GM made this awesome ad spot for the Olympics that uses Brandi Carlile's "The Story." I love the lyric "I was made for you." So beautiful.

  • GM Olympic Commercial

    This commercial shows the heart of this American company. I can't watch it enough and I feel the pride in the innovations US companies are capable of moving forward. Great job!!

    Thank you!!!!! This song has been HAUNTING me constantly. It's so beautiful...

    Anyone else really happy that recently, a bunch of indie/non-mainstream songs have made their way into commercials?

  • wow bro, you must ...

    wow bro, you must be one talented artist. I've seen U2 three times and this sounds nothing like anything they've ever done. And even if it did, every guitar player knows that every "original" progression you ever come up with was used by someone else somewhere. Get a life and quit criticizing good artists. Oh and U2, one of my favorite bands, started off by ripping from the Ramones.

    I've kept hearing nothing about how great a job GM did with this commercial is. IT S**kS !!!! It's just like every other "Going Green" car commercial. I guess the reason I feel differently than other people is because I loved Carlile's music before I saw this ad. It's the exact same as every other car ad except it actually has good music in it which is why she's getting so many new fans from it.

  • Carlile is a pimp ...

    Carlile is a pimp for whoring out her art. Usually an artist will sell-out his or her work in the twilight of their careers to corporations and T.V commercials. Is she a writer for jingle tunes or a serious artist? Any how the riff was ripped off from U 2s ''With or Without You'' so it's not very original.

    If you like Brandi Carlile you may also like the stylings of the late great Eva Cassidy doing "Songbird" or "Over the Rainbow". Just do a search for her on youtube.

    If you think this is good, you should see her live in concert. She took both my and my boyfriend's breath away. She's definitely the most talented and personable artist we've ever seen!
