I'm sure that's off an advert or film closing credits?

Good tune, he's dead though now. It made the charts earlier this year I think.

Here is another really good tune.

That track is on the Meet Joe Black soundtrack and after seeing the film you kinda associate the music with the people in it - so that track reminds me of Brad Pitt - and he is about as far removed in reality from Brad Pitt as you can get!!!

Is catchy though.............

It was also used on an episode of E.R. when one of the doctors was dying of brain cancer. Very touching

Top play on my ipod at the moment, sheer class. The Rufus Wainwright version is probably better in my opinion.
