I had to watch it again, love it! The song is soooo amazing. Puts a lump in my throat every time I hear it. Does anyone else know if any of José González other songs are any good? I also found the lyrics if anyone is interested;
One night to be confused
One night to speed up truth
We had a promise made
Four hands and then away
Both under influence we had divine scent
To know what to say
Mind is a razorblade
To call for hands of above to lean on
Wouldn’t be good enough for me
One night of magic rush
The start: a simple touch
One night to push and scream
And then relief
Ten days of perfect tunes
The colours red and blue
We had a promise made
We were in love
And you, you knew the hand of a devil
And you kept us awake with wolves teeth
Sharing different heartbeats in one night
For anyone who plays the guitar heres the link for Guitar Tabs.

I can’t play the guitar at all, but I think it will be a good new year’s revelation to lean.
for checking his other stuff. Keep me posted! I might have to ask Santa for a copy of it! Colourful but not very bright.

If the album is as sweet as heartbeats then it must be a winner. I had a look at some of the reviews for it. On average it got 8.5 out of 10. However, there are two of Gonzalez most endearing songs that are not included on this album - 'Hand On My Heart' and 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' which are a lot like 'Heartbeats'. By the sounds of it, he is planning to put them in his next album. Now I think its time to listen to heartbeats again.

Hrmm... the last thing I'd expect the hippies would be raving about would be plastic balls and adverts ... for televisions of all things!?
Isn't plastic, commercial advertising and TV the enemy and all?
Or does acustic guitar make everything OK?
Well, shall we go?
Yes, let's go.

I've had version by The Knife on my playlist for ages, I didn't realise it was a cover!
That is such a fantastic add

It doesn't make ANY sense if you're not American, and it's not even really that good upon multiple viewings but this current Gatorade commercial rocked my world the first time I saw it.

That fake spot of the ball going through Dwight Clark's hands almost gives me chills. Maybe you had to be a Giants fan living in San Fransisco in the 80s.

I really hate Audi adverts, so pretentious. It makes me feel ashamed to be male that people want to drive around in things that are marketed as aggressive things. Grr.
The 'To Dream the Impossible Dream' Honda ad is really nice. It's nice even if you could never afford to buy a Honda, so the ad's message is discreet enough to stop it from being a bad bit of telly.
What a wonderful miracle if only we could look through each other's eyes for an instant.
