Mr. Stevie Wonder - Thank you for all of your support along the way. You have truly been there for me since Day 1. I am so grateful that we have been able to reconnect. You are an inspiration to all of us.
+Andra Day I can't believe that you are only 30 years old with that rich voice. I look forward to a long career full of great music. Keep singing with that passion.
+Raygen Brown She sure does!!!!!! I first saw this commercial the day after Thanksgiving, my family and I were watching an old, classic holiday movie, and I didn't know who she was until my found out her name!!!
I cry when I hear this song. Please, God, may all wars end and there be peace. I hope people with different values can join hands and live with smiles.
This song never fails to move me to tears. It's so full of hope and promise that is sorely needed nowadays, especially around the holidays. Stevie is a nation treasure. Thanks for this gem.
The most awesome Christmas song.......so appropriate for the times we live in right now. So beautifully performed. Thank you Stevie Wonder and Andra Day!
It’s a bittersweet song. So full of hope, but the line “maybe not in time for you and me” can make me ball. Stevie Wonder was like 18 years old when he first sung this. It’s nearly impossible to imagine peace these days.
I remember the commercial version of this song. It was in a much simpler happier time in my life. My parents were still alive. I was still living at home with my daughter and my now ex wife. Since then my life has changed a lot and very quickly. Much more than I would have preferred.
"Someday At Christmas" Someday at Christmas men won't be boys Playing with bombs like kids play with toys One warm December our hearts will see A world where men are free Someday at Christmas there'll be no wars When we have learned what Christmas is for When we have found what life's really worth There'll be peace on earth Someday all our dreams will come to be Someday in a world where men are free Maybe not in time for you and me But someday at Christmas time Someday at Christmas we'll see a land With no hungry children, no empty hand One happy morning people will share Our world where people care Someday at Christmas there'll be no tears All men are equal and no men have fears One shining moment, one prayer away From our world today Someday all our dreams will come to be Someday in a world where men are free Maybe not in time for you and me But someday at Christmas time Someday at Christmas man will not fail Hate will be gone and love will prevail Someday a new world that we can start With hope in every heart Someday all our dreams will come to be Someday in a world where people are free Maybe not in time for you and me But someday at Christmas time Someday at Christmas time
Williams Oki I don't want to seem particular but at the last part they're saying "someday in a world where PEOPLE are free" it's kind of an important part of the song because it's progressive of people who have been oppressed throughout history because black men are equal to white men but woman are still oppressed and discriminated to this day all around the world. That's part of what I find so fascinating and beautiful about this song, how the subtle differences make the meaning so in depth and vivid.
Williams Oki these lyrics are the most relevant of the current age we are in. Sad how this beautiful world has been ravaged by strife, segregation and sleaze; caused by we humans. Beautiful, beautiful interpretation by Andra Day and Stevie Wonder.
Someday at Christmas men won't be boys 언젠가,사람들이 다시 과거로 돌아가고 싶어하지 않을 크리스마스 Playing with bombs like kids play with toys 아이들이 장난감을 갖고 놀듯, 폭탄을 가지고 놀죠 One warm December our hearts will see a world where men are free 어느 따뜻한 12월, 우리의 마음으로 모두가 자유로운 세상을 볼수 있겠죠
Someday at Christmas there'll be no wars 언젠가, 전쟁이 없을 크리스마스 When we have learned what Christmas is for 우리가 크리스마스가 무엇을 위한 것인지 배웠을 때, When we have found what life's really worth 우리가 진정 삶에 가장 가치있는 것이 무엇인지 깨달았을 때, There'll be peace on earth 비로소 지구에 평화가 찾아오겠죠 Someday all our dreams will come to be 언젠가, 우리들의 꿈이 이루어 지겠지요 Someday in a world where men are free 언젠가, 모두가 자유로운 세상에서 살겠지요 Maybe not in time for you and me 우리가 살아있지 않을 때의 일이라도, But Someday at Christmas time 언젠가, 올 크리스마스엔 그렇게 되겠죠 Someday at Christmas we'll see a man 언젠가, 크리스마스가 되면 우린 한 사람을 보겠죠 No hungry children no empty hands 배고프지 않은 아이, 비어있지 않은 손. One happy morning people will share Our world where people care 어느 행복한 아침, 사람들은 서로를 돌봐주는 이 세상을 함께하겠죠 Someday at Christmas there'll be no tears 언젠가, 그 누구도 눈물 흘리지 않을 크리스마스엔 When all men are equal and no one have fears 모두가 평등하고 모두가 두려움이 없겠지요 One shining moment, one prayer away 어느 빛나는 순간, 어느 기도가 사라지겠죠 From our world today 오늘날, 우리의 세상에서 Someday all our dreams will come to be 언젠가, 우리들의 꿈이 이루어 지겠지요 Someday in a world where people are free 언젠가, 모두가 자유로운 세상에서 살겠지요 Maybe not it time for you and me 우리가 살아있지 않을 때의 일이라도 But someday at Christmas time 언젠가 올 크리스마스엔 그렇게 되겠죠 Someday at Christmas man will not fail 언젠가, 실패가 없을 크리스마스 Hate will be gone and love will prevail 미움은 가시고,사랑이 만연하겠지요 Someday a new world that we can start 언젠가, 우리 모두가 다시 시작할 세상, With hope in every heart 모두의 마음에 희망이 가득한 세상을 말이죠 Someday all our dreams will come to be 언젠가, 우리들의 꿈이 이루어 지겠지요 Someday in a world where men are free 언젠가, 모두가 자유로운 세상에서 살겠지요 Maybe not in time for you and me 우리가 살아있지 않을 때의 일이라도 But someday at Christmas time 언젠가 올 크리스마스엔 그렇게 되겠죠 Someday at Christmas time 언젠가 올 크리스마스엔.
Love this song, Stevie and a lot off his allbums. There will be only peace in Earth after the return off the King off peace, Jesus. It is good that we strife for peace, but we need more than ourself. We need the endless flow off love from God.
This is absolutely Beautiful!!,...Mr. Wonder and this absolutely Beautiful woman expressing both their talented vocals together in a heartfelt touching song,...Bravo to both these 2 lovely people,...No doubt, you can't get any better than this❤!!
Give you joy to make you sweet, give you a smile to make you radiant, give you many good things so that you will always be my dear friend! May this Christmas be so special that you will never feel alone again and always have your loved ones by your side.
Wow I read your post just in time....DECEMBER 5, 2019, I’ve been feeling the Christmas spirit so strong this year. I was thinking of this song today decided to search and listen and found this and it is perfect for this season.♥️
The weather is always cloudy Sometimes, it becomes dark clouds and tears keep falling. . . But I won’t give up Because. . . There are still so many things I want to try *Someday all our dreams will come to be*
Pahh i come here every year to listen to this beautiful song and remind myself of what truly matters in life. Wishing everyone on this planet a peaceful and reflective Christmas season.
This wonderful song reminds us to never give up hope or the effort to make the world a better place by working caringly ❤ We need a song like this more than ever. Thank you, Stevie Wonder and Andra, and everyone who put this sing and video together for such beautiful music and message.
This is truly my favorite Christmas song. It makes me tear up because there is so much going on in the song! It comes out in 1966, two years before Dr. King's assassination and the peak of the Civil Rights movement. The song is like living black history, like Donny Hathaway's "Someday We'll All Be Free." These are more than just songs to me--they are like gospel. It has only been 54 years since Someday at Christmas--maybe two generations removed from the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. IT WASN'T THAT LONG AGO!! The "maybe not in time for you and me" is so poignant and acknowledging of how societal change is rarely achieved overnight but seeds of hope for a better tomorrow are planted everyday. As frustrating as it sometimes is being black, I am buoyed by having the unique experience of having our music and artistry convey deeper resonance and meaning because it comes during an ongoing period of real struggle that gives it an urgency few people will experience.
Well said. Thank you for writing and sharing your memories Breezy about Stevie .So many memories great songs Steve any many other Brothers and Sisters wrote and sung in 1966. I was a great fan if American Bandstand also. Those days are but will never be forgotten.
I had no idea that this song was so old. Why hasn't this been played on the radio more often? Unfortunately, it's still so timely. Thank you for the context. You have a good Christmas and a healthy and happy 2023.
You know growing up in the 60s it just wasn't Christmas unless little Stevie Wonder selling this song he was so touching and loving it makes me cry as years go by in our great singers are constantly leaving us but one thing I can't say Stevie Wonder to you and your family we love you God bless you thank you for your magnificent talent God bless you this Christmas 2022
This song brings me to tears. Someday I hope we have the vision the Stevie wrote and sang about here. Peace, kindness, lack of world hunger, much love to you all.
When this song came out I was overjoyed to see that someone else has created their own christmas song as truthful as John Lennon's, should have know it would be Stevie "Wonderful" Wonder. Bless ya Stevie and your amazing music xxx
I felt so unhappy and depressed nowadays, feeling nothing is working out for me. This song made me cry and made me believe there will be a change from now on. 🙏 Hope all of u have a merry christmas
Given the state of the world, the wars happening abroad between Russia/Ukraine, Isreal/Gaza, and with the USA's creeping involvement, this song is so relevant all these years after Stevie first recorded it.
It's nearly impossible to go wrong with Stevie- old or newer, but this remake is fresh rythimically, and is taken to another level with Audra's raspy vocals that intensifies the message of the song.
3 minutes and 34 seconds that can change your views on the beauty of life, family, and friends you haven’t met yet. Thank you Ms. Andra Day and Mr. Stevie Wonder, for sharing your talents with the world.
Stevie Wonder is a poet, prophet and genius musical artist all rolled into one. His music is both aspiring and inspiring. May his legacy live on forever. I'm reminded of these wonderful words of Francis Church written in 1897: "You may tear apart the baby’s rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, VIRGINIA, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding."
THIS SONG IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, sorry for the capital letters but it’s just how strong I feel for this record. Stevie wonder just leaves me speechless in every song he sings, I just hear the passion and feel the song as well as hear it. Such a talented man 💙
@philiplangan4612 You don't have to say that you're sorry!! Stevie ALWAYS need the BIGGEST words and letters!!! ❤❤❤ Beacuse he's the GREATEST of them all!! And this song is BEAUTIFUL!! Also listen to the version of him singing this as a 17-year old man!!! The ORIGINAL! You might need your capital LETTERS again!! 😊Because he has the PASSION there , as ALWAYS!!!
I legit watch this every year around Christmas time. It's like a routine by now where I start humming, and then I gotta watch this duet again. LOL Anyone else in the same boat?
I didn't get to see my family for Thanksgiving due to Covid and Work. But I'm thankful that I get the chance to see them at Christmas, it's not felt the same since my family spread across the states for work and family, but we're definitely making sure we see each other this year. Have a good Christmas everyone.
Andra. That voice is a gift from God. I saw you tonight in Nashville. My home. I almost did not go, but I am so glad I did. I knew you would sing your heart out. And you did. I told a friend last year...after I got your album (full album)...I will see Andra and Leon Bridges at the Grammys because those are the two best new artists. I saw you rise up...and saw Leon in a commercial. Old souls. Good music. That Natalie Cole tribute with Patti Austin tonight? Unforgettable. Cheers lady! I wish I had met you. Keep coming back to Nashville.
This is my favorite Christmas song I’ve always loved Stevie wonder but Andra day is WOW just an incredible voice. She so beautiful and her voice is just as beautiful. 🙏🏻♥️🎄
This actually brought tears to my eyes! I’ve loved Stevie since the first time I heard him as a child. He’s always be so special to me, far above other artists. Ms. Andra has the most electrifying voice I think I’ve heard ever! What a great combination! Beautiful! I came here from the commercial!!
I love Stevie Wonder and Andra Day. Stevie has been around all my life! His songs have been shared within my family. My Mom and Dad loved him so much. His song Someday at Christmas I hold dear to my heart. I treasure my parents' memories because of his music. Thank you, Stevie Wonder and Andra Day.
Mr. Stevie Wonder - Thank you for all of your support along the way. You have truly been there for me since Day 1. I am so grateful that we have been able to reconnect. You are an inspiration to all of us.
great song
Andra you have such an incredible voice! A classic soul, with your own unique sound. Cheering for you!
I like very much your voice!
+Andra Day I can't believe that you are only 30 years old with that rich voice. I look forward to a long career full of great music. Keep singing with that passion.

Moves me, too, like right now!! Christmas, 2024!!! ❤❤❤

Amen bro
I find it hard to believe this song isnt on normal Christmas rotation with others classics! This is such a great song.
Yeah, it should be!
There's no way
It should be, but there's too much profit in hate, in division, and in war. Someday it will be, someday...
This is my favorite Christmas song!! It blows the original (Sorry die hards) and the remake with Andra away!!
@@PsychProfWsome day is now, love.
The most awesome Christmas song.......so appropriate for the times we live in right now. So beautifully performed. Thank you Stevie Wonder and Andra Day!
Listen to the lyrics and you're know what Christmas should be like 🥺 Merry Christmas in advance....
Listening on 1st December 2024
It’s a bittersweet song. So full of hope, but the line “maybe not in time for you and me” can make me ball. Stevie Wonder was like 18 years old when he first sung this. It’s nearly impossible to imagine peace these days.
I think you mean bawl
Andra: "We swinging like that?"
Stevie: "mmhhhhmm"
HE ANSWERED WHILE SINGING && THAT RUN WAS EVERYTHING
Who you telling. I love all their talking and singing ad libs at the end and beginning of the phrases.
Awesome collaboration!!!
Haha yeah..:)
I remember the commercial version of this song. It was in a much simpler happier time in my life. My parents were still alive. I was still living at home with my daughter and my now ex wife. Since then my life has changed a lot and very quickly. Much more than I would have preferred.
The legend steveie wonder singing one of his classics with a lovely woman with the voice of an angel . It does not get any better
毎年聞いてます。
今年も聞けた！ありがとう🎄
来年も聞きます🎧❤
大好きな二人へ。
저도 그렇습니다.
Love this version. No tricks or gimmicks, just music.
"Someday At Christmas"
Someday at Christmas men won't be boys
Playing with bombs like kids play with toys
One warm December our hearts will see
A world where men are free
Someday at Christmas there'll be no wars
When we have learned what Christmas is for
When we have found what life's really worth
There'll be peace on earth
Someday all our dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where men are free
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at Christmas time
Someday at Christmas we'll see a land
With no hungry children, no empty hand
One happy morning people will share
Our world where people care
Someday at Christmas there'll be no tears
All men are equal and no men have fears
One shining moment, one prayer away
From our world today
Someday all our dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where men are free
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at Christmas time
Someday at Christmas man will not fail
Hate will be gone and love will prevail
Someday a new world that we can start
With hope in every heart
Someday all our dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where people are free
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at Christmas time
Someday at Christmas time

This song is very gut wrenching and thought provoking.
Someday at Christmas men won't be boys
언젠가,사람들이 다시 과거로 돌아가고 싶어하지 않을 크리스마스
Playing with bombs like kids play with toys
아이들이 장난감을 갖고 놀듯, 폭탄을 가지고 놀죠
One warm December our hearts will see a world where men are free
어느 따뜻한 12월, 우리의 마음으로 모두가 자유로운 세상을 볼수 있겠죠
Someday at Christmas there'll be no wars

When we have found what life's really worth
우리가 진정 삶에 가장 가치있는 것이 무엇인지 깨달았을 때,
There'll be peace on earth
비로소 지구에 평화가 찾아오겠죠
Someday all our dreams will come to be
언젠가, 우리들의 꿈이 이루어 지겠지요
Someday in a world where men are free
언젠가, 모두가 자유로운 세상에서 살겠지요
Maybe not in time for you and me
우리가 살아있지 않을 때의 일이라도,
But Someday at Christmas time
언젠가, 올 크리스마스엔 그렇게 되겠죠
Someday at Christmas we'll see a man
언젠가, 크리스마스가 되면 우린 한 사람을 보겠죠
No hungry children no empty hands
배고프지 않은 아이, 비어있지 않은 손.
One happy morning people will share Our world where people care
어느 행복한 아침, 사람들은 서로를 돌봐주는 이 세상을 함께하겠죠
Someday at Christmas there'll be no tears
언젠가, 그 누구도 눈물 흘리지 않을 크리스마스엔
When all men are equal and no one have fears
모두가 평등하고 모두가 두려움이 없겠지요
One shining moment, one prayer away
어느 빛나는 순간, 어느 기도가 사라지겠죠
From our world today
오늘날, 우리의 세상에서
Someday all our dreams will come to be
언젠가, 우리들의 꿈이 이루어 지겠지요
Someday in a world where people are free
언젠가, 모두가 자유로운 세상에서 살겠지요
Maybe not it time for you and me
우리가 살아있지 않을 때의 일이라도
But someday at Christmas time
언젠가 올 크리스마스엔 그렇게 되겠죠
Someday at Christmas man will not fail
언젠가, 실패가 없을 크리스마스
Hate will be gone and love will prevail
미움은 가시고,사랑이 만연하겠지요
Someday a new world that we can start
언젠가, 우리 모두가 다시 시작할 세상,
With hope in every heart
모두의 마음에 희망이 가득한 세상을 말이죠
Someday all our dreams will come to be
언젠가, 우리들의 꿈이 이루어 지겠지요
Someday in a world where men are free
언젠가, 모두가 자유로운 세상에서 살겠지요
Maybe not in time for you and me
우리가 살아있지 않을 때의 일이라도
But someday at Christmas time
언젠가 올 크리스마스엔 그렇게 되겠죠
Someday at Christmas time
언젠가 올 크리스마스엔.

Each key modulation brings me closer to God!
Crazy how this songs message is still relevant 56 years after release
Could this be a prophetic song? (smiles) Watching for this to come about. Beautiful song! (heart)

It's nearly impossible to go wrong with Stevie- old or newer, but this remake is fresh rythimically, and is taken to another level with Audra's raspy vocals that intensifies the message of the song.
3 minutes and 34 seconds that can change your views on the beauty of life, family, and friends you haven’t met yet. Thank you Ms. Andra Day and Mr. Stevie Wonder, for sharing your talents with the world.
Stevie Wonder is a poet, prophet and genius musical artist all rolled into one. His music is both aspiring and inspiring. May his legacy live on forever. I'm reminded of these wonderful words of Francis Church written in 1897: "You may tear apart the baby’s rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, VIRGINIA, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding."
Hopefully, one day!
내 인생에서 가장 소중한 행운이 있다면
스티비원더 옹과 동시대를 살고있다는것이다..
멀지않은 미래에
스티비원더라는 가수가 있었다
라는 시대가 오겠지..
그대는 이 세상의 모든것을
어루만져주는 목소리입니다
Who's here in 2023???
Right here.

Facts
I DON'T KNOW WHY I DIDN'T FIND THIS BEFORE.
i couldnt agree more
2019？Still the best Christmas song ever。
I legit watch this every year around Christmas time. It's like a routine by now where I start humming, and then I gotta watch this duet again. LOL Anyone else in the same boat?
The best take i have ever seen this song "someday at Christmas"
I didn't get to see my family for Thanksgiving due to Covid and Work.
But I'm thankful that I get the chance to see them at Christmas, it's not felt the same since my family spread across the states for work and family, but we're definitely making sure we see each other this year.
Have a good Christmas everyone.
Me, me 12/24/23. With all the BS in the world, this song has really spoken to me this year.
amazing duet this is what Christmas should be all about love peace and harmony in the world
Andra, you must be the greatest singer I have ever seen~!!!!!!
Here after Justin re-released this song. What an amazing song.
cried watching this when first showed on tv,,,what a happy complete family....
It made me cry too. A lovely song and a beautifully video
Derralyn White The 1st time I saw this commercial I googled it so I could watch it again
Same
Much like another icon, Dolly Parton, an artist who rises above the rest.
Andra. That voice is a gift from God. I saw you tonight in Nashville. My home. I almost did not go, but I am so glad I did. I knew you would sing your heart out. And you did. I told a friend last year...after I got your album (full album)...I will see Andra and Leon Bridges at the Grammys because those are the two best new artists. I saw you rise up...and saw Leon in a commercial. Old souls. Good music. That Natalie Cole tribute with Patti Austin tonight? Unforgettable. Cheers lady! I wish I had met you. Keep coming back to Nashville.
it’s not christmas i just love their voices and this song
This is my favorite Christmas song I’ve always loved Stevie wonder but Andra day is WOW just an incredible voice. She so beautiful and her voice is just as beautiful. 🙏🏻♥️🎄
I like how Stevie is literally arranging the song on the fly. Legendary genius!
This actually brought tears to my eyes! I’ve loved Stevie since the first time I heard him as a child. He’s always be so special to me, far above other artists. Ms. Andra has the most electrifying voice I think I’ve heard ever! What a great combination! Beautiful! I came here from the commercial!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ blarry beautiful song 😢😊😊 ❤❤❤ how is it I havent beard this before?.... she is awesome...stevie is too ❤
His words have so much wisdom, but does he, believe in them now?
This is even more relevant today.Stop the killing in Ukraine and Gaza .
I love Stevie Wonder and Andra Day. Stevie has been around all my life! His songs have been shared within my family. My Mom and Dad loved him so much. His song Someday at Christmas I hold dear to my heart. I treasure my parents' memories because of his music. Thank you, Stevie Wonder and Andra Day.
