Walking In The Air

Postby Ron » 21 Dec 2023 01:51

Walking In The Air

This was recorded by Aled Jones and was written in 1982 for an animated film called The Snowman.
There was a complaint recently that there were no styles for some tunes that members wanted to record.
This is an example of what adaptation can be done.



Video put together by Hugh, based loosely on the film title (The Snowman) and the lyrics ...

We're walking in the air

The villages go by like dreams
The rivers and the hills
The forest and the streams

Nobody down below believes their eyes
We're surfing in the air

We're drifting over icy mountains floating by
Suddenly swooping low on an ocean deep
Rousing up a mighty monster from his sleep
We're walking in the air

And everyone who sees us greets us as we fly

This was quite a challenge, as finding video clips of people 'walking, or flying through the air' isn't something you'd come across every day. So I went for an 'animated' approach, using GIFS that were transparent to run along with suitable video clips. Something completely different for me to look into, and it was certainly inspiring to come up with ideas on how to do this.

I love listening to members performances on this forum and I ALWAYS turn off the speakers on my lap top and plug in my headphones.
