Lyrics

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary
When troubles come and my heart burdened be
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

You Raise Me Up composed by Rolf Løvland & written by Brendan Graham. It was recorded by Secret Garden & Brian Kennedy. Although the original version was not a hit, the song has since been recorded by more than 100 artists, notably Josh Groban, Westlife, Aled Jones & Celtic Woman.

Løvland composed an instrumental piece in 2001 & titled it Silent Story. He approached Irish novelist & songwriter Brendan Graham to write the lyrics, after reading Graham's novels. The song performed for the first time at the funeral of Løvland's mother. The original vocalist was Johnny Logan, who recorded a demo with an orchestra. However, the vocalist was changed due to a desire to distance the album from the Eurovision, in which all 3 men were known for.

In 2002, it was released on the Secret Garden album Once in a Red Moon, with the vocals by Brian Kennedy. The middle 8 is performed by Tracey Campbell-Nation & backing vocals are by London Community Gospel Choir & Anúna. Kennedy was supposed to follow Secret Garden on their Asian tour, but Curb Records couldn't come to an agreement with Universal & he reluctantly could not attend the tour. He was replaced by Jan Werner Danielsen, who also later recorded the song with Secret Garden.

In 2018 composer Jóhann Helgason claimed the song infringed the copyright of his 1977 work Söknuður, sung by Vilhjálmur Vilhjálmsson stating that Løvland would have heard the song while living in Iceland. The Performing Rights Society of Iceland analyzed both songs & found a 97% similarity between them, stating that the songs are musically identical except for just two notes. It was disclosed at a press conference that Groban had Söknuður played for him in 2007, who reacted in an 'alarmed' fashion. He then admitted that the 2 songs were similar & he didn't know where the inspiration came from. Edgar Smári performed Söknuður in English to outline the similarities.

In 2019 the US District Court granted summary judgment in favor of Løvland & Graham, finding that it is not substantially similar to Icelandic song Soknudur as a matter of law & excluding plaintiff's expert musicologist's reports as unreliable, unhelpful & inadmissible. The court acknowledged that the songs have similarities, but accepted the argument that those similar parts were not necessarily Helgason's own work in the first place; substantially the same material is in Londonderry Air (the melody of Danny Boy) & other old public-domain songs.

The Secret Garden version charted at #103 in the UK Singles Chart. Despite this modest initial success, the song has since become a major hit around the world, having been covered more than 125 times. Daniel O'Donnell's version reached #22 in the UK. Brian Kennedy's solo version reached #91.

Selah's version, included in their 2004 album Hiding Place, peaked at #2 on Billboard's Hot Christian Songs & Christian Airplay. This recording was nominated for Song of the Year at the 2005 Dove Awards.

Josh Groban took his version to #73 in the Billboard Hot 100 & for six weeks no1 in the US Adult Contemporary chart, Westlife reached #1 in the UK Singles Chart with theirs & Wesley Klein hit #4 in the Netherlands.

In 2004, it was played more than 500,000 times on American radio. In late 2005, there were over 80 versions available in US alone & it has been nominated for Gospel Music Awards 4 times, including Song of the Year.

Josh Groban's version was nominated for a 2005 Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance.
