I'm American, and I only discovered this song 8 years ago. I love Christmas music, and I immediately thought, "Where had this song been all my life?" "Driving Home For Christmas" is simply magic.
Being a contractor who works away all year from home this song brings lumps to your throat and makes you misty eyed as you make the final journey of the year home. Great tune and lyrics.
Yes Dave, The last helicopter off the platform before Christmas.Pick up the hire car in the terminal, make sure nobody's stuck then set off. 400 miles to go put the radio on , this music playing........ car full of quiet blokes with throat lumps..... drive carefully 'cos we all want to get home for this one. 30 + years ago it still bring back that feeling. I always say a prayer for anybody travelling home " Drive Safe"
This song has happily accompanied me on my way home to my family for many years. First, I went back there alone during my studies, then with my husband and children, then only with my children, and now there is no family home anymore, because my parents are no longer there, and a beautiful song by Chris Rea brings tears to my eyes, inseparably reminds me with the magic of Christmas and the love of my parents in my family home.
I’m not sure, whether UA-cam let this message passing through but still... For many years, people around the world argue in which country your music is loved and appreciated the most. Well, someone could argue endlessly, but I know for sure that in Russia you are treated most specially. A unique voice, melody, sincerity, attitude to listeners, your humanity and modesty are at the highest level. Together with my spouse we were at your great concert in St. Petersburg 4 years ago, it made an indelible impression on us. You know, Driving Home for Christmas is a Russian song. Because it's connected to the road. Our roads are endless. Like a Russian soul. When you go home for Christmas or New Year's Day, your soul sings. My parents are your age, my daughter turns 8 today. And we all love your songs. Dear Chris, we love you. We wish you and your family all the best! Merry Christmas, our Dear Friend. Your music is always in our hearts.
My dad was a truck driver and never missed a Christmas with us! He was determined to be there and drove hard!! He passed away last September. I love this song because it reminds me of him!!!!!!!😘
So sorry to hear about your Dad's passing. May you find peace, and, love, and comfort in all the bittersweet memories...especially at Christmas. Again, so sorry, Julie 😔
Working as a trained nurse , I've worked most Xmas and truly seen the other side of this warm and glistening season! Fights, drunken people everywhere in the ER, abused women , road traffic collisions , endless suffering and death . . . Be careful on the roads !! Love to you always, Chris ❤❤
I'm 41 years old and I heard this song for the first time at work 2 weeks ago. I hate Christmas songs, and I completely love this song. Simply beautiful!
It is one of the most beautiful songs that can be heard at Christmas. It has musical notes that bring back special memories shared with your family and friends, I always get caught up in its musicality every time I listen to it. Thank you Chris, always in my memory.
I heard this song for the first time this year and loved the instrumental so I looked it up when I got home and played it a few nights, a good buddy of mine was coming back to the province after almost 10 years of not seeing eachother and I told him to play this song on the way there, he now appreciates it too. Good music right here. 👍
The first time I heard this song was when I came home to Ireland from San Francisco for Christmas many years ago. God bless you Chris Rea for recording it so millions of us can listen and remember…
All my life I have loved Christmas music, from the worshipful 'official' carols we sang in church, to all the pop standards from the crooners, etc. But my holiday is not complete without hearing this song. I have loved it since the very first time I heard it many years ago. Chris totally captured what it feels like for all of us separated from family by miles, or the artificial urgencies of career life, or as it was for me when I was serving in the military when my kids were small. There's something about the yearning and hopefulness of this tune that I absolutely love! Thank you Chris Rea for this new classic!
I am from a large family, my dream was to spend one Xmas in my life with all of my siblings and my children together in one location but it will never happen, all of my siblings died before it could happen, I am left with that empty dream every Xmas.
Can’t tell you how much I love this song. Sometimes it makes me cry - I’m far from family - but it’s always full of happy memories! It makes my heart glad and a happy beautiful song to sing along to! Happy Christmas this 2022, everyone!
O wish I could drive to Jamaica for Christmas but that's not possible for I pray for the plane ticket and the extra money I would need to survive 2 weeks out there
One of those songs that makes you smile, want to weep, and feel warm and fuzzy all at the same time. And one I never tire of. Thankful to Chris Rea for this nostalgic and lovely record. I play it year 'round.
I first heard this underrated Christmas Song back in December 1992. I don't know why I didn't associate the singer with Chris Rea back then. This Christmas song remained a little known gem in the U.S. Only decades later with the coming of the Internet was I able to locate the song. I learned to my surprise the song came out years before 1992. I was able to purchase the Chris Rea CD with this Christmas song on it. As I wrote, this song should have had much greater playing time in the U.S.
I love this song I live in sydney and go back to my home at phillip island every year peter and my brother would drive there peter passed away this year so my brother and I caught the bus and I couldn't wait to see the faces of my family love this song
Je me réjouis pour tous ceux qui pourront rentrer chez eux pour Noël afin d'être auprès de ceux qu'ils aiment 🤗. Je souhaite à tous les cœurs autour de la terre un très beau Noël 🥰😍🧡💛💚
This song was etched into my memory from a Bar I used to work at and it was constantly on every 4 hours or so. Nowadays it rings more true than anything as I live in a different state than my family, and every Xmas it is time when I go home and see them.
I'm a retired Chauffeur, when this song comes on the car radio I just try to get home to my wife as safely & as quickly as I can (within the speed limits) as possible. Unfortunately some don't. Take care everyone.
True to life, song ,I feel every words....I feel the Christmas spirits, just listening to this song........Holds sentimental values.....Thank You ,Chris Rea . His voice is amazing .Happy Magical Christmas, everyone.....
This song hits the nail on the head that we are all just the same, we are born, celebrate life than pass away as mere vapours. We are all the same we go through the same cycle of life we are all the same inside and outside, but our choices in life truly makes us who we are but in the end we are human beings going through the same perpetual life. The wealth that which we've worked hard to acquire and achieve as status of wealth and afflunce. When we leave this earth we take absolutely nothing with us. Love your neighbours may God bless you this Christmas 2021.
Joyeux Noël et meilleurs vœux à Chris Rea le Maestro et sa famille pour 2024 🌲🎸🎶💎. Cette chanson intemporelle est un chef d'œuvre, que de souvenirs. Merci Chris Rea et très longue vie 😊
Just classic ❤ I love driving in the snow ❤ Always back 1970 ❤ Golden years back then When we had the best songs especially Christmas Proper winter for months Proper England ❤ Proper TV. Back then Great song Great voice Into festival season Making you happy always This song ❤
Chris Rea, uno de los mejores cantantes del mundo, que voz tan varonil, además un excelente ejecutante de múltiples instrumentos y un magnífico compositor. Chris, te admiro desde fines de los 70s, cuando salió tu éxito "Fool if you think is over", y tu trayectoria siempre impecable, llena de éxitos. Saludos desde México ❤
Listening 12-18-2022 MY favorite song of all seasons. I SING AND CHANGE THE WORDS PER SEASON. Driving for Thanksgiving, Easter, etc. wedding birthday etc..,but the Original, I play all year on utube I am looking for his albums/ CD. I love the many scenes that have been done all over the world I really appreciate how they original can't be changed. I just heard this 2 years ago. I can't find this CD but I can Google it and every song. Chris Rea sings. I think,I had only ever heard one of Chris Rea's songs but I have listened to each one and love every one!!! I think Chris hasn't been given his Proper Due
Encore une année de passée et "Driving home for Christmas" est toujours d’actualité, c’est une chanson intemporelle et je l’écoute à longueur d’année, elle me rappelle tellement de bons souvenirs. Merci au maestro M. Chris Rea 💎🎸❤️💯👍
From the heart of a pure musician. Chris Rea has etched his musical legacy upon the fabric of the universe for eternity. He's a unique and gifted artist, and will live forever through his extensive oeuvre. Thank you Chris, in bringing this song, along with all your masterpieces, for the world to enjoy. Merry Christmas!
Man, the huge amount of nostalgia, this classic hit gives out, is truly unexplainable, still hits the same since its release, and theres no way in escaping it. Hope everyone has a great Christmas, and season! Feliz Natal! 🎄🎆🎁✨
This song is an absolute holiday GEM that never fails to put me in a warm and cheerful mood. This song has all the ingredients for a perfect Christmas tune and is truly heartwarming. The soothing and melodic voice of Chris Rea is the first thing that grabs your attention. His rich, sincere vocals are like a comforting embrace, making you feel like you're right there with him, driving through the wintry landscapes and looking forward to reuniting with loved ones. The song's lyrics capture the essence of the holiday season perfectly, emphasizing the anticipation and joy of coming home to celebrate Christmas with family and friends. The older I get, the more friends and family fade away, but this song always makes me feel like I'm at home, next to the fire and tree, watching loved ones mingle, drinking cocoa and eggnog. The music arrangement is superb, with a blend of soft rock and bluesy elements, which give it a timeless quality. I listen to it periodically throughout the year. The catchy melody and the jingle of bells in the background create an ambiance of pure Christmas magic. It's a song that you can sing along to with your loved ones, making it an ideal addition to any holiday playlist. It carries a universal message of togetherness and the importance of spending the holiday season with those we hold dear. It resonates with the feeling of nostalgia and the excitement that many of us experience as we journey back to our childhood homes or reunite with family and friends. This song manages to evoke a sense of unity and warmth, making it a cherished part of our holiday traditions. Definitely in my TOP 5 favorite Christmas songs. 🎄❤🎼
This beautiful song reminds me when Dad worked in PNG, he wouldn't drive, he flew, he was so happy and it was a happy time at school all year, waiting for him to come home for Christmas 🎄 what wonderful memories. Love 💕 you Dad.❤
I play this fantastic song several times a day each December in memory of my darling Edward who passed away for too soon. The line 'and I sing this song for you though you can't hear me' has me on tears always. Just a beautiful song.
I love this song! It is fun to decorate for Christmas with this song playing!!!!! Merry Christmas everyone!! Stay safe. ENJOY the REASON FOR THE SEASON!!!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!! TO THE CHRIS REA"S FAMILY!! HIS BEAUTIFUL WIFE JOAN REA!! AND HIS TWO BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTERS JOSEPHINE REA!! AND JULIA REA!!

I haven't lived in my home town for over a decade and not even in my home country for the last few years. I've always liked this song, especially ever since I could relate to it personally when traveling home for Christmas each year. This year, it gets me all teared up because I can't. Alt blir bra!
I discovered this song at a Tottus in Peru while I was eating pollo a la brasa con su wantan. It was the day before the 2024 New Year eve. Beautiful song, the chorus is one of the most amazing I’ve heard.
Doesn't matter what you sing Chris, it rocks my world and always has. You're a legend and completely unique.Sending you warmest greetings and best wishes always.
In this Era. So many people think it is Santa clause day Not Jesus Christ 's Birthday .that is very Sad they misunderstand for the true meaning of X'mas ❤You will understand all your heart soul and spirit of God's true love when you accept His Son 🤗
The utterly superbly talented Chris Rea and I know Chris has been through hell in the last few years with his health but nevertheless I wish him all the very best for the future as I know he’s strong and still performing and still producing superb classics such as this.
Love the man and his music! Been a fan for decades! And the VOICE that knocks me over every time! Happy holidays and stay safe on the roads where ever you are ! Hugs from me in a snowy Sweden 😊
Hey Chris! I would just like to add my voice to millions of others & say that your magnificent song is by far the best Christmas song ever produced. Always brings tears to my eyes. Best wishes & God bless. And a very Merry Christmas 2020! ❄️ 🎅 🎄 ❄️

Thank you Chris! You are an inspiration! No matter what time of year when I am feeling sad, I listen to "Driving Home for Christmas" and I am over my sadness. Thank you for this classic song!
It was 1992 when I heard this song over radio 5 days before Christmas. I was 21 years that time and now I will 55 next year and yet this stay in my heart when I am driving home for Christmas. Those 34 years so much had happened, I meet my girl and she is my wife now, I finally paid off my mortgage and debts. I had 16 yr old and I love him very much, this Christmas song bring much joy to my life.
27 and this I can't believe I've only just found this mastepiece. There really is such a select few that I still enjoy and this instantly became my favourite Christmas song of all time without any nostalgia I absolutely love it. Merry Christmas everyone and thanks Chris rea. well done sir

There’s just something about this song that relaxes my soul and evokes a down home feeling 👌🏾
As long as the parents are alive, don't forget to visit them. This song will be eternal. Beautiful and blessed holidays.

@@rickeycorkum3219 that's my favorite song. I'm 55 and that song was such a big hit. Also, "On The Beach" is another one.
It seems that you are a very young person!
It is one of the most beautiful songs that can be heard at Christmas.
It has musical notes that bring back special memories shared with your family and friends,

I play this fantastic song several times a day each December in memory of my darling Edward who passed away for too soon. The line 'and I sing this song for you though you can't hear me' has me on tears always. Just a beautiful song.
I love this song! It is fun to decorate for Christmas with this song playing!!!!! Merry Christmas everyone!! Stay safe. ENJOY the REASON FOR THE SEASON!!!!

I haven't lived in my home town for over a decade and not even in my home country for the last few years. I've always liked this song, especially ever since I could relate to it personally when traveling home for Christmas each year. This year, it gets me all teared up because I can't. Alt blir bra!
me too. since 1986 .. to today .. swing song all time for dance by wash up .. in berlin 1.1.2021
I remember seeing an old music video for this song years ago. It was animated.
Can’t seem to find it anywhere.
I discovered this song at a Tottus in Peru while I was eating pollo a la brasa con su wantan. It was the day before the 2024 New Year eve. Beautiful song, the chorus is one of the most amazing I’ve heard.
Mein Lieblingslied, jeden der 12 Monate des Jahres, danke Dir Chris Rea! ❤️Yeah...when i‘m feelin blue, all i got to do...hear this song from you❤️
Screw it.
I can listen to this song when ever i want.
Not only Christmas.
No pewnie.Ja słucham na okrągło.✌️❄️❄️🌲
Thank you, Chris! Wir alle, in meiner Familie mögen dein Lied!

In this Era. So many people think it is Santa clause day Not Jesus Christ 's Birthday .that is very Sad they misunderstand for the true meaning of X'mas ❤You will understand all your heart soul and spirit of God's true love when you accept His Son 🤗
The utterly superbly talented Chris Rea and I know Chris has been through hell in the last few years with his health but nevertheless I wish him all the very best for the future as I know he’s strong and still performing and still producing superb classics such as this.
Love the man and his music! Been a fan for decades! And the VOICE that knocks me over every time!
Happy holidays and stay safe on the roads where ever you are !
Hugs from me in a snowy Sweden 😊
Маэстро,
Ваши песни бессмертны!!!
Вы поёте душой и сердцем!!!
За это мы вас любим!!!

Thank you Chris! You are an inspiration! No matter what time of year when I am feeling sad, I listen to "Driving Home for Christmas" and I am over my sadness. Thank you for this classic song!
It was 1992 when I heard this song over radio 5 days before Christmas. I was 21 years that time and now I will 55 next year and yet this stay in my heart when I am driving home for Christmas. Those 34 years so much had happened, I meet my girl and she is my wife now, I finally paid off my mortgage and debts. I had 16 yr old and I love him very much, this Christmas song bring much joy to my life.
One of the best Christmas songs my grandma is dying of cancer and she likes to listen this song and she cries & we cry to love from UK.
May she Rest in Peace. May God protect her and you all! ❤️
