Rich or poor young or old people always like listening to the music even though the songs that they like are different. For me, I like English songs because they can help me to practice my spoken English and because they sound good. Sincerely, Id love to share with you my favorite English song “You Raise Me Up”. In fact, this is not a new song but an old one. However, this song is touching!You Raise Me UpWhen 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, 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.There is no life - no life without its hunger;Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;But when you come and I am filled with wonder,Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;And I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;You raise me up. to more than I can be.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.The song “You Raise Me Up” is a very popular song. I love this for many reasons. Firstly, let me introduce the background of the song. Actually, the originator of the song “You Raise Me Up” is Secret Garden, who are a famous music style of the band in the new century and composited by two talent musicians: Rolf Lovland and Fionnuala Sherry. The style of this song is the typical “Secret Garden”. According to the traditional Irish folk song “Danny Boy”, Secret Garden got the creative inspiration. This song originally titled “Silent Story”. And one of the member of Secret Garden, Lovland, composed the song music. This song music became the best place in the world. Whats more, the song lyrics made by Brendan Graham who is Irish novelist and song writer. “You Raise Me Up” was first issued in the album “Once in a Red Moon” in 2002 and sang by Brian Kennedy.I love this song because it gave me a very deep impression. How I met the song “You Raise Me Up”? I remembered that the first time I heard this song was on a TV program “American Got Talent”. A car sales personnel, when he sang this song, he moved all the audiences and judges. The man is a singer but his vocal cords were damaged because of an accident 11 years ago. He couldnt singing any more and let him leave for the stage. But he didnt give up, and continued training. 11 years later, he stood on the stage again and sang a soothing sounds. The moment he sang “You Raise Me Up” really made the person touched. So I remembered this song very deeply and it touched me so much.Whats more, I love this song because its melody is very beautiful and fantastic. The vigorous harmonic let your ears have a comfortable baptism. The bagpipes played between the song let person deep in music seas and cannot extricate himself. Sometimes, the song is warm and a little with sorrow. It make the person cant help but be suddenly enlightened. And the heart is full of love towards the world.Moreover, I love this song because its an inspiring and grateful music. In the song, the last of the chorus is a great momentum, strong and steadfast. It sounds like that there is a mystical force which can get through your soul and so strongly that it let you want to care for everyone. And it will make your eyes contain with hot tears and be grateful to the past as well as the unfortunate. The most important is that the song can encourage the person to cherish now all that you possess. For me, I love a line very much. It says: “I am strong, when I am on your shoulders.” Indeed, I feel strong, with nothing to be scared of when god is with me. This song lets me understand how big the power of a positive belief and how much I need a positive belief as well as an encouragement. This song lets me know that whenever we fail and wherever we are lost, please dont give up and never give up. Never! Never! Never! Because “You raise me up, so I can stand on the mountain.” Because “You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas.” Because “I am strong, when I am on your shoulders.”The last but not the least, I love this song because it is the eternal and classical song. A lot of song will be quickly forgotten by people. But the song “You Raise Me Up” wont. From the day it issued in 2002 to today, this song still vey popular around the word. Only the song touch our heart and convulse our soul, can this song live in our life forever. I love the song “You Raise Me Up”.When people feel lost, they should have and need a support like the song “You Raise Me Up”. I love thi
