message: Sarah Brightman never performed Walking in the Air and most definatelly not during the Gala Christmas in Vienna with Domingo, Lotti and Cocciante. So her name should be removed from the list.

:Hi, 212.200.221.204. Please, sign your posts on Talk pages. Also, this page offers an album of the very concert that you mention, with that specific song performed by Riccardo Cocciante, Placido Domingo, the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, and the Gumpoldskirch Boys Choir; although Brightman sings on other tracks on that album, she doesn't sing this song. Proving a negative (that Sarah Brightman never sang "Walking in the Air") is difficult. But, because Wikipedia should have citations for its information, I will add a tag indicating that a citation for the statement about Brightman has yet to be provided. — President Lethe 01:41, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  But by performed don't we mean that it was released in an album or single of some sort or a concert? Just going through her discography should be able to "prove" it. For example I've sung this song but it doesn't mean I should be included on this page. 219.77.98.166 13:25, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  As a collector of versions of Walking in the Air I should know this... Sarah didn't perform the song during that event for sure (It was broadcasted in several countries so probably a few milions of people can verify that). I also own everything Sarah has ever released and Walking in the Air isn't available on any on her CDs and I can guarantee it wasn't performed on any of the dates of the last three tours. --212.200.220.159 00:06, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

message: This song is also used in the Christmas television advertisements for the Irish postal service every year; at least it was in the 90s and 00s. Would that qualify for inclusion in this page? Kumorifox (talk) 22:39, 1 October 2011 (UTC)

message: Is there a reason for the Nightwish version to have its own section and not be listed amongst the other covers? It seems a little inconsistent. I think it would make much more sense including it in the notable covers section and deleting the Nightwish section. 82.33.54.253 (talk) 14:55, 25 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: As this is a page relating to the song itself, and not any particular recorded version of it, I agree that the Nightwish single should not be given its own section on this page, nor should the footer contain a dedicated Nightwish section.  However, Nightwish's single is significant in the context of the band themselves, as well as their discography, being a number one single in their home country of Finland. As such, I would offer the suggestion that Nightwish's single warrants its own page - , but with links to this one for the purpose of historical interest, as well as fitting into the chronology links in the infoboxes for their prior and subsequent singles.  While I recognise that this could open the floodgates for every other recorded version released as a single, perhaps those other singles do warrant their own pages.  This page is about the song and its history, not any particular single or other recording. Morogth (talk) 20:28, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Further to my previous comment, I note that there was, in fact, a page for the Nightwish , which was changed into a redirection page to this article despite links to it already being in place.  Bearing in mind my comments above, would it not be more appropriate to restore that previous revision, ensuring that relevant links are in place and up to date?

thread_title:  Nightwish Version 

message: I heard a piano-only version of this song that I think was a TV show intro.  I didnt watch the show, I just recognized the melody.  I remember seeing people swimming.  It could have been a movie, but there's no way it could have been the Snowman movie (which I also havent seen) unless The Snowman starts out being a live-action film about swimmers. Can anyone help? Also Im not sure about the 1975  music piece tyhat this was an adaptation of; I cant find any info about that either to see if the swimmer theme could have been adapted directly from that instead.  Of course, "swimming" appearsi n the lyriucs of the song, making it harder to search for. —Soap— 18:07, 28 January 2015 (UTC)
