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.
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.
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.
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
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. :)
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."
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!'
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.
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
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. =(
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 :)
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...
these commercials are just beautiful, sublime, and cool all in all. Sad that it is a paint commercial but i don't care. Reminds me of that Human chemistry commercial also.
this song is soooo beautiful! i know that it's by jonathan elias, but if it's ever available on a new release of his, i would appreciate it if someone would let me know.
forget valspar, this commercial just advertised the song. now just gotta find what this song is and who composed it.
