Product Description

Written by Chris de Burgh in 1975, A Spaceman Came Travelling topped the Irish charts a year after it was released. But it wasnt until 1986 with De Burghs success of The Lady in Red that the UK took notice and it reached the top charts there, too.

The idea for the song came to de Burgh when he had just signed his first recording contract, and he read Chariots of the Gods? by Erich von Däniken. The book made him think 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? De Burgh also drew inspiration from William Butler Yeats poem The Second Coming, and in the song he tells a story of the birth of Christ being a recurring 2000-year event heralded by an intergalactic visitor.
