I used to always think growing up quicker would make me achieve better things than wat i had but now that im older i actually understand that i miss my childhood so much! I would give everything to have my childhood back :(
I don't enjoy christmas like I used to. Granted I'm 30 years old and the holidays don't seem quite as magical anymore. This piece just makes me see the beauty in the season once again...gotta go...I need to grab some kleenex.
Hear this song on the radio and just had to look it up...it's absolutely beautiful. It just gives me chills. I just have to believe... God has given me so many blessings in my life and I am eternally grateful. I know He will continue to bless me throughout my life and I truly look forward to it all. God bless everyone and Merry Christmas! -3
There are times I grieve for my loss of childhood, when I believed in magic and Santa. But, I look at my family and friends (and even strangers) and the love and giving they have in their hearts. I then realize that true magic is the blessings that come from God and the kindness in people's hearts. That is the true meaning of Christmas.
Guys! Dont let this song make you sad about missing your childhood. Use it instead to give other children the same thing you had on Christmas. The whole point of this song is to BELIEVE, even when you are older because "you have everything you need if you just believe" MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!:D
This comment was exactly what I needed to heart today. I was all angsty about growing up... this song and this comment made me feel so much better. Thank you, and Merry Christmas <3
It make's me upset lisening too this song because when i was a kid, love this song and i would always wake up on Chritsmas Eve and listen too it. Being a teen sucks becuase u don't
get alot and when ur a kid, i miss thoose good times when family and firends were around
to open thoose present Santa gave u and the joy on my face. I miss those good times. Josh, ur one of the best christmas song writes ever. I just wish i could go back in time and just go
This is pretty much my last Christmas before I'm an adult... It makes me sad. This reminds me of my childhood and all the Christmas magic. Makes me just want to pause time...
Never heard of Josh or his music until this morning..this was playing.103.3 Boston..and I LOVE IT! 1st grader said not only said the movie (Polar Express) but who sang it! Man, he the most beautful voice l heard in a very long time! Going to buy several of his C.D's!
@HilburnMcCormick That was a completely unnecessary and ignorant comment though. First of all i dont understand how you could have assumed i live in hell from that comment. Second, this song is absolutely amazing and the music is not synthesized whatsoever. Go and listen to one of Josh Groban's live songs. He is an amazing singer! I feel that you're just jealous.
@usasoccerman23 That "unnecessary" comment is my opinion, and just like your opinion, I have a right to voice it. First; work on your reading comprehension. I did not say you lived in hell. Second; again, that is your opinion, and I'm allowed to disagree. Now, to address your last comment; I don't eat liver, not because I'm jealous of the liver, but because I don't care for the way it taste.
@HilburnMcCormick Im saying that you could have completely worded you opinion differently. There was no need for you to cuss and use the Lord's name in vain. Also, you are the one who needs to work on your reading comprehension. First, you said that I "reside" in hell which means that I live in hell. Second, I NEVER told you that you eat liver, asked if you like liver, or whatever interpretation you had of my comment.
@usasoccerman23 Ok, let me break this down for you, since you are having so much trouble grasping it's meaning. "What a scary place that you reside". Meaning that you live in a messed up reality. Didn't say hell. "where those who do not share your views", people who do not think the way you do. "are condemned to hell". YOU, chose that word, when you told ME to go there for not having the same view as you. Hope this clears it up for you.
@usasoccerman23 Again, I'll walk you through this. You wrote, "I feel that you're just jealous." You are saying that my dislike for this song, is not because I truly dislike it, but because I am jealous of it somehow. I wrote, "I don't eat liver, not because I'm jealous of the liver, but because I don't care for the way it taste." My reply to this is what's called an analogy. Google it.
@usasoccerman23 Again, I beg to differ. In writing, I was conveying a point. The point I was putting forth, was meant to be a sharp, and brutal truth, as I see it. So in that, I chose words that amplified my feelings. For this I offer no apologies. Playing the politically correct game is something that I take no part in. Honestly, I did not come here seeking a debate on the validity of my view and choice of words, but YOU threw down the gauntlet with your first comment.
Normally it snows this time of year where I live, but it hasn't yet and it doesn't feel like Christmas time. I forgot about this song, but now that I've just heard it again, Ive gained my Christmas spirit.
love him. going to marry him. yep. such a beautiful song..such a beautiful voice. this is my song of the week on my blog! check it out (: loudren.tumblr.com
I heard this song on the radio yesterday, I thought it was beautiful. To the people who disliked it, you are HEARTLESS. Josh Groban is talented, and this is REAL music.
@FierceZappa people that dont belive, or they feel they cant, i thought like that for a little bit, but if you dont belive,.... whats there to live for?
I miss the simplicity and innocence of being a child, I remember when my biggest fear was the monster in the closet, not the thought of suicide. I remember how the world was beautiful and everyday I'd wake up happy and care free, when my looks meant nothing and my heart was full of love. I smiled all the time. Life has changed so much, all I want for Christmas this year is a young fresh mind, I want to see like a child again.
I don't care what anyone says, this is the greatest Christmas movie of all
time, with the greatest Christmas song of all time. I always listen to this song and watch this movie around Christmas time. Even though I have grown older now, and nobody else believes anymore, I still do, and I always will believe.
@MilkyWayGirl101 They don't lol. iF you look on IMDB there names are Hero Boy, Hero Girl, Know-It-All, Father, Mother, Lonely Boy, and Conductor. Really? I wish they could at least name the main characters something bland like Lizzie and Timmy or SOMETHING. No name at all just a lable... Huh.
@Jack16755 my dad passed away last year on december 4 :( i get where you're coming from. just try to stay happy because I'm sure it's what your dad would want :)
@Gineapiggylover Haha, sorry, I was really just messing around. By the way, great job, I liked the cover. You definitely have a lot of talent, if you don't mind me saying, Miss.
