    1. 2.“Peter Auty was a choirboy at St Paul's Cathedral who, at 13, sang 'Walking in the Air' for the 1982 film The Snowman – but in the rush to finish, his name was left off the credits. In 1985 the composer re-recorded it for a Toys 'R' Us commercial, chose Aled Jones instead, and it became a hit single. Many people assumed Jones was the singer in the film.”
    2. 3.“At one point in my life I reached rock bottom. My personal and professional life were blown away right in front of me. I lost everything. Things got better... a lot better, and this song was part of my recovery. It might seem silly, but it brought me peace and comfort.”

    1. 2.“Fun fact: this song was written to be technically impossible to sing. The singer came in, read the music, and sang 85% of what the composer thought was impossible. The rest was added in post.”
    2. 3.“As a child, this was one of the weirdest and most sexually confusing things I ever saw on TV.”

    2. 3.“Makes you cry... because it lets you know what's coming for humanity. There's no turning back when God has had enough of humans' bullshit...”
