An incredibly talented trio of siblings called Life in 3D turned in a soul-stirring cover performance of “You Raise Me Up,” which strikes a powerful note.
Attempting to cover songs from a select group of performers sets you up for failure. Those tunes are often so beloved and sung by musicians with such powerful and distinctive voices that it’s nearly impossible to replicate. Any deviation from the original version will likely be met with widespread disapproval.
Anyone who goes on The Voice, American Idol, or America’s Got Talent and attempts to sing a track from Adele, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, or Aretha Franklin better be able to sing. All those women were blessed with strong and powerful voices.
Another person who could be added to that group of singers with amazingly powerful voices is Josh Groban. His stunning, operatic voice is best known for belting out the lyrics to “You Raise Me Up.” Anyone following him better bring it, or they will likely fall flat on their face.
In a clip posted on YouTube, Life in 3D brought it, and then some, showing off the strength of their awe-inspiring voices and beautiful harmonies.
“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.”
The three young singers’ rendition of the Josh Groban hit is fantastic - a statement that will likely get 100% agreement. It’s a version that you’ll want to listen to and watch repeatedly.
Additionally, their performance goes along with the song’s lyrics about being better and being able to do more because of someone else. This cover performance is made exponentially better by the presence and talents of all three singers.
Colossians 3:16: “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”
