Hayley Westenra - Walking in the air

One beautiful song

[@superkiwistar]

beauty is in the ears of the beholder. i believe this is yet another masterpiece.

[@lenses79]

Hayley was 12 years old when she recorded this. I wouldn't say one of the best singers in the world then. Nowadays, yes she is.

[@superkiwistar]

Wow. This is another masterpiece. Can't beat Hayley Westenra's voice ... and combined with stunning views, this is a winner.

[@bookwormwen]

Ohmygoooooooosh Hayley Westenra + one of my fave Nightwish songs = I think I just died of happiness...

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

Gracias por compartir la letra de ésta hermosa interpretación. Desde su publicación he disfrutado el álbum Pure de Miss Hayley Westenra. Saludos dese Zapopan Jalisco México hoy 6 de febrero 2022.

[@graemefinlayson236]

Yet another performance of perfect pitch, combined with precise voice control. The upper registers are carried exactly as head voice and the transition to chest voice is seamless. Hayley , many do not understand your control range as you would wish. I know from the comments , however you do know what you have achieved here and it is a masterpiece of presentation. Congratulations.

[@Skyrilla]

Very dramatic and pure. Lovely rendition of the song. The instrumentals are -perfect- in my opinion. I love this... so clean, so serene. Great pitch and tone and tempo.

[@lyncalitz5355]

Kiri and now Hayley! Wow!! Well done NZ!!

[@alejandrodelangelperez8221]

Esta canción es de su primer álbum y creo que es un excelente interpretación y eres un angel.

[@stephenreynolds847]

So beautiful

[@alyna385]

[@harrihiltunen5192]

amazing voice--

[@hardyfh1]

Charming, ethereal.

[@harrihiltunen1244]

legend song....

[@ewamaria3686]

To był przepiękny spacer... dziękuję i pozdrawiam z Polski. Regards from Poland.

[@DPell774]

She gets better every time I here here

[@JonBlizzle2]

Amazing version from an amazing singer. I think she was 13 at the time she recorded this too.

[@zennissh]

beautiful song but I like it better when Chloe sings it :)

[@ioanadimova]

много е хубаво Вени (hug)

[@aerdna14]

Yes, 100% sure. This was written by Blake for The Snowman, which is a 1982 film. Nightwish didn't cover it until more than a decade later.

[@WhisperingGhost13]

I wish she would re-sing this now that she's older, not that this isn't fantastic :) I would just like to know how it would sound now. -This is my FAVORITE christmas song! I was even able to find the movie here (Canada) which is not easy lol

[@havefun137]

Look, I didn't say she was bad. She has a very pretty voice, as well as being very attractive herself. I was just making a personal observation because I sometimes can't understand what she is saying.

[@bmgmadeleine]

@aasigraa yeah I think this was when she was 13 ...

[@kyleday5026]

Hi can u upload the songs from my gift to you by haley and from her debut album 2000

[@aasigraa]

@bmgmadeleine ah maybe yeah. But that must be some years than

[@aasigraa]

@bmgmadeleine :) that explains a lot ! x

[@umaralansari]

Best version is by Aled Jones, with his chorister singing origins, in my honest opinion, even though Westenra's voice is much clearer - but then she is a girl! :)

[@lilsaprano123]

I see you like walking in the air, would you mind listening to me singing this in my local church I am 12 and i also love the song. perhaps you could leave me feedback if you like this. thank you

[@SixDeadly]

@UltimatePilot1 not realy.. you can't compare Tarja Turunnen with Hayley Westerna.. their voice are so different but both magical in the same time.. i would say both versions are pure magic :X

[@superkiwistar]

says who? Hayley can sing it any way she feels is appropriate. she is one of the best singers in the world today and has plenty of experience to judge how it should be sung.

[@Trekfan04]

She should do a duet with Chloe on this song.

[@bmgmadeleine]

@aasigraa this is her a-few years ago , isn't it ?

[@aaronapimerika8736]

As a fellow kiwi I absolutely love Hayley,But as this version goes Hmmmm, I prefer Chloe Agnews version fellow celtic woman.

[@vversusv1364]

Chloe's version is very good, but nothing beats the Peter Auty sung original imo.

[@kenfoster4020]

No offense, but thats why I purposely go find her singing the same song but showing the lyrics. She sings like an angel, now, and then, but your right sometimes on certain songs she is hard to understand.

[@lilsaprano123]

Did she actually record this ?

[@vversusv1364]

Beautiful! Although I prefer the tempo of the original version (not meaning to take away from anything in this version, just my preference).

[@kenfoster4020]

Says ME.

[@marielarsson6462]

Beautiful! But no one sing it as well as Tarja Turunen!

[@marielarsson6462]

True! Hayley sing it amazingly, but no one beats Tarja

[@vversusv1364]

Except perhaps the original singer, Peter Auty, from "The Snowman," which is my preferred version (although I love Tarja's and Hayley's as well).

[@havefun137]

says who?

[@aerdna14]

Uh, no. It belongs to Howard Blake and Peter Auty, the original composer and singer.

[@patryciachan]

Are you sure?

[@baccuskav]

A very good version, but I still like Chloe Agnew's version a lot more.

[@2678912]

бэквокала толкового не хватает. найтвиш получше звучит

[@Uhnkledax]

It doesnt sound very much like her, maybe she was younger then?

[@havefun137]

She needs to pronounce the entire word, not just the first syllable.

[@patryciachan]

This song belongs to Nightwish '-'

[@onegr8harry7]

i love Hayley but don't like the way she sings this song

[@tpstrat14]

don't need drums in this song. YUCK! dislike

[@notmyworld44]

+Timothy Stratton, I totally agree with you. The popular American music culture believes every musical selection should have back-beat trap drums; but actually, Timothy, they are quite subtle in this lovely arrangement. It could have been much worse.

[@tpstrat14]

Wayne Warmack well, yea. They could make a dubstep version. Still, drums don't belong in this song for me.

[@vversusv1364]

Is this even an American musical selection? I know Hayley is a New Zealander, but I suppose that doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the instrumental portion of the song.
