Chris Rea ~ Driving Home For Christmas (1986)

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 ธ.ค. 2014
- This great song by "Chris Rea" was first released in 1986 as a non album single, but it was not until 1988 that it got to number 53 in the UK singles chart, and it re entered the UK charts in 2007 where this time it made it to number 33. i think this is a great song and should have been a number 1 hit..While i am here i would like to take this Opportunity in wishing all my friends and subscribers a Happy Christmas and the best of luck and good health for the coming new year...

I'm here in 2023. Dec 24th. Merry Christmas to whoever may read this. Just discovered this great song this year! So good. Love and Mercy to everyone in the world. Every single person, regardless of your beliefs. Lets all tell the politicians, and all folks who are harming others. Enough ! Please ! Live and let live.
thanks -where in the world are you?
Thanks John!!!! Same here. How did I miss this lovely song!!! 😮
Is anyone else listening to this in 2023-2024?😂
Every year🎉
Yes
Sure
Sure of course
Only thing that keeps me going. It's april.
My brother drives truck part time from his main job now and then to help a friend's business and to make a little extra money for he and his wife and four daughters at home. He was coming home for Christmas a couple years ago (Good Story!) and he had it worked out that when he got two miles from home in his truck, he texted me to gather everyone around the TV and I played this for everyone. At the end of the song....my brother was heard driving down the long driveway and up to the house in his truck to the happy screams of his daughters...it was just a really cool thing for everyone and especially for a guy who'd been gone for 5 days who made it home for Christmas with his family. Just thought I'd share a very special moment with this song. Merry Christmas everyone.
Thank you lovely story and HAPPY CHRISTMAS to you all
Beautiful. Merry Christmas 😊😊😊
God bless
Merry X-mas!
Merry Christmas
Who's here in May 2024 anyone? I don't normally listen xmas songs this time of year, but I have been historically learning about The Great Chris Rea.
Fun Fact. Chris was skint and his wife was him driving home for Christmas and as he got home and opened the the door, there was a letter on the floor with a big fat cheque in it for his legendary 'fool if you think it's over ' song. Hence the reason for this song. Love it.and love him.
Who else is listening to this on Christmas day 2023. Merry Christmas everyone ❤ Australia

This song was a favorite of my dad in the 1980s. Fast forward thirty years and he and I are driving during a mild snow and this song comes on. He starts singing it and I'm in tears...you see my dad, at that point, was suffering from end-stage Alzheimer's; he didn't even know who I was. He had all but forgotten how to speak in simple sentences. But when this song started playing, it's like the lightbulb came on and he started singing, not missing a single word. This song will always hold a special place in my heart!
Beautiful memory Steven, this is quite a tear jerker, peace and harmony to you my friend . Merry Christmas and a Happier New Year.
@@derekbond3512 Thanks, Derek - and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours!
Merry Christmas everyone and a happy new year! also to your dad

What a beautiful memory, I have tears in my eyes. 😢
Dear Steven, I wish you and your family all the best, merry Christmas and a happy new year.
God bless you all, stay healthy and take care of yourself ...🎄🎁❤️🎄

Merry Christmas to you too🎄
This song always reminds me of my late Grandad… We lost him back in Feb 2022 and this song has been hard to listen to… Until about a week ago when I went to visit his grave. I told him what had happened in my life since he left us and apologised repeatedly for not being there at his house the day he passed (I was at school). I left with tears streaming down my face whilst hugging my mum. We got to our car and drove out of the village… We decided to put on some Christmas music, and coincidentally, this is the first song that played… We both laughed and teared up, thinking my grandad had to of been listening to me and remembered me saying how I thought of him whilst this song was playing. I can finally listen to this song with a smile on my face again… Love you, Grampy! And I hope you sit with us to the table on Christmas Day, complaining how the gravy isn’t like water, just how you use to love it…🥹💞🙏🏻
Somebody in september today here????
Yes! 🖐️
Christmas is coming! 😂
I'm ready for Christmas
Me myself l
I used to drive home for Christmas every year to see my father. I used to play this song every year in the car with big anticipation of meeting him and the whole family. Now he's passed away 2 years ago and all I have is "a thousand memories" of good family times with my father... And "I sing for you, though you can't hear me"...
I'm sorry for the people who became sad reading this comment. Christmas is the time to be jolly. Merry Christmas everyone and a happy 2023!
My father died in 2018. I don't know where I would have been in life without him. In memory, our dads are still with us R.I.P.
@@FarmersAreDummies Amen
How many people are listening tonight for 2023 Christmas Eve?
As a truck driver, today this song gets played in the truck. Running solo back to depot, and see family. As for the truck, I'll see that next year 👍🏻
I'm listening with extreme pleasure today but it's 20 April 2023. It's still a wonderful song sung only by Chris Rea x

Joyful christmas to you as well dear @MMM75928 🤗
I'm very sure I have heard this song before in past Christmas, but I just don't remember it. This year I cannot get it out of my head. Here it is the end of January 2024 and I am still listening to it nearly everyday. It reminds me so much of my husband who died in 2015. Christmas was our favorite time of the year, and I miss him so much.
Well it’s October 2022 and I’m listening to this classic Christmas song
same lol
главное он человечища, музыка без границ
And me ......👍🇬🇧🤓
Believe it or not, Christmas season and everything about it is special including Christmas songs. Every Christmas i play this song over and over, i can't get enough of it. I love the tune.
😉👍👍👍👍
Exactly 👍👍
This song really is it. Visiting loved ones from near and far. Even if we just imagine it.
i finally found it, after more than 14 years searching for this music that i heard on the background of a talkshow, finally found it
2023 from Germany. Peace for the world.

Just leaving my 95 year old mom 's house. I had to fill in today to relieve her caregiver who was sick. Love my mom, but it was a long day. As I got into my car to drive off this song came to mind😊
Bless you for being there for your mother! I pray that you have a Merry Christmas!
Einer geilsten Weihnachtslieder die ich kenne. Er ist schon 36 Jahre alt aber immer noch ein Ohrwurm und für mich wird er es immer bleiben. Vielen Dank Chris Rea dafür.🎧🎷📻🎸🎀🎄🎆🎇🧨🎉🎊
Weihnachtszeit ist die beste Zeit mit ein wenig Schnee. Chris Rea ist einfach fantastisch mit diesem wunderschönen Weihnachtslied. Den habe mindesten 2 mal in Paris ind 2 mal in München gesehen. Sooo schön!
Ja ist mein absoluter Lieblingsweinachtssong🥰Nur das wir mit dem Lied meistens in den Weinachts Urlaub starteten. Also verbinde ich dieses Lied mit schönen Tagen im Schnee.✨️🎄❄️⛄️
My tradition is playing this song in the car after my last shift before Xmas,did it this morning after a nightshift lol,and will do so for as long as I live 😂
Hah gay
Last week I drove 2.200 kms to home... finally, after almost 6 years my family together again.
I had this song in my head the whole drive...
Wow! Where did you drive to and from?
Es ist das schönste Weihnachtslied gleich nach Wham❤❤❤❤
Chris Rea has made himself immortal with this...this song will still be played at Christmas in a hundred years...definitely...today...one day before Christmas I listened to the extended version a hundred times while decorating the tree. ..must be easy...!
My No 1 always ❤️
Yes. I love this and 'A Fairy Tale in New York'.
10 seconds into this and I am magically transported back to Xmas Day 1988, listening to this gem on the radio.
If a time machine existed, I would go back to the 80s in a heartbeat.
Who's with me ?
*raises hand*
was 86 lol
Take me with you to the 80s best year of our lives julie xx
Count me in. I would love to go back in time. Maybe if we all concentrate really hard.....
Merry Christmas to everyone from Upstate New York!
and prayers for a peaceful 2024.
I am with you! I am praying for a better 2024. Merry Christmas!🎄
Happy February to all you crazy Christmas loving people I’m still listening are you stay safe take care ☃️🎄xxx

This song reminds me of when I was a truck driver for a company TMC. I was was on my way home from my last run Christmas Eve listing to this song. Well, I was home almost every weekend when I was working for TMC. That Christmas when I was home, I found out my wife was pregnant with my little girl. This little girl is now 14 and the best thing along with getting married to my wife that has ever happened to me! Merry Christmas everyone!
Thank you. Merry Christmas

A MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU MY FRIEND AND MAY THE NEW YEAR BE GOOD TO YOU. 🎄✌️😎🏴
Listening to this gorgeous song in 2023!!!! My favorite line, “Driving home for Christmas with a 1000 memories.” I think my all-time fav memory was surprising my parents one Christmas Day. Had my mom on this phone asking her what her favorite Christmas song was. With all the noise from siblings in the room with her and dad, she answers, “Oh, honey, I don’t know.” “Well,” I answer her, “Mine’s always been ‘I’ll be Home for Christmas” and walk around the corner of the kitchen to have her turn around so, so surprised!!!!! I loved it!!!
Merry Christmas! Have a blessed last week in 2023!❤ Greetings from Austria
Merry Christmas from Vorarlberg 🎄
Just when you thought you heard every song of the 80's. Beautiful song & scenery to match.

My dad gave me a christmas card which was playing this song last year. He died of cancer this august so now I'm listening to this and thinking of him and I know I will cry today... I just had to write this.
Merry Christmas to everyone and appreciate that you can be with your family. Sending love!
(And I'm sorry for my English).
I am so sorry. Your dad is singing this song for you at a better place. Wish you a Merry Christmas.
Chris Rea always on the top, this song is beautyful, thi song is christmas
No one has ever talked about Christmas like him in this song. The driver next to me is just like me. Everything is said with that...
My dad and I have been listning to this song on repeat each christmas for many years. This year I will be listning to it alone. I miss you dad. Sleep well.

@@quill9105 Hey mate a Merry Christmas to you , hoping for a happier New Year from Wirral, NW UK
My 20 yr old triplet daughter passed away in a tragic car accident a few wks ago. I'm convinced she sent this song to me last night as a sign which only my family knows is my very favorite Christmas song. I started bawling when I heard the lyrics that seemed to confirm she was in heaven, i.e. "Get my feet on holy ground...So I sing for you though you can't hear me...." I miss her dearly esp at this time of year just after her death but am comforted by this song which now takes on a special meaning.
So sad for you. May your precious daughter Rest In Peace.
Stay strong....sending much love your way
Merry Christmas 24th December 2023 from japan
1986?? How the freak have I NEVER heard this song until now?? Such a beautiful song!!!!
I was thinking the exact same thing, and then I find out he was the guy that sang, “Fool, If You Think It’s Over” back in the 70s, another great song I liked.
I heard it for the first time just this year! They played it on the music system at the department store where I work. I googled it right away to hear it again.
It's such a shame they can't make songs like this any more.
It's Christmas in 2021 now and this song never gets old. Wish all of you Merry Christmas and may God bless you.
It isn't Christmas yet. You fucking dimbwit

This Christmas 2023... playing this sweet nostaligic song after our Spanish breakfast and as we get ready to go to Mass at a Church on the Medeterian coast in Spain !
.... missing the snow of Ohio ... and bibinca of Goa !
Love to ALL.
Let Peace come back to Earth.

Люди, пусть у вас всё будет прекрасно под такую чудесную музыку!❤ Люблю вас!!!❤
MILUJES ZAPADNU MUZIKU !!!
this song makes me smile and it can make me cry. It reminds me of Christmas past when my mother was still alive not too long ago. It also reminds me of all the things that make Christmas so magical to me. I remember when I was little my parents would drive all 7 of us to my grandmother's house for Christmas dinner....this song takes me right back there. I just love it so much! Merry Christmas everyone it truly is the most wonderful time of the year.
Katherine Gallagher there is no reason for any one to dislike this if anyone is reading this merry Christmas to you 😛
Thank You💕😀
