Walking In The Air from The Snowman is one of those songs that I can listen to over and over again. I was happy when I found the album at a thrift store!
The very first time I saw The Snowman was many years ago on PBS, and I fell in love with it, as I'm sure many people have. It's such a wonderful, simple story. I haven't been lucky enough yet to find the book by Raymond Briggs.
I was delighted that the album had the lyrics to the hauntingly beautiful song by Howard Blake:
And some pictures from the book to tide me over until I find a copy:
Of course, I have the video, too - and I'll be watching it this season!

I don't know that one well, what a pretty song!! Have you heard of 'Elf on the Shelf"? I just heard of that and may get it for the Grandkids.

ReplyDeleteHi Heidi! Have a great New year surrounded by family , friends or friends who feel like family (in a GOOD way) food and fun! I may just bring in 2019 listening to the whole score to that film.
ReplyDeleteOh, Fuzzy Bunny Slippers, Thank you - and I wish the same for you! I just came from seeing “Mary Poppins Returns” with some dear old friends, so I’m feeling pretty good right about now! I completely loved it, as I knew that I would.
