"Colour" →[More:]From the continuing, and very worthy, process of 'turning a lover into a friend' to processing the loss of a cherished family member, it's been a tough week.

A friend of mine passed this on to me and it just makes my toes curl that he thought of me when he saw it: he knows my aesthetic and eye for beauty and knew just how very much I needed some injected into my world.

If it's been posted already, apologies, but it made me smile too much not to share.

I love this commercial. I always stop what I'm doing to watch it when it comes on TV.

What is the music?

See, this is why I should watch TV. Maybe. It's Jose Gonzalez - Heartbeats.

Btw, if you like that, there's similar stuff on the mix. I'm just really not going to get around to the printed playlist...I'm so sorry, but a bit scattered as off yesterday.

I like Jose Gonzalez. I've had "Crosses" stuck in my head for a couple of months.

Seen the remix? The same concept, but with fruit. mmmm, fruit.

I am actually listening to Jose Gonzalez as I type.

I looove this commercial. It was posted at Mefi a while back (those are real superballs, not special effects). I had to do some research to find out who the musician was but haven't followed up on finding a cd.

Thanks for posting it Frisbee Girl. I hadn't seen it in quite a while.

Oh, oh, oh! It's an extended version! I've never seen the whole thing. Very cool!

Zack_Replica - I, uh, wow. I laughed, but I feel guilty for doing so.

sveskemus - Hey, me too!

IRFH - UWS put 'Crosses' on a mix for me last year and I've been in love with that man since then and especially that song.

deborah - If you haven't seen it, check the making of it out. No CG, 23 cameras, and the main shot was done in one take. All the cars were props and the crew wore head gear. Ouside of the absolute f*ck yeah of the concept and execution, it's really fun to see so many streets I pass on a daily basis in entirely different light.

This, apparently, is the newest commercial, due to air shortly. I want to work on this production crew so much it hurts.
