You Raise Me Up by Emma Sophia (age 4)

You Raise Me Up as you’ve never heard it before, performed by 4 year old Irish rising star, Emma Sophia! There is a real sense of optimism in Ireland at the moment, so You Raise Me Up seemed like the perfect song to symbolise this sense of hope - a lifting of spirits in anticipation of the future.
Children see magic because they look for it. Similarly, hope can always be found, even if it seems lost. This song is dedicated to everyone who believes in hope, and to those who are searching for it. Emma Sophia’s angelic voice, coupled with stunning Irish scenery creates an entrancing sensory experience, taking us out of ourselves and raising us up to new emotional stratospheres where hope springs eternal.
The Celtic inspired music video was filmed in areas of incredible beauty in West Cork. It begins at the Drombeg Stone Circle, which dates back 3,000 years to the Bronze Age. Used for rituals and ceremonies, Emma Sophia, dressed like a Bandraoi (female druid), can be seen singing at the Druid’s Altar, and also in the centre of the stone circle. The location shifts to a stunning cliff-top setting with castle ruins near Mizen Head, Ireland’s most Southerly point. Emma Sophia rises up both physically and vocally, and the song ends with her singing at the highest point looking down over the peninsula as the drone shoots out to display it’s magnificent, jaw-dropping beauty.

Perfect place in the world to hear this wonderful child sing this song of God’s love for us❤

[@WestCorkWarrior]

Beautiful singing in iconic West Cork locations. Three Castle Head is my favourite location in West Cork and Ireland and just a short walk away from our holiday home. Emma Sophia should be paid by Irish Tourism for promoting our stunning country 🇮🇪☘️

[@jamesmckinney7888]

You brought a tear to my eye sweetie! Thank Heaven for little girls, especially ones like you.

[@RobJDoran]

Our little Irish angel. Emma, you are such a sweet, talented, old soul. Keep singing and making God proud! You make me so happy of my Irish roots. God Bless!

[@EmmaSophiaShow]

What an amazing comment. Thank you! Will certainly continue singing and producing more music videos with such encouraging feedback as this. God Bless.

[@dodomein]

@@EmmaSophiaShow Please look at the feelings of Emma. She only has one childhood. Singing yes, as long as Emma has fun and joy to sing, but give her also enough time to be a child and the right to say no. So much very talented children-stars ended tragic. Emma should be a Happy Angel. Many cuddles for Emma.

Things will never be as they were, but we will adapt, the earth will heal, and most important, our souls. A beautiful and inspirational video bringing hope and peace to part of a turbulent world, a small part, but a part non the less. 😇 💓

Call me killjoy, but this melody is - not a plagiate but - based on Danny boy. Beautiful, of course, and Emma is adorable, no question. (And not the first from the composer.)
