AT&T Rethink Possible - Blanket Commercial

[hijodeputa10]

who sings that?



[McPrfctday]

@hijodeputa10 Nick Drake (the legend)

[hijodeputa10]

@hijodeputa10

thanks!!!

[x80sLove]

that guy singing has such a soothing voice :)

[McPrfctday]

@x80sLove Nick Drake. I'm sure you must know because you are a music fan... but if not then check him out. He's music's greatest loss. Period.

[mhoffman01245]

what the name of this song

[susiejo1189]

@mhoffman01245 It's Nick Drake- From the Morning

[raterake]

@mhoffman01245 From the Morning by nick drake (one of the suggestions ---->).

[JunierMahri246]

At&t doesnt cover 97% of all americans. it covers about 32%, verizon covers about 35% Sprint 25% and t-mobile and metro pcs cover aout 20% each.

[xthebeast20x]

they should do a commercial where the spray paint the building and people where orange shirt

[siliconsurf]

at&t is so good with FALSE advertising

[Leonelfreak]

it does but that doesnt mean its the best ;D

[peleking352]

The version in spanish is better :)

[jakew55]

The one with the orange flowers is by Sam Means "Yeah Yeah"

[JakeShallPerish]

i have AT&T and i get signal everywhere. lol.

[oaklandathletics51]

Day once dawned

And it was beautiful

So look and see the sights

That you like

From the morning

[HollyRigby123]

ahh they've cut this song so horribly, why would they do that

[iDislikeNames]

could someone find me the one with the orange flowers????

[javierpopable]

@shygazer hah well I guess this commercial went up you mainstream ass and they'll jeep on doing it. Go inide kids. I think of this as a strike

[javierpopable]

I love the new commercials I'm tired of seeing mainstream music in commercial and shity commercials. Does anyone know who make the commercials.

[Kamilsimac]

the orange places is where at&t doesn't have coverage

[L0G4NHTC]

WHO IS THE GUY , THE VOICE FOR AT&T ; in all there commercials .

[zarniwoop42]

I think what 97% of Americans means is 97% are within their coverage. Not 97% use AT&T.

[jaepee57]

Bull shiz! i was at hover dam in may 2010 And I couldn't send a text msg to my Brother! At&t lies....

[sasuke1359]

97% of all americans my ass

had them, coverage sucked

[sasuke1359]

97% of all americans my ass

had them, coverage sucked

[TickleFromGulfBreeze]

i love nick drake

[Classicsniper00]

@GelTez yeh they sud make it clearer

[BlackberryThe2010]

at and t is best carrier. verizon and sprint unable to compete, tmobile ok when it comes to service and coverage and speed but devicesw dont measure up.

[siliconsurf]

@BlackberryThe2010 you must suck the big fat at&t dick...does it hurt your mouth?

[ooogooman]

@BlackberryThe2010 Interesting. How much are they paying you?

[BlackberryThe2010]

@ooogooman I do not work or AT&T, just a satidified customer.

[mellertson]

the orange represents where they don't have coverage. thumbs up if you agree

[unicorns3oh3]

I love christo and jeanne claude :) you guys know this is their art, right?

[Classicsniper00]

sooo 7,500,000 people out of 250,000,000 dont have it? yeah ok sure, this has false advertizing all over it

[shygazer]

the snobby arsty fartsy hipsters were totally up in arms over this commercial. They were flipping their finely knitten lids because their precious hipster God was going commercial. I'll bet their thick Elvis Costello style glasses were getting steamed up just thinking about it. Too bad AT&T didn't take things further and mock these spoiled, preppy, posers by playing their beloved Tom Waits, Jeff Buckley or Elliot Smith in their next commercial. They'd hang themselves with their silk scarves.

[juicee55]

anybody seen this commercial lately>> I miss it

[rachelewilliams]

thank u so much i cudnt think of the name of this song

[TheDESPERATEDUCK]

at&t covers 97% of all american. wondering were they took that poll? probably in their office building

[philipscott9]

hate this commercial. extremely overplayed.

[DruhPlzkthxbai]

D:< NAME OF THE DAMN SONG!

[acciovince]

@DruhPlzkthxbai from the morning - nick drake

[itspeaks037]

Thank you

[MrFlyUpHigh]

[miyalana]

Its like AT&T is making a giant orange snuggie for the world.

[TheOneartist]

If anyone likes this ad or got introduced to Nick Drake to it, though, that's great. But I hate how people are insulting the music because of this ad, and I don't like the way the song's been edited.

[TheOneartist]

This is barely a snippet of the actual song. People should go listen to the WHOLE song "From the Morning" by Nick Drake, better yet all his albums, including this album ("Pink Moon") instead of insulting a musical legend who LITERALLY had more talent in a finger than everyone who insults him combined.

Volkswagen did justice to his legacy when they used the "Pink Moon" song in an ad, but the way AT&T cut this up and is overplaying it-it just isn't the same at all. Seems to be making things worse

[juicee55]

Anybody seen this lately, I am missing it

[AAAAAAAAAA42]

After hearing this commercial over and over again, the song began to drive me insane.

[chickypickyyeah]

I dont give a fuck what anyone says. Nick Drake has an amazing voice and amazing guitar ability. So fuck these haters. Shitty commercial. Amazing song.

[DollarAmbition]

How bout you greedy motherfuckers pay my Phone bill ? 

[TeeTownSounds]

This is one of the greatest commercials i've ever seen. Bravo.

Even if you hate at&t, you gotta give credit to the marketing geniuses who put this together.

[juicee55]

Fantastic spot



[hotgirlsakura13]

this song is soo annyoing -_-

this is why our times is suffering

[briskrizk]

@hotgirlsakura13 Nick Drake is not from our time, and how dare you insult a legend.

[TheHippieartist]

@briskrizk I agree 100%. the story of his life is as poetic as the music he composed.

[cataloni10]

guys please help me, what is the song plays on the At&t new commercial, it's sound of electric guitar, with no lyrics, please help !!

[zarniwoop42]

So they "ripped off" Christo & Jean Claude. Waaaa!! Who cares?? I'm sure that "97%" of the people who have seen this commercial don't even know who they are. If you looked closely you will find almost every movie, song, story, ect. used material that had been done before. If you want everything to be completely original, to bad, you were born several centuries late.

[zarniwoop42]

Greysmoke12.... Are you talking about the black gentleman looking up? My counter says about 0:09 - 0:11. That's cool. I just saw a show about rating which movies make us happy. They had Ferris Bueller's on it. The said the construction workers were just in the area while they filmed the parade shot. They saw them dancing, liked it, shot and kept it. Kind of like your friend.

[Vodkaknockers08]

Cool commercial wish we had them like this in the uk

[freakylocz14]

I wish it was possible for me to stream one 5 minute YouTube video without going over the data cap.

[bluehoneycomb]

Christo and Jean Claude should sue them. The commercial is really cool, but I immediately thought of them, when there is that disclaimer at the end. Still, it is a rip-off of their art.

[xxvolleygirlxx]

at&t has cool commerials but they suck ...

[juicee55]

I just LOVE it!! Great job on this commercial, more please

[ImTheSaxMan]

And 97% of the time they'll drop calls

[ICYASIAN95]

there was the one with a black  guy on a roof the song was like hip hop what is the name of that song

[Jackson33d]

If ATnT covers 97% of all Americans (their words); then why do they need to advertise???

Me doth thinks they advertise too much!

[xXKibiXx]

@Jackson33d

The 97% is referring to their service area. They have a wide area of coverage, but they're counting ALL areas, not just the good ones. You know what I mean, the ones where you have one bar.

There's no way in hell they have 97% of Americans as customers. :D

[AEinsteinSr]

AT&T have the worst customer servive in the world.I wonder how a bad company can survive over charging their customers.

[futuristicera]

dis commercial da truth

[graysmoke12]

the guy at 0:06 was on the set just watching and they didnt like the guy who was supposed to do that part so they put him in :) i know him

[METOGOOL]

Mouch better hear the sing in spanish in this comercial

[juicee55]

I actually LOVE when this come on, soothing soothing and great visuals

[mrsbagopepsi]

My baby girl (10 mos) LOVES this song. Anytime it comes on she will stop whatever she's doing to watch this commercial.

[zarniwoop42]

Julesmonroe47. Go to Google or other. Type in Nick Drake lyrics.

[deathstarcafe]

I love Nick Drake so much. Good for him to get this exposure.

RIP Mr. Drake

[julesmonroe47]

What Are The Lyrics To This Song ????

[cool4790]

i hope they know that verizon wireless is the largest cellphone provider in the country so how can they cover 97% wen they only cover 90 million out of 303 million americans

[legolord2x4]

@SupaKidIsHere i suggest verixon

"the D-bag phone company"

XD

[TeeTownSounds]

@SupaKidIsHere

You must live somewhere shitty. I've had at&t service for over 8yrs. Couldn't be happier.

[KIFulgore]

Neat ad. May have taken inspiration from Christo and Jean-Claude, but you can't very well trademark draping fabric over something. I do that to my kitchen table all the time.

[DesertBeach]

I like that nick's song is in a commercial but I would have rather it had the full lyric instead of outing some of it... however, at least his music is being heard. <3

[ana1sninja]

@EnkaiNami The product was VW Cabriolet and the song was Pink Moon.

[EnkaiNami]

@ana1sninja Ah, I know that now; my only point was that advertisers are wrong in thinking that people will want/care for their product; they'll only like the Nick Drake song and effect it has on them, IMO.

[ana1sninja]

this ad is bullshit.

fuck you att for using Nick Drake's song. He was not motivated by the desire for mass corporate appeal. He only wanted to touch people personally with his music and he would vomit if he knew you were using his music for corporate gain.

PS - you are still culpable for colluding with the bush administration to illegally wiretap US citizens and I am still boycotting your ass.

[IntractableJ]

@ana1sninja Good points. The only thing I would add is that it would be unbecoming of Drake's character really to mind at all.

[RandomlyChandler]

@ana1sninja don't they have to notify him, and or, ask his permission to use his song for their commercial. So he would know...and or, gave them permission...maybe i'm wrong. But...maybe i'm not.

[TheOneartist]

@RandomlyChandler Nick Drake died in 1974 from an overdose of antidepressants. It's not clear whether it was a suicide or an accident.

[RandomlyChandler]

@RandomlyChandler oh, wow, interesting, so whoever is in charge of the collection of music had to give them permission, kind of like what's going on now with picasso's collection. or michael jacksons....

[aothing]

@ana1sninja i bet Nick Drake was happy to have the money. and wouldn't give it back.

[TheOneartist]

@aothing What are you talking about? He died in 1974.

[cheshirecatsaira]

@ana1sninja im pretty sure,... he wouldn't enjoy this but whats wrong with all of us having a piece of his music? absolutely nothing. i understand he might not have wanted this... but I'm also sure he wouldn't mind having people enjoy his music because thats probably why he began singing in the first place.

[Jiggs46]

I thought it was Alexi Murdoch

[ComradePants]

My god! It's the Third Impact!

[lipglozzz43]

I heard this song when I was on a float plane in Ketchikan, Alaska.

I thought of this commercial <3

[WeLiveToDanceAlone]

the only commercial i actually stop and listen to.

[everton619]

R.I.P to one of the few true Song-Writing Genius' ♥

[juicee55]

best ad of the year

[MultiMonaa]

Nick Drake - From the morning :)

[nanab94]

whats this song called??

[JodieBaileyHardy]

Ripping off the work of Christo and Jean Claude (who had just died) is the main selling tool here. AT&T would have to pay for the use of the song, but blatantly steals the work of these world renowned visual artists free and clear. AT&T is making money by ripping them off and getting away with it.

[thevampirefrog06]

I like their little disclaimer at the end. Oh, yeah, we aren't those guys....

[jimmystheman2]

everyone like dracyre's comment so it'll stay up top!

[fluffyedwin]

what's the song :)

[AnneNacho]

Nick Drake!!



[OnisionSupport]

such a lie XD

[BostonJeterFan]

But I love Nick's voice it is so soothing and this is such a pretty song!

[BostonJeterFan]

Did anyone else think that this song was by Alexi Murdoch? LOL! I felt so silly when I found out that it was infact Nick Drake! But, in my defense I guess the comparison has been made a lot with Alexi and Nick. This just shows my age in the opposite way...how young I am! ;)

[xiibalbaa]

@BostonJeterFan

EXACTLY what i thought when i first heard this ad! you're not the only one :)

[littlefishkid]

verizon is a load of shit

[kingz778]

whats this song called

[dracyre]

@kingz778 Nick Drake- From the Morning

[RoseQuartz100]

@dracyre Thank you SO MUCH! I've literally been looking for this song for over 4 months.

[nightmareassassin64]

@kingz778 nick-from the morning

[AJCmommy1269]

my 9 month old son loves this commercial...he stops everything he is doing when it comes on.

[groar92skatrdinasour]

whats the name of the song?

[The2010World]

@ShareATT Instead Of Making Commercials (Even If They Are Cool) Spend Money on More 3G Coverage and Having A More Reliable Network

[MCGeest]

Very Christo

[10deandre10]

That's a lot of fabric.

[MRCOFFEEEE1]

THANKS!!!!!

[MRCOFFEEEE1]

WHOS MUSIC IS BEHIND THIS RETHINK POSSIBLE VIDEO ?

[KevinIrwinFilms]

@MRCOFFEEEE1 Nick Drake - From the Morning

[bigartmaker]

rethink possibly completing a call from within your home in a major city.

verizon please get the iphone.

[roaddawg]

I wish AT&T would take some of the dough they spend on these cool commercials, and fix their service. They completely suck. UN-reliable.

[zarniwoop42]

Cracks me up. Did you know that AT&T have the ability to see into the future??? I read several comments that claim it has some meaning with the Gulf oil spill. The commercial was out BEFORE the spill. I just watched an old DVR recording that was recorded 4/8/2010 and the spill happened 4/20/2010. Have some idea of what you are talking about before you start some stupid theory.

[mikensullivan]

What does "Rethink Possible" mean??? That's not even a half-sentence. It's just two words they put together.

[Firewallz3]

@mikensullivan It's a slogan you doofus. It doesn't have to be a sentence?

[mikensullivan]

@Firewallz3 It was a rhetorical question "doofus." Evidently this type of advertising is targeted toward people like yourself.

[Firewallz3]

@mikensullivan I was thought you were stupid for not understanding a two worded slogan that had actual meaning behind it.

[ojnkpjg]

After seeing this commercial approximately 7000 times, I can't enjoy this song anymore. Thanks, AT&T!

[juicee55]

Great commercial, simply one of the best of the decade

[tulsa7035]

@juicee55

I totally agree!!!

[cheezebs]

Cool commercial especially that part of it takes place in my hometown. St. Louis

[Crimson102sweet]

They overcharge me and my brother bill for iphone app download the bill went up to a whooping 2oo$ for 2 people last month and funny part is my brothr was in vietnam for 2 month so he never use his cell phone

[stuartk20]

check out the re-edit watch?v=f7wjCtTd-o4

[TheZeratul86]

these motherfuckers are fucking thiefs

they overcharge you just for the hell of it

[StripesThatParallel]

Yes, I found it! :D

[Zerosen2]

What a crappy song. It amazes me there are people out there that like it.

[zxv678904]

@Zerosen2 i know it so stupid

[canju12]

I like the song but did not know who the artist was.

[reints74]

@canju12 Nick Drake - From The Morning is the tune......sweet tune.

[Iamcartmanxd]

What does the little note at the end "The artists Christo and Jeanne-Clause have no direct of indirect affiliation or involvement with AT&T" mean? I never saw anything in the commercial that they made. And they should have credited Nick Drake for the song.

[katietuscano]

@Iamcartmanxd its Jeanne-Claude. look them up. They're amazing artists. The orange sheets? Thats their work. So they pretty much made the main part of every clip in the commercial.

ps. idt they credit anyone with songs on any commercial. they just buy the rights.

[katietuscano]

[TheOnlyNLMD]

this commercial was on every 5 seconds during the 2010 world cup

[Andreprime1000]

yiou could admit they put alot of work in this commercial with the wallpaper and stuff

[GANJAESHA]

RIP Jeanne Claude

[arcaneblast391]

Mmm... wonder who gets to clean that up

[wladdaimpala88]

Nick Drake is rolling in his grave.

[Hibtwa91]

@wladdaimpala88 I wouldn't say that, That's what music is for, for it to spread. Many didn't know Nick Drake in his Time, and most of his music was forgotten until the later years.

[COD4Fanboy134]

This is the most annoying commercial on TV, I'm sick of seeing the orange blankets covering random famous monuments, I don't care if it's real or fake I also want that singer to shut up,

[FreeToBeMeChristy]

what is this song?

[mattharbut123]

@FreeToBeMeChristy Nick Drake - For The Morning

[harmony3409]

is there, and where can i find, the full version of this song?

[randyl0962]

I used to have Verizon never had problems with drop calls. I moved to Dallas and was switched to AT&T due to a job and have daily dropped calls. AT&T please stop lying, your own customers know the truth. 97% thats a joke just go to Kansas, Nebraska, South and North Dakota. Did you forget to count these people?

[xXshordett90Xx]

Seriously, iThought The Voice Was From Eddie Vedder ^-^

[hippietree90]

Anyone know where to find the spanish version of the commercial?
