      I'm on a slow,nostalgic musical journey through the 80s via UA-cam and have reached the closing few weeks of 1985,so I'm playing this. Only thing is by sheer chance it's 25th June - the exact opposite time of the year to Christmas Day!

      The thing is that it's a common misconception that Aled Jones performed Walking in the Air for the Snowman, but it was a different boy. Aled just became synonymous with the song.

    • @joeblack8915
      @joeblack8915 2 роки тому +6

      But the Snowman doesn't feature Aled Jones singing this song. The voice you hear in the Snowman' is that of Peter Auty - which is the superior version as far as I'm concerned.

    I'm Norwegian, but half English, and once my father showed me this and told me it was a christmas tradition in England I kept rewatching it every year, and it's really become a part of my tradition. While it's not on in Norway I take the liberty to go onto UA-cam and cast it to the tv for my Norwegian family to join in with as well.
    Love this song!

    About 35 years ago, I watched the snowman on german television when I was a child. I watched it for some years in a row until it wasn't aired anymore and I've grown older. I forgot the movie. When I was 26 I saw it again by chance on television. I cried instantly. I bought the DVD and watch it on every christmas morning since then. I am 40 now!

    We're walking in the air
    We're floating in the moonlit sky
    The people far below are sleeping as we fly
    I'm holding very tight
    I'm riding in the midnight blue
    I'm finding I can fly so high above with you
    Far across the world
    The villages go by like trees
    The rivers and the hills
    The forest and the streams
    Children gaze open mouth
    Taken by surprise
    Nobody down below believes their eyes
    We're surfing in the air
    We're swimming in the frozen sky
    We're drifting over icy
    Mountains floating by
    Suddenly swooping low on an ocean deep
    Arousing of a mighty monster from its sleep
    We're walking in the air
    We're floating in the midnight sky
    And everyone who sees us greets us as we fly

    Those who are complaining that the video isn't related, it is. It is the official video for Aled Jones' version of walking in the air. And the reason there are not clips from the snowman is because this is a different version. The original (the one from the snowman) is by Peter Auty.

    It reminds you of a time gone. A moment in history when our culture peaked a moment that will be lost in time like tears in rain. Our cultures and traditions will eventually fade away, humanity itself will eventually fade away into nothingness. This song will float around in the vast emptyness of space until even that dissapates into noise and then nothingness. We are all here in this moment, we are blessed and we can be forever, we just have to want it.

This piece will be relived and relived and relived forever.

    I'm still sad because of that fairytale with that Snowman.... It's been 8 years. I don't know why, I've seen a lot of more sad things but this song touched mě so much and it still kinda hurts remembering it.... I was really sensitive when I was small.... But that way the Guy finds that Snowman melted at the end... I think I'll never forget about it... 😔

    wow this song brings back such fond memories of my childhood in aberdeenshire!
    My dad would cover me in flour, sellotape a carrot to my face and tie me to the outside garden fence. All of the local children from the village would pass by and sing "silly snow man , where's your snowballs" while throwing more flour on me to make me look even more like the snowman!! So much fun . Of course you couldn't do that with children these days ,because of woke >:(
    Sometimes he would leave me out there for hours at a time, and on christmas eve, if the crows hadn't gotten to it first he would even let me eat the carrot nose.
