I agree !
@@donitabrown8100 Unfortunately not. Only Gary went solo, don't know about the other two. We remain with the music. This performance is a blast
@raulmihalyi Yes, I agree. I absolutely LOVE this one. It's in my top 5 of A cappella songs/performances. Sad they aren't together anymore.
My soldier is coming home!! He'll be home tomorrow(: YAY!!!!!!!
That's wonderful, congrats
Oh, Briana, that will always be the best gift, even four years later.
God bless
I know your post is old but my husband is in the air Force he'll be home in 3 days!!!! I'm so excited for him to see how big my baby belly got lol now I'm tears 😂
Happy for you Briana
Congrats
Their harmonies are incredible! I get chills every time I listen to this song!
What makes it more nice is that it's acapella.
Thank u jesus for these talented men
These guys NEVER let us down. Such BEAUTIFUL & PURE VOICES, SO INCREDIBLE!
The only gift I want for Christmas is to have my whole family back together. I leave it gods hands. I am praying each day for miracle. without him my Christmas won't be complete
Them some cold ass white boys... My ultimate favorite version of I'll be home 👏🏽
I know I have commented in the past. But this IS ABSOLUTELY THE BEST RENDITION of this song I HAVE EVER HEARD! AS IN EVER! Will never get tired of hearing this!

God, their voices just melt my heart. They sound so amazing together. One of the best vocalist groups across the board.
This rendition of 'I'll be home for Christmas' is what made me a Rascals Flatts fan. Very Thankful for this song:) You don't find voices like this all too often.
this song is also what made me a fan
Mandela Effect! So refreshing and calming to hear this song sung with the lyrics "You can {count} on me" Apparently all the older I'll be Home for Christmas songs i remember listening to as a kid the verse goes "You can {plan} on me". Does anyone else remember {You can count on me} being the original lyrics as well?
The Connie Francis version uses plan instead of count.
Rascal Flatts did such a great job with this song!!! The first time I heard it, it gave me chills!!!! What a sweet, and beautiful sound! I thank God for giving me ears to hear this tune!! Thanks Rascal Flatts for thrilling alot of people!!! God Bless!
get me chilling

It's July and I don't care. Favorite Christmas song and favorite holiday.
+divinehensley ...diddo
5 days before Christmas 😊
IAmKaylieee I'm listening July 2017
This song is gonna mean so much to me this year. My brother just left for ATI. God bless America
I am so glad that they did a version of this. I love Rascal Flatts. This has become a new favorite for me. I never heard the song before this video.
this was my first Christmas away from PA since I've joined the NAVY... it was rough but thank the good Lord for my supportive family
IMHO no other singer or group has ever performed this song as moving and emotionally stirring as RASCAL FLATTS does here.
I love how we can just listen to their voices without the instruments. They've got such beautiful voices! :D
No autotune needed. These guys have a God given talent
I found this when my dad was deployed to Iraq. It just popped up on my recommended and I listened and made me wish he was home. Luckily he is home now and hasn't been deployed in 5 years. I dedicate this to my daddy
God bless men like your dad. And tho you may not know me, please thank him for his service for me.
Mariah Brodie I most certainly will. Thank you.
Braliegh Buckner
I second that. We must never forget the sacrifices that our service men and women make (or have made) for our country on a daily basis. God bless them all. Please give my best thanks to your father for his service as well. #MerryChristmasEveryone
Oh Thank God! I've been listening to other artists, like Sinatra. Crosby, Elvis...the songs are saying: you can PLAN on me.
What is going on??
Rascal Flatts you never disappoint ❤️
Justine Payton lol right

Like if your listening to this, no where near Christmas.

Eric Loche dude their just talking ND bringing up something to at least pass the time
I mean its October...one of the late months😂😂😂

This is my favorite Christmas song by Rascal Flatts ♥️💯♥️🎵🎶
Underrated track.

That is a Bad-Ass 3 part arrangement!
Really nicely done too!

Merry Christmas 2023 from Canada to everyone Hope you enjoy this as much as I do
I love how they put the opening in the middle. It's a great way to mix it up. As always, their harmonies are tight. Great version of a classic.
Yes, it compliments the song really well =), always puts me in the Christmas cheer mood ^_^ , happy holidays to you :D
I moved away from my hometown about a year ago to go train to be a fire fighter.
I just found out i will get to go home this Christmas.
Listening to this song brings a tear to my eye. nothing i want more in this world than to go home.
Rascal Flatts, I love it. Keep it coming guys.
this is crazy. how the heck can something on this fallen earth be so beautiful?? gives me hope
Their harmonies are second to none. Brings a smile to my face every time I hear this song. Flawless!
It was 1967, two days before Christmas. My unit was on some God forsaken hilltop in Vietnam. It was drizzling rain. Somewhere in the distance we could hear this song playing. Never did know if it was the radio or a record player. All of those rough, tough GI's had a far away look in their eyes and most of them had wet eyes but not from the rain.
I still get far that away feeling in my gut when I hear this song.
You guys need you more acapella music especially for the Christmas holidays
right
So sad they broke up. Miss them.
I love that they sing this song. I cry every time I hear it bc its so beautiful.
This was my song to my gramma i live a state away and made a promise to her to come see her in the hospital on christmas.. and i did and she died a week later on new years.. i miss her so much so i will listen to this all year long .. love you gramma hess....love u always kerrie
There's never a wrong time to listen to a Christmas carol!
This song will tear you apart if you are far from home and cant go home
Wow.... Just wow!!! So beautiful! Love hearing this every Christmas!
Ya'll are Awesome! This is one of my Favorites!!!!
Best Christmas song. EVER. They should play it on the radio year round!
Wow!!! A voice! Smh whew!!!
This song always reminds me of my dad as I lost him when I was 10 years old and I always thought I was living a nightmare and at any given moment he'd be walking in the door. He's been gone 35 and a half yrs now. He always loved Christmas.
Lisa Merry Christmas 🎄 your Daddy will always love you .

This is perfection.
I listen to christmas music all year long...This is the best version of this song. Love Rascal Flatts!!
I did 3 tors in Iraq and every Christmas my entire unit would get together and sing this song. Thank you boys for doing this.
Gail use to sing to every year around Christmas. I still remember the time he almost did not make home. He drove for over 7 hours in a Snow storm just to be with us.
My trucker makes it home every Christmas...so thankful!
