I expect some good music during tonight’s Chuck season (hopefully not series) finale. I’ll post the music here. Keep checking back…
How awesome was tonight’s episode? I’m wondering about that “To Be Continued…” though.
It’s okay to have scars, they will make you who you are
It’s okay to have fear, as long as you’re not scared of going here
And in the middle of the night, just call if you wanna talk
‘Cause you know that I wanna talk tooIt’s not bad of you to think ’bout what might go wrong
But you can’t blame me for secretly hoping that I’ll prove you wrong
It’s okay that I pray that you will miss your flight
And have to stay with me another nightIt is brutal, it’s brutal, why can’t you see
It’s brutal, it’s brutal, where have you been
‘Cause we’re far apart and my lonely heart
Finds it hard to get through the night
You pull me out of the dark and now it’s light
You pull me out of the dark and now it’s lightWhen we’re out in the market and out on the streets
I’ve got a pocket full of problems and a pocket full of seeds
Hoping something good might grow out of this mistletoe
And I won’t have to erase your memoryI like the way that our arguments stop when we fall asleep
And the way that your body feels when it’s wrapped around me
And I’d like it if you made it to mine by Christmas Eve
So you can hold me
And we’ll watch Christmas TVIt is brutal, it’s brutal, why can’t you see
It’s brutal, it’s brutal, where have you been
‘Cause we’re far apart and my lonely heart
Finds it hard to get through the night
You pull me out of the dark and now it’s light
You pull me out of the dark and now it’s lightSo come on home, just come on home
Just come on home, just come on home… (repeat)

You want have to stay inside alive

Honda is rolling out their new Insight with commercials featuring some cool music from bands like Great Lake Swimmers. So far this is what I’ve found.
See You On the Moon (iTunes)
Lyrics from the commercial:
When I grow up maybe I’ll be a singer in a band
and I’ll drive all across the land
with my friends all in the van
and I’ll sing into a microphone
but when it’s over, I’ll come home
while the people go “clap, clap, clap”
and the drummer goes “tap, tap, tap”
and thank you singer.maybe I’ll be an astronaut and work for NASA.
maybe I’ll see you on the moon,
I’ll see you on the moon,
I’ll see you on the moon.
Not sure who the following commercial is using. Let me know in the comments.
Lyrics I hear are:
Let’s all paint the town red and white black and brown
Watch the colors dry, they mix so well it’s no surprise
We are all in this together
Let’s all build a home, gather up the friends you know
Somewhere we can go
And here’s one more using Honey Tree by Mostar Driving Club (Myspace)
Lyrics from the commercial:
Just another perfect day
I think I’ll walk this way where the trees do sing
Feeling part of everything
When all my troubles seem to fade away
Skies look brighter
I feel, feel a change
The commercial promoting the new Jaguar XF Sports Sedan is Oasis’ “The Shock of the Lightning” (iTunes).
“The Shock of the Lightning” (Amazon MP3)
“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.
The Sherwin-Williams commercial currently running is using The Pernice Brothers song “The Weakest Shade of Blue” (iTunes).
“The Weakest Shade of Blue” lyrics (iTunes)
won’t you come away with me
and begin something we can’t understand
i’m as lonely as the Irish Sea
i’m as willing as the sand
could it be so wrong, so wrong?
could it be so wrong, so wrong?
won’t you come unbury me
could you light me up like a lemon grove
i’ll save you from this dreamy life
to the hardest love you could ever know
could it be so wrong, so wrong?
could it be so wrong, so wrong?
but don’t cry baby,
please don’t cry baby
i’ll be tender til the day i die
this love i have for you is terrible and true
how this sheltered loveless life
fades into the weakest shade of blue
its ruinous and true
how this sheltered loveless life
fades into the weakest shade of blue
weakest shade of blue
could it be so wrong, so wrong?
could it be so wrong, so wrong?
but don’t cry baby,
please don’t cry baby
i’ll be tender til the day i die
this love i have for you is terrible and true
how this sheltered loveless life
fades into the weakest shade of blue
weakest shade of blue…
I did not see the Kutner suicide coming. He was the only likeable character.
The music they used at the end of the show was Lose You (iTunes)from Pete Yorn’s album Musicforthemorningafter (iTunes).
I’m taking a ride off to one side
It is a personal thing.
Where?
When I can’t stand
Up in this cage I’m not regretting.
I don’t need a better thing,
I’d settle for less,
It’s another thing for me,
I just have to wander through this world
Alone.
Stop before you fall
Into the hole that I have dug here,
Rest even as you
Are starting to feel the way I used to,
I don’t need a better thing
(Just to sound confused)
Don’t talk about everyone,
I am not amused by you.
I’m gonna lose you,
Yeah I’m gonna lose you
If I’m gonna lose you,
I’m gonna lose you,
Yeah I’m gonna lose you
If I’m gonna lose you
I’ll lose you now for good
AT&T is using the Landon Pigg song – “Falling in Love at a Coffee Shop” (iTunes)| (Amazon MP3)
for a new commercial that ran during the NCAA games last night.
This same song was used in Diamond commercials a few years back.
“Falling in Love at a Coffee Shop” lyrics (iTunes)|(Amazon MP3)
No one understands me quite like you do
Through all of the shadowy corners of me
I never knew just what it was
About this old coffee shop I love so much
All of the while I never knew
I never knew just what it was
About this old coffee shop I love so much
All of the while I never knew
I think that possibly, maybe I’m fallin’ for you
Yes, there’s a chance that I’ve fallen quite hard over you
I’ve seen the waters that make your eyes shine
Now I’m shinin’ too
Because, oh because, I’ve fallen quite hard over you
If I didn’t know you, I’d rather not know
If I couldn’t have you, I’d rather be alone
I never knew just what it was
About this old coffee shop I love so much
All of the while I never knew
I never knew just what it was
About this old coffee shop I love so much
All of the while I never knew
All of the while
All of the while
It was you
The current Liberty Mutual Commercial is using a song from Hem called “Half Acre” (iTunes).
I am holding half an acre
Torn from the map of Michigan
And folded in this scrap of paper
Is the land I grew in
Think of every town you’ve lived in
Every room you lay your head
And what is it that you remember
Do you carry every sadness with you
Every hour your heart was broken
Every night the fear and darkness
Lay down with you
A man is walking on the highway
A woman stares out at the sea
And light is only now just breaking
So we carry every sadness with us
Every hour our hearts were broken
Every night the fear and darkness
Lay down with us
But I am holding half an acre
Torn from the map of Michigan
I am carrying this scrap of paper
That can crack the darkest sky wide open
Every burden taken from me
Every night my heart unfolding
The current Hoover Platinum television commercial is using Etta James’ “At Last” (iTunes)
I wonder if Beyonce knows.
