Jared Halley’s a cappella version of ‘You Raise Me Up’ is a treat for the ears.
Rolf Løvland and Brendan Graham wrote ‘You Raise Me Up’ in 2001, with Graham drawing inspiration from the hymn ‘Be Thou My Vision.’ Josh Groban’s 2003 release brought the song to the spotlight.
Its words speak to millions worldwide about finding hope and strength in God. For many believers, the lyrics beautifully express how God supports us through life’s ups and downs. The song reminds us that we’re never alone in our struggles, with God always there to lift us up.
Jared Halley is known for his great voice and clever arrangements. He’s taken this beloved song and made it his own. In his version, there’s no music backing him up – it’s just Jared and his voice. From the moment he starts singing, you feel drawn in.
What makes Halley’s version special is how he creates a full a cappella with just his voice. He layers different vocal parts to build a rich musical picture. It feels both personal and grand at the same time. His clear, heartfelt singing brings new meaning to words we may have heard many times before.
