[@ramshacklerozza]

I know it’s about Christmas, and maybe aliens, but the chorus actually does sound like something so divinely and infinitely mesmerising that it could be from a more beautiful outer space

[@m-l7127]

Extremely beautiful and deeply moving. It's very similar to what we feel happened. If we'd just learn that Love Is The Message and that ALL of God's creatures under our Sun are meant to be here and are deserving of love and respect. We're missing out on such miraculous wonders with all the greed and mistreatment of others. It's not too late to enjoy all of life again. Connections are everything and bring the elusive joy we seek.

[@Liz-ek3hc]

Beautiful comment!

[@MatthewSmith-xl5cr]

If we didn’t include god. We could just appreciate the finite time we have here, and look after each other, as humans. We don’t need god to do that. We don’t need god at all when we have each other as the human race.

I’m in my teens and I can honestly say I hate the music of my generation! I grew up listening to Bruce Springsteen and Billy Joel (and the list goes on), I’m actually embarrassed at this modern music as it is so tasteless and repetitive. It doesn’t tell stories like the way music used to. I actually think it’s really sad, especially that there are so few people my age who think the same.

[@marieblue]

British-Irish Chris de Burgh’s “A Spaceman Came Travelling” (1975) might well be the most original Christmas song ever. The theme is that the Christmas story of Jesus was inspired by an extraterrestrial being. (WHY NOT❓) The core message of this tune is the one that lies at the heart of the world’s major religions, which probably accounts for its universal appeal❗️ 💚🌎💜
