Meridian Energy wind commercial

[drumhero0]

omg blatantly copying forrest gump. the camera shots and everything. watch the opening 30 secs of it seriously.

[kewebber]

yeah I love this music too and would LOVE to play it. I emailed them and asked them about it. They said they got someone to write it especially for their ad and that printed sheet music doesn't exist for it. Am gutted :-(

[Freeeeeeddyy]

icryed to this :L

[1011shrine]

沒有半句說教的旁白,大家都看得懂!

[punkrocksux]

Who is the composer of this masterpiece i simply NEED TO KNOW?

[babyjen29]

@punkrocksux it sounds very similar (if not the same) to an instrumental piece from the Forrest Gump soundtrack called The Feather Theme. I absolutely love the piece in this ad but never knew what it was called - but yeah that's the closest I got.

[SupaSaiyajinNaruto]

aww crap its only 4 teh ad... i need sheet music!!

[rpkziruvar]

iam an indian living in nz and this song made me proud of new zealand

[OneFootThumper]

That's great mate! New Zealand is a Multi Cultural country. We embrace culture. I Did my own remix of this tune. Will post it up in the next week

[roxyboxy17]

love this video. makes me smile, i see those windmills when i look out my window..

[rosered07]

How close are you to them? Wouldn't the dead birds kind of destroy the scenery lol? But yeah I love this video too :) my mum always says it makes her want to cry for no reason though lol

[roxyboxy17]

not too close, theyre a nice view. my house is on the flats and you can see them from a distance. this ad is pretty :)

[BTBugger]

This is the Ad I love the most out of the water and wind commercials. They're like the Toyota Ads of the 90's. Makes me proud to be a kiwi

[NeoFalcon69]

Aww home sweet home..

I love New Zealand aka Godszone.

[HappinessAndMe]

Aww, you guys cried! That's cute =)

I live in NZ and i like the ad but they play it all the time and after a while it gets a little boring not to mention L-O-N-G.

Haha...

[newzealandgal74]

[mamako564]

[hamnoo]

God no, this is the best ad ever. brought tears to my eyes every time it was shown. I gotta get my a into g and go back to NZ.

[pi3573]

[gwynn255]

that is a beautiful tune. i love it. i want to play it. now. if any one knows part of the notes could you please show/tell me cos i really love it and even though i am not very good at playing it by ear i could always give it go!

[goodies0goodies]

meridian energy... excellent ad, and an excellent piece of music, does anyone know what its called? or where i could get a guitar tab for it?

[shortfeild]

It says in the description that it's only for the commercial, but I noticed it sounds awfully similar to Michael Jackson's Man in the Mirror:

watch?v=1zpTQCQEFhg

[kentwsharp]

Wonderful

[kartik69]

i can play parts of this by ear on my piano. Im learning grade 1 thoery and pratical. When get enough Im going to post a music video for everyone!!!

[metalicnova]

[amherstfour]

gorgeous that's all I'm going to say

[xoxlovinghearts]

I love this commercial. There is this other wind energy commercial, I THINK it's by this company but not sure, it's this little boy capturing the wind on a cliff or something in a jar, and running back home to his grandpa's birthday, opening the jar, and the wind in the jar blows out the candles. I want to see it again. If you know about it and have it, please post it up. Thanks!

[AdeleFitz]

Hi, the commercial you describe isn't for Meridian Energy.

[xoxlovinghearts]

Oh, well thanks. By the way, do you know which company that commercial can possibly belong to?

[newzealandsammy23]

@AdeleFitz  do you know what commerical it was??

[Freeeeeeddyy]

@xoxlovinghearts search up GE general electric commercial - wind energy

[sammyhill69]

good old Te Apiti wind farm at the end!

[slimchrissy]

Wow, so good to see this again. I saw it in the cinema when I was in NZ last year and I loved it. Such an amazing ad. Thank you for making it available.

[marketis12]
