“The Shock of Lightning” lyrics (iTunes)
I’m all over my heart’s desire,
I feel cold but I’m back in the fire,
Out of control but I’m tied up tight,
Come in, come out tonight.

I’m comin’ up in the early morning,
I feel love in the shock of the lightning,
I fall into the blinding light,
Come in, come out, come in, come out tonight.

Love is a time machine,
Up on the silver screen,
It’s all in my mind,
Love is a litany,
A magical mystery,
And all in good time, and all in good time,
And all in good time.

I got my feet on the street but I can’t stop flyin’,
My head’s in the clouds but at least I’m tryin’,
I’m out of control but I’m tied up tight,
Come in, come out tonight.

There’s a hole in the ground into which I’m fallin’,
So God speaks to the sound of the poundin’,
I’m all into the blinding light,
Come in, come out, come in, come out tonight..

Love is a time machine,
Up on the silver screen,
It’s all in my mind,
Love is a litany,
A magical mystery,
And all in good time, and all in good time,
And all in good time.

It’s all in my mind,
Love is a time machine,
Up on the silver screen,
And all in good time, and all in good time,
And all in good time.

“Your a Wolf” Lyrics (iTunes)
I’m walking on the southern street, cut to the river ‘fore I run too low.
I’m walking on the southern street, cut to the river ‘fore I run too low.

Old gypsy woman spoke to me, lips stained red from a bottle of wine.
Old gypsy woman spoke to me, lips stained red from a bottle of wine.
“The one that you are looking for, you’re not gonna find her here.”
“The one that you are looking for, you’re not gonna find her here, here.”

I’m runnin’ on the northeast street, cut to the ocean ‘fore I run too low.
I’m runnin’ on the northeast street, cut to the ocean ‘fore I run too low,
Cut to the ocean ‘fore I run too low.
“The one that you are looking for, you’re not gonna find her here.”
“The one that you are looking for, you’re not gonna find her here, here.”

Old gypsy woman spoke to me, said, “You’re a wolf, boy, get out of this town.”
Old gypsy woman spoke to me, said, “You’re a wolf, boy, get out of this town.”

The new GM commercial covering all of their brands (Buick, Cadillac, Chevy, GMC, Hummer, Pontiac, Saturn, and Saab) is using Brandi Carlile’s The Story as its music soundtrack. Great song.

Artist: Brandi Carlile

The Story lyrics – (iTunes)
All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I’ve been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don’t mean anything
When you’ve got no one to tell them to
It’s true…I was made for you
I climbed across the mountain tops
Swam all across the ocean blue
I crossed all the lines and I broke all the rules
But baby I broke them all for you
Because even when I was flat broke
You made me feel like a million bucks
You do
I was made for you
You see the smile that’s on my mouth
It’s hiding the words that don’t come out
And all of my friends who think that I’m blessed
They don’t know my head is a mess
No, they don’t know who I really am
And they don’t know what
I’ve been through like you do
And I was made for you…
All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I’ve been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don’t mean anything
When you’ve got no one to tell them to
It’s true…I was made for you

Funny, I just wrote about Santogold on my other blog, and here she is being featured in the new commercial for the 2009 Ford Flex. Not sure which song it is, but it may be a remix of her single “L.E.S. Artistes” (iTunes).

Acura has had some cool music in their commercials, and so far they’ve been using currently available artists. Can’t find this one though. No lyrics makes it hard.

Help.

Sorry – away on vacation, so not watching much TV.

I think this is the correct information for the new Saturn Aura Commercial currently running. The song being used is “The Good Life” (iTunes) by Tim Myers.

“The Good Life” lyrics (iTunes)
Life is beautiful it’s true
When I balance what I do
And enjoy the world in front of me
And it’s time to get away
This is a good time to get away to the good life
To get away on this perfect day,
I’m gonna take time to work inside of the city
Or play all day in the country, this is the good life
I can’t help the way I feel
And I know that this is real
The sun is smiling down upon my face
I am filled up to the brim
And I just can’t hold it in
So I laugh out loud and tell the world
It’s time to get away
