[@MISSYANYI]

This video is amazing. because for once they show case the woman as the one who is serving our country which many of them do and never get as much of the respect as they deserve. Well done.

[@Nicholas175]

MISS YANYI well I low key would've been pissed if they portrayed him as the marine because his hair is so dang long. And the marines hair regulations are VERY strict to a high and tight, fresh haircut every week for men lol

[@yuitoad510]

BOOTIFUL THANK YOU LORD!!!

[@tammykeith8919]

Hi this amazing

[@melallred6523]

Yeah I wasn’t ready for that twist!

[@hannahf8882]

Husband just deployed a week ago... Couldn't sleep and I knew this would make me feel better. Love to you both for making this

[@LuisReyes-sx3px]

I hope this time without him flies by for you I know how hard it can be..

[@madz241]

Hannah Ollie praying for the both of you

[@Hol658]

Please thank him for his service!

[@abbeyknutsen9884]

my boyfriends at bootcamp right now becoming a marine. he gave me a promise ring before he left. how is it to have your husband deployed? it's hard for me now but I can't even imagine what it's like.

[@lizgonzalez6231]

I know and feel what this is because my husband spent a year in deployment and that hurt a lot, I just have to wait for time to fly

[@brittaniehansen7765]

This song makes me cry every time. They did so good with the video.

[@jessidgold]

Me too!!!!!

[@tatianas.1449]

***** is the girl actually in the marines?

[@havanaherro4628]

+Timoteo Ramirez so... Yes or no

[@el.c.8858]

Havana Herro Yes I think she was a marine.

[@Ben-ky9xp]

I'm not crying. My eyes are just over hydrated.

[@SuperGandoulf]

Hi. First: sorry for my English i'am a french I listen this song a lot. i'am french soldier and my wife send me this song when i'am in Afghanistan... thanks for your voice, thanks for all. Sgt Daumieu 2RH S1(Texel)

[@osvaldoperez8104]

hey man you are doing great things just like I am. United state Marine corps. stay safe wherever you are. teaching these guys a lesson.

[@farcasalexandru4020]

This made me wanna cry so bad....#respect

[@thefurriefrenzy169]

thank you for serving sir

[@sliiimthugga7720]

think u for ur service

[@saram823]

Spent last year waiting for my at the time boyfriend to come home from Afghanistan. Wasn't expecting to come across this tonight but it definitely brings me right back to how I felt, every day he was gone, other songs come close but the emotion and pain is so perfectly captured. The memory gets you through but the reality of them being absent in everything is still there. Anyways, he's my husband now and I'm so happy he's home :)

[@famousamos]

Home for me, is where you are...

[@valeries.873]

I thought he was going away and then BAM! Plot twist. Changing the norms. Love it!

[@azile4787]

Valerie Wong exactly!!

[@pigeonxx5558]

Carissa was actually part of the Marines before. and yes to changing stereotypes! ❤

[@jaevicsamson-carino8786]

Been listening to this song for years but only now have I truly felt and understood the lyrics and it really does hit different. I’m a proud husband of a United States Active Duty Airman I miss my husband every single second of everyday we both have a very special bond for music and this song reminds me of his love for me. It’s been 9 years since this song came out but I just want to say thank you so much for making this beautiful song ❤️

[@BrittanyLynn4655]

My fiancé and I have been together for almost two years (we've known each other for two and a half). He's been in the Army for almost four years and I knew that being with him was going to have its ups and downs. Out of the two and a half years that we've been together we've spent a total of 13 months with one another, the rest of the time he has been gone on military assignments. He loves what he does and I support what he does, but it's hard loving anyone in the military (both men and women). Thank you Us the Duo for such an incredible song.

[@troopcry1235]

Not being able to see who you love must be hard. If I can't see my crush for at least one day, i will go into depression. I cant imagine more than a day without him

[@hannahf8882]

From one military spouse to another, I understand and hugs to you

[@theflowerart]

is it just me that i have tears in my eyes everytime i watch this video

[@dumbledoreseyelash973]

Yeah. Ik I'm five years late lol, but I have to turn the screen away to listen

[@bradfordlanning9719]

I can't help it either. Its been 6 years now but still feels like yesterday

[@bosottile2022]

My boyfriend is deployed. Two years since we have been able to be together. He is currently in Afghanistan on his 3rd tour and is FINALLY!!!!!! home on October 18th.This song is exactly what we go through. We listen to it all the time and we are going to play it at our wedding :) Wish they could preform it. I would fan girl so hard.

[@britneyreinhart9697]

I can't even start to describe how touching & true this is to my story. My marine left today again for more training and I've been playing it off like I'm fine.. But not even being able to talk to him for a month again is lonely. Your song that I found today brought me back to how much he means to me even if he's gone for 8 months.. I never thought I'd be in this position to be lonely and not have the one I love physically & mentally here with me until I fell in love with him. No matter how long he'll be gone, the moment he gets back I know it was all worth the pain, loneliness, and crying because he makes me the happiest women in the world, & I wouldn't have it any other way. I could never be more proud and happy for him. Thank you for caring about the men and women that serve our country. 💗

[@terrycharles3447]

How are you doing today??

[@reaganlb99]

This makes me cry. My dad was in the army for 20+ years and he had to retire about 2 years ago because of severe PTSD and back and neck injuries.

[@jemilmarcos7211]

Just like a hero...

[@thatawesomeperson5890]

Made me cry too. My dad was in the Marines. He recently retired. He also has mild PTSD and has small hear loss. He has back injuries aswell. Many thanks to your fathers service :)

[@juliabenitez5449]

this made me cry the first time i watched it i sobbed. Its a different kind of heartbreak. Not the kind you see in movies or the kind you experience when you're no longer with some one. This is a heartbreak not many would understand. I on the other hand do. Its been almost a month since i haven't see my boyfriend. Seeing this video makes me look back at the memories me and him had. Its SO SO SO hard to watch the one you love leave for days,weeks,months and years. Much respect to people in the military but the same respect goes to the girlfriend/boyfriend, fiancé, husband/wife, and family for sticking around.

[@SittingPRETTY727]

Are you guys married now?

[@lilyanoviatt7237]

My dad is in the military and you guys touched me in ways no other person can..............thankyou

[@tabikatx8226]

This video sends me into a reality. My husband is in the US Army, and his whole team is in GRF. At any moment he could get a call, and within three hours, we will say our goodbyes and say "See you in 9 months or more! Be safe, my love!" Being an Army spouse is a difficult task. This song is very inspirational, and has touched my heart! I am so thankful to have found a song that I can listen to on days that are the hardest to get through. My husband is my best friend, and when he leaves; a part of me will as well. He is my heart, and I am so thankful to have a best friend such as he. He's my hero! Thanks to all who serve and have served!

[@autumnmay8856]

My husband is in the US Army as well . This song helps so much .

[@opryk8251]

The plot twist made me really happy. The ending is so precious. Hoorah

[@pianomei]

I'm so obsessed with this song I've been listening to it and watching it over and over since last week...and it still gets to me. Wonderfully made ustheduo. I can not express how much you two mean to me. Please don't ever stop making music. May God bless you two more and more.

[@tracygudeman7955]

I love this song my husband has been in the military for 21 years and I know exactly how it feels.

[@avaIine]

+tracy gudeman (:

[@rsydzyik9558]

I thank him for his service.

[@terrycharles3447]

[@jasiscool]

I didn't cry, no, my eye had something in it that made tears..

[@pyro-0438]

I should be doing my homework. But first let me watch all of their videos first.

[@GIRLonMW2]

OMG me too 😂😂

[@taylor-lou1389]

WE'RE ALREADY HALF WAY THERE

[@pyro-0438]

MUAHAHAHAHA

[@TheJudelaineChannel]

I'm so happy that Us The Duo exist. At least this time, there wouldn't be any reason for an amazing duo to break up because they have sealed their union. I really felt bad when Civil Wars broke up. Carrissa is another world class Filipino. You made Pinoys very proud! Michael is a brilliant versatile musician.Thanks for the awesome music that can bring one close to that incredible feeling of falling in love. Your music is a great companion as we all journey through life. Your story teaches us that when you risk everything for true love, beautiful things will fall into place.

[@TheMissy51]

Ok I'm crying...

[@chachimi13]

Coming home from a 7 month deployment tomorrow. Randomly ran into this song. Now I really can't sleep.

[@MissAsiaNerd]

You must be so excited c:

[@michaelgoodson1722]

This is a little late but thank you for your service! My husband is in Basic Training right now!

[@emosk8tergurl55]

I am not gonna cry. I am not gonna cry. I am not gonna cry. GODDAMNIT!

[@msbrischafer]

Right haHa this was so me

[@legendsdespite3430]

I know how you feel 😢

[@iffytiffylove]

This is a whole nother level of heartbreak.

[@rachelstewart7484]

mom, dad, why do you have to break my heart like this? it's beautiful. truly, purely, honestly beautiful ♥

[@MamaMiaItsKeya]

Literally the 4the video I've watched in a row where I'm crying/tearing up. You two are perfect.

[@candyacacia]

Every time I listen and watch this amazing video...I finish with tears. My man is in a position similar to Carissa's role and I usually go through Michael's role every time he gets deployed. It's an awful feeling; but it feels awesome when he gets back home. "Us The Duo, thanks for your outstanding music, lyrics, songs and videos...for years your melodies been touching my heart". ♡♡♡

[@jalen60899]

Wasn't expecting to come across this video and I wasn't even looking for anything like this. My boyfriend of 3 years is in the marines and this is the longest we've ever gone without being together. This video totally spoke to me on so many levels. Good news is, I pick him up from the airport tomorrow night!!!!!!!

[@anggitaaugustinamanik4242]

Gosh I heard this way back in 2013 or 2014 and coming to hear it again is throwing me into nostalgia :")

[@SailorCruz]

I am really glad you went the female route, made it more realistic, thank you. Havent seen my husband in over a year and a half. we are ready to finally be stationed together at the end of this year. I will have this song on replay until then

[@Lolowinkz]

Congratulations😊 I'm so glad for you! Your husband it helping the world☺️

[@tomkoetz]

+Kaylee Cruz thank you for the service

[@amberlackey4653]

My husband has been in the air force for 14 years, in that time he has been deployed 7 times, no less then 6 months, no more then a year. My three children feel it the most, but this song struck a cord in my heart and I cry every time I listen to it....and I listen to it ALOT ha ha. sucker for punishment I guess. no one will understand a military spouse's pain and heartache.

[@chrispewpew]

Listened to many of your songs in the last two weeks and could not tell which was my favorite. Last night decided to just sit at a piano, I don't know much about playing or reading well, but I just started to play tunes I felt. Little did I know I'd find out the tune that was resonating with me was this song's melody. Oh my, I have a new favorite song!

[@mutiaravita8841]

I'm only happy when I'm with you Home for me is where you are I try to smile and push on through But home for me is where you are They tell me that I'll make it It'll only be a while But a while lasts forever Without you Send out the alarms I'm all alone Wrap me in your arms Take me home Take me home To your arms I won't be happy 'till I'm with you Home for me is where you are These four walls are nothing without you Home for me is where you are They tell me that I'll make it It'll only be a while But a while lasts forever Without you Send out the alarms I'm all alone Wrap me in your arms Take me home Take me home To your arms Send out the alarms I'm all alone Wrap me in your arms And take me home Take me home Take me home Take me home To your arms

[@anthonysanchez5422]

As a proud member of the United States Marine Corps, I cant thank you enough. This is a very touching song with an equally touching video.

[@lexricci7098]

I love this so much. Thank you to all the veterans who are currently in the army and who have been in the army. God bless you all(:

[@cruz2410]

That's the Marines but same shit.

[@erenyeager5507]

Marines is not the "Same shit" as the army

[@Twe4ke]

SirFancy Legion Same overall mission, chief. Same commander in chief as well last time I checked. Same type of MOS list...hm...the only thing different I'm seeing is the uniform really.

[@ailinparedes6555]

Vargov My husband worked hard to earn his title as a Marine. not a soldier. Yes they all serve, but they each earn their titles. It's out of respect to call them by what they are.

[@Xanore0]

ailin tellez whats the diffrence between a marine and a soldier? i truly dont understand and am not trying to be disrespectful

[@BeeCoolCat]

Now this hits differently.

[@FarAwayDistance]

Oh my gosh I just fell in love with this song

my fiancé is in the air force, this song brought me to tears. I relate to it in so many levels.. thank God for your music

I won't be happy till I have a relationship like Us The Duo. Most inspirational duet I've seen in love, and in musicianship

[@cheyennedawnmickelson5059]

This was so amazing to watch. I'm joining the Navy and from the looks of it going to bootcamp in June of 2015. Watching this made me realize that it will be hard to leave your loved ones, but the feeling of seeing them again just makes the love grow stronger. Love this couple, Mike and Carissa are the cutest!

[@kirstiecroswell7700]

Loved how they switched the same old story of the husband that goes away and the wife is distraught; this time is was different. It was a very great different. Loved this so much!

[@ClumsySquire]

Yea so cliched when the husbands goes away

[@abbyj7164]

FUCK. I cried. I've listened to this song countless times, but this is the first time I've actually paid thorough attention to the video...although, some images were blurred due to the amount of tears in my eyes lol.

being in the Marine Corps myself. and Getting deployed in a couple of months to Syria, Turkey, and Jordan while being in a relationship.. this song breaks my heart guys. I don't wanna lose her. or even worse.. her losing me. thanks to everyone that supports the armed forces.

[@jackie9262]

It's crazy how much you can miss someone...

[@maisyafarhati4843]

Visited this music video again after a while. I used to listen to this song quite often circa 2013 when having long distance marriage with my husband. A bit sad now that Carissa and Michael are no longer together. But thanks for making good music and meaningful lyric for the past 12 years. Wishing both of you and Xyla better days ahead.

[@jemdoan7889]

This made me cry. You guys are both very amazing at what you do and how you guys love each other.

[@BobSleighization]

My husband is currently deployed and this song and music video is exactly how I feel. The pain of seeing him go and trying to make it through each day without him, is unbearable. Homecomings make it all worth it though... 💘

PLOT TWIST

[@pattysvideos]

I stumbled on this song and never thought it was a military video, i listened to it on spotify and loved it and thought about my fiance who is 14hrs ahead of me in time difference in the navy, when i saw the video on here i could not hold back the tears through out the whole video. It incredible how you guys managed to capture the absence felt when he leaves after he comes to visit. Thank you for this beautiful video

[@TacosRyouFriends]

Patty Diaz Hey my fiance is also in the navy and 14hrs ahead of me, might be weird of me to say this but if you ever want to talk it would be cool to have someone who is going through the same as me. :D

[@pattysvideos]

Smile Sunshine Hey that's so funny. How do we get connected

[@AdamOpie]

You guys thought about putting your music on spotify ? it would be awesome ;)

***** They are on there as Us The Duo!

[@MamaMiaItsKeya]

Makes me cry or tear up every time i listen to it.. Which is several times a day everyday. i love this song so much... yay for aux cords and itunes!!!

[@kimheines7481]

I was so surprised to see him hand her the bags, that I had to watch it again. And again. And cry, like 14 times. Carissa Rae is like a little angel when she sings. I can't, I'm crying again. Thank you for this song, y'all. I'll be sharing it with every one I know.

[@rsydzyik9558]

[@kibakillua9608]

I think the people who disliked this video were crying too much so they accidental pressed "dislike" instead of "like"

[@undahcovah5900]

i think they were trying to download the video

I watched this, cried, then watched it again and continued crying :'-(

[@e.smith_thestoryteller]

Awe man, I feel really sexist now; when they were packing, i immediately thought it was the guy who was going back in! It was a beautiful video.

[@HereAllNight23]

I thought so too, still so beautiful, I cried, every time😂

[@billiedh]

Erick Goldsmith It's ok, that's what I thought too. Ironic since I served in the military and my husband has not lol

[@borrowingmoonlight18]

+Erick Goldsmith It's so funny because I thought: man his hair is way too long to be in the military. Then sure enough..

[@SailorCruz]

i was going to be very upset if it was him due to his hair. im really glad they went with her instead.

[@TheOnlyExxxception]

+Erick Goldsmith I was practically yelling at the screen for her to be the one in the military because I was like, 'challenge gender roles!' When he was shown holding the bags I was really disappointed, until he handed them over to her and I started screaming because I felt so contented at that moment. This video was so emotional though, I love it and how they switched the roles up from the average story. I'm sort of sobbing.

[@philynxiabenson]

I have never been bought to tears by a song. Well done!

[@gitanggita]

just knew the true story of this song being made after your concert in sg. can't get enough. this just such meaningful emotional song ever.
