Secret Garden and Josh Groban
    

Josh Groban, they say is the newest artist who gave a new definition to pop music. With his crisp baritone voice, he has captured the hearts of a wide range of audiences - from teens and to the adult population. His latest album "Closer" topped the billboard charts and his latest single "You Raised Me Up" is a favorite of the Christian population with its rich musicality and a very inspiring message. I even cried, when I first heard it.
Do you know who were the original people behind that song? The song was composed by a Norway-based New Age group called the Secret Garden. "You Raised Me Up" was composed by the band's front man, Rolf Lovland, the composer, producer and played on keyboards

  

and Fionnuala Sherry, who played on Violin. Together with the whole music crew, they produce a very rich music blending different kinds of traditional and comtemporary orchestral instruments that will surely melt your heart and relax your stressed body and mind. The lyrics of their songs were mostly composed of a few words ranging from 7 or 24 but these words were the most touching ones enough to deliver an inspiring message. Secret Garden will be releasing a new album called the "Dreamcatcher", a compilation of the group's greatest hits including "Dawn of the New Century" and "Songs from a Secret Garden"

Just a follow up: My friend Bryan C. asked me to buy a Secret Garden CD at WoodBerry in Megamall. Lucky for him, the CD was a double CD and it included "You Raised Me Up".
