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."

The wonderful voice of Josh first got my attention when I noticed the Foundation for a Better Life message. Then I watched the inspiring messages from the pictures. My curiosity caused me to look up on the internet to find out more about the Foundation. It is wonderful. Thanks to all who have a part in it. I am telling all of my friends.

I wait everyday to watch your TV spot, I have only seen it on the Fox News channel because that is the only news channel I watch. The song itself is so powerful and when you compliment it by the addition of a video the effect is astronomical. It lifts my spirit and opens my eyes to see how blessed I truly am. I pray the Lord will greatly bless your organization for this inspirational message.

I often just skip through commercials but this one gives me pause. The song is fantastic as are the visuals. I find myself reversing my DVR and replaying it. It’s not often an ad can stop me from whatever I may be doing at the time, and pay attention to it and nothing else. Thanks, well done.

"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.

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.

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!
