The acapella rendition of “You Raise Me Up” will give you goosebumps

It’s no secret that music resonates with many of us, almost as if it possesses its own unique language.

For centuries, as long as humans have been able to listen, music has held a significant place in our cultures, stirring deep emotions and inspiring countless individuals. While musical styles evolve over time, some songs remain timeless, continuing to evoke strong feelings and find appreciation long after their initial release.

One of the remarkable aspects of music, and songs in particular, is the unique interpretation each artist brings. A perfect example of this is “You Raise Me Up”, a classic first introduced in 2001 and later covered by notable artists like Josh Groban in 2003 and Westlife in 2005

Chances are you’ve heard this song, if not, it’s definitely worth a listen. The fact that over 100 artists have covered it speaks volumes about its enduring appeal. Among all the versions of this cherished ballad, one that stands out for its haunting beauty is performed by Brigham Young University’s Vocal Point.

Founded in 1991 by BYU students Dave Boyce and Bob Ahlander, BYU Vocal Point is a nine-member acapella group that quickly gained immense popularity on campus and finished fifth in NBC’s third season of The Sing-Off.

In 2018, they announced a record deal with Universal Music Group’s classical label, Decca Gold. Jason Bromley, one of the group’s members, remarked: “We’re ordinary college students doing extraordinary things”.

Diddy’s mother, Janice Smalls Combs, spoke to Local 10 News on Sunday about her son’s recent issues. She acknowledged that her 54-year-old son might have lied about the domestic violence seen in a video but said this doesn’t mean he is guilty of the sexual assault accusations against him.

In a statement shared by Fort Lauderdale attorney Natalie G. Figgers, Diddy’s mother said, “My son is not the monster they have painted him to be.”

Meanwhile, a Houston attorney announced on Tuesday that he is representing 120 people who have accused Diddy of sexual misconduct.

The music executive is also awaiting trial for sex trafficking at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.
