You Raise Me Up

You Raise Me Up is a remarkable song that has inspired millions around the world with its message of hope, strength and overcoming. Our goal was to develop a visual montage that would compliment the rich meaning of these lyrics. We looked at the theme, "Raise Me Up" and put a team of researchers on the task of selecting scenes that both caught the spirit of the song and flowed together to tell a story. Additionally, scenes from our Foundation archives were used to punctuate particular moments in this spot.

Our director and editor worked many weeks adding and deleting scenes to achieve the final result. We hope you enjoy this PSA and find a personal message of inspiration as you experience "You Raise Me Up."

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT

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, 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

Inspire…Pass it On.

Wonderful ads for true values. Keep up the good work. Put them on every TV channel, on billboards, radio, in schools, churches, restaurants, EVERYWHERE. We all have to be examples of the values that made America great, and are slowly being forgotten. Thank you for gently reminding each and everyone of us.

Probably the most motivational video I've ever seen. I'm an Army helicopter pilot who almost threw it all away in college with bad behavior and bad grades. It's never too late to turn it all around. It also can't hurt to have people around you who love you and support you.

When I first saw this ad on television, I sat and analyzed every piece of it. Your aim to match images with the message of the song was seen with every new image, whether it was the height of the mountains or the swing, it certainly lifted my spirit high. I just want to say thank you for taking the time out to inspire the world with these short but meaningful messages.

Great commercial. Paula P. I'm so sorry and I'm praying for your situation and hope it has improved by now. So many are struggling just like this. Without getting too political (however, it is they-politicians-who we've allowed to affect our lives so detrimentally in this manner) I hope in this next election cycle voters will vote smarter, choose to be more informed, and will bring consistently genuine conservative candidates with positive change to the country. We've now had enough of this to teach us a lesson for a very long time.

I had written earlier that the spot on sportsmanship failed because refs call fouls and players play the game. Sunday an NFL wide receiver admitted he committed an infraction that was not called. This is how sports are played. Some calls are missed. Sportsmanship is playing hard and with diligence even when the call goes against you. A player can't change a call, but he/she can play on with a good attitude.

"To inspire" is more than a colloquial phrase. It's an attitude, a mindset, a gift of life, a helping hand. Who can you inspire today?. It's not about winning or losing, but about doing your best. Reach out to someone in need this Thanksgiving and inspire the joy of life. You never know when you might need inspiration.

I'm a 25 year cop and while sitting in front of the TV, watching football having a beer, I found myself misty eyes after this commercial. What just happened to me? I think it was hope. Thank you.

CLEARLY INSPIRATIONAL. I got chill bumps and all when I first heard and viewed this on yesterday. Never heard this song before, but it is ministry to the heart and the pictures are soup for the soul. The world needs a sip of this!! Much love, much love!

Just beautiful - how wonderful that together we can be inspired and may we all be an inspiration for one another. May we all be "raised up" for a better life. Thank you for the magnificent use of Josh Groban's song for the TV spot.

You might like to know that there is also another inspirational song by Josh Groban called "Don't Give Up (You Are Loved)." "You Raise Me Up" and "My Confession" are also among my favourites. Who doesn't need raising up from time to time? Everyone needs to know that they are loved, and encouraged to keep on going when things are though - that's the 'don't give up' bit! Josh's voice is so suited to this type of music, it is not only inspiration, and it is calming, relaxing and beautiful to listen to.

I just saw the "Inspire" TV spot with Josh Groban singing "You Raise Me Up". I love this song, Josh, and your wonderful ad. I think Josh demonstrates many of the traits that you are trying to inspire in others. He is truly one of my heroes on and off the stage.

Saw this ad for the first time this week. Actually, I "heard" it first and came running - yes, literally RUNNING through the house to get to the television when I heard JOSH GROBAN singing one of my favorites. The combination of Josh's voice and the beautiful, inspiring images is perfect. Well done!

You Lift Me Up is by Josh Groban. It's a beautiful song that you could hardly turn the on the radio without hearing a few years ago. You should be able to purchase it anywhere or on itunes.

I also love the song "You Raise Me Up." Is it available for purchase somewhere? It is so uplifting. I don't usually watch commercials but everytime your spot comes on I stop,watch and listen also sing along.

Just as there are people, friends or loves ones who raise us up, let us also do our part of raising others up till we all reach the top. This video inspires me to appreciate the people I'm surrounded with. Thanks for making it FBL.
