First, more than anything else, through my own mental association(s), Aled Jones' 'Walking in the Air' from 'The Snowman' just aesthetically reminds me of how beautiful Britain and its culture once were (e.g. Shakespeare; Blake; Coleridge; Wordsworth; Thomas Hardy; DH Lawrence; Anglican evensong; the Old Latin Mass in Catholic Lancashire; Larkin; English folk music etc.) before the politically-'correct' anti-Christian totalitarian ideology took control of the country.
Second, Mark Lanegan does my favourite version of the incredibly beautiful 'Cherry Tree Carol':
Love the image of a fetal Jesus ordering the cherry tree to lower its branches for His Mother.
