  • so a great song!!!! my tears are falling!

  • Hvil i fred Jan Werner.

    Norge er litt mindre, litt fattigere - uten deg og din stemme.

  • Herlig! RIP Jan Werner. Den vokale verden har rast etter din bortgang :(

  • Norway's best voice of all time !!

    R.I.P Jan Werner !!!!!

  • Frysninger i HELE kroppen! Jeg digger denne mannen og jeg er opprinnelig en stor metal fan, men dette er helt fantastisk! Frysninger hele sangen!

    Hvil i fred, Jan!

  • "Air" was the song that introduced me to Mr. Werner's music brilliance; too bad he's gone. Quite a magnificent singer!

  • Jeg vet at du er med oss....

  • DEn beste ...absolutt nr 1

  • Proud to be Norwegian!

  • Jan was amazing and really missed. Love his version of Nella Fantasia which is the best.

    I hope you also LIKE MY VERSION. I am a 16 year old tenor from the U.K

    Many thanks. George :)

  • Im proud to be Norwegian..

    he is the reason..

    Rest in peace darling.

    you are dead.. but you're voice will never die.

    i will never forget you're face or voice..

    You are now.. an angel.

    i want to say god bless you. if i was religious.

    (sorry about my bad grammar and english)

  • @pinkandbluecow How strange that it brings pride to be of the same nationality as persons of quality. As if it has anything to do with being norwegian. I feel it too.

  • @pinkandbluecow ,beautiful words

  • Amazing ! What a great talent.

    I hope you LIKE MY VERSION. I am a 16 year old tenor from UK.

  • where is he from? 

  • @crazymelomanka He was Norwegian

  • @crazymelomanka he is norwegian. he is now dead. very sad. He was realy great, a fine singer.

  • du er dypt savnet Jan,

    hvergang jeg hører denne sangen ser jeg for meg da jeg satt med familien og hørte denne over lydanlegget i Uranienborg Kirke.

  • jan werner ,youve made so many ppl happy.as short as your life was,u will never ever b forgotten.

  • i prefer Jan's part. it's full of emotions.

    miss him so badly

  • You raise me up so I can stand on mountans )

  • after my opinion this was one of the best artists in the world

    when he died the world lost a wonderfull singer and a preformer !!!

    but he carry on in our hearts

    the world needed an artist like him R.I.P

    you are still my favoritt singer!!!

  • Etter mange tårer falt.. R.I.P

  • Du gir meg styrke å håp<3

  • Hvil i fred, kjære Werner! Du var en fantastisk artist og vil alltid leve videre i mitt hjerte!

  • rip dude

  • R.I.P Werner :'(

  • My friends know I am all about the voice... There have been some magnificent voices through the years, and Jan Werner WAS one of them... If you are not familiar with his talent, you will be haunted. He died when he was only 30 years old.

  • Why do people with this kind of talent die early while so many horrible keep on living until they're old? The world makes no sense...

  • Nydelige Werner.....

  • Min kjaere kjaere homofil kristelige bror Jan, jeg hore pa denne sangen hver eneste dag og takker hvor helige Jesus Kristus at du hva pa denne jorden. Jeg har arbeidet med AIDS patient for mange ar og denne sangen er alle tiders. Hvil i Gud!! Paul Peder her i San Francisco, California

  • impresionante the voice of Jan Werner with the violins of the winners form ESC 1995 , greaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!!!!

  • Nydfelige Werner...

  • i sang this song for chorus

  • No other voice than yours! Still now and forever.

  • Usually I only like this sung by Josh Groban! But this is beautiful!So sad this young man is gone!

  • He`s just an amazing singer. Must he rest in peace. It`s a big loss for the world that he`s gone.

    Hvil i fred Jan Werner Danielsen

  • Legendarisk

  • It is such a big loss for us music lovers not to be able to hear Jan sing live anymore!

    One of the best voices ever!!

  • It is such a big loss for us music lovers not to be able to hear Jan sing live anymore!

    One of the best voices ever!!

  • Absolutely fab voice. could spend all day watching his videos.

    In my opinion the one reason he never got U.S. & U.K. airplay is down to the simon Cowell monopoly. Just look up Celtic Woman another terrific act that has never been shown on english tv.

    We in the UK just keep getting fed one mouthful afetr another of the Cowell treatment.

  • Wonderful rendition of You RAISE ME UP! Bravo Jan.I just stumbled  across you on YOU TUBE.I love how you sing Nella Fantasia.Just wonderful.I am sorry the world lost you so soon.!

  • Truly Amazing.!

  • Haven't listened to this in years. Not sure why as he has one of the strongest/beautiful voices I have ever heard/enjoyed.

  • amazing voice...

  • world class singer - no one will ever reach his level again...

  • its really hard,that in this world the best always go to soon!! he is one of the greatest singer !! best warm hugs from germany

  • I can't listen to it enough. Jan was a beautiful person, and the world is a darker place without him. His voice lit the darkness and gave us hope. We're fortunate enough to be able to reflect on his gift to us. Thank you so much Jan, you'll always be loved and missed!

  • RIP Jan

  • Tracey Campbell-Nation.

  • chills.

  • In my opinion, the best male vocalist of all time.

  • TRY

    Here inside me - Deep inside me

    Hidden lies a little boy

    One that doesn't want to wither

    One that still in life finds joy

    In the distance - The furthest distance

    He can hear your luring shout

    And in the midst of all this darkness

    He is trying to come out

  • This boy in my inner sanctum Is too weak - I am too strong Thus he can't prevent my actions Even if I may be wrong Could it be that you have found This little boy inside of me? Give him strength to win the fight So he can live and set me free Thank you for putting in some of the best attempts ever Jan Werner. I wish I could trade places with you so you could keep strengthening the little boys and girls of the world with your intoxicating voice.
  • Jeg har hørt originalversjonen med Secret Garden og med den irske gruppa, Celtic Woman på TV. Jan Werner, du sang denne sangen så nydelig! En utrolig stemme! Jeg visste ikke at han var en så stor og talentfull sanger siden jeg har bodd i utlandet i flere år. Så han i Melodi Grand Prix for flere år siden da jeg bodde i Norge. Jan Werner, du var den beste sanger Norge noengang har hatt! Fant også nylig ut at han døde for tre år siden. Så utrolig trist! R. I. P., Jan Werner.

  • i love it.

    Nice voice...

    Ich finde es einfach nur klasse

  • I believe he was a substitute for the lead singer in secret garden who was ill. Tbe son is written for and performed originally by secret garden. I think it did get that huge fame when it was used in relation with some 9/11 memorial.

  • I didn't know that Jan Werner did this song before, was he the original? Why is his music not better known in the US he's got such an amazing voice

  • Bad planning from his management, maybe? I wish I had the answer. It's insane that he's well known in Norway and not much elsewhere. He has a world-class voice, and should be heard by more. Spread the word :)

  • might have some ting with him being norwegian.

    i heard it on the Radio, and they said if he was american or english he wold have been known trugh the entire world,

  • It's always like that. If you are from a 'smaller' nation, it is harder to break through...

    Anyway, it's a great song !!!

  • @RememberJan I've been telling everyone that I talk to about music. His voice is beautiful and really brings peace to my soul. If he can do this for me, I'm sure he can do it for others as well, :)

  • @RememberJan you know he is dead? :(

  • @marandrumm Considering the channel is called "REMEMBER Jan", then I'd say that's quite obvious.

  • The original was already written with the real lead singer of secret garden. It was written by rolf løvland in secret garden

  • Yep. This recording was also made by Secret Garden. The theme of the album was inviting guests to do SG's songs. Jan Werner was never planning to launch in America.

  • @LaZafra1

    He was the first one who recorded it with vocals, but it was never released

  • @LaZafra1 He was abit to shy to get out in the world i think, cause there is no doubt that he had the talent to be world famous. He even got the offer to be the new lead singer in "Queen" this only comfirmes that his voice was great. I'm a big fan myself, really sad that his life was so short. No doubt in my mind that he would've touched many more hearts in the years to come. R.I.P Jan Werner

  • @LaZafra1 im quite sure that Jan Werner is the holder of the orginal of you raise me up! + he is the one that sings it best!! spesialy the high "notes"!!

  • @godhunting I'm pretty sure it was Secret Garden - as I recall him joking at a concert in 2002 that he was a bit miffed he hadn't been the first person asked to do the vocal for it. Then Secret Garden came on the stage with him and did it. But the original had the vocals by Brian Kennedy.

  • han var den beste sangeren son fantes. han hadde en så flott stemme og den vil alltid være i våre hjerter. hvil i fred jan werner danielsen :(

  • I just looooooooooooove it!!

  • Hvil i fred Jan Werner! Han var en fantastisk flott mann.... folk får si hva de vil men han var en "Konge"! Bare synd han ble revet bort fra denne verden :(

  • Husk han med kjærlighet,

    huska han med sorg,

    husk han med sang.

  • Comment removed

  • Det er så trist at Jan werner ikke er her for å synge lenger. En helt vanvittig bra stemme. Synd at vi gjor mer narr av han enn vi verdsatte han. For en stemme!

  • Noen er for bra for denne jorda. Derfor dør de ung....Han synger nok sammen med Jeff Buckley og Freddie på den andre sida :)

  • Jupp, mens Elvis sitter i baren og nyter prestasjonene...

  • No offence, men Jeff Buckley kan ikke måle seg med Jan Werner og Freddie Mercury...

  • De er jo komplett forskjellige sangere. JW og FM er mer i samme "rekke" mens JB ikke er vokalt i samme liga, men har sin styrke.

  • You kow he is the best we in norway have a special singer am i rigth? Rest In Pease Jan Werner Danielsen.

  • Ingen land slår Norge når det kommer til unike vokalister. Ser hele tiden for meg Jan Werner og Freddie på scenen sammen.. de to beste gjennom tidene helt garantert..

  • +tHe nOrwAy is sUch a bLess cOuntry fOr hAving jAn although in a short tiMe but the impOrtAnt iS he shAred wHat he hAve tO his cOuntry and feLLowmen+

    +RIP JAN+

  • whY dO u WriTe liKe tHiS?

  • Stemmen hans er bare.. utrolig. Man får jo helt frysninger (på en god måte) hver gang man hører på ham synge.

    Hvil i fred.

  • Hvorfor? T_T Hvorfor måtte han dø? Han var fantastisk. En utrolig artist, og selvlært også såvidt jeg veit... Fantastisk sang med en fantastisk artist. <3 RIP Jan Werner T_T

  • Is this actually Jan Werner singing? And who exactly si the alto who sings the second verse?

    Thanks to anyone who is able to answer my questions!

  • Yes, it's Jan Werner singing. The female is Tracey Campbell-Nation.

  • this is the most beautiful version of this song I've have ever heard. What an awe-inspiring singer.

  • This is exquisite. Thanks for introducing me to Jan Werner. A sad loss to the world. From Australia.

  • such timbre. such a beautiful voice. like carlsburgh I keep coming back to this version. The best yet in my opinion. So much feeling in his voice. a sad loss.

  • i keep coming back to this song,it just sums up jan werner for me....he was and his music will always be simply pure class

  • I could not agree moro. His life and his music was there to make people smile, to create joy, and for us to stand in disbelief that a person could have such a voice.

    The media in Norway tried, but failed, at tearing him down just for being unique. We who love music love Jan, and for those who did not I feel sorry for their loss....the loss over not having truly heard his music.

  • R.I.P jan werner. i love his voice, its BEAUTIFUL!<3 nydelig

  • If you like this you will be touched by the version posted by booboono - "You raise me up (From Jan Werner's funeral)"

  • We all have our ups & downs in our life and we have to be greatfull for the time that we have been given becouse life can end too soon.

    He was an AMAZING SINGER

    A man with a great heart is not lost!!!

  • mye bedre enn Westlife

  • hahahahahahahahahahaha!! selvsagt :p

  • Er det en sang jeg får gåsehud av, så er det denne.

  • SÅÅÅÅ NYYYYYDLIG......

  • Jeg elsker sangen...

    Jeg elsker stemmen...

    Men det er så dumt at han er borte nå ;( Du skulle vært her Jan Werner.

    Og hørt deg selv med den nydelige stemmen din:)

  • RIP Jan ;[

  • ....snacka om *ståpäls*...den här killen var underbar...påminner mej om vår Anders pappas begravning och Anders ledsna ansikte*kramar dej för alltid*

  • es el mejor cantante que he oido

  • AMAZING !!!

  • Blir oppriktig lei meg når jeg er inne på youtube og hører sangene dine Jan Werner...for du er såå fantastisk at du skulle ha opplevd dette selv :(

  • ja enig... så utrolig trist.

  • In the depths of our continues battles with lifes ups & downs.

    Once & a while we are given an emotional humbling to thank god we are alive.

    We are hear but once.

    Si tratta di una occasione, quando dobbiamo mettere i nostri problemi in prospettiva.

  • Well said.

  • :-) Nydelig !!

  • For all the badness in the world there are reminders of what great beauty mankind can aspire to and achieve. The voice of Jan Werner is one of those. It is sad he left us so early.

  • jeg er så enig med deg ... christoffera ... en av mine tyngste stunder da det gikk opp for meg at han faktisk var borte ... som brutal heavyrocker tar det meg at jeg aldri fikk si direkte til han at han var fantastisk ...

  • Jeg blir så sur og trist når jeg tenker på hvor mange flere sanger vi kunne hørt. Hadde han bare vært her ;(

  • Jeg savner deg og dine sanger.

  • Grazie per la risposta.

    Ho ascoltato youre suggerimento.

    per essere onesto.

    Non ho, t sentire lo spirito, come faccio quando mi ascoltare questa canzone.

    L'ascolto di questo e nella fantasia.

    mi fa sentire il suo fiato sul retro del collo.

    Ancora una volta vi ringrazio e vi auguriamo bene.

  • incantevole.

    Era un credito a voi.

  • Sì lui stato. Avete ascoltato la canzone "Luna"?

  • two years past and the only difference is how the long for you grow bigger and never sease.

    i envy those who will befriend you in your absence...they might not hurt this much. miss you every day my friend

  • R.I.P ,,

    He had an amazing voice. One of the best singers Norway have had :)

  • One of the best ever.

  • And one of the best singers in the World that got to know him

  • i have only just encountered jans voice and he is a true inspiration love this guys voice

  • Wow... Han er så flink :D får frysninger av å høre på han synge :)

  • første vers og første refreng er så fantastisk at Josh kan gå å ta seg en bolle, etter det så tar det liksom ikke så mye av som skulle håpet,men er fortsatt den beste verionen ever.

    Jan er en av mine største inspirasjonskilder,og mye av måten jeg tolker låter på er 'stjelt' fra Jan.

    Hvis dere vil,så kan dere trykke dere inn på brukeren min å høre på mine opptak og legge inn komentarer om dere ønsker det:)

  • I remember tears dropping from listening to his song and I didnt even know who he was back then.. Later I found out who Jan was but he was already gone... Sad.. talented people die so young

  • jan werner med fin stemme og en fin sang <33 (: R.I.P JWD

  • Jan Werners stemme vil for alltid leve videre i våre minner, kommer aldrig til å glemme ham.

  • R.I.P <3 Fantastisk, Jan Werner!

  • R.I.P

  • Does anyone know who the female singer is?

  • R.i.p Jan Werner Danielsen, du var best!

  • Norges største sanger !!! Det er en skam for Norge at du aldri hører Jan Werner på radio :(

  • Jeg hoerte'n faktisk i forrige uke paa en kveldssending (sondag kveld) og da spilte de "For your broken heart". Jeg ble helt sjokkert. Ikke en ting som skjer altfor ofte, nei.

  • ja jeg undrer meg over hvordofr vi aldri hører noe av JW på radio eller noe slik:s

  • de tjener ikke penger på det, alt handler om penger nå for tida veit du.

  • du har vokalister i verdensklasse, så har du Jan Werner Danielsen og Freddie Mercury som ligger 10 hakk over verdensklasse igjen, fy fader og vakkert han synger...

  • Huff æ får tåra i øyan av å høre på sangstæmmen din å av å tænke på at du ikke e iblandt oss mere:(( R.I.P For en stæmme han hadde..han behærska jo 4 oktava, det e det VÆLDI få som gjør..ett gedigent tap for musikken verden!!!

  • hehe vi har jo tim storms. med et stemmespen på omtrent 6 oktaver da som sitter med verdensrekorden men det er ikke spennvidden som teller men hva som kommer ut av kjeften:-)

  • This is the best version of the song..Secret Garden and Rolf Løvland made this amazing song. All credits to them ;) Josh Groban is NO comparison to Jan Werner...Jan Werner had so much more feeling in his voice..

  • This is the first time i hear JW.. he ws a good singer.. must say.. but to say that josh groban isnt as good or better.. i have never heard a man with so much feeling in his voice as josh groban.. but beautiful song... :)

  • They're two entirely different vocalists - each to their own :)

  • Alle tror at Josh Groban har originalen til denne sangen....han får altfor mye skryt etter min mening. Secret Garden og Rolf Løvland srkev denne nydelige sangen. Uansett hvem som synger den får jeg alltid mest gåsehud av Jan Werner's versjon :)

  • I liked the original version, but this one is even better. Too bad he's no longer among us ;-(

  • dette for meg hans en av de vakreste sangene ive hørt i mitt liv og sin hovedsakelig fordi Jan Werner synger den så vakkert, hva en versjon.

  • I have never enjoyed this song before, but this is just beautiful.

  • I don't normally like this song but this version is lovely.

  • This version of You raise me up is touching my soul so deeply, since this is the one used at his funeral. He sang a duet with Elisabeth, and that was the most touching moment ever. Not a single eye was dry neither in church nor among all the thousands of people watching it on tv or the internet.

    I am so sad I ran too late getting to know you, Werner... but your family is amazing, and you're in my heart!

  • Hvorfor ligger det ikke noe ut på limewire eller lignende?

  • den gjør det

  • I simply love you, Jan Werner. And I will never forget you. Rest in peace, dear you....You were amazing!

  • In loving memory of Jan Werner. Thank you for sharing your love and beautiful woice with us and the rest of the world. You were one of the greatest singer ever. May you rest in peace and may your memory never be forgotten. With love ....

  • In loving memory of one of the gretest singer ever. Thank Jan Werner for sharing your loving woice with the rest of the world. Thank for the pleasure. May you rest in peace and may your memory never die.

  • jan werner. du er dypt savnet, og høyt elsket. det gjør så vondt at du er borte :( vi savner deg! kom tilbake til oss!!! :(

  • I can't believe he hasn't got more views than he has on youtube...he should have been heard all over the world. This song was played in his funeral, sung by Elisabeth Andreassen (in duet) together with Jan Werner himself :(

  • VERY close to 300,000 views on all the videos put together in 16 months isn't that bad ;) But if we ALL do our part to spread the word, it will help. I've just done part one, it's up to you to tell people about it :)

  • Werner....for alltid dypt savnet!

    For alltid elsket!

  • Just heard him for the first time got a tip from a friend about him. He's amazing, RIP.

  • Just FANTASTIC!!!

    I never heard of Jan, untill i came living in Norway.

    It is a shame he dint get notised in the whole world!

    I am sitting here with tears in my eyes, just beautifull!!!!

  • Jan Werner

    Du vil alltid være i mitt hjerte, du var en fantastisk sanger, og sangene dine går som fantastiske toner rundt om et sørgende Norge... Rest in Peace, vi elsker deg...

  • En nydelig låt - sunget av en fantastisk sanger!

    R.I.P

  • Sukk...tårene renner, og jeg savner han så enormt. Du var den alller største, Jan Werner.

  • Han var helt syk.

    Utrolig stemme

  • R.I.P Beste norske sangeren noensinne!

  • han må være den beste og synge i fra norge...

    han er jo bare helt første klasse.

  • Yeah! The best Norwegian singer ever :) R.I.P

  • Oh my god, I can't stop crying. That is so beautiful. RIP Werner, you're fantastic. <3

  • Rest in peace Jan Werner. You are the best Norwegian singer ever. Thank yyou for all pleasure you gave us all.

  • Miss you way too much!!

    When I found your songs here (Jan Werner) I realize that you have the voice of an angel...you're voice is so beautiful!

    I will never forget that voice......

  • superb, its such a shame that a tallent like this was taken from us so young, id never heard of him untill i found him on here & boy do i feel like i missed out. would have loved to see him lve

  • I don´t know how i missed the amazing performing from this guy,he has a really good voice with softly voice i ever heard
