"Abigail's Song" was a song that Abigail Pettigrew once sang at the Eleventh Doctor's insistence. Because of the perfection of her voice, she was able to use her melody to resonate the fog crystals in the skies above Sardicktown. This, in turn, unlocked the clouds, created snow, and allowed an endangered spaceship — carrying a honeymooning Amy Pond and Rory Williams — to land safely on Ember. (DW: A Christmas Carol)
Behind the scenes
The song is not not named in narrative, but its name is derived from the soundtrack to A Christmas Carol. Written by Murray Gold and performed by Katherine Jenkins, it prominently featured within the last half of the story.
As with DW: The Gunfighters' "The Ballad of the Last Chance Saloon", it is not just diegetic, but actually vital to the plot.
Several lines of the song are "Silence is all around, Silence is all you'll be and Silence is all you know" which are most likely references to The Silence.
