Christmas Must Be Tonight | The Band | OFFICIAL LYRIC VIDEO

[@alekospapadopoulos3455]

I love you guys. Wherever you are, I know you will be singing as angels

[@KathleenMcWhorter]

I’m 77yrs old and had never heard the best christmas song of all time. It’s sooo refreshing after all the same old, same old stuff . Robbie and the boys did it again.

[@petesmith5092]

Yes they did.. very great band. Classically trained musicians and very versatile individuals

[@KevinAbrams-rn8vh]

My fav Christmas song bar none

[@veronicacrabtreehill6608]

I had never heard it until my friend (a DJ here in Spain) told me the name of it). We have to remind people WHY we celebrate Christmas. Children have to be told that they get presents because of the three kings, who took gifts to the baby Jesus. Not because they have been good (?) during the year. BTW, I am 87.

[@lttlbev13]

@kathleenmcwhorter I second that! I'm 65 next week and have always been a fan of The Band. I don't think I've ever heard it before either! What a wonderful song that's so much different than the same old stuff. Don't get me wrong, I love some of the old ones but only as they pertain to Christ. He is the reason we celebrate, not going bankrupt as the world would have it these days. ❤️☮️🙏🏼

[@tretschentrexen9440]

Merry Christmas everyone ❤

[@carolsymons7202]

Rest easy Robbie. 🕊️

[@robettinger9518]

Happy day to you goodwill to all people everywhere and peace on Earth...amen

[@janechapman6448]

Not Christian. Always loved this song because of Ricks voice. It touches me. The harmony by Levon and Richard add such richness. Thanks Robbie for writing yet another gem❤

[@LEHROY]

RIP Robbie. Robbie left us with a lot of great songs. Not many know about this one...a song about the real reason for this holiday...one of the most beautiful Christmas songs ever recorded.

[@AnnaCarter-zf1bw]

This song doesn't get the recognition it deserves. Merry Christmas !

[@donherndon6331]

Thanks to The Band for giving us a great Christmas gift. RIP to all who have gone on

[@stevemac201]

my all time fav! Merry Christmas everyone !

[@78aquaman]

Most underrated Christmas song imo. Might be the best ever actually

[@billsomody6928]

Robbie Robertson wrote this great Christmas song! Rest in peace, great artist and singer and songwriter and musician! You were a shining light in the darkness!

[@hegete]

Oh no...this is when I find out he is dead. Resting in the arms of Jesus. ❤️

[@jackhicks7101]

everyone needs to listen to this great song by the great Band

[@alexziggyful]

RIP Robbie, may you play in heaven with all your bandmates!

[@davejonsson3440]

Why don't radio stations play this masterpiece? My favourite Christmas song, bar none!

[@alexziggyful]

For me this is right up there with Lennon's Happy Xmas (War is Over), as a modern classic. Ridiculous no one plays this.

[@donherndon6331]

I heard a month ago on a local owned radio station in NC. First time I had heard it

[@michaelbrown5037]

they do play iit on sirus XM on the Bridge

[@garyd2879]

I am a big fan of The Band. I must have seen them 300 times on stage. One Christmas, they gave a free concert in a park in St. Louis, I was there, this song makes me get all teary when I hear it. Christmas is all about that little baby, swaddled in a manger.

[@78aquaman]

Amen!

[@nordengen01]

Best Cristmas song ever

[@dwaynewladyka577]

A wonderful Christmas song. May Richard Manuel, Rick Danko and Levon Helm rest in peace. Cheers! ✌️🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶⛪

[@ruata4cabin20]

Oh..damnn...it's the first time I heard this beautiful song. It is going to be my Christmas song this year.

[@ddstify]

This has been my favorite Christmas song since finding it on my Island album!!!

[@toddglenn6294]

without a doubt one of their best recordings

[@suewarner1781]

Robbie was an amazing song writter, probably the best ever but not given the credit he deserved. The Band were amazing musisions and singers - the greatest!

[@terryblankenshipmusic1322]

Definitely my favorite Christmas Song of all time . Listening here on the anniversary of Rick’s passing , as he sings the lead we celebrate him but when Levon joins him in the Chorus “ How a little baby boy , could bring the people so much joy “ Wow , RIP Rick, Richard, and Levon 😎❤️

[@lucyparrott9411]

In my 81 years I think it's one of the most relevant!

[@johnknottenbelt2727]

Never heard this one before. 🎄🕊️🌟💖🙇‍♀️ A moving dedication to Our Lord at Christmas time, by The Band. 🤗✨😸

[@joeschmoe1794]

My favorite Christmas song. Absolutely love it.

[@caryelliott9119]

The best Christmas song. It doesn’t sound like the usual songs. I feel this song. Thanks!

[@santamara]

[@karenreardon5398]

What a great Christmas song! How on earth did I ever miss this one?? I definitely will be listening to this one every year. Thanks for posting it.❤😊

[@deesters1]

Wow!! This is the first time hearing this song!! It's such a beautiful Christmas song!! Now to be my favorite Christmas song ever! Much ~ Respect and Love ~ May Richard Manuel, Rick Danko and Levon Helm rest in peace.

[@herschelgoforth2030]

[@borisstone9732]

The best Christmas song

[@moniquedegroot5740]

Beautiful & so uplifting!! Tears are rolling down my face right now. .i lost the love of my life and my mama recently...

[@rhondas2130]

Sorry for your loss. May your loved ones Rest In Peace. I pray that your memories of them give you comfort.

[@simonblack358]

I am sad that you have suffered the passing of your most important people; please excuse my carelessness, but this song could be hummed in the most brutal loss of life and reveal that love conquers all-which of course you know "...Beautiful & so uplifting!!.." Merry Christmas and make sure of a Happy New Year.

[@moniquedegroot5740]

@@simonblack358 thank you for youre kind words, merry Xmas and a loving peaceful. 2023 💜

[@herschelgoforth2030]

. . . must be Tonight . . .

[@angelariebli4843]

This band......so grateful they found each other. Even if it was just for a little while;)

[@terrygarcia897]

It was 16 years they were all together. 1959 to 1976.

[@Ulmanor]

And most of them stuck together a lot longer than that.

[@leanneharris3191]

One of my favourite Christmas songs.

[@ellenweigold4408]

What a beautiful song. One of my favorites for sure.

[@iansomerville4163]

Wow , great 👍 The Band only they could do this. Thanks. Praise the new born King.🙏

[@markarmstrong3068]

I first heard this song was right when it came out on the album Island and it has been one of my favorite Christmas ever since. Truly one of greatest songs from one of the greatest bands of all times.

[@MartinSpeyer]

Ik ben een groot fan van the band ze zouden dit op de radio moeten draaien prachtig.

[@kristieboler966]

I’m dumbfounded I’ve never heard this!!!! Love it!

[@steviemccormick3762]

First time I've ever heard this was on the way to work this morning. Absolutely made my day !! Love love love this !

[@robertclark4748]

Merry Christmas to All 🙏🎄🎅

[@paulinechapman5669]

Searched for this for days..wrote it out line by line for you tube till it knew what l wanted..can’t beat the band..no matter what..a couple of good old Canadian boys with everlasting musical gems..🇨🇦

[@KhupKhai]

Some underrated song that deserves more.

[@janhensley3617]

[@rsheahen1]

As with White Christmas, people of all faiths can write great Christmas songs -- rest in peace, Robbie Robertson

[@황인택-c4g]

It reminds me of 40 years ago. Thank you.

[@Rob-hv9kt]

These guys 🙏🙏 i miss them . RIP Beautiful 🎶 song

[@kuriabraham]

The most beautiful band I have ever been fortunate enough to listen to. Could run through an individual roster of their unique talents but what made them so special, was the way those 5 gifted young men merged musically, like 5 parts of one whole to make a sound that was so absolutely...together. ❤

[@Rob-hv9kt]

I found this song by accident or was it ? My favorite band “ the band “ i never heard this song until last Christmas! One of my favorites

[@wete]

Happy christmas everyone!

[@cleaningtim]

Great Christmas song! This sounds like a cross between Bob Segar and Ozark Mountain Daredevils from back in the 70's. Love it!

[@flogonurse5359]

Love this - heard it for the first time by Paul Kelly in Australia both great versions- thanks Robbie R 🙏

[@denysemcalister3390]

I've never heard this song before. It's beautiful.

[@ChrisRiebli]

I'd never heard this song before from one of my favorite groups of all time.

[@patwheeler5809]

One of my favorites, for sure!! Heard it for the first time in December!! This is Christmas...this song tells the Story...Love!!

[@KM2tvarchive]

Fun Fact, The Pogues considered covering this song as their Christmas effort before deciding to write their own instead (Fairytale of New York)

[@polaroleonardo]

Lindo, lindo, lindo. Amo demais essa canção de vocês..... ♥️

[@Jobble44]

Fantastic song! And what honey and nostalgic animation on the video as well. Kudos!

[@brianmiller5265]

To Monique, I Too have lost all that is dear to me. My beautiful soul mate, my beloved mama with Alzheimer's..who I took care of for years...all others blew her off and my dear father from grief. This song is. Magnificent. Please tell others to tune in. Saved my ass. Merry Christmas to all

[@Genjo_N_Mojave]

Lyrics~ Come down to the manger, see the little stranger Wrapped in swaddling clothes, the prince of peace The wheels start turning, torches start burning And behold, wise men journey from the east How a little Baby Boy bring the people so much joy Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light This must be Christmas, must be tonight A shepherd on the hillside, where over my flock I abide On a cold winter night, a band of Angels sing In a dream, I heard a voice say, "Fear not, come rejoice It's the end of the beginning, praise the new born King" How a little Baby Boy bring the people so much joy Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light This must be Christmas, must be tonight Saw it with my own eyes, written up in the skies But why a simple herdsmen such as I? And then it came to pass, he was born at last Right below the star that shines on high How a little Baby Boy bring the people so much joy Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light This must be Christmas, must be tonight Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light This must be Christmas, must be tonight Be tonight, be tonight Be tonight, be tonight Be tonight, be tonight Be tonight

[@stevej.longariello3384]

The Band, one of my favorite bands of future passed. Gonna revisit some more of their winners. RIP to the ones who are no longer with us.

[@matthewkrulitski8788]

Love the song and love the artwork. Is it Ai or what?

[@andrewclifton9772]

Very unusually, Robbie sings on this. He had a more than adequate voice but his genius was (and unfortunately from now on we have to use the past tense) recognizing those skills his bandmates had when they were better than his. RIP Robbie.

[@thedillonsmith1]

I don't think Robbie sings here. They did give Levon the fretless bass when they probably shouldn'tve.

[@jamomo1371]

This is Rick Danko on lead vocal
