1) Selah is a Christian band that has been featured on The 700 Club, The Hour of Power, and TBN. The original 3-person line up consisted of Nicol Sponberg, Allan Hall, and Todd Smith. Their success came quick when they released their first album, Be Still My Soul, in 1999, and would win a Dove Award for that album soon afterwards. They quickly earned a reputation for being able to reveal the heart of any song they record [1] with their music, doing well-known covers of already-famous songs such as "You Raise Me Up" by Josh Groban and "Bless the Broken Road" by Rascal Flatts.
In 2004, Nicol Sponberg departed the group, and was replaced by Amy Perry.
Sponberg released her solo debut, Resurrection, that same year on Curb Records; the single "Crazy In Love" crossed over to the secular Adult Contemporary charts while songs like "Safe" continued to earn her airplay on Christian radio.
2) Selah is also a solo British independent artist. In the National "Voice of '99" talent show, Selah was one of the youngest entrants at age 11 and beat competitors to reach 2nd place. She has two LPs, 'Growing Pains, Vol.1', and there is also a Vol. 2. Her label is Base N Rebulz Entertainment/River Sity Alliance Inc.
3) There is a third Selah - also a Christian artist - whose original name is Lisa Watkins, and was born in Washington D.C. She has produced the CD single entitled 'Spritually Speaking'. She has a website at www.pauseandthink.com.
4) Selah was an Ohio-based Christian rock band that recorded a self-titled album for Singcord in 1975. That debut was equally split between covers and originals composed by Steve Millikan and Rod Robinson. A second album WITH CLOUDS followed a year later on Milk and Honey Records of nearly all original songs with the lion's share penned by Millikan.
Last.fm clearly need to create separate profiles for each of the above different artists. However under current policy this won't happen - see FAQ:
"It is currently not possible to disambiguate artists with the same name, which means that if an artist shares their name with at least one other artist, they will have to share one Last.fm artist profile.
Please note that any other valid artist with the same name has the equal right to appear on such a shared profile, including their music, their pictures, their artist description and any other information on them.
It is for instance not allowed to remove their description from the wiki, and it is also not possible to have an official primary image for one artist, while there are other pictures for the other artist(s) which all users can vote for and thus decide which one of the artists should get the "main" image."
Keep Me Up
Selah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When troubles come and my heart burdened be
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence
Until you come and sit awhile with me
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up, to more than I can be
There is no life no life without its hunger
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly
But when you come and I am filled with wonder
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas
And I am strong, when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up, to more than I can be
You raise me up, to more than I can be

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary
During my difficult times of despair or exhaustion
When troubles come and my heart burdened be

In June my 95 year old father had to relinquish my dear mom to a care home because of her dementia and broken pelvis. Her grief and his at the separation has broken all our hearts. Covid lockdowns have increased the pain. In his sadness dad's heart has been focused on a 91 year old memory of riding on an empty hay rack as a little tyke with his teen aged uncle. As the horse began pulling faster the little boy began bouncing and tumbling on the wooden bed of the wagon. In panic he cried out to his uncle, "Hold me, hold me! I'm almost falling!"
Meanwhile our family friend had a strong unction to send us this song. When dad listened to it he couldn't believe it. "Those are the words from my childhood memory that I'm constantly calling out to God, Hold me, hold me! I'm almost falling!"
Praise God, He hears and He holds!

My dear brother Mark is in the hospital, very weak with COVID and they are talking of the next step being the ventilator. I don’t want to lose my brother . I woke up this morning with this song going round and round in my heart . Not sure if it’s for him or for me. I’m praying it for him first! Thank you for sharing the wonderful story of the hay wagon Marilyn Schroeder
