- LYRICS:
Distant stars, at home up in the heavens.
Wonder what they see, are they watching me?
Christmas Star, you spin your strands of silver.
What a sight to see, are you there to guide me?
Star light, shine bright.
See me through the dark night.
Light my pathway,
Guide me home for Christmas Day.
Midnight stars, they sail the sky in silence.
Hearing all they see, are they hearing me?
Christmas Star, you watch the world so wisely;
At my journey's end, will you be my true friend?
Star light, shine bright.
See me through the dark night.
Light mine, half way;
Guide me home for Christmas Day.
Christmas Star light,
See me on my way.
Light mine, half way;
Guide me home for Christmas Day.
I hope that everyone who’s listening to this while going through a dismal and lonely christmas will find themselves in a happier place next year.
You too ❤
Some people enjoy their time alone tho. It’s not for the weak
Thank you ❤
Awww😊
@@1SwiftAngelaright lol how you doing?
John Williams just casually composes a christmas song for Home Alone which is better than many of the top Christmas songs.
Tom Cork for real. The man is a genius. There will never be another like him.
So true
Tom Cork God yes. So true!
Tom Cork a Christmas song that I listen to year round! This song has been with me a long time !
This song has it's own Personal Magic! I've been in love with it since I was a kid!
This song hits directly in the feels man,even as a child hearing this while watching the movie I would feel something on the inside and now I’m 29 and I still get that same feeling. Music is timeless
You not alone brother....
I'm 27 Grew up rough but this song brings back all the beautiful memories All the snowy Chicago days man
It's so beautiful wow made me remember so much I so quick I almost can cry
I eat mdma to this once. Children choirs, stars, the warm embrace of the silent, cold night... Christmas is magic
damn right brother.
Same hear bro. It almost brings me to tears.
It's a nice almost haunting melody, stirs up emotions for me as well. Christmas comes and goes far too quickly
I was an orphan for some time in my life, the only family I ever knew for a short time in my life where the other orphans I was with in an orphanage. Until the day I was told I had an older sister who was coming for me. I remember watching this movie with the other kids during Christmas Eve right in the scene where Kevin is looking out his hotel window and this song is playing one of the caretakers came and started talking to me and revealed the news, I wasn’t paying much attention to her until she spilled the big news then everything just felt weird but in a good way. There will never in my life be a better gift than when I found out I had a relative a really close one to be exact and that I wasn’t alone. When my sister came for me the next day on Christmas Day it was the greatest day of my life. Her and her husband(technically my brother in law but I call him pops) adopted me and raised me as their own son. I don’t even know why I bothered sharing a part of my life story on a UA-cam comment section but it is what it is I hope everyone is having a great holidays!
Thank you for sharing. Happy Holidays to you and your family
I’m not crying listening to this song and reading your life story 😢😢😢
God gave you that gift!!!
This is beautiful! Thank you for sharing! You told your story so vividly, I was right there with you the whole way! Albeit, I saw it in Buddy’s orphanage with the same nun as a nurse from Elf in my mind while I read your story, but still, thank you! Merry Christmas!!
Bro you had me tearing up. Have a good Christmas this year. You’re an awesome person
Petition to play this in malls instead of "All I want for Christmas is you."
im in
Yeap
Yes please!
Yes please
They actually do
I think this is the best Christmas song
Lol me too
it is!!!! hands down
yes eventhough it didn't become big... like songs like ''silent night''... but its up there imo
Yes it is....love it
In 2019 it will be for me
This song just makes me cry. I always think of my late mother who loved Christmas. I wish I could see her beautiful face right now.
I lost my father this year, it's my first Christmas without him. Happy holidays to you
You can. Look in your heart ❤️🥲

I hope you’re doing better
I am sitting here, tears streaming down my face, listening to one of the most beautiful songs ever written. Reminds of little children, innocently playing at Christmas time.
Look for, somewhere in my memory
Same for me😢😢😢😢
None of the songs today can compete with songs written thirty years ago and even earlier. :( I feel soul in this song.
As an 80s toddler and growing up in the early 90s, this is the most magical Christmas song to me of all time.

Same.
Kevin: “Goodnight mom”
Mom: “Goodnight Kevin”
Kevin & mom: (both staring out at night to a star worried).
😥 gets me every time
Also Kevin waving to the kid in the children's hospital
Mr. Duncan: “All the money that’s in the cash register will be donated to the Children’s Hospital”
Marv: “At midnight tonight, we’re hitting Duncan’s Toy Chest!”
Kevin: “You can mess with a lot of things, but you can’t mess with kids on Christmas”
I just started crying and I wholeheartedly blame your comment. 😭
@@live4marilyn *insert music here*
Mom: Say goodnight Kevin!
Kevin: Goodnight Kevin
The "will you be my true friend" part always kills me.
Ikr
It really does... I always think of my people that have passed away. I hope they're watching over me. ❤️
EXACTLY
Ok so it's not just me
I don't celebrate Christmas but I love the Christmas though
I pray that everyone who is going through a rough and lonely holiday season will find themselves in a better place next year. May you be guided through the long night.
Amen to that
Makes me want to cry...
Home Alone is all about emotions!
I’m watching HA2 and crying now
me too!!!
ME TOO
Mozman1985 Me too. I’m watching it now
Soon as this song kicks in, I’m back in the 90s experiencing Christmas through a child’s eyes again. Magic.
yes 🥺💕
Omg yes!!
This song hits so different. Arguably the best Christmas song ever written.

Gotta be one of the best Christmas songs ever written.
Who is listening to this beautiful song in 2019 ?
This is one of the best Christmas song ever
My favorite christmas song, ever!
Me
The song gives me the excited feeling I always had the month before Christmas. Now I’m 17 and time flies and this song makes me nostalgic and sad and a bit happy at the same time. At this point I want to be a child again
Me
Im listening this now at hospital.. Lying down on my bed beside the window.. Getting ready for my surgery tomorrow.. Wish me luck whoever read this.. Thanks..
You got this, you’re strong! ✨❤
Hey, my surgery went well.. Still on recovery tho.. Hope everything went well from now.. Thanks you so much..
You okay pal? I hope it went well..
@@birthdayboyblam. It went well.. But my hemorrhoids come back.. So my big brother lost a lot of money to help with my surgery cost.. All i'm saying is, the surgery goes for nothing, bc i got this hemorrhoids back.. I.. I dont know wht to do now..
@@phiebenny4764 Wonderful 😀
2020 anyone?
i know it's hard time we can get through this don't worry💕
I listened to this song a lot last year. But this year it has a whole new meaning...❤️
@@stirlingite5554 samee
This song is the favorite list songin my Christmas time. 😊
Jesus give strength to all to fight this virus. 💯🙏🤲
Virus aside. We should always be good to one another. And I’m an atheist btw.
I don’t know how to explain this but all I can say is that when I listen; I feel like it is taking me to a distant land or place that only my soul knows about. I really cannot explain the feeling any more or less.
same... :')
- from Indonesia -
I totally understand what you mean.
I have the same feeling; each of us in our own place:)
It’s the harmony. It’s ambiguous but always returns to home.
I just don't know how John Williams does it. Everything he writes just sounds so perfect for the genre and mood he is accompanying. I thought this wonderful piece was a traditional American Carol, but of course, he wrote/composed it. So Christmassy, so innocent and childlike, SO beautiful. John Williams is an icon in American Music.
Mrphilharmonic
Yeah man! For sure! I love all his music especially his Star Wars music too!
Merry Christmas
Check out Catch Me if You Can. The soundtrack is incredible.
Don't forget the lyrics of Leslie Bricusse.
Same. I don’t know how he has such an amazing ability. Lets take a moment to thank him for bringing this and SOMEONE IN MY MEMORY!
I just had to put that all in capitals because it’s such a beautiful song
I’m a huge fan of classical pieces and I’ve said that in spite of the terrible music we have in todays modern age we actually live in an era of SUPERB classical and neo-classical composers
This is a perfect example of the genius of John Williams. One of the most beautiful Christmas songs ever composed.
This song manages to be uplifting and depressing at the same time.
the depression part is perhaps when you compare your life now with when you're still young happy kid...
@@NikiWonoto26 Facts
Makes me tear up every time I hear it
@@NikiWonoto26 Nah there’s a sombreness about it that really gets to you. Though the cheery nature of it gets to you just as much.
Also it probably isn’t helped by the fact that when this song came on it was in the more serious moments of the film, ie when he’s thinking of his mother and the scene at the children’s hospital.
I think you're sortof right. It's got a weariness to it that reinforces the uplifting part. It's a sleepy sounding song for those who want peace on Christmas.
Kevin: Good night, Mom.
Kate: Good night, Kevin.
I don't care what anyone says. I loved the second movie. Maybe it's just nostalgia, maybe it's because I'm a native New yorker. I can still watch that movie today and get some enjoyment out of it.
I liked that movie, too. You're not alone.
Good Night Mom Good night Sweetie💖❤️💘💖❤️💘💖❤️💘💖❤️💘Love you
menslady125 merry christmas
I used to wonder why he didn't say good night to his dad :P
amazing song makes me feel ...... Can't explain it
Elsword Seiker pussy
I know... This is late, but it's that time of year again. This song makes me want to smile cry and get a cup of hot chocolate at the same time, I could listen to this any time of year.

Same happened with me 2 weeks ago ❤
I sob uncontrollably when I hear this song. It makes me miss my mother, so much. She passed in 2019 and Christmas was her favorite holiday. I still vividly remember watching home alone and home alone 2, every year with her and loved this song, ever since. Merry Christmas ❤

Covid can't stop the Christmas Spirit. Merry Christmas everyone ❤
the best Christmas song in my personal opinion. no other song embodies the magic, innocence, and purity of Christmas like this one. It also feels nostalgic, painful, and contemplating. Definitely brings up a complexity of emotions which is rare in any piece of music. The flute fluttering in between each pause is the cherry on top. It really makes the song and elevates it from a musical perspective. So beautiful in every way.
Bless Jesus Christ the season is about him,love and family
I don't know what it is about this song but everytime I hear it I burst into tears it's so beautiful Christmas time is such a wonderful time. celebrating the birth of Jesus
Humble Beauty it really is,I listen to it on a daily and just mentally float through the stars
Humble Beauty
Amen🙏
The lords birthday is in 4 months
God bless you and Merry Christmas my friend
Humble Beauty Did you know that at the very beginning of Christianity they considered that birthdays were "pagan" celebrations? It was only a few centuries after the supposed death of Jesus that Christians decided to choose dates for the birth and death of Jesus. December 25 was the day of Sol Invictus, the "Unconquered Sun", a Roman deity, who corresponded well to the image they wanted of the son of God. Also, December 21 is the pagan festival of Yule, feast of light. Many Christmas symbols do not come from Christianity but from the pagans: this is what we call cultural appropriations...
@@leocadieux6781 Did you know that people with your sour grapes attitude are a big part of what's wrong with the world? December 25 may not be the actual birthdate of Jesus, but it is the time when Christians have set aside to commemorate God's great act of mercy and love in sending His Son to bear our sins and die in our place. Now I know you think all this is hogwash, but I hope.someday your eyes will be open and you will see the truth. Until then though, just be aware that there are alot of us who refuse to have the joy of the season snatched away by cold cynics.
Long live the king of kings
This song makes me sad it takes me back to a simpler time when I was a kid and I dreamed of so many things in this world
Yessss
I am home alone listening to this masterpiece thinking of the wonderful Christmas time I had with my grandparents. They are not here anymore but my memories will be here till I will go as well.
Merry Christmas to everyone!
I love you Grandma 🎄
Makes me want to cry everytime. Such beautiful music.
lamont946 John Williams can tell a story with his music. He’s amazing. ☺️
So magical and I cried whenever I listened to this song. Every year I came back to this.
Merry Christmas 2019 here!
Me too. 😪
Same here! Every Christmas Eve night I listen to this right before I go to sleep.
Oh. My sweet summer child.
Merry Christmas! 💗
This feels like Christmas. When I worked in nursinghomes, lots of residence watched their old black and white movie over and over and over again. I get it now. That will be me watching home alone 2 specifically. The first one is good too obviously but the second one with the city and people and clothes and no cellphones just feels so nostalgic
I love reading through the comments and seeing how so many of us feel the same way when hearing this song! It’s magical. It brings back so many memories of my childhood and loved ones. I love it. Thank You Lord. ❤️🙏
pov: you’re having the time of your life in new york city. a covid-free and a safe world we live in. you’re in your comfiest christmas pajamas, in your hotel room in the plaza hotel, with a mug of hot chocolate and marshmallows in your hands. your room is decorated in christmas decor; lights, garlands, tinsel figurines, you name it. you even have a christmas tree too. the view from your room is stunning; snow falling and the city lights shining. you’re watching your favourite christmas movie on the tv and you’re cuddled up and warm in your queen sized bed. you have plans for christmas shopping tomorrow. life is good. amazing even.
Merry Christmas everybody! 🖤🎄
Merry Christmas to you and your family and friends. Love this song 🎵
Heard this driving home on the radio for the first years ago. I literally began to cry
those quiet voices bring tears
This kind of song makes me think about a long gone era of a time when people really cared about togetherness. I can imagine hugging a friend in peace while singing along to this song. I would do anything to have that kind of love in my life again.
There's a sweet melancholy to this.
john williams ,,, you are amazing. such a great composer
Wish this was on Spotify! My Christmas playlist is incomplete without this song!
It’s so heavenly... reminds of good old days...
Young and innocent
Why am i crying now :') ,,, so inspiring i wish i would see christmas and see snow in christmas ,, there is no snow in my city ,, much respect to 80's and 90's people the best years ever ,, respect and much love from cairo-egypt
This is THE GREATEST Christmas song
Such an underrated Christmas song, hits so hard emotionally.
This song should remind us all... of the innocence of being a child....
and how Christmas is seen by them
🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
Lost my dad last year to cancer....he love home alone so much..playing this song bring me tears this Christmas ...being a 90s kid he use to show us this movie during Christmas on vcr...miss u pa
Greatest Christmas song ever
Makes me think of the people traveling on their way to see Jesus in a manger and the Star is guiding them to him 😌
Oh the fairytales people believe in.
@@FlyNavy2004 this song is what it is about. Don't celebrate it if you think it is just a fairytale
That’s very sweet
Yesss❤
@@FlyNavy2004 what’s wrong in believing in something?
Its a calm, clear night in December and your alone driving down the road lit by many bright stars in the sky.
This song gets me teary eyed for some reason.
It sounds so innocent and pure. My favorite Christmas song of all time 🎄
this song brings me back with heavy emotions. it brings me back to when I was young and innocent. life moves too fast. this song can really make you depressed when your feeling down.
I know know what you mean
This brings back so many wonderful childhood memories. I love this movie. The soundtrack is magic. Merry Christmas, everyone💚❤️
Merry Christmas 🥰😇😇❤️
It can't be Christmas without my home alone movies
Im crying rn, im having an anxiety attack, and this calms me down even though its not christmas:(
Stay strong, brother
It doesn´ t matter if you are not religious. You can ask yourself what you can do to become yourself that star that shines through the lives of those people you love. What can we do for them, to make their lifes better? Every little action counts. Every gesture, every smile or offering or favour or little sacrifice. I am a high school Arts teacher and that is the message I am asking my students to write in their Christmas postcards this year: What can you do to brighten other people´s lives?
This song inspired me the topic. I am in love with this tune since childhood. It brings memories from other happy times and brings light and joy to the heart. We have to thank mr Williams for such amazing masterworks during these decades.
Merry Christmas everyone
Irene García I celebrate Christmas but I’m an atheist. I celebrate it because at the begining it was a pagan celebration...

Thank you for that comment. Very true and warmed my heart. Merry Christmas
@@leocadieux6781 thank you for your comment. I knew a bit about the pagan origins of this celebration and it´s always nice to refresh the memory about them. Very interesting facts!
2:03 Those horns are so beautiful.
What?
I agree. That part always does it for me.
@@FRElHEIT do you not have ears? Lol
I hope John Williams never dies
Dachelle Watson With his music, not a chance
That’s going to be a very sad, sad day.
I just heard this song for the FIRST time yesterday and it somehow encapsulates everything I've always dreamed about Christmas. Don't know how he did it, but this song is even better than Somewhere In My Memory.
This song gives me such a melancholy sound that I listened to it on Christmas day after my boyfriend (I'm in a long-distance relationship) didn't respond to my birthday message or phone calls, he told me he had had a full day with the family and he forgot to wish me a Merry Christmas and I have never felt so alone in my life.. I hope that next year I will reread this message and have someone close to me who truly loves me. ❤️
John Williams' gift for using musical emotion and imagery is why I consider him to be among the Great Masters.
You close your eyes and you can see the stars glimmering and their light serenely cascading down. You feel the peaceful tranquil love and joy in your heart.
He didn't just write a 'christmas song', he wrote a song that EMBODIES Christmas, Christmas itself in the form of music.
And he ALWAYS does this.
Omg you high man, high on Christmas spirit.
My soul is crying
Still finding the beauty in this timeless melody........February 2024
Christmas is coming near folks, embrace them, feel them, repeat the sounding joy!
makes you feel like a kid at Christmas again , a magical and uplifting Christmas song
Talk about a flashback into my childhood listening to this song...Oh my....
This song makes me feel at peace
A beautiful, and somewhat haunting Christmas song. John Williams is the master of creating a musical score that perfectly marries and inspires any film.
This song always put me in tears....🥰❤😭😭
This was always my favorite song in both movies. John Williams nailed this
This will be the 2nd Christmas that I will celebrate without my dad. He passed away on 9/14/2021. I truly miss him. 💔 When I listen to this song, I imagine my dad, looking down at me, like a shining, bright star. ❤
makes me cry. Now that I'm thinking about it, too, haven't watched Home Alone in ages.
I thank you, John Williams! I thank you with all my heart! Your wonderful music accompanied me through my whole life! Home Allone, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Schindler's List, Jurassic Park, The Patriot, Catch Me If You Can, and what not! All those movies would be nothing without your music! I am so glad that Star Wars Episode VII will contain your music, too!
Very well said. John Williams is beyond legendary.

In memory of my friend Michael P. 1982-2020
To everybody on youtube, back in 2020 my best friend Michael who likes the first 2 Home Alone movies, I dedicate in memory to him. I used to hang out at his house for 20 years until he passed away in 2020 and now his spirit is in heaven.
Michael was a music conductor in training while he was still alive in his house and started getting good at conducting music at his church. But now he's likely conducting this song in heaven. Also, I wish I could meet John Williams and thank him for this best Christmas song because now I can no longer hang out with my best friend Michael anymore since his body is in the grave.
A big hug to you from Uruguay, and to your dear friend in heavens, as well...🥲🙂
I dont care if you have done bad on life, crime, murder or anything else. I'm glad you changed your life around. For that, I am proud of you
This song, it represented so much for me. I listened to it when I was a kid, as everyone, after watching home alone… it seemed beautiful and sad at the same time. As I think of it, I hear sadness nowadays. I will forever love you Leonie.
it gets very hard trying to find great, great holiday music. i am so glad i came to finding this again. if not for my love for the season this song would be lost to me for all eternity.
I agree
This needs to be on Spotify.
this song is the real CHRISTMAS ✨
I think this is by far one of the best Christmas songs yet ❤️😩
Singing this in choir for our Christmas concert 😭
nah that must have been beautiful bro
This song is so beautiful, so peace and full of love.
It makes me happy listened this song, Merry Christmas guys.

Open letter to my future kids, keep the spirit of this song alive don't ever let it die.
I’m from the future…your kids say this song lives on…Merry Christmas!
So much more enchanting and beautiful than any commercial crap produced in the past twenty odd years
John Williams was a musical magician,.....producing some quite unforgettable scores to some great movies........a true master of his trade
John Williams music is timeless. He is Still A Great Musical Genius at 90 years young now. One of the Best Musicians & Conductors Of All Time for all generations to enjoy🎼 🎵 🎶
You know, it bring joy to my heart to see a comment section that isn't full of hate especially during these times. At this time Christmas is one month and a couple days away. So merry Christmas to you all and I hope your holidays go great
