One of my favourite songs …. what a fantastic voice he have. It’s a Norwegian song (Rolf Løvland) … the words are written by an Irish man (Brendan Graham)
… and it’s all down to David Foster (the man behind Celine Dijon and Josh Groban) that the song became so popular around the world.
It was first performed by Northen Irish singer Brian Kennedy together with Tracey Campbell-Nation in 2002. Just love it.

I’m not sure. It’s from Youtube. You may be able to find out some more from there. If not, google under the singer’s name. Let me know if you want more info from me. good idea to use it in class!
