The acapella rendition of “You Raise Me Up” will give you goosebumps

It’s no secret that music resonates with many of us, almost as if it possesses its own unique language.

For centuries, as long as humans have been able to listen, music has held a significant place in our cultures, stirring deep emotions and inspiring countless individuals. While musical styles evolve over time, some songs remain timeless, continuing to evoke strong feelings and find appreciation long after their initial release.

One of the remarkable aspects of music, and songs in particular, is the unique interpretation each artist brings. A perfect example of this is “You Raise Me Up”, a classic first introduced in 2001 and later covered by notable artists like Josh Groban in 2003 and Westlife in 2005

Chances are you’ve heard this song, if not, it’s definitely worth a listen. The fact that over 100 artists have covered it speaks volumes about its enduring appeal. Among all the versions of this cherished ballad, one that stands out for its haunting beauty is performed by Brigham Young University’s Vocal Point.

Founded in 1991 by BYU students Dave Boyce and Bob Ahlander, BYU Vocal Point is a nine-member acapella group that quickly gained immense popularity on campus and finished fifth in NBC’s third season of The Sing-Off.

In 2018, they announced a record deal with Universal Music Group’s classical label, Decca Gold. Jason Bromley, one of the group’s members, remarked: “We’re ordinary college students doing extraordinary things”.

A man bought an old storage unit that was worth $7,500,000 for just $500, but he had to give back a lot of the money because of an unfortunate reason.

Money makes the world go round, as the old saying goes.

We could all use a little extra money, but imagine becoming a millionaire overnight! Maybe you find a family treasure hiding in your closet that could make you a lot of money.

For one man, buying a storage unit changed his life completely.

According to Dan Dotson, a star from the show Storage Wars and an auctioneer, a client bought a storage unit that was thought to be abandoned for just $500. If a storage unit hasn’t been paid for three months in a row, it can be auctioned off—something fans of the show already know.

On the show, people buy random storage units hoping to find something valuable inside.

One man opened his newly bought unit and found another safe inside, which had an incredible $7,500,000 in cash!

Dan Dotson shared this amazing story in a 2018 YouTube video. He explained that the man didn’t get to keep all the money because of an unfortunate situation.

In the three-minute video, Dan mentioned that a woman approached him at an event and said a family friend had bought a storage unit he auctioned off. Everyone was shocked to hear about the piles of cash inside.

The new owners of the unit then received a surprise call from the original owner’s lawyer, who offered them $600,000 to return the unit, cash included. They even raised the offer to $1.2 million!

The new owners chose to return the unit and the money, which left them with a profit of $1,199,500. Not a bad deal!

Dan believed that returning the cash was the right choice because they didn’t know where the money had come from in the first place.

This unusual story led to a lot of discussion in the YouTube comments, where people shared their opinions on what they would have done.

One person asked, “If there was that much money in the safe, why did they stop paying for the unit?”

Another commenter said, “I’d take their offer and be on my way, thanking the good Lord for the blessing,” while someone else agreed, “Take the offer. It’s the right thing to do.”

A fourth person suggested, “Keep the money and run. I wouldn’t have told anyone in the first place.”

Another commenter added, “I couldn’t sleep at night knowing my money was just sitting in a locker. And is that money taxable? If it is, I’d be gone—new name, new life with $7 million!”
