Song Meaning of “Walking In The Air – From “The Snowman”” by André Rieu
Walking In The Air tells the story of a young boy on a magical journey in the air to the North Pole. He soars through the night, his excitement and curiosity evident as he discovers a winter wonderland of snow and stars. The song reflects on the boy’s sense of wonder, his innocent enjoyment of the beauty of nature, and his awe at the beauty of the winter night sky. The chorus speaks of the sense of freedom and joy that comes with the experience of flying, as the boy feels like he’s walking in the air. It speaks of the boy’s newfound perspective as he experiences the world from above; feeling connected to the stars, the snow and the world below. The story has a magical, uplifting effect that reminds us of the importance of cherishing the moments of awe and wonder in life.
