Walking in the Air


Thanks to Daughter #1 who reminded me today of one of my all-time favorite songs, "Walking in the Air" by Howard Blake. Her daughter has been learning the song from the video version of Raymond Briggs' The Snowman, for which Blake wrote the music. It's lovely and haunting - and you can see and hear it on YouTube.

YouTube has many other versions of the song, and the Choirboys cover is pretty good, but the original is still the best.
