A group of men gathered in the mountains to perform the powerful song “You Raise Me Up,” and their performance has deeply touched many people.
The group, BYU Vocal Point, is known for their beautiful acappella renditions, and this particular performance has been described as one of their best. If you enjoy listening to pure vocal harmonies without instruments, then you’re likely to love this version of the song.
BYU Vocal Point was formed nearly 30 years ago by students at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. Over time, the group has gained a large following, with more than 520,000 subscribers on their YouTube channel.
They are known for their creative arrangements, sense of humor, and remarkable vocal percussion. Their performances have earned them several awards and a reputation for excellence in acappella music.
In this rendition of “You Raise Me Up,” the group sings against a breathtaking mountain backdrop, which enhances the emotional impact of the song. The performance begins with Jantzen Dalley singing the opening lines, and soon other members join in.
As the performance progresses, their voices blend together in perfect harmony, creating a sound that many listeners have described as angelic. One member also adds beatboxing, which gives the performance a unique touch.
The song itself has been covered by over 125 different artists, but it was Josh Groban’s 2003 version that made it especially popular.
However, Vocal Point’s version has garnered over 10 million views, and many people have commented that it moved them to tears. One viewer shared, “Halfway through the first sentence, I was tearing up instantly. This is so beautiful!”
The original version of “You Raise Me Up” was composed by Rolf Lovland from the Irish-Norwegian duo Secret Garden, with lyrics by Brendan Graham.
Since then, it has become a well-loved anthem that has been performed all around the world. BYU Vocal Point’s version stands out because of the purity of their voices, the stunning scenery, and the emotional depth they bring to the performance.
If you’re looking for something uplifting, this video is a must-watch. Many people have said that it gives them chills and inspires them to raise others up as well.
The combination of music, emotion, and nature creates an unforgettable experience that stays with you long after the song ends.
