  • Meanwhile Justin Bieber's Christmas song gets millions of views. What's wrong with this picture?

  • TENHO VONTADE DE CHORAR

    ❤*•.¸¸.•*❤ 

  • The dislike bar disappeared! Whoo-hoo!

  • I think I have a man-crush on Josh Groban! LOL! How can I not admire his tremendous musical talent? He sings so beautifully, and plays the piano so well too. I wish I had gorgeous hair like his.

  • Just listening to this would push me to explore the beauty of NYC.

  • Josh lives in NYC? He was born in Los Angeles, so I thought he lived over there.

  • @zucchini2007 He lives in NYC for the time being, although commutes obviously, for recording.

  • @eternallyawildflower I like wild flowers. :-)

  • @zucchini2007 i thought he was Canadian?

  • @sillyjontag321 No, Los Angeles is in California. Not Canada, lol.

  • @zucchini2007 haha yeah I know silly, lol i was watching a video that Micheal Buble and josh groban were in and Micheal was talking about Canada and i assumed Groban was from Canada also. but i looked groban up on wiki, he is from LA

  • It's really amazing song. Unfortunatelly, I've never been in New York, but now, after I hear this song - it's one of my dream.

  • Dear Joshua; Thank you for this song, it is beautiful and my all-time favorite. Thank you.

  • This is the first song I'm going to listen to/sing when I get off the plane in New York in January:)

  • makes me want to go back to New York, but during X-Mas time ^__^

  • U are Amazing Josh! :)

  • this song remind me how beautiful my hometown is around christmas time

  • click like if Cristina Scabbia sent you here\m/\m/....awesome song

  • Ugh this just breaks my heart. Beautiful!

  • beatiful voice of romantic wall

  • I'm juste enjoying it !!! Thanks Josh

  • I'm a little uncomfortable that one of the top comments on this beautiful song are advocating hate. I am strongly against the hate agenda Westboro perpetuates, but despising people on a youtube page seems to be encouraging their message.

  • Brilliantly written song! It's both happy and heart-wrenchingly sad at the same time.

  • I visited NYC during Christmas time last year. And I swear this song just fits the atmosphere of that place so perfectly.

  • i LOVE New York! i would move in a minute if i could. this is a great song!! ;-)

  • He played it live!!! I was so happy, and it was so beautiful and I'm still stunned about how good it was... *melts*

  • Josh Groban gets me excited in ways I can't say on a family service such as youtube.

  • What a voice! Satan has never been born a Jew but Josh is and Christ is. The chief mischief hates them. We should remember that the almighty HE created these beautiful voices, and these should be in use properly. That is to sing praises to the only Creator, the only He!

  • @rcarlomagnus LOL

  • i love Josh Groban's voice. It brings me peace no matter what is going on

  • very nice video!!! Which program did u use?????

  • Absolutely beautiful! 

  • 0:00

    instant coziness (:

    

  • One day, so i been told new york is amazing, i will visit there.

  • Josh is that rare combination of a good, humble soul with a God-like voice. Keep it that way kid!

  • Just visited New York and I loved it. I no longer think it's cursed. Can't say enough nice things about Josh Groban, the man is my idol.

  • Saddest song of all...

  • @montsyblackmadonna I think your sorrta pathetic and cant help but wonder why your commenting on his vidoes let alone looking at them. if you think he "sold his soul to satan" then why do you care? have a wonderful day :)

    p.s. please find god. i pray that you may find a soul to sell

  • I thought it was "Wait right here, AWAKE with me"

    But something tells me Josh would know better than I would... =P

  • i think you are the best singer performer ever please come bak to cincinnati love you velvet

  • JG (as well as we) knows there is just something so magical about NYC, that there is no explanation, no words to describe the feeling the city gives us!

  • I get to see him in concert tonight. I think I might spontaneously combust.

  • @JessyKuehne I'm surprised I haven't! ... I'm having a hard time believing it was really him that ran past me 3 times during the concert :) (Vancouver)

  • Makes me want to visit NYC in the winter!!!

  • @montsyblackmadonna you should watch esmeralda's song from the hunchback of notre dame.

  • Beautiful song. Remind me of 1 of my biggest dreams, to see Rockefeller Christmas Tree with the snow all around. Gosshh this vid make me wanna cry and i blame Josh for that lol.

  • Josh Groban's father was Jewish and Mother was Christian. When they married, his father converted to Christianity. He is a Christian.

  • 15 people can't hear the bells.....

  • @beforeyousneeze I'm confused. What does being LDS or "Mormon" have to do with it?

  • @montsyblackmadonna While Josh was born Jewish, if you truly listened to him, you'd realize he has a Christmas CD and in Christian now. Even if he isn't, his actions are kind enough towards everyone that you aren't justified in judging him and saying he's evil just because he's a different religion than you. Please, do more research about the next celebrity you accuse of being satanic.

  • My mom loves your songs, and so do I. Awesome job Josh Groban!

  • Seriously, someone explain to me all of the hate talk. Groban represents Satan?

    Seriously confused. Where are you guys getting your information. Is there a place I can go to get his belief system. I know Josh moved to NY because his girlfriend is there and because of all of the opportunity for a voice like his. What am I missing.

  • Sorry but have I majorly missed the point in this beautiful song?? Why is everyone banging on about satan and god and gay marriages and abuse??? It's a song, not a bloody doorway to some underlying dark, philisophical epiphany!

    <3 to Josh as always!

  • New York is now cursed by God, for allowing gay marriage. Josh Groban is a gay enabler, and is going to hell!

  • @GrandInquisitor7 = Fred Phelps Zombie = Child Abuse Enabler = Military Funeral Stalker = Cafeteria Christian = All round judgmental, arrogant, self righteous asshole.

  • @montsyblackmadonna well listen up crazy no body cares what about what you say...shut up and enjoy the music. if you have some problem with it then go rant about it where people actually care because here, nobady gives a damn about the shit you have to say.

  • @MidnightMoondapple You can say all that nonsense but it doesn't change the word of Almighty God! Josh is an agent of the antichrist and satan himself! Josh is more subtle than those blatantly satanic ghetto and pop artists, which makes him even more dangerous. When Josh performs this song it is not to honor God, but to pull in ignorant souls, like the pied piper!

  • @montsyblackmadonna SHUN THE NON GROBANITE

    *shuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuun*

  • @MidnightMoondapple You can say all that nonsense but it doesn't change the word of Almighty God! Josh is an agent of the antichrist and satan himself! Josh is more subtle than those blatantly satanic ghetto and pop artists, which makes him even more dangerous.

  • @montsyblackmadonna Barney Rubble is the antichrist!

  • @GrandInquisitor7 just because he thinks one way and you think another way does NOT mean that he is going to hell!

  • @LokiJokey Excuse me, dummy. It has nothing to do with my way, but with God's way!

  • @GrandInquisitor7 That isn't God's way, dummy! seriously, you really need to re-examine your whole perspective.

  • @GrandInquisitor7 oh yeah, and your channel says that you are a so-called "God warrior". warrior=soldier, and the WBC hates soldiers. what you are saying is that you are a soldier, even though God hates soldiers! Double standard, dummy!

  • @GrandInquisitor7 Josh Groban makes me tingle in places I can't say on a family service.

  • @Grandlnquisitor7 You are in breach of temrs of service for impersonating my channel!

  • @GrandInquisitor7 You are impersonating a Grand Inquisitor. 

  • I hope watching this song on this channel gives Mr. Groban some money and not just his record label. This man loves his profession, and deserves the recognition for it.

  • Someone explain to me why everyone is bringing up the morman thing. I don't get it. Not that it matters, but where is the connection.

  • Just saw him in concert yesterday!This song and the whole show was awesome!

  • This is the first time I've heard this song. Makes me long to be in NYC where I once lived. Those days were so full and rich; now locked away in my memory. But even though I know there's no going back to that earlier time, there's still an ache in my heart just to be in NYC, again. I haven't been to any other place, except Paris, that has so much to offer,

  • Josh Groban, every time I listen to your songs, they gives me chills and makes me cry, because your voice combined with the beautiful lyrics and just the music and everything combined just is amazing. You inspire me, my best friend, adn pretty much every person who wants to sing.

  • At the ooo part i was expecting o's to go across the screen xD

  • @HatashiLuvsU It's nice to know I wasn't the only one thinking that XD

  • @ThiefHinomoto hahaha XD I still enjoyed it very much, I just thought the o'd would've been a funny touch

  • The imagery is very striking, and the music and melodies fit so well with it.

  • He is a wonderful singer and has the more beautiful songs

  • this is sooooo on my i-pod

  • Bells of Equestria calling me LOL

  • whoever is clicking dislike have big issues.

  • so, let me get this straight. you want me to wait with you on a cold new york street at night? are we waiting for our doom? 'cause i'm fairly certain we will see it. quickly.

  • Josh is one of the few artists now-a-days who can sing! i mean he sounds JUST like he does on his CD. no dubbing or anything. that's why i love him :) ohh and he's pretty cute too .. ;)

  • @greyscalerainbow101 He is not just pretty cute!! He is FREAKING ADORABLE!!!

  • I just saw this live about an hour ago! HES AMAZING!!!! :D

  • Love it- Since I started listing to Josh's music five years ago, there are always the certain songs of his that bring me back to different times in my life. When I was a freshman in high school, Josh's album 'Awake' came out, and the song Mai will always remind me of beginning an amazing four years. Now with 'Illuminations', this song will always remind me of freshman year of college and hopefully another amazing four years. Excellent song and video!

  • Is this considered a Christmas song?

  • super euphonious!!

  • spell BEST- J-O-S-H . . . there!

  • EPIC. Josh, you're awesome. I live in cali but this is just so perfect. How can he live everyday with this depth!? It's exhausting lol I remember the first time I saw him on Ally Mcbeal singing. He is the same age as me yet preforms like someone twice his age and experience. such a talent. I'd love to see him live one day.

  • Beautiful

  • Another fine song with his wonderful voice..

  • My school's drama department went to NYC in December. I played this song on my iPod as we were pulling into and out of the city. :)

  • the powerpoint is beautifully made

  • Just came back from New York yday to Ireland, depressing to say the least lol :(

  • what a great video!! congratulations to the makers!

  • i looked at my itunes library today and it said that i played this song 982 times. the other songs havent even passed the 100 mark yet.

  • Now I'm looking for Josh Groban singing "Bells of NYC," and they play an ad for a country singer. Hello? Do they really think that's the right demographic? What happened to targeted ads?

  • @straightarrow372 lol i know right?

  • None of the damn videos will play tonight

  • Hónapok óta szinte csak az Illuminations CD-t hallgatom oda-vissza!

    Nem tudok betelni vele!!! Amazing!!!

  • i love this song but not better then dont give up

  • sorry josh groban i don't want to be mormon

  • @beforeyousneeze who says he wants anyone to be mormon??? just asking and btw he isnt mormon

  • @beforeyousneeze Josh isn't mormon, this song has nothing to do with the mormon religion! and whats wrong with being Mormon?? I'm mormon! O, and its called the CHurch of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, not just Mormon.

  • obviously JG is wonderful. It would have been nice to see him in it..:(

  • I've broken the play button from pushing it too many times...Sorry everybody. XD

  • @montsyblackmadonna if josh groban is satan...i'll gladly go to hell ;)

  • @singingforthesoul22 You are awesome. What you just said has now become one of my favorite quotes.

  • @singingforthesoul22 Satan has never been a Jew but Josh is and Christ is! LOL

  • I love classical music like Josh...

  • Youtube is a nest of excrement, it is quite rare to listen to something made with superb criativity and quality as this movie is.

    Of course you are not JG, however you deserve an award for creating so beautifull mounting. You are, indeed, quite creative. Keep doing these marvels. JG, another marvel,and us, his admirers, we all deserve them.

  • love it

  • Beyond Beautiful!*~

  • Love this song I've heard a few times and each time I like even more than before...

    Love the melody to it and the video is just a great... Love the way josh thinks

  • Josh Groban :) Gratulálok fantasztikussan gyönyörű dal :) Köszönöm :)

  • Great music-----Great song

  • @montsyblackmadonna = Racist skank that proudly claims all gays should be executed. Fred (the child abuser) Phelps Zombie. Brainwashed waste.

  • @montsyblackmadonna Oh for goodness sakes. Don't you have a life? Stop trolling and let us listen to the music. It's not going to bite you.

  • @montysblackmadonna

    You are one persistent troll. If I didn't know any better, I would even say you defend your case like a person possessed...

  • Love this song and love Josh.Thank you God for giving us this amazing artist and person.

  • guys, don't feed the troll

  • I hear this strange mixture of Hunchback, Stephen Sondheim (IDK why....) and that song in Hercules "Go the Distance".

  • does this song remind anyone else of the Hunchback of Notre Dame?

  • @Lizard819 I thought I was the only one, lol.

  • @Lizard819

    Bells of Notre Dame.

  • @montsybalckmadonna wtf really? propaganda what propaganda? if yu hate this horrible filthy sinner so then why the hell are you searching out and listening to his music??? grow a brain dumbass, dont like, dont listen....i cant WAIT till you burn you little demon.

  • Thank you Josh for your uplifting, soul-stirring, and heart-melting songs. Your music has made life so much more beautiful and is a breath of fresh air of decency and self-respect in the music world.

  • oh, this song gives me chills <3 <3 <3

  • so glad you moved to n.y c. the bells called you and i am so glad you answered......true to heart love story,,,,,beautiful as usuall,,,

  • though i'm only 15, i love the city and have plans to move there as soon as i finish college. we spent a day there over christmas, and one day in the city beat out 9 years of living in the suburbs (i lived in philly when i was little). anyway, when we first got out of the lincoln tunnel, and got into the city, i was listening to this song. i listened to it for the first time since then yesterday, and immediately burst into tears. i swear the bells call me, and i can't wait to finally answer

  • @xTEAMxEDWARDx19 Awesome that you want to live here in the city, but set your feet firmly on the ground and be prepared for a high cost of living.

  • Like the flute. Awesome voice as always!

  • This song sort of reminds me of The Hunchback of the Notre Dam Disney movie..

  • This is one of my FAVORITE songs off this albulm. If Josh is not my future husband, I'm going to be a very disappointed bride. haha =)

  • Josh, you are so cool. Not only do you make music for us to listen to, you even post behind-the-scenes videos, interviews, and even lyrics... Thank youuu. :)

  • Anyone else thought of the bells of Notre Dame?

  • My fav on the new album!!

  • lol. "on silent snow filled streets"?, since when are nyc streets silent, josh? :) anyway, great song.

  • @nida2192s Between 4-6am. Ghost town baby. Even Time Square is eerily empty.

  • I love to hear Josh sing, and I love this song.....regards P in Aus.

  • His voice, his music, it's better than amazing. I could listen to his CD all day, for the rest of my life. It makes everything more peaceful.

  • I got this CD for Christmas from my friend. I took one look at it and screamed, "OMG IT'S JOSH GROBAN'S NEW CD!!!!!!" My family froze and gave me weird looks. They obviously don't understand... :)

  • @TwilightPsychopath I got his CD too, though it wasn't the new one. I opened it, started laughing like a maniac and screaming "IT"S JOSH GROBAN!!!" My mom's like "Is that the guy you were listening to yesterday? He's boring" She REALLY doesn't get it. lol :)

  • Josh sang this wondrous song live on 'This Morning', I think on 14 December. Is it possible for anyone to upload it?

  • In my most humble opinion, I do believe this to be the best song on JG's new album. Beautiful lyrics mixed with incredible music and of course Josh's breathtaking voice make for an astonishingly haunting and memorable song.

  • Comment removed

  • DOES ANYONE KNOW THE TIME SIGNATURE FOR THIS SONG???

  • @123mooa It sounds like it could be in Three Four, but I'm not entirely sure

  • @Zajenforte To me it feels like 6/8 and then the oooh-oooh-oooh seems like 3 measures of 5/8 followed by 1 measure of 6/8, then repeated and back to 6/8 (with rubato thrown in here and there). That's my guess.

  • I've been on NYC last march. Nine months ago and I still cry every time I hear or see anything about this city. It's magical and I miss it so much. Seven days I will never forget. Thank you Josh for recording this and you are very right when you say that "the bells of New York City" tells us to stay.
