The movie this song went to, is probably one of the very few good memories I have with staying at my grandma's house (on my dad's side) during Christmas. As a child this movie was one of my top favorites and this song was always perfect for it. Thank you

Really exquisite. I hope this man's career survived his puberty, because he is a fabulous adult singer as well.

This version of Walking in the Air is fantastic. Aled Jones sings duet style with his younger self. It's my favourite version of all.

Brilliant duet (after 20 years) and Heavenly gifted voice! Thank you for uploading this!

That was fantastic. I am convinced that most vocalist sound best when harmonize with themselves. This was so nice. I wish I had some recording of when I was younger to compare. All of it was lost.

What a wonderful idea to combine the young and adult Aled in one video! Execellent! Thank you.

Like a musically gifted time-traveler, Aled Jones masterfully harmonizes with his youthful persona to REcreate the 'Snowman' classic tune once again! A beautiful duet, giving fresh, spiritual energy to an already beloved Christmastime melody!

Kid, you have the voice of one hundred angels.

Yeah I agree!

It's really rare for a person to sing beautifully when he was young and when he's a tenor. God really has given him a good gift!

I love this version of the song. So beautiful and so peaceful. Regards from the Republic of Panama.

This is probably my favorite song of all time. It gives me goosebumps and makes my voice catch every time I hear it. It's amazing to hear Aled singing with what he recorded as a child.

I love it, just as I love every song he sings with his young self! He's an amazing singer!

Wonderfully done. Singing a duet with his young self. He has definitely developed to be a stronger singer.

Marin, agreed. Brilliant idea. Check also Luciana Zogbi singing Despicito with her alter ego imaginary sister.

i can not believe he has done this, i absolutely love this song..... Thanks Aled Jones.

and the lovely Welsh accent comes through as an adult. What an outstanding voice!

Too beautiful for words. I always felt that the relationship between the boy and the Snowman was a metaphor for the imagination; the bond between the self and the mind. Stumbling upon this video -- a duet between the same person, walking in the air together -- overwhelmed me.

I feel like crying... I could tell, when he was singing that again with his younger self, he remembered every single fabulous moment he sang Walking In The Air when he was a teen.... I bet he wished he could sing like that again and you could tell he was bursting with pride, joy and that he was waiting all those years to sing that song again. I think he even remembered the lyrics from all those years ago. It was beautiful xoxo

Oh wow!!!! This gave me chills! Imagine singing with your younger self! This is tuly powerful!

woooooooooooow Aled Jones is amazing !

Words can't describe how amazing that was... Seeing him sing with his younger self made me cry, I'm definitely listening to it on Christmas Day. xoxo

I LOVE this mas, loved him as a boy and now as a man. Beautiful voice, beautiful face, beautiful man. Pitty we dont see him as much these days. Merry Christmas everyone. xxx

Peter Auty was uncredited for his ORIGNAL recording of this song in ‘82 when The Snowman first aired. Aled covered it for an ‘85 rerelease of the film and took credit for Peter’s work and ran with it for his own claim to fame. Peter Auty will always be the original and the best.

Yes!!! Thank you for saying that! Peter Auty should be receiving the credit for singing this beautiful song.

I like how they showed him both young and older. so emotional lol

This is the first time that I've seen this, though i downloaded the track a while ago. A lovely rendition from someone who seems a lovely person!

Beautiful. The two voices meld quite well, in my opinion.

This gives me Goosebumps. The young Aled is gone from us forever, we will never hear him sing live again… Well OK he’s grown up into Aled as we know him today, but it still gives me a weird feeling.

Wow!! That's awesome! Thanks for the video! His two voices are both so beautiful; I can't decide which one I like better.

Now that was wonderful! I bet he never saw that duet coming, back in 1985...

This video makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up, it's absolutely fantastic. One person with two of the greatest voices, I wish there were more of his songs like this. On another tack, has anyone got a copy of young Aled singing Ave Maria?

wow... for both, for the duet, for peter auty -i can never get over him- and for the song

How about just appreciating this for what it is...It's amazing, warm and loving...

This song is so beautiful. I went and saw Aled Jones live in a concert when he came here to Australia. He told the audience how he recorded this. Well done.

Absolutely fantastic! I was transfixed throughout this magical mix. Thank you so much for uploading this.

Sweet Jesus! It's not easy to sing the same song with two different voices! Gives me goose pimples!

I understand you, I had thought that for 12 years until recently, and it came as an unpleasant chock for me.. but it didn't take long until I started to like the song even more because of that.. god bless Aled Jones!

It is the most beautiful thing I have heard in ages

I just close my eyes,listen to it again and again,and it gives me chills every time, in the word's best meaning!So much beautiful!!!

Makes me feel like being 6 or 7 again, Christmas time, getting to stay up late, seeing the snowman... Really great!

j'adore cette chanson que je ne connaissais pas....et si bien chantée par le petit et le grand ensemble!!

This Is Just BLOODY Wonderful.... Dare You Not To Be Moved....? If Your Not.... Your Made Of Stone... With No Soull Nor Feeling...

I already have! I bought it last Christmas. But I wanted to watch it here and enjoy seeing them together. Only one channel works on here. All other you tube clips work fine, just this one.

1:34-1:42 - you can see his emotion so clearly, it's amazing

that song make me cry and I loved this song since I was a baby and I am in loved this song

This is stunning. Emotional and allwsys brings a tear the voices work so well I’m getting goose bumps Thankyou Aled young and now I played this thinking of mr Raymond Briggs Rest in peace sir ⛄️

I love this song and also the snowman story.

So beautiful! Doubly so. Thank you!

Great lyrics @ 3:00 "...and everyone will see those pizzas as we fly....." Classic.

amazing. andrews johnston sings just like him when he was a kid.. love it!

My right ear loves this song!

Past meets present in beautiful synergy, who could possibly dislike this, these people must be oblivious to the magic that is The Snowman. Beautiful voice of adult Aled Jones as well

Incredibly well performed! Fantastic voice(s)!

This is Aled singing..both parts. Merry Christmas.. Todd.

A man singing with a recording of his younger self... I doesn't get much sadder than this...

Also, I'd like to add that sometimes you experience such beauty that you ache and pain... Sometimes sorrow can be derived from the undefinable of the human experience; Such things can touch your soul that as you stand on the refuse of the idols of gods, that you wonder that those gods may have lived and willed. Music is the tears for the beauty of life that we have yet to understand but transcends us as animals. Music is the voice we might cry into the nothing though none are sure to hear. Songs such as this are the testament that we are not as stone or fire, but more and none the same.

Reminds me of an X reg Volvo 345 facelift model of late 1981 as this song was created at this time due to the cold winter of December 1981 and January 1982.

It was originally created for the cartoon The Snowman which was released in 1982.. Aled didnt sing it in the cartoon, Peter Auty was the original singer, but because his voice had broken, Aled was asked to sing it to promote a Toys R Us advert, and a single of it by Aled was released in 1985. It reached No2 in the UK charts in November 1985.

I think this is my favorite version of the song

bet that got memories back into his head

ive met this dude and he did this impression for me on south today

The best version of this song I've ever heard. A perfect duet with himself. Should have had an official release

Not in the same class as the Peter Auty version

All so amazing. Intro by Bowie, fab composer\ lyrics, kids book, luv how he rolls his R’s

A wonderful idea. And a great execution. What a great video.

I haven't heard Peter Auty sing this, but I found Aled [the baritone] dubbed over Aled [the treble], very enjoyable. He had [has] a fine voice at both stages of his career.

So true. It is quite the experience, isn't it? To simultaneously see and hear the boy as the man he was to be and the boy that he once was reaching to each other through time. Beautiful.

somehow both my speakers are playing now lol. In the end of the song :D Excelent version. I love it :D

That was gorgeous.

Beautiful great magnificent great I can't say enough no words can describe it it's just beautiful great what else can we say

Aled has done well over the years will all the programmes he's done on tv .

I remember Walking in the Air and grew up with it. The key is D minor. I am six months older than Aled and so an exact contemporary.

@Igloofucker Peter Auty sang the original song in the animated film The Snowman, but Aled did a cover version of it for an advert for the company Toys R Us, and that was the version that reached No5 in the UK charts in November 1985. Hope this helps.

I love this music so much.

Wow. That's amazing. Who better to duet with than yourself? Aled Jones has an amazing talent, and this is a supurb way of showcasing it.

7-20-2016 long this song and you must go watch the cartoon loved the snowman beautiful song enjoy everyone

Aled Jones you're the best!

One of the loveliest versions of this song. And I should know. Ever since I was a child I searched for this song without knowing anything about it. Once I found the name of the short movie I went through all the versions out there until I hit the source. Until now I thought you couldn't beat the original... Glad to find I was wrong!

Aled I wish yo see you face. You are amazing singer God bless you

Sublime. Absolutely beautiful - one of the lovliest songs to be an accompanying pianist for.

He should re-release the song but this version! Its awesome!

I've got the soundtrack 33 and half album. One of the best music animated scores ever. The film is one of the best animated shorts ever. The ending says it all. The ending is timeless. Poignantly done with empathy. Life is not a bowl of cherries. Remember that.
