What's That Song in the DeBeers Diamond Commercial?

'Falling in Love at a Coffee Shop,' by Landon Pigg
Perhaps you've had that feeling of unknowingly falling for someone. If you have, then this DeBeers "Diamonds Are Forever" commercial really hits home. A young man and woman driving along a city street have nothing to say, because Landon Pigg's music says it for them: "I think quite possibly, maybe I'm falling for you/Yes there's a chance that I've fallen quite hard over you." While some watchers are consumed by the lyrics of the "Coffee Shop,' Pigg seems to have a different opinion. He told Spinner, "It's great getting to hear a song against such beautiful cinematography. Even if your TV was on mute, you would still be satisfied."'Falling in Love at a Coffee Shop' has brought Pigg digital success, selling more than 13,000 downloads in its first week available on iTunes -- largely due to its exposure in the ad. Pigg's music has also been featured in television shows including ABC's hit medical drama 'Grey's Anatomy.'
Being born and raised in Nashville, the 24-year-old singer-songwriter relies heavily on life experiences for the content of his music, and he attributes his talents to his parents -- his father introduced informal music lessons into Pigg's life during his teens, and his mother nourished his poetic side. Starting out performing in local coffee shops, Pigg no longer heads to the caffeine-driven establishments to spread his music, saying it's too emotional to have an espresso machine running at the climax of his songs.

Nice commercial from a cartel that is a most unethical entity. Ever try to resell that "priceless"
diamond?

Is the "Dandelions" one with "What Are You Doing The Rest of Your Life?" That's sung by the late, great Dusty Springfield. She recorded it about 40 years ago. That song gives me goosebumps when I hear it. Dusty had a rough life that ended way to soon.

Don--The song that Taco Bell uses is an old one. It is from the great Joe Jackson and the song is "One More Time" You might know his song "Is she really going out with him" a little bit better. I knew I knew the song and it was driving me crazy. Then I remembered when I first heard it--my camp bunk in 1982!

Love the commercial. Love, love, love the song. Now, here's the strange part (or at least it is probably strange to some people.) The song makes me think of my poodle. What can I say, she's 12, and she's my sweet baby girl.

I love the music on that commercial! I think the man, a baby boomer, not half of "a young couple," used to be on "As The World Turns" years ago. Thanks for leting me know how to DL the song. @>~~^~~^~~

Yes the song is lovely and the idea is very romantic. But do you even have that someone special to give diamonds too? No? www.emarital.com can help.

Wow! Love the song - It is so hauntingly beautiful! Love the commercial - it says so much without saying a word! Landon Pigg should release it as a single. Or maybe as a release from a CD of the same title. I would definitlely purchase it. Thank you Landon Pigg for bringing romance back. I haven't heard such a beautiful song or melody in a very long time. We need more music like this.

The ad agency for Diamonds Are Forever does an incredible job. Their "Dandelions" commercial had this same feel. Was haunting and beautiful at the same time. Beautiful match of video and music. I mean, you have done something right when people go to the web site to watch and listen to your commerial! It made me kind of sad when they took it off. Gave me a couple of minutes in the day to just take a breath and feel good.

Yes that song is nice, but i would like to know the title of the Taco Bell song. Its a 30 sec. commercial and its an newer upbeat rock song, and the only lyrics they use are "One More Time"
Thanks Don

I thought this commercial and song was exceptional from the first time I saw it. Evidently my husband thought so to. On Christmas morning he presented me with a DeBeers 2ct diamond journey necklace. I later found out that this commercial was the inspiration for the purchase. Thanks DeBeers for the fantastic commercial and for my show stopping necklace.

I thought the song was from Huffamoose, it sounds lyrically similar to their song, "James"

This commercial does a great job at reaching people. It touches us because it it about more than a product. It is believable. Well almost, most of America, especially cab drivers, would be blasting thier horns rather than drive around the in love couple. The imagery still speaks more than words while the song finds it way home to one's heart.

I like that EPIC BATTLE type-music in Latin, with the (Nike? Gatorade?) ads,
with B &W sports scenes
Search youtube for O Fortuna Pango Vulnera, pick the 5;00 version with the japanese chorus

Unless the article writer is 90, why does she refer to the couple as young? I liked this commercial BECAUSE of the baby boomer perspective.
