Song

This little ditty was recently used in an Apple computer commercial. I liked it so much that I went on a quest to find it and find out who did it. The name of the piece is called Song and the group is Kidstreet. The original version isn't as expansive as this version, though it's still very nice. Whereas this piece is dominated by strings the original version is dominated by piano and is far more staccato. Where the original comes across as stuffy, this version breathes.

The piece starts off almost innocuous but then becomes something more, it transforms into something else, something intense. The melody catches you at first and just before you get lulled by it, in come the drums and the song begins to build. All the while the strings never cease in the background. The song is like the tide, coming in and going out and you the listener ride the rhythm of it thanks to those never ceasing strings.

This is a great background piece while you go about your daily routines or it's a get you up and get you moving piece. Propelling you forward into your day thanks to the drums and those tireless strings. Enjoy!
