My grandson did the same 6 yrs ago I truly feel God felt he had suffered enough. I’m sure your son is in Gods hands with no more suffering or pain. Prayers for him and your family
I am so sorry about your brother. We just lost a son. My only consolation is that now he is in a place where Jesus Christ can work with him. He loved goodness but he didn't love himself. Everyone else loved him...
Your dear son is looking down watching over you and sending you love. May you find some peace in the knowledge that he is close. I thank him for serving our Country and send prayers to you for comfort🙏🏻
My wife an I always remember our son Alex when we hear this amazing song. Alex passed away when he was just fifteen and we knew then as we know now he wasn't dead. He just went back home to our Heavenly Father. Some day we'll be reunited again because families are forever.
I have to attend the funeral of a young man who died in a freak accident last Thursday and he leaves behind a wife and two young sons and a baby on the way. I'm old and battling cancer. 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.
This was My prayer when my wife was struggling with a rare disease.. "GOD.. PLEASE BRING HER HOME...TO ME.." She passed away 3-months ago..after we celebrated our 44th-Anniversary😢.. The Good LORD BROUGHT HER HOME TO A MUCH PERFECT PLACE than l can ever offer..😥🙏
one night I couldn't stop listening to this. The next day I heard my nephew died. He was living on the streets alcohol ruined him. It brought so much peace to me and his family! Blessing!
This was my prayer when my granddaughter had to undergo an 8 hour heart operation. Thanks to God and the medical team she came home... I cry every time I hear it. Beautiful rendition.
What you don't hear in this recording is the entire 22,000 seat house holding their breath through the end, then the 3-4 minute standing ovation. It was a spiritual experience.
Hayley Bell that’s interesting because so many times in these live concerts you always hear so many coughs, sneezes, bangs and all sorts of fidgety noises. Wonderful!
My son is home but he is not... praying he will return to his true self... to his real home in his heart. My love for you son is boundless and I will always pray you come home... to your real home.
I love the fact that every time I've seen Alfie Boe perform this song, he looks like he's really praying. It feels like the words and the pain they represent are his
As great as this performance was, his performance of this song at the 25th anniversary concert of Les Miserables was MAGICAL. It also totally changed his life.
I'm an atheist, but if anything ever persuaded me to believe in God, it would be Alfie Boe's voice. It's so wonderful, truly a gift. Thank you for sharing it with us Mr Boe!
‘The heavens declare the glory of God, the skies proclaim the work of His hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they pour forth knowledge....their voice goes out into all the earth...’ Psalm 19:1-4. Oh yes. If God made creation to reveal that He exists, how much more a gift like Alfie Boe’s?
No One can persuade you more, than Jesus Himself. Simply ask Him to Reveal Himself to you. He never refuses a sincere heart. He’s waiting to show you how much He so loves you.🎚🕊 Especially before this world implodes soon. Be Blessed by His Truth in your heart.
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....
Thinking of 72-year-old Italian priest Don Giuseppe Berardelli, who died in March after giving up his ventilator to a younger person during the Corona Virus.
This is without question in my mind, the best version of this amazing song. How Alfie Boe can go from such a sweet whisper to strong vehemence is so incredible.
It was three weeks before Christmas when my older brother passed away! In 2023 ! I feel that loss still deeply and Alfie Boe's way with this - brings it home to me!
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.
Thank you for your beautifully tender story about this performance. "Music, the greatest good that mortals know. And all of heaven we have here below." Joseph Addison
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.
I’m so sorry. I hope you allow Jesus to being you His comfort like Only He can. He loves us all beyond measure. And proved it so long ago. He is our ultimate Peace. Truly, He is.🕊
@@snowleaves There is also a DVD available of the 25th anniversary production of Les Mis from the O2 theater in London. Alfie sings the lead in it. You can find it on Amazon.
I saw him perform this live in 2012. His manager was sitting behind me. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house. I had the honor of meeting Alfie. He is such an amazing and kind man. This is about as close as you get to hearing him live. Honestly a life changing experience.
To my late cousin who just passed away Christopher Teoh Pek Wai, he is young with a lovely wife & 3 small happily kids ...Gods love him more & take away from his wife and his family .....his suffer, pain and left behind a fond of memories - RIP brother!
When I listen to this song, at this time when the world is dying of COVID19, I pray to my Heavenly father to save us and for those who have died I hope they will go home to their father who created them safely. Its a hope song
I think of it for all who have left this earth. Here in Belfast a 14 year old boy disappeared last Sunday in bizarre circumstances. His body was found today. I have been listening to this and thinking of little Noah Donohoe all day 💔💔💔💔🙏🏽xxx
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.
This bring tears to my eyes thinking of all those men and women who are in the frontline fighting this dreaded unseen COVID-19... My heart goes out to all the families of our doctors, nurses and other allied medical personnel, the men and women in uniform and all the rest who comprise our frontliners... May you all be safe
Oh my God! I literally forgot to breathe for 5 minutes. This is the most wonderful thing I've ever heard. He did it with such passion, such exquisite taste. Mind blowing!
When I would accompany my husband on the piano and he would sing this, it was all I could do to keep the tears from blurring my eyes as I read the sheet music. He's gone now and I miss his beautiful voice and hope that he's singing with Alife because this was one of his favorites.
This was played at my Nans funeral. She loved this song, it's beautiful and makes me think of her every time I listen to it. Rest well Nan. We all miss you 09/04/2017
His voice soothes my heart. His expression of emotion is from heaven. May God bless him through his life! This has always been my prayer for my missionaries .
As I listen to this I pray that Our Heavenly Father watches over and protects my son as he serves our great nation in Korea. May God protect you and keep you safe Matthew I love you and pray for you daily and all our soldiers who are serving this great nation
No one can sing this beautiful song as well as Alfie Boe!!!! He OWNS this song as well as the remainder of his role in "Les Miserables!" I am firmly convinced that had they used this cast for the movie version, it would have won EVERY Oscar!!!
God on high Hear my prayer In my need You have always been there He is young He's afraid Let him rest Heaven blessed. Bring him home 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.
Finally got my brothers ashes home and putting him to rest this weekend with my dad, this is our song for him. God bless you all who have lost a family member.
I was in the audience for this concert on Sunday morning. I cannot express how much Alfie's version speaks to my soul. I often come listen to this version when I am struggling. Breathtaking.
Alfie, you have the most beautiful tenor voice I have ever heard. I weep every time I hear you sing this. What an incredible, beautiful soul you are. 🎼💕🥹🇫🇷
I'm not really a very religious person but each time I hear this song esp ALFIE BOE'S version, I feel like I'm taken to a different place; and tears just flow endlessly.
Alfie Boe gave justice to this heavenly song with his perfect pitch from start to finish! I can listen all day and night! I love the song and the singer! Hurrah!
I love that you don't have to be lds to absolutely love these songs. They just touch the heart in ways that many thing cannot. Please enjoy...everyone.
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.
Every time I watch this, it brings a tear to my eye. I love the part when he sings "If I die, let me die" with arms stretched wide like a cross, symbolic of Christ's prayer to the Father on our behalf.
I was driving about 14 yrs ago roughly and I was involved in a car accident when I was driving and my best mate died so this song means so so much to me, I wish he could come back to earth and I could die for him, I miss him so so much x
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.
I should hate this song - but when Alfie Boe sings it. I remind myself that a prayer can count! I do love it for that - and the quiet hope of better days to come.
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
Now THIS is how it's sung. I had to come and hear it sung properly after yet another popular singer butchered this masterpiece. So incredibly, beautifully sung. Thank you.
Enjoy Alfie Boe's singing and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir playing the music of Les Misérables "Bring HIm Home." Thank you so very much for this posting. I am a Vietnam veteran and was most fortunate to be able to come home safely. I can relate tothis heat-wrenching song. Gratefully, Robert S.J. Hu May 1, 2020.
I have listened to this version of Bring Him Home so many times I have lost count, and yet it almost brings me to tears every single time. The spiritual power that Alfie Boe instills into this prayer is truly breathtaking.
This is the voice of Heaven! This is the voice of deep joy and pleasure. This is the voice like deep, dark, rich chocolate! Love this man's voice....none better, IMO.
What a voice. This is my favorite song from “Les Miserables”. It brings tears to my eyes! This singer feels every word. He sings it with passion and conviction!
its not the song at all, its because he is singing with the Mormon tabernacle choir. people who dislike the church don't like ANYTHING with the word Mormon in it.
Ich habe das 10000 male angehoert. Immer wieder gaensehaut und traenen. Seine stimme ist so beruehrend. Stark, feinfuehlig und bescheiden. Ich liebe ihn.
My brother took his own life 2 weeks ago , I have chosen this for his ceremony , I hope he’s safe at peace and surrounded by love ❤
I'm so sorry for your loss. Deepest sympathy at this time. May your brother's soul rest in peace. I wish you well.
My grandson did the same 6 yrs ago I truly feel God felt he had suffered enough. I’m sure your son is in Gods hands with no more suffering or pain. Prayers for him and your family
Sorry your brother
I'm so sorry to hear that. Sending love and prayers and comfort
I am so sorry about your brother. We just lost a son. My only consolation is that now he is in a place where Jesus Christ can work with him. He loved goodness but he didn't love himself. Everyone else loved him...
My son was killed in Afghanistan in 2007.I always think of him when I hear this song.Miss him every day.love you always darling boy.Mam.xxx
Sorry for your loss.. God be with you
PRAYERS FOR YOUR CONTINUED HEALING. MAY YOU FEEL YOUR SON’S PRESENCE AND LOVE IN YOUR HEART.
Roslyn Keen - May God give you peace❤️
Your dear son is looking down watching over you and sending you love. May you find some peace in the knowledge that he is close. I thank him for serving our Country and send prayers to you for comfort🙏🏻
God bless your son and massive respect to him and your family,thoughts are with you
My wife an I always remember our son Alex when we hear this amazing song. Alex passed away when he was just fifteen and we knew then as we know now he wasn't dead. He just went back home to our Heavenly Father. Some day we'll be reunited again because families are forever.
Indeed, families can be together forever.
Have chosen this for my Dad's funeral next week. We're bringing him home and he'll be at peace with his beloved wife again xx
Perfect❤❤
I have to attend the funeral of a young man who died in a freak accident last Thursday and he leaves behind a wife and two young sons and a baby on the way. I'm old and battling cancer. 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.
You could probably fill a swimming pool with all the tears people have cried watching Les Miserables over the years.
Now a few more
Make that pool into an ocean.
Whenever I hear this song, I think of my eldest son...we haven't spoken in years...he is still in my prayers.
I Pray you get to talk to your son again one day. Kia Kaha ( stay strong)
So sad, may God comfort you.
This was My prayer when my wife was struggling with a rare disease..
"GOD.. PLEASE BRING HER HOME...TO ME.."
She passed away 3-months ago..after we celebrated our 44th-Anniversary😢..
The Good LORD BROUGHT HER HOME TO A MUCH PERFECT PLACE than l can ever offer..😥🙏
So sorry for your loss, may she rest in peace!😊❤
one night I couldn't stop listening to this. The next day I heard my nephew died. He was living on the streets alcohol ruined him. It brought so much peace to me and his family! Blessing!
This was my prayer when my granddaughter had to undergo an 8 hour heart operation. Thanks to God and the medical team she came home... I cry every time I hear it. Beautiful rendition.
I played this song to my elderly mother and it made her cry....she died a month ago and I miss her so very much. Love you Mum.
I also recently lost my mother.. just heartbreaking
Bless you. Heartbreaking. Take care ❤️x
I'm deeply sorry for your loss. May your mother rest in peace.
What you don't hear in this recording is the entire 22,000 seat house holding their breath through the end, then the 3-4 minute standing ovation. It was a spiritual experience.
just imaging that as i read it ☺
I can't help holding my breath through that last note.
+Hayley Bell I bet it was incredible. Please watch my cover on my channel
It totally was......
Hayley Bell that’s interesting because so many times in these live concerts you always hear so many coughs, sneezes, bangs and all sorts of fidgety noises. Wonderful!
I had this for my Dad😢 I so wish I could have him here with me 😭😭🫣
My son is home but he is not... praying he will return to his true self... to his real home in his heart. My love for you son is boundless and I will always pray you come home... to your real home.
I love the fact that every time I've seen Alfie Boe perform this song, he looks like he's really praying. It feels like the words and the pain they represent are his
He will be safe. My father took his 17 years ago . I had a message that told me he was safe and with god. God bless you
Get you . I sang this every nite in me head. Whilst my son my 2 year old boy was fighting cancer. 13 years on. One special young man. 🐼
❤🙏
This is the best rendition of Bring Him Home by Alfie Boe. He gave his all here.
Indeed
As great as this performance was, his performance of this song at the 25th anniversary concert of Les Miserables was MAGICAL. It also totally changed his life.
❤my Dad loved this performance. It was our song during hospice. He is now home.
i send you hugs..
I'm an atheist, but if anything ever persuaded me to believe in God, it would be Alfie Boe's voice. It's so wonderful, truly a gift. Thank you for sharing it with us Mr Boe!
Marinette Follow the feeling. God loves you.

Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they pour forth knowledge....their voice goes out into all the earth...’ Psalm 19:1-4. Oh yes.

God loves you Alicia
Alicia SAME!!! He’s amazing
No One can persuade you more, than Jesus Himself.
Simply ask Him to Reveal Himself to you.
He never refuses a sincere heart.
He’s waiting to show you how much He so loves you.🎚🕊
Especially before this world implodes soon.
Be Blessed by His Truth in your heart.
Can't you just hear the Father saying to you, "Bring them home". He loves us all so much. He wants us all Home with him and with each other.
With the simplest words you speak the ultimate truth. Thank you.
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....
Thinking of 72-year-old Italian priest Don Giuseppe Berardelli, who died in March after giving up his ventilator to a younger person during the Corona Virus.
That is truly moving. "Greater love hath no man than this"...
I'm humbled that there is this Love still out there.❤
This is without question in my mind, the best version of this amazing song. How Alfie Boe can go from such a sweet whisper to strong vehemence is so incredible.

I'm so jealous, I really am! I really can't explain how much emotions this version of the song brings me! It's definitely written for him to sing!

Thank you for sharing your comment. Every time I go back and listen, and I do it often, I cry. My heart feels the spirit so strongly.
Charleen Haugen I know the feeling :')
Alfie Boe owns this song.

I hope you allow Jesus to being you His comfort like Only He can.
He loves us all beyond measure. And proved it so long ago.
He is our ultimate Peace. Truly, He is.🕊
This is the most beautiful version I've heard of this special piece of music.
+Wren Abramo If you get a chance to see Les Mis on PBS, he sings it. It's stunning.
@@snowleaves There is also a DVD available of the 25th anniversary production of Les Mis from the O2 theater in London. Alfie sings the lead in it. You can find it on Amazon.
@@snowleaves haven't you heard Wilkinson's
He is even more incredible in person, we saw him perform Les Mis on Broadway!
Sorry, but Alfie Boe doesn't surpass Colm Wilkinson!
I saw him perform this live in 2012. His manager was sitting behind me. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house.
I had the honor of meeting Alfie. He is such an amazing and kind man. This is about as close as you get to hearing him live. Honestly a life changing experience.
To my late cousin who just passed away Christopher Teoh Pek Wai, he is young with a lovely wife & 3 small happily kids ...Gods love him more & take away from his wife and his family .....his suffer, pain and left behind a fond of memories - RIP brother!
My wee friend Maureen died age 89, and I cry when I hear "bring him home" cos I know she is home! I'll be there soon I'm 76.
When I listen to this song, at this time when the world is dying of COVID19, I pray to my Heavenly father to save us and for those who have died I hope they will go home to their father who created them safely. Its a hope song
byaruhanga john thank you for the wonderful prayer.

I appreciate your comments. Alfie Boe is indeed shining light.
Stunning
My father passed away on 5th February 2015 and this means song means so much to me. Love you Dad xxx
I am surprised the viewings of this video are only half a million, I must have watched it at least a thousand myself!
This song is proof that God exists. It just is. I can't explain why.
I aspire to sing like Mr. Boe. Nothing comes close to this level of perfection. This man has truly been given a gift from God like none other.
Jonathon Antonine does an excellent version as well
I told my children that this is the song I want for my funeral service. I want this recording recording for my services.
I think it is safe to assume that even the Choir was in awe of this performance.
My favorite!!! Hands down the best Jean Val jean. His voice is just special
This bring tears to my eyes thinking of all those men and women who are in the frontline fighting this dreaded unseen COVID-19... My heart goes out to all the families of our doctors, nurses and other allied medical personnel, the men and women in uniform and all the rest who comprise our frontliners... May you all be safe
xoxoxooxoo pray for our lovely blue planet....
❤
Anybody who doesn't, like this, their taste is all in their mouth. Just beautiful.
I agree!
Oh my God! I literally forgot to breathe for 5 minutes. This is the most wonderful thing I've ever heard. He did it with such passion, such exquisite taste. Mind blowing!

I lost my older brother and this song brings back memories of how much he is missed!
God on high
Hear my prayer
In my need
You have always been there
He is young
He's afraid
Let him rest
Heaven blessed.
Bring him home
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.
Finally got my brothers ashes home and putting him to rest this weekend with my dad, this is our song for him. God bless you all who have lost a family member.
When my husband died and later when I picked up his ashes, I heard this song in my mind ... I did 'bring him home'.
Missing my Dad tonight.This performance really helps.
I had the great fortune of seeing Alfie in Les Miz on Broadway. An experience I wil never forget.
I was in the audience for this concert on Sunday morning. I cannot express how much Alfie's version speaks to my soul. I often come listen to this version when I am struggling. Breathtaking.
I was not there
One of the best voices in the world is singing a anthem from heaven
Alfie, you have the most beautiful tenor voice I have ever heard. I weep every time I hear you sing this. What an incredible, beautiful soul you are. 🎼💕🥹🇫🇷
I'm not really a very religious person but each time I hear this song esp ALFIE BOE'S version, I feel like I'm taken to a different place; and tears just flow endlessly.
I love les miserables
I love all musicals
God loves you Mr Turtledove.
If you ever heard Michael Burgess sing this song, you would never doubt there is a God.
Hard not to think of the Savior when listening to this song. What an incredible voice.
Alfie Boe gave justice to this heavenly song with his perfect pitch from start to finish! I can listen all day and night! I love the song and the singer! Hurrah!

Nothing, no one dies, we just change form.
This should be the tune we all listen too in regards to the COVID -19 situation
This is an incredible example of why we need our live theatre back! 2020 the year the lights went out on the marquis all over the world! So very sad!
I love that you don't have to be lds to absolutely love these songs. They just touch the heart in ways that many thing cannot. Please enjoy...everyone.
Nothing beats his 25th Anniversary stage version, but this wonderful to listen to.
This song was used for my grandad funeral as he loved this song. Was so emotional and everytine I hear this song, I think of my grandad 💔💔
Ex mechanic from Blackpool. That's why my Dad loved you. And this is why this song played him out when he said goodbye. God bless 💖
My Grandfather and I used to sit in the sunlight and listen to these classics. On a Saturday afternoon. I miss him so much
I'm obsessed with this song right now!!! ❤♪♫
WOW!!! I love it!!!
+Aliza Boyce me, too...
+Aliza Boyce Bet you still are kiddo :-)
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.
Every time I watch this, it brings a tear to my eye. I love the part when he sings "If I die, let me die" with arms stretched wide like a cross, symbolic of Christ's prayer to the Father on our behalf.
"Wherefore, Father, spare these my brethren that believe on my name, that they may come unto me and have everlasting life."
many symbolic happenings during this Marvellous story by Victor Hugo! Do read it if not already!
I was driving about 14 yrs ago roughly and I was involved in a car accident when I was driving and my best mate died so this song means so so much to me, I wish he could come back to earth and I could die for him, I miss him so so much x
So sorry.
Let Jesus bring you His Peace.🎚🕊
This song has a very personal meaning for me. In tears and thanking God for my son.
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.
AMEN. A HEAVENLY VOICE. HE IS SO GIFTED N SPIRITUAL. WHAT AN INCREDIABLE GIFT TO THE WORLD!!!💕💕💕🌈🎇
Just amazing,im not religious but when i hear a voice and song like this it actually makes me think that maybe their is a God
This song got me through a deployment and back home to family. Beautiful singing and instruments
He has an amazing voice register and control.
what an amazing song, still to this day makes me cry, so touching and moving.
Alfie Boe is the man who can only ever sing this song he is amazing
heard a local choir sing this last night and I'm obsessed with it the words are absolutely amazing wow xx
I should hate this song - but when Alfie Boe sings it. I remind myself that a prayer can count! I do love it for that - and the quiet hope of better days to come.
Every Parent who ever had to say goodbye to a child, said this prayer.
I love this,every time I hear him I want to cry.He's my favorite Jean Valjean.
This rendition transcends this world.
I've never cried at a song before hearing this...absolutely beautiful...
wow his falsetto is flawless! beautiful performance
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
Well he did play Valjean in the actual production. So of course he is absolutely fantastic at this.
He's a true high tenor. His range is up to at least c. He had to train to deliver the baritone parts.
Beautiful and so emotional. I especially love it when an opera singer can sing softly.
Interesting, your observation. I was just thinking the same thing.
My dad played this all the time before he passed away for my brother who died 20 years ago. I hope they are together now x
Now THIS is how it's sung. I had to come and hear it sung properly after yet another popular singer butchered this masterpiece. So incredibly, beautifully sung. Thank you.
This song made me touch the heaven. God gave us a gift with this incomparable voice and prayer
Enjoy Alfie Boe's singing and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir playing the music of Les Misérables "Bring HIm Home." Thank you so very much for this posting. I am a Vietnam veteran and was most fortunate to be able to come home safely. I can relate tothis heat-wrenching song. Gratefully, Robert S.J. Hu May 1, 2020.
There is no getting over losing one's son.
Breathtaking. Simply breathtaking.
I have listened to this version of Bring Him Home so many times I have lost count, and yet it almost brings me to tears every single time. The spiritual power that Alfie Boe instills into this prayer is truly breathtaking.
This is the voice of Heaven! This is the voice of deep joy and pleasure. This is the voice like deep, dark, rich chocolate! Love this man's voice....none better, IMO.
What a voice. This is my favorite song from “Les Miserables”. It brings tears to my eyes! This singer feels every word. He sings it with passion and conviction!
So wonderful! Touches my heart! I saw some thumbs down, they must have been watching something I wasn't !

Jealous tenors?
How can they give thumbs down to this ?????
its not the song at all, its because he is singing with the Mormon tabernacle choir. people who dislike the church don't like ANYTHING with the word Mormon in it.
Ich habe das 10000 male angehoert. Immer wieder gaensehaut und traenen. Seine stimme ist so beruehrend. Stark, feinfuehlig und bescheiden. Ich liebe ihn.
