[Horsesrock1000]

It is how religion was born.

[UrWifeMyKid]

[UrWifeMyKid]

@RHCPfan458 Saracasm? :p got my parents to thank, il be using these songs for my kids, the songs add the xmas effect i think :)

[bornfree1977]

Always liked this song, so wonderfully different from the usual "tinsel and turkey" Christmas songs!!

[rorsters]

Read the book "Mission" by Patrick Tilley

[8pezzer8]

only just realised the spaceman is santa... 

[SeiSempreBella]

It's the final hour of Christmas here in London, UK and I heard this song playing this morning and I've been searching for this song all day when I've been able to, and I've just found it now. And it made me smile. Thank you for making Christmas special for me in 2011 <3

[Dobbinator817]

the scientology version of the nativity lol

[Recneps27]

@rizla75 Did Superman fly to Earth 2000 years ago as an adult and turn around and leave again after passing on a message of peace to humans? 'cause that's what the spaceman in this song did. ;-)

[nomittens4kittens]

My favourite christmas song...

[davyboy176]

"❤♫•*❤♫•*❤♫•*❤Am i a stranger from another planet or am Davy ??? ha ha ha"❤♫•*❤♫•*❤♫•*❤

[jimftr]

This, and a fairytale of new york, the two best christmas songs in m opinion.

[rizla75]

[relentlessinferno]

@rizla75 he's clearly not singing about superman

[TheDoctorwhoboy]

[paranoidandroid10]

[TheVampireFrog11]

[CustoopMoon]

This is undoubtedly Chris de Burgh's BEST SONG.

[fatboyd112]

Epic!



[StrathendrickPiper]

@fatboyd112 epic indeed!

[1Ljubica]

One of my favourite Christmas songs.

[StrathendrickPiper]

@1Ljubica one of my favourites too, i heard wish it could be christmas everday too many times

[osully98]

Fantastic song! Retarded name....

[GoldenLioness100]

@osully98 What makes you think it's a bad name? It's the first line of a song about a travelling spaceman...

[StrathendrickPiper]

@GoldenLioness100 agreed, it does exackly what it says on the tin

[StrathendrickPiper]

@osully98 perhaps, still its about a spaceman

[GoldenLioness100]

@StrathendrickPiper It is an unusual Christmas song, admittedly. But why does something have to be typical in order to be good?

[TreeKneeee]

Absolute beast of a Christmas song!

[StrathendrickPiper]

@TreeKneeee one of the most underated ones too it think

[PiggusVomitus]

superb video, well done and thanks

[Hagarviking]

beautiful song and video, many thanks my friend...

[225tom11]

[CandyCane381]

this song has alot of meaning to it.

[ronacm]

A lovely song, I love it

[olliebaum25]

Just to let you know - this is a really great video! All the pictures were very well chosen and the effects very well employed! I normally dislike the slideshows that people throw together alongside their favourite songs but your video has clearly been thought about and enhances one of my favourite songs!

[41Phyllis]

beautiful

[ThePurpleGandalf]

this has been my favorite Christmas song ever since i first heard it, and it always will be.

Peace and love to everyone :3

[lepapycloutier]

why 99 person dont like this song?

[gemannj]

For years i've loved this song but have never known what it was called glad i found it :)

[Asashan96]

Am I the only one who has always thought Pokemon was the queerest invention ever made?

[TheVampireFrog11]

Just worked out what this song is trying to say its the story of Jesus and the spaceman is the angel isnt he :) ?

[SkyeFische]

I found this song on a christmas album.... Ancient Astronaut theory much?

[davyboy176]

❤♫•*❤♫•*❤♫•*❤ Look Melissa its our star , Baby , love you lots ❤♫•*❤♫•*❤♫•*❤

[Thecuregalore94]

This reminds me of Christmas as a young lad :)

[Peachbubblegum2468]

[daanwolthuis]

damn this is song really creeps me out...

[Tom1k9]

the picture for and he had a face like an angel kinda creeped me out it looked like he had done something like murdered someone ad was trying to act all cute to make them forgive him o,o

[Jojoseahorse]

@Tom1k9 LOL I thought he meant the BABY had the face of an angel :)

[Cmastris]

This is such an underrated song- like if you agree!

[nath1821]

evidently given this song was written in the 70s, no one had played pokemon

[hrawet]

i never knew this was a christmas song

[HeresyIsFreedom]

My all time fave Xmas song.

[trackerbacker]

a brilliant a song. Aliens invented xmas. I know - i've met them

[MrLBurton11]

Love this song and I really like the Video too.... High Five!! :-]

[tidymat]

This doesn't get the recognition it deserves. Amazing.

[dedicatedcarper]

why is there a thai massage vid on my sidebar? not quite christmas related!

[arthurmeredith]

AMAZING TUNE

[Swonely]

Tiësto + A Space Man Came Traveling = ???

[UnspecifiedCarnage]

@Swonely = a bag of shit

[punkrock4000]

Every christmas time i come to this exact video!! :D fav christmas song :D

[meloncron]

Seal - Kiss from a rose. Complete rip-off?

[sharonwifey]

@meloncron I can hear the similarity now you have pointed it out!! Naughty Seal!

[CfcBlythy]

Such a tune!

[PerfectChloe]

I love this song and this video is brilliantly made. Thank you and Merry Christmas! :)

[doublem111]

Quite easily the best christmas song of all time. I never get tired of hearing this one.

[sharonwifey]

@doublem111 Abso-freakin-lutely!!! 

[StrathendrickPiper]

2nd best christmas tune, after fairytale in new york

[taztaffie]

Very well done. Merry Christmas everyone and may we experience nothing but peace and goodwill in 2012.

[Partymanchris1]

@taztaffie Hey, I'm really sorry, but the Mayans don't think that 2012 will be a particularly good year for humans in general.. Saw it on CNN so it must be true.

[excelbolt]

@taztaffie good luck.....

[JohnnyTheWolfLupino]

Some lovely Fender Rhodes sounds on this track

[1331adm]

Peace and goodwill to all mankind... amen brother amen!!

[thestevendonaldson]

He probably still believes in santa.

[StrathendrickPiper]

@thestevendonaldson what do you mean believes?

[Zophiea]

such a beautiful song!

[kruskalalgorithm]

Hands up those who came to listen ironically to Chris De Burgh but secretly really properly like this song...don't be afraid to admit it.

[saoirseterri]

@kruskalalgorithm

been listen for 30 years great songs great live

[jokester23]

@kruskalalgorithm why would i be afraid to admit that i listen to an amazing lyricist and vocalist, and why on earth would you only listen to this music ironically?

[bubiunited]

0:33 everyone who's played pokemon knows, light years isn't a measure of time, it measures distance!

[BlueSmurf10]

@bubiunited - Or anyone with a brain?

[simpleasLiam]

@bubiunited legend! lmao

[Asashan96]

@bubiunited He's being poetic you stupid shit.

[some1call999ImDying]

@Asashan96 and he's joking around calm down man

[Asashan96]

@some1call999ImDying pokemon's shit, end of

[some1call999ImDying]

@Asashan96 never said it wasn't but there was no need to go and say that when it was obvious he was making a joke... albiet not a very good one but still

[RandomJackOfDoom]

@Asashan96 You obviously never had a childhood. Now shush and listen to this brilliant song.

[spartamixfan]

@Asashan96 You suck. Who cares what you think? Cop on and think about Christmas.

[spartamixfan]

@bubiunited Then hell yeah. I'm aware. XD

[mannQC]

@bubiunited or everyone who listened to Big Bang Theory

[whereangelsplay1]

@bubiunited Most of us has better things to do with our time

[lindacoull]

Fantastic !! , love it and love the song..

[DoDaCanaDa]

Thank you so very much ceeerrl for uploading this video. I saw Chris de Burgh perform at the bottom of the street I was living on at the time, at Place Des Arts in Montreal so many years ago.

I have embedded your video into the last article uploaded to my Blog titled, 'THE ARMAGEDDON GENERATION.' Your video conveys the Spirit of the letter.

If you search Google with the title, it will lead you right to the link.

Thanks again for this wonderful video. Peace. Ray Joseph Cormier

[BambiTheMessiah]

@lucybuckley11

I think you are missing the poetry... Are you TRYING to ruin Christmas?

[lucybuckley11]

@BambiTheMessiah I wouldn't say it's poetry, I'd say it's a common error. Nonetheless, it's still probably the best Christmas song. ^^

[lucybuckley11]

"T'was light years of time before his mission did start." Light years measures distance, not time...

[Andrewtasticful]

love this song

[BambiTheMessiah]

If Douglas Adams did Christmas songs...

[teachkid2842]

@BambiTheMessiah Oh my days, that would be awesome

[Daegonath]

the most beautiful sound is nahnahnahnhahnahnah. It's quite hilarious when you think about it.

[MrBullbrand]

[TheNatthe]

best song ever and it already hold in generaions

[Sgonzo6Ds]

best tale of jesus christ, and in my opinion much more scientifically viable then the way bibles portrays the mans message

[whitedonkeykong]

i'm normaly a slayer, cannibal corpse type guy musically but i've been listening to chris since i was a kid 'cause of my mom and i cant stop, his lyrics and music are just too beautiful.

[poulter27]

AWESOME SELECTION AND TIMING

[coffieholic]

awsome vid well done

[erinwantstobesigned]

you have done a FANTASTIC job of choosing pictures.. i have to admit i was worried about how you would portray the chorus.. "and suddenly the sweetest music filled the air..".. but when the colours started started pulsing in the Northern Lights, i literally gasped out loud.. you have captured this song perfectly. thank you so much for your effort.

[bazbonehead]

@erinwantstobesigned jeez, a few flashy lights and anyones pleased!

[monkseyman]

@bazbonehead

Except epileptics...

[HeatherRuthDiane]

@bazbonehead Not just a few lights or even the brilliant song, but the fact that someone went to the bother of making it for people to hear. THAT'S what counts.

[erinwantstobesigned]

@bazbonehead peace and goodwill to all men ♥

[TimothyGregoryMusic]

I love this song :)

I think the whole nativity story has something to do with aliens, so this song really strikes a chord with me!

[Rich800black]

1 song of few that will last all eternaty

[AlfieM360]

41 days 12 hours 14 minuets 25 seconds!



[MrBlablabladude]

Great song cant believe people have disliked it where is there spirit.

[Draknix]

I was singing this back in the 80s :) and never have stopped singing it around this time of year

[MrMichaelll123]

When i die, i hope this beautiful song will be played to me, cause then i will know that i am in heaven

[flozner23]

But lightyears is a unit of measurement :(
