today's song is from a uk television adaptation of the children's book the snowman. the film is without dialogue save an introduction and this song. it is sung by a young boy as the boy protagonist and his snowman, who has come to life in the film, take to flight and venture to the north pole where they meet father christmas.
kenny loggins chose to record it and have it as the opening song to his holiday album december.
i love this song for it's ethereal quality. i think it perfectly conveys the almost mystical feeling that permeates the scene of a freshly fallen snow at night.
i've taken many a walk through such a setting. at times it's been with a light heart and at times a heavy one. always i've found that i've been glad for the experience. hopefully, you will feel the same after listening to this aural reproduction.
