What a delight to discover this wonderful performance of the Irish Christmas song by Chris de Burgh - and with the beautiful Irish mezzo Patricia Bardon. Great to see and hear her in good voice; brings back memories of a wonderful Messiah in Cork some decades ago.

[@rsmithson100]

OMG ......... What can I say. Utterly sublime.

[@audiop2p727]

[@omarie30]

Most definitely

[@MisterSands]

I'm a big burly biker and I unashamedly cry at this version.

[@razanahmed5261]

The children when they say "la la la" thing it's so amazing :'(

[@lilnip67]

There are 2 types of assholes on every video that has a few likes. 1 ) The Troll. They make it a point to say rotten things especially to piss people off and get comments. They don't get any attention in life. Typically pretty smart. Usually a guy and in serious need of a girlfriend before he blows up something. :( 2) Just the typical kid who is pretty much like the troll as far as not having any kind of healthy social life. Hide behind a computer and rant on. If people ignore them then they will move on to another post. They are ALWAYS so predictable. lol. ALWAYS!!!!! :P

[@simvastatinable]

Uff :-( - Dont destroy the song!

[@Nobbi111]

Booaahh Die Schrecken aber vor nichts zurück !! Schrecklich !!

[@AndreasVerleysen]

Beautiful played but horrible pronunciation.

[@luther0013]

You lot ruined that song

[@propheccy]

the orchestra is very good. the children are also good. the male singer sings technically good but without true passion, and the two women, well, seriously, they are both just bad. Especially the first one is really creepy, she looks completely busted. I have friends who are singers and studying singing and they are already far, far better not only technically, but especially emotionally. in any case, kudos to the orchestra and the children!

[@t16hpl]

With all due respect to the two beautiful ladies who sing,am I the only one who would love to hear Johaan sing the entire song??what a beautiful voice

[@fadinaim695]

Loved this, but I really wish it didn't have that crackle sound! Gosh that shit was annoying AF!

[@gc9522]

I thought it was my headphones!

[@jarosawp7908]

"This lovely music went trembling through the ground" ....

[@kevarm1279]

A piecs of heavenly music.. oh my God what a performance ...I think even Chris de burgh is shocked and impressed

[@duxberry1958]

all i can say is this version is just amazing just amazing .

[@paulhbrown]

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 by 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 the 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"

[@Sacriphyx]

Wow! What a magnificent tribute to this epic song by the legendary Chris DeBurgh!

[@grk4852]

I sooo wish this was in better quality with no "ticks" in the refrain.. awesome song

[@grklaver]

+Johnnie Larkin same!!! but none with the choir on the back..

[@grk4852]

+Johnnie Larkin seems it was on some CD.. and that has a much better quality... i cant find it.. too bad...

[@megarachnid]

I own the DVD. This was a concert released on DVD. There is the question should I try to upload it to KZbin? Then I need to rip the DVD, edit the video and upload it.

[@andreap9869]

i like gregorian and celtic woman versions better kzbin.info/www/bejne/inbMaGCErLuYbbM and kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYm2qqSBbqqFiNU

[@user-zk1hx4xz5o]

[@2010guenni]

Best Chris de Burgh Cover ever

[@superstar1222222]

About the last time they said "la la la" i felt somtehing magical inside me!! Creds to the three singers and the fantastic kid choir and ofc the orchestra! truly amazing!

[@lesleyhanson8359]

I LOVE THIS VERSION OF "A SPACEMAN CAME TRAVELING ". I HAVE BEEN PLAYING AND LISTENING TO IT ALL DAY!! I ALSO LIKE CHRIS DE BURGH 'S VERSION. I FIRST HEARD THIS SONG N THE RADIO YEARS AGO AND I JUST FELL IN LOVE WITH IT!!

[@samueljimenez1]

When 2000 years from your time has gone by this song will begin once again

[@Valravna]

Goosebumps all the way.... damn..

[@annettemurray1594]

Me to my brother gave me this... sadly he has passed

[@MartyMartin87]

This one is the very first song that I played to on my new saxophone, today! It's such a great christmas song. *Chris De Burgh - A Spaceman Came Travelling* It's very melodic and easy to learn.

[@stilllivinginheaven]

2:18 So much power

[@brianocallaghan7172]

enchantingly sung.stunning music and vocals.celebrates the best in us "harmony" !

[@MartyMartin87]

the pan flute part is awesome

[@brianocallaghan7172]

just might be the most uplifting song/chant I have ever heard .listening to music for 55years .masterful rendition.

[@Banties]

2:23 your welcome

[@omarie30]

An absolutely fantastic rendition of chris’ song

[@rakashe1]

no matter how its done,this song still sounds awesome

[@stevenmoran4060]

When this came out 48 years ago nobody had heard of Chris De Burgh. Not many more know about this track either, they think of Lady in Red which to me was his worst ever effort and killed his following. This was so different to what was around at the time and the mainstream basically ignored it for Slade or Wizzard. Both great records at the time but in original form has stood the test of time.

[@nicholasstout1204]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW

[@starmessenger]

Love This!!!

[@billkeong1452]

Magnificent, something, very different,.

[@MoffetsGhost]

Too bad that there is this "crackle" sound during the refrain :´(

[@charlieRicketts]

amazing song...eivor

[@remcomooren9285]

1:53 and the awesome piece of this video starts!

[@t16hpl]

Remco Mooren I have to agree,I would dearly love to hear him sing the whole song

[@carlosalbertodemourajano]

lindo... divino... braaavoooo

[@bonlaviejameshsiungbonlavi3260]

A spaceman streets of London... No food and no drink... Streets of 宇宙... Back to the Space... Or live in earth... 拯救末日的飛船 沒家的地球 沒吃喝的母親 Spaceman Where is my home...

[@propheccy]

[@Soraptor]

This is one he greatest things I have ever heard in my life. I am serious. This is musical talent at its peak, I doubt anyone could follow this.

Bester "Spaceman" ever

[@hjorturjonsson9870]

I like this arrangement by Karl O Olgeirsson but listen to this one as well: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4mXoaNunsuLoLc by Páll Óskar (Paul Oscar)

[@osibosi99]

Ótrúlega fallegt lag 😍

[@oceanic646]

takk fyrir opinbera! Mer finnst ljodid gott.Pad er skadi peir eru ad syngja enskur og ekki islenska. Kvedja fra Pyzkalandi.

[@1958ernest]

eine perfektes Cover, vorallem die Chorstellen

[@dominicedwards-wilds4333]

I cry at this every time

[@megarachnid]

This upload of the song is broken. Those "ticks" in the chorus ruin it. Here is a better version: kzbin.info/www/bejne/an7Sp2WZhtGWq9U

[@vaughanrichards7438]

Scandinavians always can't pronounce soft 'S' so when she sings 'This lovely music..' it sounds really cute!

[@simondebeer9917]

Ineffable

[@bobbyuk1980]

Has no one even noticed that tis is a song about a spaceman travelling to earth 2000 years ago and it's being sung in a church Whitchurch believe that Jesus came here 2000 years ago! I think maybe everyone missed that!!!,

[@dianavisentin7640]

Fantastica esibizione!!! Coinvolgente all'ennesima potenza!!!

[@Marc443]

This shows as well what a brilliant composer and song writer Chris de Burgh is.

[@kiddalingur]

hvernig í fjandanum fórst þú að þessu ?? eða þið ?? kræst im impressd

[@Tconl]

Is there a more clear version of this without crackling?

[@alexandramay3665]

The voice of the first woman singing is really scary.. o.O

Crap y does my teacher want me to listen to this!

[@rwoc600]

Morden101 I despair of people who think music like this "crap". May I tell you what is crap? Listening to "Baby baby baby ohh". I am tired of people saying that is good music. If you think so, by all means listen to it, but don't complain when someone wants to show something different. (Morden this paragraph is meant for epic fails, not you. :) )
