Once In Every Lifetime MP3

‘Once in Every Lifetime’ is a song by Welsh singer/songwriter Jem (real name: Jemma Griffiths). The song was written for the soundtrack to the 2006 adventure/fantasy film ‘Eragon’.

It is a very low-key, mesmerizing song, somewhat in the same vein as New Age artist Enya, whose songs were prominently featured in the ‘Lord of the Rings’ films. Lyrically, the song deals with issues such as self-empowerment, and being able to rise above the occasion and to have an effect on the world “if you do believe man can move a mountain”. It is a pretty standard adventure-movie type song, so for it to have been included with ‘Eragon’ makes perfect sense.

Jem’s songs have been featured in a wide variety of television programs and movies. Her most successful song as of yet has been ‘They’, off of her debut album, 2004’s Finally Woken. ‘Once in Every Lifetime’ is a good song to listen to if you are enjoy Enya or low-key, relaxing pop ballads with uplifting lyrics. The song is available for purchase on iTunes, as well as being included on the ‘Eragon’ soundtrack. The song is not, though, available on either of Jem’s solo albums to date.

The ‘Eragon’ soundtrack, on which ‘Once in Every Lifetime’ is included, is primarily a collection of instrumental music from the film. The only non-instrumental music on the album are the Avril Lavigne song ‘Keep Holding On’ and ‘Once in Every Lifetime’ by Jem. The song is not Jem’s most successful or popular song to date, but it is still a solid, low-tempo ballad that probably appeals to a lot of different people.
