Music has a unique way of touching our hearts and souls, and few songs have done this as powerfully as “You Raise Me Up.” Originally released in 2001, this timeless track has been covered by over 100 artists, including Josh Groban and Westlife. But one rendition, in particular, stands out for its sheer beauty and emotional depth—the acapella version by Brigham Young University’s Vocal Point.
BYU Vocal Point, a nine-member acapella group founded in 1991, has gained widespread recognition for their incredible talent. They rose to fame on their university campus and even secured fifth place in the third season of NBC’s The Sing-Off. In 2018, they signed a record deal with Decca Gold, a classical label under Universal Music Group.
Their rendition of “You Raise Me Up” is nothing short of breathtaking. The group’s harmonies are flawless, and their ability to convey emotion through their voices is truly remarkable. The accompanying music video, which features the group hiking through a rugged mountain landscape, adds a visual element that enhances the song’s powerful message of hope and inspiration.
If you haven’t heard this version yet, you’re in for a treat. It’s a reminder of the timeless beauty of music and the incredible talent of BYU Vocal Point.
