String Trio Cello,Violin - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1456796 By Dan + Shay. By Chris Destefano, Dan Smyers, and Shay Mooney. Arranged by Homco/Crinion. Country,Wedding. 7 pages. Homco/Crinion #1035854. Published by Homco/Crinion (A0.1456796). From the Ground Up is a Country ballad written and recorded by the American Country Music duo Dan+Shay. This is a very popular selection at weddings. It is a song about finding true love and building a life together. The song was inspired by the Duo's grandparents. It was written shortly after Dan's grandfather died, and while Shay's grandfather was in the hospital. They describe the song as: the most special song we've ever written. This ballad is unusually written in 6/8 -time - which gives it a lilting feel - and this Trio Arrangement shows a little bit of partiality by beginning the melody with the cello.
