When I first saw this ad in the cinema with the lights out and quite loud, it really sent a shiver down me, it really made me think. ANyone know what song it is?

[jaicket]

The song is 'This Side of the Blue' sung by Joanna Newsom from her album 'The Milk Eyed Mender'

looks to me like they should cut the power more often, if that's what it takes for yanks to wake up.

Not sure this is just about America. If you think about it, this is relevant to most of us.

I absolutely agree danniizappa. I love it!

It's not actually called 'Svetlana Sucks Lemons' , it's called 'This Side of the Blue'!

The track is called 'This Side of the Blue' from the album 'The Milk-Eyed Mender' if anyone is interested! :)

@harokirl exactly! I live here in manhattan and that guy REALLY annoyed me. It's like get over it mate, there was alot of looting at the blackout I remember but there were some places where it was like this ad and when it happened I was at time square and everything just stopped and everyone crapper themselves loool then everyone found out and it just became a party with candles :)

@chauhan1954 - This Side Of The Blue by Joanna Newsom, off the debut album called The Milk-Eyed Mender. She has just released and incredible new triple album called Have One On Me - check it out. She is my favourite artist.
