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

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

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.

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!

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!

Yeah I agree!

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

woooooooooooow Aled Jones is amazing !

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

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.

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

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 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!

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 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

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

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

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

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

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

Blood??? Eww! I don’t like blood at all!!!!!

am a young boy n i like this, it gives me a great feeling, i will remmber this till death!

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

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!

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

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.

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

omg this is so moving watching him sing with his younger self! :')

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!

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

You Aled has the best voice for this tune

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

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?

It is the most beautiful thing I have heard in ages

So beautiful! Doubly so. Thank you!

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.

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.

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

My right ear loves this song!

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

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.

I LUV ALL OF IT FROM THE TIME I HAD THE BOOK THEN THE FILM,NOW THIS! WOW--THANKS FOR THIS ACCIDENTAL DISCOVERY!!

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

I love this song, but now it is one of my all time favourites, what a clever idea, so beautiful, an amazing voice.

I love this music so much.

Aled Jones you're the best!

bet that got memories back into his head

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

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.

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

Big fans here from ambulance crew:)

Magic. Wonderful moment.

I've Only Just Watched This & I Think its Really Beautiful, God Bless Aled Jones :) xXx

That was gorgeous.

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

This is beautiful.

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

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

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

that is fabulous happy crying

Magic. Just magic.

fantastic to sing together with your 20 year old younger self...

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

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

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

Absolutley brilliant!

both voices are wonderful!

Very cool.. Little creapy.. Like the song also is. In the coolest way. Mystical...

This was wonderful!

That's the EXACT same feeling i get! So funny ^^

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.

Brilliant....!
