Heather Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 These three guys sound amazing! I really want to take it and make a music video out of it: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truegrits Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 Very nice. I would like to read the song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skalenfehl Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 (edited) I've been so touched by this song that I made it a part of my profile. My wife has a ukulele and my new mission in life is to be able to play this song. Here's a good article about the author of the song and his experience including the lyrics (for you, Truegrits), though they seem different from the above video. Maybe those guys added a few. I like the version in the first post better. The tempo and harmonizing is better but the one in the following link is nice, too.

(I prefer the written word over audio.)I agree with you, that the original version with the three singers was better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skalenfehl Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 The more I dig, the more I think that the three guys are singing their own harmonized version with the added verse about Joseph Smith. I believe the two Elders in the news article are singing the original version, or at least closest to it. A word or two might be off.

inthearmsofsleep Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 I have the original on a CD... and yeah, the ones in the youtube video are singing their own version. I love this song, btw. I never knew who it was by because it's on a CD I copied from a friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kahuna808 Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Although, the three guys did a good job singing this song, I still like the original version. The third verse that was added by these three guys (hopefully they asked for permission) was good but did not fit along with the whole song and the reason why was it written. The song was about the heroes of the Book of Mormon after the author read the whole book from cover to cover before his mission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
