[@tonydanford470]

Best Christmas song EVER!!!! if people could just catch this vibe and live by it.

[@NateAmor]

One of my favorites to sing!

[@MendicinoB]

This is the best TSO song. Change my mind.

[@jaredmarler4655]

idk man, Epiphany is unreal...

[@piggyvkc]

Totally agree.

[@piggyvkc]

I mean, any song with a line like "just the wind and the snow waltzing dreams through the air." You just can't do better than that.

[@Eric-kf9jf]

Believe is the best...by far...

[@drums333]

Seen TSO 8 times and this is always my favorite song along with Believe and First Snow.

[@scottinman3004]

I cry the first time hearing it every Christmas season

[@robhake]

I love his mannerisms as much as his voice. Nate clearly understands how to perform for a live crowd.

[@NateAmor]

Thank you so much

[@kennycab3374]

Here just to cry again.

[@kennycab3374]

Here doing it again.

[@kennycab3374]

I hope he is part of the 2023 tour come this december.

[@Backroad_Junkie]

If Harry Chapin wrote a song for TSO... This song has touched me ever since I first heard it years ago. Great tune... Edit: And curses to KZbin for putting an ad in the middle of it, lol...

[@kennycab3374]

Been listening to this song every Christmas for so long. So beautiful.

[@NateAmor]

I had a nice cold during this performance... so hence wiping the mic down with an alcohol swab at the end LOL.

[@stevenlemons2602]

That was beautiful. Made me cry.

[@CoffeeDrinker08]

The musicianship at a TSO show is incredible, but those vocals! My God! Nothing short of spectacular.

[@NateAmor]

Thank you so much!

[@gamingwithgeekwares4416]

This song embodies everything that is Christmas for me

[@gamingwithgeekwares4416]

A year later and my opinion hasn't changed at all

[@jrockofages5413]

This song rings that MAGIC Christmas bell...every time!

[@brianfreeburg3992]

My favorite TSO song and my MOMS favorite too…got to love an OLD CITY BAR that is never to far…

[@tiger5551]

Best Christmas song ever

[@Dumbmass]

First time hearing this song was on the live stream...whole body was in goosebumps, still can’t get enough of this song

[@tigerguy1013]

You wanna talk goosebumps? I also first heard this song on the stream and I couldn’t keep my tear dam from breaking. I’ll go as far to say this one is way more emotional than this Christmas Day

[@NateAmor]

Was so grateful to get to sing it even during covid.

[@getdusty1]

One that always brings tears to my eyes, no matter what season it is!!! This 69 year old is starting to get soft in his old age!!!

[@nobodycaresnotevenalittleb5646]

that’s my dad, he isn’t 69

[@grumpybuzzard7131]

no sir, just becoming more human and that is a great thing!

[@NateAmor]

Sometimes I get choked up singing it

[@maribethwhiting7114]

I just saw them for the first time last night in wilkes-barre. I've wanted to see them for a long time so my 3 kids bought me and my husband tickets for Christmas. It was the best Christmas present I've ever received. The 2 1/2 hours went by in a flash. This song made me cry. It is so beautiful and touching! Love it!! I'm trying to find all of the ones they sang last night to make a Christmas play list. I want to remember last night forever!

[@kennycab3374]

I have seen tso 4 times. My favorite things ouside of the amazin show, is seeing family dressed traditionally. Its amazing. I am not religeous but I am so impressed by seeing families at the show with traditional clothes. I honestly wish more black people would come to the TSO concerts. For some of you people who can afford it, buy an extra 6 or 12 pack and donate to a black family to come enjoy this amazing show that comes around every year.

[@markharrison5321]

That is truly outstanding. This song is TSO. It is Paul O’Neill’s vision.

[@NateAmor]

Wish I could have met Paul... honored to sing his songs and bring them to life.

[@erikalebron8658]

Tso is one of the best heavy metal commercial bands that have put their thoughts and efforts into all their musical talents alive no other band has the same concepts that they do outrageous innovative talents from the guitars to the singers it’s such a pleasure to get tickets at the end of the year for their Christmas special! I never tire of them and the people creating their songs are nothing short of genius. They deserve so much credit people who have not seen their shows and like heavy metal sounds I suggest u invest the few dollars it costs to see a wonderful heartwarming show of ur life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@williamgerrish9837]

Best Christmas song these eats have ever heard.

[@jenb6791]

This song is SOOOO BEAUTIFUL!!!!

[@gayledays5399]

I just saw Nate perform tonight and WOW! Powerhouse vocals!

[@bdyabroudy]

This song has been forgotten about in my heart for many years. I am so blessed that it came up as a suggestion because it reminded me of what Christmas is and means. Thank you TSO for again showing me what feelings of love and giving are supposed to mean...

[@lindacheragotti7730]

Goosebumps!

[@darkroselight3835]

This is my favorite Christmas song

[@andrewjwhite2403]

this guy needs to be famous for real.

[@blinktennis187]

[@georgefonteyn3470]

Yes

[@Dumbmass]

[@65coupestang]

I saw them in camden N.J. ON THE WATERFRONT AT ONE OF THE THEATERS on the delaware river which my stepdad got my mom tickets for christmas even though that theater was in a hellhole that'd be camden N.J.

Keep the West coming!

[@Merciless_Banana]

Seen this one back in 2010 in Colorado. It was a bit different, they made it snow on the crowd, not hard for CO bit the singer seemed so authentic it was amazing.

[@geoffreypotter836]

I didn't know Amos from The Expanse had such a beautiful voice.

[@NateAmor]

LOL! Didn't know I was Amos from The Expanse :)

[@RusticMillRR]

Can't hold a note as long as previous singers over the years, but still sounded good.

[@tolistolis8277]

Perhaps spund silly but imagine 70's elvis in this song

[@skyewalker40]

While mid-00's Bart Shatto is my favorite rendition, this was a very moving performance.

[@michaelkrakowski3823]

🙏

[@rickwitkowski4498]

I can't sing to this song. Ever. Only due to the huge lump in my throat when I hear it.

[@janetlarson116]

“To know who needs help, you need only just ask”. Such a simple thing…

[@65coupestang]

I always thought from hearing this song on the c.d. that this was a big black guy singing this by how deep his voice is/was until I saw this music video I saw that possibly b/c as my mom's said she thinks this is a different singer than from the song on the c.d. since this is one of her favorite songs😁🤷‍♂️🤔..!!??

[@humbertomatias1666]

Súper Like Núm🎄🎁🎵🎵🎄14🎻👏🏂🎄🎁😄.

[@65coupestang]

The singer of this song almost looks/dresses as if he were homeless/poor etc..

[@jerrythomas608]

That’s the idea.

[@TheBlindAndTheBeautiful]

Depending on the show and location the person who sings this one actually dresses like that and stands outside in the cold while the people come in. I once remember seeing a story about someone offering this guy an extra ticket to get inside and he told them he had one already but smiled at them for it. When he did it in Spokane last time I saw them I watched people in my city judge him without knowing. I watched them think he was a begger. Or a drug adict that came from down town to stand out and hope for hand outs. I took my then girlfriend over because I knew what it was. I've seen them live every year (Well minus last year) since I was in high school. I just shook his hand and told him thank you and I was looking forward too his song the most that night because it really is special to me and he just smiled and said he appreciated it

[@NateAmor]

I once was! Thank God for sobriety
