I honestly wish I could exchange my life for his. I've lived a full life and experienced many things, he has sons who will never know how truly amazing their father was.

    My mum died when I was just a child.... My father was incredibly hurt, as they were both relatively young, and still very much in love.... Now, as I am now mature, my Father had wanted one day, to be buried with our 'mum' ....
    And now that he too has now passed, his dream came true.... And he is now laid to rest on top of my Mum in the grave.... So now he has 'truly' Come Home....

    My parents were in the choir for 10 years. My mom told me that the reason Boe's performance was so breathtaking is because he prays as he sings, making the song his prayer to God.
    I've been going to their Christmas concerts since I was in fourth grade, but I will never forget that concert because of the moment he sang this song. It was absolutely astounding. The entire audience was enraptured and hardly dared to breathe or look away. Though it was the middle of the concert, when he finished we all screamed and gave him a standing ovation.
    I will never forget that. It was a sacred moment.

    I too lost a brother and a father back a few years due to a bad trip to San Carlos, Mexico. We received news that something had happened and I prayed that all would be well. As we continued searching for them and yet no peace for my mother and the family. During this time I was in a church meeting, searching in my soul for answers, just then a gentleman (I think his last name was Greer) sang this song. And it touched me to my soul and I couldn't hold back the tears. I wish I was with my brother and father - we did have some peace when the 2 "boys" accosted them finally spoke and we retrieved their bodies, almost 2 years to the day.. I can't bring them home, but this is very tender to me and reminds me of what my brother and father lost and our family. I only remember the last words I said to my brother, "Watch yourself." My mom has since passed and she is with her little one and with her eternal partner. I apologize, for my writing as my tears keep the screen a little blurry, what a beautiful song.

    My husband had to be in Vietnam - and he said that when he heard this rendition of “The Prayer” that -that is exactly how he felt every time he had to take his men out to do “ops,” ... his only desire was to to bring back ALL of his men with as few casualties for the others as possible ... his desire was so blessed & so obvious that men from other platoons would offer their services because they could see just how devoted to the safety of his men he was ... & also how devoted to causing as few enemy casualties as possible ... in a war that didn’t really admit to many enemy casualties ... at the time. “He always brought his men back alive” ... those were their words !!!
    “Bring Him Home” always made him cry ... he felt the responsibility and the desire to lose no one ... no one on either side ... that’s what meant the most to his men ... “Bring Him Home” was always his daily prayer ... always ...

    The truly remarkable thing about Alfie's interpretation of this song, is that it moves the audience EVERY single time at every single performance. I was at one of his concerts...He sings every word from his pores...The man could sing his ABC's and we would be mesmerized. I was lucky enough to hear him a few years ago live... this song and Rank Stranger are my absolute favorites. If you haven't checked it out... he has a few goofy videos on UA-cam singing duets... He Ain't Heavy he's my brother is phenomenal... especially when you realize he is just sitting with his legs in front of him chilling out on the kitchen counter... and the power of his voice is incredible! BTW I am a music teacher with a Master of Music in Performance so it takes alot to impress me. What I respect the most is artists who share their shining light. Alfie does.

    Let him rest

    Bring him home
    Bring him home

    He's like the son I might have known
    If God had granted me a son.
    The summers die
    One by one
    How soon they fly
    On and on
    And I am old
    And will be gone.
    Bring him peace
    Bring him joy
    He is young
    He is only a boy
    You can take
    You can give
    Let him be
    Let him live
    If I die, let me die
    Let him live
    Bring him home
    Bring him home
    Bring him home.

    When this full program aired on BYU TV for the first time I honestly just kind of had it playing in the background while I did dishes and other things. Then this performance came on. Next thing I know I am standing in my living room being brought to tears by what I believe has to be one of the most moving performances of all time.

    Over 2 years before appearing here singing this song, Boe played Jean Valjean in the 25th Anniversery Concert at the O2 Arena in London. His rendition of "Bring Him Home" still remains one of the best.

    Alfie Boe was discovered singing to the radio while he polished cars in a car factory in the North of England. This summer he will play the lead role in Les Miserables as Jean Val Jean in London's West End for the last time. This is a bucket list item. Make sure you get a ticket, as rare as they are.

      Perhaps you would know the difference between a falsetto and a true high tenor better than I. Or perhaps, knowing more than I, you know that, actually, there's no difference. If either one of these things is the case, I'll defer to you. However, if there IS a difference, I would say that Mr. Boe is a true high tenor. I have a decent falsetto. I can, for example, sing that part in "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" pretty well. Alas, however, otherwise, I was not blessed with a true tenor voice, nor was I blessed with a true bass voice: I was CURSED with a baritone voice! ;-D
