  • forget valspar, this commercial just advertised the song. now just gotta find what this song is and who composed it.

  • i can't find the version of this commercial with frogs and lilipads...

  • Valspar management refused to pay money owed to employees

    in Indianapolis. This is a freeloader company.

  • @clerven Who the fuck cares about Indianapolis?

  • @Jay18Jay You are a very stupid person.

  • Thumbs up if Valspar would make more money if they put this song on iTunes

  • I get high and watch this for an hour repeatedly.

  • Who is the director?

  • lolol the only paint in stores not behind bars haha

  • amazing

  • whats the name of this song?

  • The song is owned by Valspar, and they apparently refuse to release it. (instead of just putting it on iTunes and making easy money)

  • i know its just a paint commercial... but DAMN! the music, the idea, its amaaazing.

  • The person/people who directed this truly understood what paint was all about! Especaily earth art.

    One of the best commercails I HAVE EVER SEEN!!

  • It's not about the paint! It's about the MUSIC!

    Know this!

  • Yes, the music is great too but the meaning of the commercai is about the paint.

  • Dammit woman! You let my ball fall down that hole!!! xD

  • you just made me smile. xD

  • Ummm....what?

  • Great commercial, the music is so lovely.

  • These ads are wonderful in every way. I'm going to buy Valspar paint from now on. I wish more companies would insist on this quality from their advertising firms.

  • buying or downloading. point is have fun with what he has made! music is music and if it was me i wouldn't mind giving it for free!

  • I bought American River last year. Amazing album with such diverse beauty in each song. Buy his music, you're just insulting his hard work.

  • GOD I love this commercial it's soo beautiful

  • It almost sounds like Pirates of the Caribbean music.

  • Where can I download this music? Limewire doesn't have any Jonathan Elias...

  • This was made only for the Valspar commercial and was never released to the public.

  • dude buying so gay

    we already paid a crap loaad of money for the mp3 player

  • So you want to steal his music? Grow up, hard work was put into his music and he should be rewarded.

  • No one here wants to steal this music. We just want it to be accesible to us so we can listen to it whenever we want. I'm willing to pay for this music anytime, as soon as Valspar decides to realease the music, if they ever do. It looks like you are the one that needs to grow up and avoid making foollish assumptions.

  • You say I should avoid making foolish assumptions when you're doing the same, considering the original poster wanted to download his album. So you're saying downloading his album isn't stealing? I rest my case.

  • You should just say pirate since downloading doesn't always mean theft.

  • ...my god you're naive.

  • It is available for purchase. :\

    Stop stealing now!

  • Really? What is it called?

  • Buy the man's work. Go to itunes and purchase american river.

  • what is the name of the song. :(

    Please and Thank You

  • this particular songs name was never released- it is owned by dusche bag valspar.

    even though its his best song and this commercial isnt shown anymore, valspar's advertisers wont release the song to the public

  • If all commercials were this good I wouldn't use commercials as my bathroom break anymore .

  • haha that's so true.

  • i cant belive i actaly liked this enough to look it up because they stoped puting it on tv

  • i luv the music so beautiful when i hear it i think of being in a field somewhere in english countryside

  • 0:19 seconds in is such a captivating image.

  • IF there's classical music that i like its this

  • All orchestral music isn't classical music.

  • Saving entirely because of the music (which I cannot find no matter how hard I try; why do you have to be so elusive, Jonathan Elias?!).

  • Actually that music tune sounds a little like an old game I use to play YOU tube this

    (Original Tomb Raider theme - The City of Kahmoon) and listen to the music.... the tune is earily similar !!!

  • The Scene at 0:03 is out of this world. One day , I will go there!

  • i've seen the new commercial a few times on the history channel. Its no where near as good as this tho.

  • they made a new new, commertial.. i'v only seen it twice

  • deem son when i win that lotto ticket first thing is to hire Johnathan Elias just for my ears....

  • This song isn't Great Divide or Crossing Rivers. Its a song Johnathan Elias wrote exclusively for Valspar. I'm sure they would make a fortune if they would just release the song to the public though.

  • did anyone find out the name of this song yet?

  • i believe its "Great Divide" by Jonathan Elias

  • thanks duuuude

  • no problem :)

  • I'm going to find these places or places better, once I'm with my other goals in life such as being a Navy SEAL, running a Iron Man/ UltraMarathon*.

  • this is like the best commercial ever

  • Such heavenly scenery... I can't help but to keep replaying this over and over.

  • i could cry that elias sold something that pure and beautiful to valspar.

    i was so desperate that i emailed valspar in hopes people were bluffing about him selling it.

  • Way to look at what i said with such a narrow mind, I'm pretty sure you assume all rap is about uneducated, drug dealing, pants sagging, gold teeth and bling buying, killing one another non sense.

    What I really meant was to get someone to speak with motivational lyrics that have nothing to do with those negative hip hop stereotypes over this music with some added drumming.

    Go ahead and give me a negative rating, wait until someone sees your opinion as stupid and then you'll see the light

  • makes me want to tear up about happy memories for some reason. Especially the first scene with the foggy mountains, thats badass.

  • zzgrl234

    i agree with you

    cuz coldplay is like my all time fav band

  • we dont know if this by coldplay

  • If this paint was crap i'd still buy it!

  • I havent seen much of this commercial lately

    :( I love it.. sad to see it off the air

  • I love this song.

  • this is so coldplay-ish.

  • what does that even mean? :(

  • to be exact, it means that something is mysterious and creative.. and its colourful even if its black and white...

    why did people give me a thumbs down?

  • I think they gave thumbs down because they assumed that by "Coldplay-ish" you meant "gay-ish" because Coldplay has become synonymous with gay, because of the line from 40-Year-Old Virgin.

    I happen to like Coldplay as well, and yes, the music in the commercial is atmospheric like Coldplay can be, so I see what you mean there. :)

  • ive never heard that coldplay is a synonym of gay. but ok.

    and if i meant that this vid was gay-ish, i would have put "damn this vid is fucking gay-ish." :) something like that.

  • this brings tears to my eyes

  • Just saw this commercial. MAN I LOVE THAT MUSIC

  • I've been meaning to look this comemrcial up! I LOVE this song! To bad it was made just for this commercial! =(

  • still, the last part in Jonothan Elias's 'The Great Divide' sounds remarkably similar to the music in the commercials. That and 'Crossing Rivers'.

  • Since so many people are interested in this music, I sent a question on the Valspar website to see if it was for purchase. Unfortunately it's not. Here's the answer:

    "Thank you for your interest in Valspar. The current 2008 commercial includes music from the same artist as last year, Jonathan Elias. The current music is not available to purchase as it was written exclusively for Valspar's new ad campaign."

  • Well damn. That's not cool. I love this song and now I hear that it's exclusive to the commercial?

    P.S. It's NOT The Great Divide, folks, that was last year!

  • I'm glad I found this on youtube because I was dying to know the song! Every time the commercial came on I was like 'what is this song?? It's so pretty!'

  • WHAT IS THIS SONG? I NEED TO KNOW

  • Crossing Rivers

  • The Great Divide by Jonathan Elias

  • Way to go Valspar Marketing team!

  • Beautiful music.

  • I'm obsessed with these commercials and the music in them!

  • Dang it why does the song end so early?

  • I only searched this up to find out the awesome song. It's crossing rivers.

  • It's not crossing rivers. Same artist, different song. He was hired to make music specifically for the commercial, I'm hoping it will be released to the public in the future.

  • OK EVERYONE WHO WANTS TO KNOW THE SONG

    Song Name: Crossing Rivers (closest you can get to the commercial's song)

    Artist: Johnathan Elias

    Album: American River

  • When I first saw this commercial I didn't think it was for paint, but I still think it's really beautiful. Especially the music.

  • I don't care if this paint is colored water! I'm buying Valspar!

  • Is Jonathan Elias putting commercial music on a cd? If so, that's awesome!

  • i emailed this jonathan elias guy about the song and he responded within a couple minutes and said that it is not on any cds yet.

  • Really, whales you mind adding me as a friend?

  • I love it!! the music, the beauty of nature..wow its hard to believe there are some places as beautiful as those in this world...wonder where they are located

  • I don't think any song has ever been so perfect.

  • I loooove this commercial.

  • This commercial always soothes me and reminds me of my childhood. And Guild Wars for some reason.

  • i love the commercial and the backround music. i love the waterfall part it kinda scares me a little to think about it! ha!

  • this song makes me so happy.

    Jonathon Elias, if only you knew.

    god I want to download it.

  • Man... This paint could SUCK for all I care, I'd still use it, just because of this music, it's too bad there's no longer version though.. *Sigh*

  • I LOVE the one for the ocean. It creeps me out though(lol).

  • omg i LOVE this commercial. When i paint my room im buying this just because i love the song. AMAZING SONG!!!!!

  • i asked valspar what the name of this song is and they report it was written by jonathan elias specifically for valspar and is not for sale.

  • They should give the song away with every gallon of paint sold!!! I buy a gallon for my trash can for the freaking song.

  • ROFL

  • Yeah guys... i'm a huge jonathan elias fan... but this song was for sure made only for the commercial. it sucks i know.

  • So no one will be able to download this song or hear the full version, ever?????

    What ever happened to Public domain!!!!!

  • Ok, I downloaded both "The Great Divide" and "Crossing Rivers" from iTunes, and neither of those songs feature the track used in the commercials. It's similiar music and nothing more. I'm mad that I can't find this exact song for download anywhere. =(

  • Unfortunately we probably can't download it at all since this song was most likely for this commercial only.

  • What type of music is this, ever since I heard this song i fell in love with the commmercial, so can someone tell me what kind of music this is?

  • New Age, you can find similar works from Jonathan Elias on his American River album.

  • i meant crossing river

  • it's neither american river or greate divide... although they sound similar.. my guess is they compose the soundtrack solely for the commercial ... correct me if i'm wrong, i'd love to know the name of this actual soundtrack :)

  • Ohh...nevermind. The song is The Great Divide, it comes in around at 3:15 in the song.

  • I really wanna know the name of the song..lol ITs going to bug me until I figure it out.

  • hmmmm....it does sound a lot like "crossing river" but i dont think it is the same T_T

    if anyone figures out the real song please post it!!!

  • Hey whiteout130... your wrong... they changed the song they used in the ad.  the song you have listed is the older version from their previous adds. the one in this video is different and i want to know what it is too...

  • Most likely custom song for the commercial. Let's hope Elias can include this in an upcoming album.

  • I am .. mm thankyou for correcting me. If you find out what the song title is please tell me

  • fyi
