  • Das Lied Walking in the Air wurde 1982 von Howard Blake für den Animationsfilm Der Schneemann (The Snowman) geschrieben, der auf dem gleichnamigen Kinderbuch basiert. Das Musikthema begleitet einen kleinen Jungen und einen Schneemann auf ihrem Flug zum Nordpol. Im Film wird das Lied von dargeboten, der damals im Chor der St Paul’s Cathedral sang. Die 1985 herausgebrachte Single wurde von Aled Jones eingesungen. Sie erreichte Platz 5 in den UK Pop Charts und markierte den Beginn seiner Musikkarriere. In den folgenden Jahren wurden viele weitere Cover-Versionen in unterschiedlichsten Stilrichtungen produziert, von Pop bis Metal. Walking in the Air wurde zu einem alljährlichen Bestandteil des britischen Fernsehens. Das Lied wurde so populär, dass 2006 eine parodistische Version in einem Werbespot für den Softdrink Irn-Bru verwendet wurde. In dem veränderten Text fliegen der Junge und der Schneemann über Edinburgh, Loch Ness und Glasgow. Als der Junge sich weigert, dem Schneemann etwas von dem Getränk abzugeben, nimmt ihm der Schneemann die Dose weg und wirft den Jungen hinunter in den Schnee neben den King George Square. (de)

In the film, the song was performed by St Paul's Cathedral choirboy Peter Auty, and reissued in 1985 (on Stiff Records) and 1987. In 1985, an altered version was recorded for use in a TV advertising campaign for Toys "R" Us. While believed that Auty's voice had then broken, Auty claimed in an interview with BBC Breakfast News on 2nd December 2022 that his voice had not broken and he was never contacted for the recording. Blake recommended the then-14-year-old Welsh chorister Aled Jones, whose recording reached number five in the UK Singles Chart, and who became a popular celebrity on the strength of his performance. The association of the song with Jones, combined with Auty not being credited on The Snowman, led to a common misbelief that Jones performed the song in the film. "Walking in the Air" has subsequently been performed by over forty artists, in a variety of styles. In a UK poll in 2012, the Aled Jones version was voted 13th on the ITV television special The Nation's Favourite Christmas Song. (en)
