The song was originally written as an instrumental piece and titled Silent Story. Parts of the melody resemble the traditional Irish tune Londonderry Air, which is best known as the usual tune to the 1910 song Danny Boy. Løvland approached Irish novelist and songwriter Brendan Graham to write the lyrics to his melody after reading Grahams novels.

You Raise Me Up is a song that was originally composed by the duo Secret Garden. The music was written by Secret Gardens Rolf Løvland and the lyrics by Brendan Graham. After the song was performed early in 2002 by the Secret Garden and their invited lead singer, Brian Kennedy, the song only became a minor UK hit. The song has been recorded by more than a hundred other artists including Josh Groban, who popularized the song in 2003; his rendition became a hit in the United States. The Irish band Westlife then popularized the song in the United Kingdom two years later. You Raise Me Up is sung as a contemporary hymn in church services. (source : wikipedia)
