The Story of... 'A Spaceman Came Travelling' by Chris de Burgh

Chris De Burgh

"Peace and goodwill to all men, and love for the child..."

It might not be as iconic as 'Fairytale of New York' or 'I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday', and you might not even know it by name, but you'll no doubt know (and love) this festive track's soaring chorus.

But what is this intriguing song by Chris de Burgh all about and how did it become a Christmas favourite? Here's all the big facts:

Who wrote 'A Spaceman Came Travelling'?

Chris de Burgh wrote this song for his second album Spanish Train and Other Stories , released in 1975.

The British-Irish singer would not achieve any mainstream success in the UK until 'The Lady in Red' over 10 years later.

'A Spaceman Came Travelling' meaning: What is the song about?

spaceman came travelling live

Chris de Burgh - A Spaceman Came Travelling

De Burgh had just signed his first recording contract with A&M Records, and was broke and "staying at a friend's flat" when he read Chariots of the Gods? by Erich von Däniken.

The book made him ponder, "what if the star of Bethlehem was a space craft and what if there is a benevolent being or entity in the universe keeping an eye on the world and our foolish things that we do to each other?".

Already a fan of Irish poet William Butler Yeats, whose work 'The Second Coming' states that every two years or so there would be a major cataclysmic event, de Burgh saw the birth of Christ as "such an event and then 2,000 years later there would be a similar" one.

He imagined "the nativity scene, the thing hovering over and I could see the shepherds in the fields and this weird, ethereal music was drifting into the air and they were 'what the heck is that'?"

How did it perform in the charts?

The song was not a success in the UK and failed to chart entirely. However, it topped the charts in Ireland in 1976.

In 1986, following his huge success with 'The Lady in Red', a reissue reached number 15 in Ireland and number 40 in the UK.

He said: "I had no ideas about trying to write a hit record". Despite it never reaching higher than 40 in the UK, it has since grown to become a Christmas classic thanks to its use in various festive compilations.

He added that it's been "much better to have a regular recurring song than a hit for three weeks."

'A Spaceman Came Travelling' cover versions: Who else has recorded it?

John Gibbons - A Spaceman Came Travelling (feat. Nina Nesbitt)

A handful of artists have covered the song, including rock band Smokie and Irish vocal group Celtic Woman.

In 2018, Irish producer John Gibbons released an electronic dance version with singer Nina Nesbitt on vocals.

'A Spaceman Came Travelling' lyrics

A spaceman came travelling on his ship from afar, 'Twas light years of time since his mission did start, And over a village he halted his craft, And it hung in the sky like a star, just like a star He followed a light and came down to a shed, Where a mother and child were lying there on a bed, A bright light of silver shone round his head, And he had the face of an angel, and they were afraid Then the stranger spoke, he said "Do not fear, I come from a planet a long way from here, And I bring a message for mankind to hear, " And suddenly the sweetest music filled the air And it went La La Peace and goodwill to all men, and love for the child

This lovely music went trembling through the ground, And many were wakened on hearing that sound, And travellers on the road, the village they found, By the light of that ship in the sky, which shone all round And just before dawn at the paling of the sky, The stranger returned and said "Now I must fly, When two thousand years of your time has gone by, This song will begin once again, to a baby's cry" And it went La La This song will begin once again To a baby's cry And it goes La La Peace and goodwill to all men, and Love for the child Oh the whole world is waiting, waiting to hear the song again, There are thousands standing on the edge of the world, And a star is moving somewhere, the time is nearly here, This song will begin once again, to a baby's cry

Spaceman Came Travelling (Live)

Chris De Burgh

A spaceman came traveling on his ship from afar

'Twas light years of time since his mission did start

And over a village, he halted his craft

And it hung in the sky like a star, just like a star

He followed a light and came down to a shed

Where a mother and child were lying there on a bed

A bright light of silver shone round his head

And he had the face of an angel and they were afraid

And the stranger spoke, he said "Do not fear"

I come from a planet a long way from here

And I bring a message for mankind to hear

Suddenly the sweetest music filled the air

And it went la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

Peace and goodwill to all men

And love for the child

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, oh

This lovely music went trembling through the ground

And many were awakened on hearing that sound

And travelers on the road

The village they found by the light of that ship in the sky

Which shone all around

And just before dawn at the paling of the sky

The stranger returned and said "Now I must fly"

When two thousand years of your time has gone by

This song will begin once again to a baby's cry

Oh the whole world is waiting, waiting to hear the song again (la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)

There are thousands standing on the edge of the world (la-la-la-la-la-la-la)

And a star is moving somewhere

First off, it never mentions a light year; it's "thousand years" not "light years". Misheard lyrics 4tw.

As for 'two thousand years' being a prediction well... predictions don't generally come true. Especially not ones with a timer attached, unless they're self-fulfilling prophecies.

Regardless, the idea isn't that "god" himself is an alien, but that the ANGEL that visted was. This's been explored many times before, since supposedly angels were made before humans, had a little war in their home, that kind of stuff. Now, since the universe supposedly wasn't even made until AFTER this war, that seems kind of odd; one would think they lived 'somewhere' right? Soooo an easy enough explaination is that it's just a misinterpretation and that it wasn't the universe that was created after the angels' war, but rather earth itself, which would mean that angels were just an alien race as the 'first attempt that went bad'. To be honest it makes more sense than the more literal translation that's generally accepted.

Also, just in referance to redcoat, the big bang's not really all that disputed; there's more than enough evidence to pretty much say that's pretty likely where things started... the question then becomes, how did it start? If it was all the matter and energy in the universe existing compacted incredably tightly, even more dense than a black hole, then WHY did it just randomly explode? One could claim that the big bang was the equivilent to god dumping out a box of lego parts onto the ground to make stuff with, and that the big bang itself was divine in nature, rather than a natural occurance. Of course that doesn't neccesarily mean it's true either, though there's only a handful of theories which even make the most vague of sense in explaining how it could even happen. Even the whole m-branes don't make total sense as it still relies on a previously infinite amount of time wherein nothing happened at all before the big bang.

So was the angel an alien? Was the big bang caused by god? Or is it all just a myth like everything else people used to believe and in a few thousand years we'll just look back on this in schools as foolishness? Guess we all find out eventually, shame by that point yeu're dead and it's not very useful information anymore XD

Anyways, nice song, the angel's singing lines are very nicely done, haunting and etherial, quite beautiful in their own way. Shame the lyrics only briefly touch on the concepts given, rather than exploring them more fully. But that's why it's a song and not an essay I suppose, any thought provocation at all is better than whot most artists can claim, so even if it's a bit blunt, it works well enough.

No, whoever submitted these lyrics, he had the face of an angel, not an angle. Also, from what I can make out it's "love for a child" rather than "the child".

But it seems a handful of lyrics sites, and even one YouTube video, have copied each other and so ended up with these errors in them.

"When two thousand years of your time has gone by" - Okay, expecting it was the sound that could be heard on Jesus' birth nearly 2000 years has gone by when Chris der Burgh sang it (once again) on his album "Spanish Train and other Stories 1975) and the mankind (a part of course) heard it "again".

This powerful song was divinely inspired at a time when the general atmosphere was prickling with a sense of Christ's return. The meaning is absolutely clear. He speaks of the 2nd coming being born 'in the flesh' (a baby's cry) 2,000 years after the 1st coming. It WAS the case: The Messiah and 2nd coming was born 1920, and the marriage of the lamb took place in 1960. ...I leave the rest for those who want to do their homework to find out for themselves who I'm talking about and what is happening providentially.

It's Christian science, claiming God is an alien hence the references to spacemen refering to the bible. Of course it's all aload of rubbish, BIG BANG RULES.

"When two thousand years of your time has gone by, This song will begin once again" I'm still waiting.

it's just a beautiful song. im glad it's christian friendly, more people can enjoy it.

The great Monobrowed one getting high on 'La Bise' again whilst reading the bible.

for further info see 'Lonely Sky' by de burgh.

"He followed a light and came down to a shed, Where a mother and child were lying there on a bed" is worthy of the great McGonagall. The whole lyric is so portentious and so deeply dreadful it brought me out in a thin sweat of embarassment. Also betrays basic ignorance of writer as a light year is a measurement of distance, not time.
