The Piano Guys are known for their instrumentals but on Monday, they released a video with some impressive vocals.
Al van der Beek is the vocalist featured in the video. Van der Beek has been a producer, songwriter and sound engineer with the group since 2011, according to the Piano Guys' website.
The video features Piano Guys Jon Schmidt, Steven Sharp Nelson (cello) and van der Beek performing in a studio and on stage in front of large crowd.
The song was originally written by pop artist Andy Grammar and songwriter Dave Bassett and will be one of several on the album the group will release Oct. 28.
"We’ve all had that phone call, that email or that message, that conversation, (that) bad news," the video's description reads."We’re all struggling with something — a debilitating weakness or illness or someone we love is barely holding on."
The description talks about the many voices in the world trying to drag us down.
"Media can make the world look bleak. They’ve given themselves this job description, in part because there’s a darker side on the surface of human nature that feeds on fear and cynicism," the description continues. "But deep down, we are beings of light. And in the end, since darkness is merely the absence of light, light will inevitably overcome dark."
The description explains that this song's message is one of hope despite trials.
"Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow. But we believe that someday, somehow, all things will be made right. And as the Proverb says, 'They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.'"
