If I Rise: a brilliant and inspirational theme song from 127 Hours

Danny Boyle's 127 Hours is an inspirational movie based on true events. But it is inspirational in a way that one can be inspired to admire his/her everyday surroundings, people he/she loves, things he/she does. And all these do not have to be after effects of a particular moment or a momentary lapse of reasons. We need to be who we are every moment in our lives; love the ones we do unconditionally.

127 Hours is not a movie about a loss. It's about gaining every bit of who we are when we confront the precipice of no return. It's a movie that tells us not to fear the precipice but to confront it. It's a movie about who we love; who we forget to love; how we forget to love; when we forget to love. And then somehow finding an absolution. This movie tells us this much.

The song "If I rise" is a fitting tribute to a brilliant movie and an unforgettable cast. Here's the beautiful song by Dido -- If I rise.
