In the intro of Chloë's "Brahm's Lullaby," about the first 15 seconds, there's a woman singing "aaa-oo's." Does anybody know where this is from? I know that I've heard it somewhere before, and it's driving me crazy!
I thought it was part of the soundtrack from The Snowman, but I couldn't find it anywhere in the short (original or TV version), or the soundtrack. It actually sounds a bit similar to the way Peter Auty or Aled Jones sang Walking in the Air, but I haven't been able to find a clip of either one of them humming a similar tune. For a while, every time I heard this intro part, my initial thought was it was the intro to Walking in the Air, only to realize it was a different song after the intro ended. I'm not really sure why. She sings both in that sweet, high voice, but they're in a different key.
It also reminded me of a horror tune, like Children of the Corn or something, but it's definitely not from that and I couldn't put my finger on what horror film it reminded me of. It definitely wasn't the intent of the song to emulate a horror theme, so I abandoned that angle.
I even let Spotify have a go at the intro, but it just identified it as Chloe's Brahm's Lullaby.
I'm pretty sure Chloë's singing that intro part herself, but I'm not sure why the tune sounds familiar.
another former cw who recently sung her own She Moved Thru the Fair can you Guess who it is?
