Emiliana Torrini “Big Jumps”

Here’s a song by Emiliana Torrini called Big Jumps from her album Me And Armini. She’s most famous for Gollum’s Song heard on the The Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers credits. It was originally intended for Bjork but she backed out due to her pregnancy. Emiliana was nominated for a Grammy in 2005 and has worked with other artists such as Thievery Corporation and Paul Oakenfold.

“Big Jumps” is about taking those chances – chiming guitar and delicate synth swooshes, combine with Emilana’s yearning voice to unforgettable effect.

When I heard this track I couldn’t help but stop what I was doing and really listen to the words. It’s definitely positively uplifting and motivational. Music like this helps us remember that life is all about taking the risks, falling hard, and bouncing back stronger than before.
