i adore this commercial. so sweet.

what is this song? i swear i have it somewhere but i can't place it

[AnthonyL001]

For the music, search "in the mood for love slow motion feelings" on youtube. The video featured there is directly cut from Chinese movie "In the mood for love" and the music used is called "Yumeji's Theme". Not an official confirmation, but maybe a rearrangement in the diamond commercial.

This version (with this song) work better for me.

I love the song "Stand By Me" but I believe that the song used on this version makes the viewer focus on the older couple and makes a stronger connection when the younger woman turns around. "Stand By Me" version leaves you focusing on the younger couple from start to end and there dynamics are diminished when the woman turns around.

this is the first version of the commercial i had seen. i hadnt seen it in years, and i still remembered the theme. i love this song way more than the Stand By Me version. just an opinion. but if i got that song stuck in my head for that long, then it just feels right.

The older lady is actress/singer Shannon Bolin, who played the wife of the middle-aged man in the film "Damn Yankees" - and the gentleman she's walking with in this commercial is her real-life husband of over 50 years! It's nice to realize the older couple were just exactly who they seemed to be. Makes the commercial even sweeter and more poignant.

Okay is it just me, or does it seem like the young couple just got in an argument? The woman looks very modestly pissed; she's crossing her arms, she's not looking at her husband, and then they split up to shuffle on past the sweet elderly couple. It seems like they see them and then think "Oh yeah, let's pretend we're in love so we can look happy too".

The older couple is really all this commercial needed to say "diamonds are forever".

All diamonds are blood diamonds. You go on telling yourself how meaningful it is.

I love this commercial!!!

Michael, your Wal-Mart-joke says it all. Obviously you believe that buying a ring for $50 is the wrong way to express love. It seems like you believe, that the more expensive the ring, the greater the love or the personality of the owner. Well, the ring is just a symbol anyway. It could even be made of plastic or wood.

I love this commercial. I bought my wife a gold ring with four diamonds and it's beautiful.

[12Michael19]

Ralph, diamonds are forever. I'm sorry that you had to buy your spouse's engagement ring at Wal-Mart. Just because you're "modest" and not flashy, doesn't mean that people associated (the girl wearing it, or the guy who bought it) with a nice diamond are "uppity".

[RalphCMX]

Wearing diamonds is for fools. They sparkle, they are expensive - everyone will be sooo impressed. For some people that's all what life is about. Modest people don't wear diamonds.

Sorry, that was supposed to be Yumeji's Theme. I
