Covering songs, especially wildly popular ones, is always a difficult task. It does not matter what the song is; people will always judge the cover against the original version. Also, it helps if the cover is different in some way, even slightly from the original. It helps differentiate it from the original and gives the cover a reason to even exist.
The Crosby Family covered Lauren Daigle’s smash hit “You Say” and made it their own, changing things slightly. Everyone in the family played a part in the video to the song, which was posted on YouTube.
The video begins with a little girl playing the piano and singing the opening lyrics of Lauren’s massive crossover hit. Then about halfway through the chorus, an even younger child appears on the screen. She walks over to the piano bench, sits down and strums along on her instrument while singing.
“And You say I am held when I am falling short
When I don’t belong, oh You say I am Yours
And I believe
Oh, I believe”
Dad, while banging on the drums, joins in on the second verse. Dad and daughter then sing the second go-round on the chorus together. However, instead of tickling the ivories, the child shows her musical ability isn’t limited to just the piano. She’s now strumming the guitar.
Mom has now taken over the piano duties. Like her daughter and husband, she can also sing. She belts out the lyrics in the song’s third verse.
What a stunning rendition of a beloved song from an obviously talented family!
Deuteronomy 31:6: “Be strong and take heart, and have no fear of them: for it is the Lord your God who is going with you; he will not take away his help from you.”
