    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

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.
