"You raise me up" isn't the best track that one has heard of Westlife. The lyrics are great but the music and the style of the band lets the song down. They make it too loud and the undulation of the music hurts the ear. You won't listen to the song over and over again. Instead I like Brian Kennedy's version better. This song is better suited when sung solo than when sung in a group.
