Song of the day / La chanson de la journée : CHRIS DE BURGH : A Spaceman Came Travelling Written by : Chris De Burgh Album : Spanish Train And Other Stories : 1975 Merry Christmas !! The song failed to chart when it was first released as a single, but it has been re-released numerous times, become a popular Christmas song and has appeared on many festive compilation albums. When he wrote the song, Chris De Burgh thought : 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 ? This was an idea of Irish poet William Butler Yeats and his work The Second Coming of which de Burgh was a fan. Joyeux Noel !! La chanson na pas ete un succes quand elle est sortie en single, mais elle a ete relancee plusieurs fois et elle est devenue populaire en tant que chanson de Noel et a ete reutilisee sur plusieurs compilations. Quand il a ecrit la chanson, Chris De Burgh pensait : et si letoile de Bethlehem etait un vaisseau spatial et quune forme de vie benevolante dune autre planete veillait sur notre monde et ce quon faisait? Cetait une idee du poete irlandais William Butler Yeats et son oeuvre The Second Coming donc de Burgh admirait. https://youtube/watch?v=49k1EQdoMeU
