This rendition of ‘Amazing Grace’ might be the best ever

There’s a reason why music has been a staple of cultures all around the world for as long as humans have been… well, human.

Music connects us all on a profound level; it inspires us, emboldens us, hits us with nostalgia and caresses us with emotion. It can do all that and much more, which is why it plays such a pivotal role in our lives even today.

Indeed, it’s testament to the true greatness of certain songs that they’re able to stay relevant and beloved across the years and decades in an environment that’s about as competitive as one can get.

The power of music

In an industry that’s always striving to latch on to what’s new, in a world where thousands of new songs are released every day, there are those songs that simply refuse to be forgotten.

If you ask me, Amazing Grace is one such number. Through various iterations it has more than stood the test of time, and at this point it’s a favorite of millions in one form or another.

On a personal note, I think it’s a beautiful piece of music that rightly deserves its place among the pantheon of all-time classics. And that was before I saw the version played by 200 bagpipes!

If you know the video I’m referring to, then I’m sure you won’t mind having another listen. If you’ve never seen it, then get ready for a treat.

It begins with a single singer standing in a crowd of bagpipe players, with his voice slowly beginning to blend with the music. As the singer journeys to his crescendo, a sole bagpipe assumes control of the melody, slowly delivering a hauntingly beautiful conclusion to the first verse.

Over 200 bagpipes join in for a rousing second verse, producing an unforgettable performance that’s sure to grab your attention… and not soon let go.

As I said at the beginning, music has a way not just of connecting us all, but taking us on a rollercoaster of emotions based on the intentions of the artist. This might not be the first time I’ve been given goosebumps by Amazing Grace, but it’s certainly a piece that made me reflect on all the things I have to be appreciative about.
