Valspar Paint Commercial - Statue

[H3artsKiss]

does anyone know the name of the song

[Eddie5012]

@H3artsKiss Crossing Rivers - Jonathan Elias

[Drumkid945]

@Eddie5012 It's not crossing rivers. That's a totally different song. Jonathan Elias wrote this peice specifically for Valspar paint. It doesn't have a name...

[giadze]

brilliant

[cyclos12]

A life time you say? Perfect for paint rollers on the sides of warehouses and bridges!!

[MelodicCure]

Would be great to have my music in a quality commercial like that. Some commercials are worth sticking around for.

[InnerRise]

Still brings a tear to my eye. At this point it's very nostalgic. Doesn't come on tv anymore. A whole year later. I miss it. Very somber, depressing and overwhelming music. Makes you believe reality can be like this dream state of ambiguity.

[DisNigRo]

Ayee. My boy and I always wild out to this beat. Its relaxing and yet it has this bounce to it. Nice.

VALSPAR NIGGA

[HatakeSage]

@laledo650 Why are you such a dick on every Valspar video? Get a life, child.

[laledo650]

@HatakeSage I'm not being a dick! Valspar kicks ass.

[IMBLUESTREAK23]

Beautiful music. Perhaps this is what heaven sounds like.

[Mac9580]

It isn't Crossing Rivers, it is a song made just for this commercial. It is made by Jonathan Elias though.

[32jview]

FUCK!

[hippiechic1029]

is there a way to get the voice at the end out? if there is... can someone please edit it out??? please?

[Verris54321]

this music was inspired by the music of Kelethin from Everquest 1 which is an mmorpg game... the song was called Kelethin

[TxISnIpErIxT]

jonathon elias made this song specificaly for these commercials.

[InnerRise]

Well by golly. This is the same music that's in the brand new Valspar Commercial that just came out.

I thought the music was brand new too, but it's just reused from this commercial and being that this video was posted back in March.......that's old.

Oh well. It's new to me and I wish it was a full complete song. I hate when Commercial do this.

[DeathRebel369]

what is the song?

[KumiKarazaki]

where can u get the mp3 download for this song?!

[dustafo613]

It's Jonathan Elias - Crossing Rivers. If you like this (like a lot of people do) you would like many of his other compositions.

[lorijeans59]

I love the music! Please would you tell me what it is. Love these commercials too. Thank you

[MrTruekilla09]

perfection at its highest point

[azownmadea]

i loe this commercial mainly b/c my exact statue i have in my home appears 20 secs into it lol with green paint dripping i love i t

[MaddieNirvana322]

He did it BETTER than Everquest could ever dream of doing and even if he did copy it, it's still a beautiful piece of music.

[krunkster1990]

Thank you!

Plus, I listened to the Everquest piece and although it's nice for it's particular context, when you consider the pauses and the chosen instruments, there NO competition whatsoever.

I'd actually say that the Everquest song "Kelethin" is similar at best, but definitely not the same as this piece. (It'd almost be insulting to say so). Like you said, copied or not this, is just stunning

[dynamo1122]

Man, I dunno bout yall, but I love this song. Sounds great.

[tujjortoshkandiy]

only commercial I am willing to die for... I wish there was full composition

[Chiptalker]

Here is the email I got back from Valspar:

Good Morning,

Thank you for taking the time to contact Valspar.

The music in the commercials was written specifically for the commercial

by Jonathan Elias and there is not a fully composed piece of music.

We're sorry to inform you that this cannot be purchased. We're sorry for the inconvenience.

[jimpenchant]

I got the exact same email from Valspar. That music is so captivating I had to find out. Pretty cool a TS takes the time to answer requests for info. Thanks vpainter for posting this.

[DisNigRo]

@Chiptalker Dammit! :( I'm sad now.

[TheElefaunt]

5 stars

[RedflameTwilight]

I absolutely ADORE this music, it's GORGEOUS. beyond gorgeous, even

[wtfirl]

this song is from a video game called everquest. was the kelathin music i belive. didnt even give credit to 14 year old midi from the greatest game ever made.

[deebokid]

WHEN I SAW this commericial it brought me RIGHT back to Kelethin !!!!!! what a bastard fuck u JONATHAN ELIAS !!!

[tmn421]

I love this song so much...it simply amazing.

[SHQIPTARSOULJA]

yes it sure is Jonathan Elias is a genius

[deebokid]

not a genious he just copied someone elses idea

[SHQIPTARSOULJA]

yea your right i heard the same melody in everquest

[bayless]

this song is beautiful and for some reason, these commercials scare me. the idea of the color just leaving is haunting

[AngelsFury69]

everytime i hear this song i run to my room, lol just so awesome and relaxing

[zeugmatis]

see...

[Omega6762]

The song in this video is an altered version of the song Crossing River by the artist Johnathan Elias....as i said though this is an altered version of the song and it seems the only one you can find is the original that Mr. Elias did. Too bad for us!

[LUXAETERNA6603]

what is the name of this song???

i just need to know someone plz send me a message and tell me what the name of this beautiful song is, ive been searching forever.

[swhitney16]

aah i'm obsessed with this commercial haha, but this song is called the great divide by jonathan elias, you can't listen to it like anywhereee tho =/

[stupidpat]

does anyone else see any resemblance in this song and music that they use in "House"?

[ImSoSexilicious]

omg yeah, thats what i first thot

[silentwind78]

love this song it calms me when im depressed

[chipper916]

Uhh the stupid lady has to come in and ruin the awsome music...

[horsefeathrs1]

I thought I was the only one who was totally hypnotized by this song! I want it!

[sweetsolitude99]

I've had this piece of music stuck in my head for forever. It's really very melancholy. I love it.

Thanks for uploading this!

[thehockstra]

the song is crossing river by jonathan elias. no doubt. it just has the violins taken out.

[duke2blue1devils]

This song is written by Jonathan Elias. He wrote this song just for the Valspar commercials. It is said that this song may come out on a new cd sometime in 2010.

[einsteinboricua]

I sure hope you're right!

[juliap122]

I like this song its so pretty and calming

[xalchemy]

So far, everone's saying it's been a song he did solely for the commercial, which is really depressing. :(

[tynero1]

I need this song. Its not "Ice on the St. Laurence". If you know it, please post it.

[Sarinv2]

this sounds a lot like the music that plays when house comes back from a commercial like when they are doing the skyview of the hospital

[woozleluv1]

Nice to know I'm not the only one captivated by this commercial. The song Ice on the St. Laurance by Jonathan Elias is very close to the song in the commercial. Either way..this is the first commercial that ever stopped me in my tracks to watch. If anyone finds the song title..pls post it. Thanks

[Sarinv2]

i don't think its crossing river in my honest opinion

[lburna72]

Wait I think the song is actually crossing river. ahhh I'm going crazy on finding this song.

[lburna72]

This song is smooth and relaxing. the name of the song is Ice on the St Luarence by Jonathan Elias. The song is a bit different then the one used in the commercial. But we should send an email to valspar and ask them to release the version used for the commercial.

[blkdaliamurder9000]

i heard this is unreleased material made specifically for these dumb commercials. the music is so beautiful,hopefully it will be released,if it hasnt already!

[ashmaneck]

It actually sounds like a version of "Ice on the St. Laurence" from Jonathan Elias. It's on iTunes. Same melody and tempo, but the commercial sounds like the violins have been removed... Maybe a custom version of that song?

[DarkRose1357]

what's the name of the song? its so pretty

[BlondeBailey]

What is the name of the color that is dripping off the statue? Does anyone know....cause I love that color but I can't find the name.

[areny11]

I heard this music in a movie sound track. Can someone help me with the movie name??

[MaddieNirvana322]

Haha... The only reason I favorited this is because I like the music...

[FanMadeProductions]

Does anybody know when this song is going to come out on itunes or something? i really want it for my ipod :)

[Teemu1]

Songs called Crossing Rivers by Jonathan Elias. From the American River Album. ITunes has it for download.

[pianoguitar114]

i have Crossing Rivers.....i don't believe this is it....it's probably another song by Jonathan Elias

[DumbledorezArmy]

NO, It's NOT Crossing Rivers. Compare the two. Tempo, melody, EVERYTHING. They're totally different

[juliahope16]

i think it may be "the great divide" by Jonathan Elias. but i think it picks the part in the commercial around 3:20 in the song

[ryandombrowski]

Jonathan Elias did the other ones.. i dunno why i haven't found this yet.. if anyone has any information on the song please post!!

[nissanrb30]

no song name yet???

if yes wat is it?!?!?!!

[rennaissancebiker]

All I know is.. I wants it!!

[RageRater]

I love the song.

[RinoaHatake]

This sounds SO much like a song from Final Fantasy 8 or something. Every time this commercial comes on it makes me stop just to hear it and check if it is or not xD

[senicphotogallery]

I had 2 watch this because of the music I herd on the actual commercial i wish there was a full length 1

[Kickin321]

I also loved the music in it. It's just an amazing commercial.

[TVRf4N]

Lovely art direction.

[polkadottgirl16]

ok I saw this and I love the musice in it................i know its wierd i just liked it

[darrienluvr]

i love the song!

[Rawrke]

Such a shame, the song isn't even really out yet. It's exclusive, or somewhere around those lines. Hopefully the song will come out and I can put it on my iPod. The full version that is.

[gor1l1a]

I know nothing in Itunes store yet... So frustrating!

[Rawrke]

Yeah it was made only for this song and it's confidential. I think it might come out during 2010 :\

[kicku299]

gee i was wondering my balls itch

[oxford307]

whats the song called

[Love9sick]

I would like the sheet music for this also.

[xbabiepikax]

It's custom made for the commercial only by the composer Jonathan Elias.

[duralate]

if i was an adult i'd buy valspar, just because i like the music XD

[xerxioslion]

You must be a sweet kid. It's very beautiful, what you said.

It made me think of the time I would be sent to the store to buy a slice of cheese, I would always pick at it and would say to myself that once grown up, I would buy a whole slice for myself. We weren't so poor, but it's just the innocence of youth and the dreams that come with it. Regards.

[BeoX21]

I keep getting the Great Divide but it sounds nothing like this piece

[ColinJM05]

I had chills!

[WastedPo]

In every Valspar upload, the comments almost seem to universally praise the music. Don't get me wrong, the music is fine, but look at that cinematography!

Drink it up, friends. Enjoy it while you can. It seems that most companies these days don't seem to care much about the visual aesthetics of their ads, opting to go with dead, metallic digital shooting. These days it's rare a company will care enough to shoot with film, as Valspar clearly is doing.

[BeoX21]

Well, you see, the commercial is for paint, so they had to make it look nice, to imply that the paint will look nice. They probably don't care one way or another.

[WastedPo]

Every company should want to make their products look nice. Even if it's just a matter of flattering the actors, they should want them to look good just because the viewer would then subconsciously associate aesthetic beauty and warm feelings with the product.

Logically, food companies and beauty products should want their commercials to look as warm as a paint company would, yet most of them I see these days are opting for flat, stale-looking digital. The latest McDonald's ads are hideous.

[BeoX21]

Oh really? What about the BK commercial? Lol, so stupid.

[WastedPo]

You're right that the "square butts" BK commercial is kind of dumb (if that's what you're referring to). Its dumbness is made worse, though, because they too have chosen to shoot digitally. (And I think they just started doing that this year. Before it was all film for them.) The antiseptic, flat, ugly quality of the visuals of that commercial take what was probably a stilly idea to begin with and remove any possible humor or enjoyment that could've been mined from it. (Obviously, IMHO.)

[MissJoyous08]

This is just a beautiful commercial, simply put.

[Zadok83]

I love the music to this commercial. I wish Jonathan Elias would release the full version of this track.

[Esenyushi]

wow, this must be some pretty awesome paint...you know marketing's done thier job when youre willing to watch thier commercial.music's really captivating.

[skeletonsdance]

I really like this commercial. It's so pretty (visually and musically) - it gives me goosebumps, which is pretty surprising for a commercial....

[LevineXoX]

I completly agree, for some reason it gives me goosebumps everytime. For a commerical.. its really amazing.

[chubbylemons]

This song sounds exactly like the Kelethin music from Everquest.

[Nicnivan]

i love the music for all the valspar commercials, i just wish jonathan elias would release the full versions! KingTyler987 is very right, "crossing river" is about as close to the commercial as you are going to get.

[phatman4932]

these valspar commericals are awsome i hope they make more

[ICDave]

This commercial is incredible..

[Llavez]

same question: what is the name of this song?

[KingTyler987]

the artist is Jonathan Elias, and he did this song specifically for these commercials for all i can tell. the closest song he has to this is called "crossing river" still really good

[brainfear]

Thanks but that doesn't help all too much

[KingTyler987]

why not. . . you asked for the artist and song. you cant find this song on any of his cd's, so i told you the song that sounds the closest to it. it is almost the same thing.

[xbabiepikax]

There is no name to the song, he was commissioned to make this for the commercial... and all the other Valspar commercials. His album "American River" has music similar to that from the commercials.

[brainfear]

Thanks for the help!

[heavenescence1989]

same here.

[brainfear]

So pretty. I can't wait to find out the artist/song

[ThisSNisLame7]

what is the name of the song in this commercial?

[ThunderBirdinFlight]

That's what I would like to know.
