A group of talented musicians covers one of the most popular songs to come out of Christian music within the last couple of years.
Performing another musician’s songs, especially when the band or track is widely known, is always a tall task. Listeners will inevitably judge the cover against the original version. It’s a natural reaction because that’s the version listeners are familiar with since it came first.
However, one group of musicians may not run into the same issue that other performers may encounter when covering songs. The Piano Guys, as their channel’s name indicates, perform piano instrumental covers of popular tracks.
In a video posted to YouTube, The Piano Guys covered “Love Me Like I Am” originally by For King & Country. It’s a beautiful and dazzling cover, which makes for an easy and repeatable listen. Even without the lyrics, one can still appreciate the artistry and talent to pull off such a cover.
Others commented on the YouTube video and mentioned their love and overwhelming support of The Piano Guys’ instrumental performance of For King & Country’s hit.
“I’m 13 years old and I’ve listened and loved Piano guys and For King and Country since forever!! This is beautiful thank you!” one person posted.
“Yes. A peaceful, calm, down to earth, godly, fun and no drama kind of love,” a second YouTube user wrote.
“Beautiful rendition. Thank you for sharing joy,” another person added.
The group is composed of four guys who enjoy making instrumental music. The About section on their YouTube channel states their mission is to “inspire and spread hope through incomparably imaginative piano music videos filmed all over the world.”
Colossians 3:16 “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your heart to the Lord.”
