这首歌最初是动画片《雪人》（The Snowman）的插曲。
walking in the air是一首很老的很经典的歌。无数的人都唱过。无数的人用无数的方式演绎过。我也听过别的童声唱的，但是怎么都没有办法和Declan的声音相比。这个孩子的声音高亢亮丽，又带着童真的感觉，无忧无虑中仿佛让人看见天使在闪光。
Declan Galbraith。一个10岁上下的男孩。来自英国肯特郡（Kent）。传说他是在一个类似游园会的地方，唱了一首《walking in the air》被人发现。这首歌几十年来被翻唱了不知道多少次，比较知名的有：
1. Declan Galbraith
2. Peter Auty
3. Hayley Westenra
4. Nightwish
5. Hank Marvin
6. Placido Dominigo
7. Sarah Brightman
8. Helmut Lotti
9. Riccardo Cocciante
10. Cliff Richard
11. St Philips Boys Choir (Liam O'Kane)
12. Phil Coulter
13. Chloe Agnew
14. Aled Jones
等等……
上述每个人都能唱的让人感觉到欣赏，但是童声演绎的Walking In The Air实在难以抵御，纯真洁净而又豪迈的高音，仿佛把人带到了高高的云端，迎风飞行……相信Declan就是用童声演绎这首歌的人中的佼佼者！！！
英文歌词 - Walking In The Air 《漫步云端》
作曲：Howard Blake
We're walking in the air
We're floating in the moonlit sky
The people far below are sleeping as we fly
I'm 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 trees
The rivers and the hills
The forests and the streams
Children gaze open mouth
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 floating in the midnight sky
And everyone who sees us greets us as we fly
歌词翻译 - Walking In The Air 《漫步云端》
我们在空中漫步
我们在空中穿梭 我们漂浮在月光照耀得空中
我们飞翔的时候人们在下方沉睡
我们紧紧地拥抱
我在蓝色的夜空下驰骋
我发现我能和你在如此高的空中飞翔
远远的穿越世界
村庄像梦一样略过
还有大河和群山
森林和溪流
孩子们吃惊的张开了嘴
下面没有人相信他们的眼睛
我们在清冷的空中游泳
我们从漂浮的冰山上越过
我们从空中俯冲入深深的大海
把巨大的海怪从沉睡中惊醒
我们在空中漫步
我们在空中漫步
我们在午夜的空中舞蹈
我们飞过时每个人都向我们问候

英文背景介绍（Backgound）：
One winter morning a little boy named James wakes up to find that everything outside has turned snow-white. Overjoyed, James rushes downstairs and into the garden, where he begins to build a snowman. James sleeps fitfully, and at midnight he wakes up and decides to check on his snowman. He opens the back door... he can't believe his eyes... The snowman has come to life! James finds himself face to face with a smiling snowman, who with a polite doff of his hat introduces himself and marks the beginning of magical friendship and marvellous adventure
Howard Blake grew up in Sussex, at 18 winning the Hastings Festival Scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music, of which he is now a Fellow. Initially working as a composer and conductor for television and cinema, his prolific output include many film scores, including Ridley Scott's The Duellists (Special Jury Prize at Cannes) and A Month in the Country, (BFI Anthony Asquith Award for musical excellence).
Howard's diverse body of work include compositions for the Royal Shakespeare Company, ballet scores for London Contemporary Dance Theatre, Ballet Rambert, The Sadler's Wells Royal Ballet and Gothenburg Opera for the opening of their new theatre in 1996. His classical, chamber and choral works range from the oratorio Benedictus, recorded by Sir David Willcocks to a Piano Concerto for Princess Diana's 30th birthday. Granpa and The Land of Counterpane to a Concerto for Flute and String Orchestra and the score for The Bear.
In 1982 he wrote both words and music for The Snowman, which has become a classic. The Snowman stage-show and ballet have performed world-wide to much critical acclaim, and both the film and CD are perennial best sellers. The haunting theme song Walking in the Air is recognisable the world over.
It achieved a unique status among singles in the UK when at its first release two different recordings charted at the same time. In recognition of his services to music, in all its forms, Howard Blake was awarded the OBE in 1994. The Snowman, Walking in the Air by Howard Blake is published by Faber Music.
