[00:24.77]We tried to banish the piece [00:30.31]but it would not go away. [00:32.65] Maybe it wanted a different life-form…and so, [00:35.38] we decided to pursue the idea of adding lyrics [00:41.88]and asked Irish writer Brendan Graham to listen to it. [00:44.41] His books "The Whitest Flower" and "The Element of Fire" [00:47.31] - two best-selling novels about the life of Ellen Rua O' Malley during the Irish famine, [00:50.81] had inspired us strongly. He immediately began to "hear a story" [02:10.24]in the melody and by that same evening had shaped the first draft of You raise me up. [02:16.31]The unaccompanied violin opening is Fionnuala's first and untouched guide [02:19.55]recording for the original demo, [02:24.92]while Uilleann pipes' grand master, [02:28.00]Liam O Flynn carries the tune through its middle course. The soulful singing of Brian Kennedy and Tracey Campbell-Nation, [02:30.78]together with the London Community Gospel Choir and Irish choral group, Anúna, [02:35.07] gives full expression to the deep spiritual longing within the lyric. [00:59.36]When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary; [01:07.91]When troubles come and my heart burdened be; [01:14.76]Then, I am still and wait here in the silence, [01:23.78]Until you come and sit awhile with me. [01:32.90]You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains; [01:41.41]You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas; [01:48.66]I am strong, when I am on your shoulders; [02:00.47]You raise me up... to more than I can be. [02:43.84]You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains; [02:51.26]You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas; [02:59.60]I am strong, when I am on your shoulders; [03:09.34]You raise me up... to more than I can be. [03:21.27]There is no life - no life without its hunger; [03:29.09]Each restless heart beats so imperfectly; [03:36.73]But when you come and I am filled with wonder, [03:45.82]Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity. [03:52.61]You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains; [04:01.20]You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas; [04:08.79]And I am strong, when I am on your shoulders; [04:16.31]You raise me up... to more than I can be. [04:27.48]You raise me up... to more than I can be. 2001 Universal Music Norway / Acorn Music, Ireland
