There's another solo-piano version here which includes some clips from the movie, if you're interested in that.

"Keep clear of the dupes that talk democracy,
And the dogs that bark revolution.
Drunk with talk, liars and believers.
I believe in my tusks.
Long live freedom and damn the ideologies!"

A little (more) Christmas music
An instrumental version of "Walking In The Air" from The Snowman, a British animated TV flick that amounts to a kinda-sorta Limey appropriation of our own beloved Frosty. The movie is something of an oddball; for one thing, there's nary a word of dialogue other than the lyrics to the with-vocals version of this tune. Likewise, "Walking In The Air" is a departure from the usual cheery, upbeat Christmas-music fare: somber, delicate, and haunting. "Deck The Halls" it ain't. But I really like it just the same. Try it on for size and see if it fits ya.
