Walking in the Air

Chloe Agnew was only 15 or 16 years old when she sang this song, but she already did a magnificent job. Pure, clear, and effortless singing. How can she ever go wrong? This was just an indication of what is to come and what she would become. She is now twenty one and developed into one of the voices of Celtic Woman. Who would think that this young woman is a self-proclaimed rocker by heart as she sings in a heavenly manner:

Intro: Walking in the air, floating the sky...
Floating in the air...

We're walking in the air
We're floating in the moonlit sky
The people far below are sleeping as we fly

We're holding very tight
I'm riding in the midnight blue
I'm finding I can fly so high above with you

Far across the world
The villages go by like dreams
The rivers and the hills, the forest and the streams

Children gaze open mouthed
Taken by surprise
Nobody down below believes their eyes

We're surfing in the air
We're swimming in the frozen sky
We're drifting over icy mountains floating by

Suddenly swooping low on an ocean deep
Arousing of a mighty monster from its sleep

We're walking in the air
We're dancing in the midnight sky
And everyone who sees us greets us as we fly

Chloe Agnew of Celtic Woman

Walking in the Air was composed by Howard Blake, and the soundtrack of the TV film, The Snowman. This is an animated adventure about a young English boy, who made a snowman one Christmas eve, only for it to come into life that night and take him on a magical adventure to the North Pole to meet Santa Claus. Even without the images of the film, Chloe's singing entirely tells the story. Children and old alike will surely love the song's feel of freedom and magic.

Angelic voice plus arrangement and orchestration at its finest equals a work-of-art.
