Music from commercials and television shows
7 Nov
Some good music in tonight’s NBC shows - Bionic Woman and Life.
Bionic Woman
Great song at the end of a not so great episode. I don’t know how I can continue to watch this crap. Anyway, kudos for using an Earlimart song at the end. If you like Elliott Smith, you’ll like Earlimart. The song is called The Little Things (iTunes).
Lyrics
Everyone I know
Is running off somewhere,
But still, the deep blue sea
Is right in front of me.
Well I guess I’ll wish them luck,
When all they need is hell
To keep them on their toes,
Keep them safe and well.
It sounds wrong, it sounds weird
But everything we are is everything we fear.
Don’t forget the little things.
Don’t forget the little things.
Everyone I know
Is running out of love;
Oh and it’s so sad,
It’s the only thing we have.
It’s the only thing we have.
Love’s the only thing we have?
Life
Life is the best new show, and definitely uses great music. Tonight they used LCD Soundsystem - Daft Punk is Playing at My House (iTunes)

Lyrics
Daft punk is playing at my house, my house
I’ll show you the ropes, kid, show you the ropes
Got a bus and a trailer at my house, my house
I’ll show you the ropes kid, show you the ropes
I bought fifteen cases for my house, my house
All the furniture is in the garage
Well daft punk is playing at my house, my house
You got to set them up kid, set them up

OK - Life is the best new show on television. Great music too.
Last week’s episode used the Morphine song Buena. Great song, great show.
I hear a voice from the back of the room
I hear a voice cry out you want something good
Well come on a little closer let me see your face
Yea come on a little closer by the front of the stage
I said come on a little closer I got something to say
Yea come on a little closer wanna see your face
You see I met a devil named Buena Buena

ER is re-running stories. Guess that will happen when you’ve been on the air for 100 years.
And the episode ends with Wilco - How to End the Loneliness (iTunes) - (at least they have good taste in music).

Just finished watching the Journeyman pilot - and because of its time shifting theme, they use a lot of music to match the period. Well done, especially the end. I hate adding a serialized drama, but with the Heroes lead in, it might hang around a bit. Some songs from the show.
The closing song is Look After You by the Fray.

Look After You (Lyrics)
If I don’t say this now I will surely break
As I’m leaving the one I want to take
Forgive the urgency but hurry up and wait
My heart has started to separateOh, oh,
Be my baby
Ohhhhh
Oh, oh
Be my baby
I’ll look after youThere now, steady love, so few come and don’t go
Will you won’t you, be the one I’ll always know
When I’m losing my control, the city spins around
You’re the only one who knows, you slow it downOh, oh
Be my baby
Ohhhhhh
Oh, oh
Be my Baby
I’ll look after you
And I’ll look after youLook After You Lyrics on http://www.lyricsmania.com
If ever there was a doubt
My love she leans into me
This most assuredly counts
She says most assuredlyOh, oh
Be my baby
I’ll look after you
After You
Oh, oh
Be my baby
OhhhhhIt’s always have and never hold
You’ve begun to feel like home
What’s mine is yours to leave or take
What’s mine is yours to make your ownOh, oh
Be my baby
Ohhhhh
Oh, oh
Be my baby
I’ll look after youYou are so beautiful to me (repeat)
