The opening half-minute of this song, before the words softly come in, was used last year in a promotional spot by
PBS. The bit featured
stars,
fireflies,
kids, and this
gorgeous and
instantly recognizable melody. The scene was oddly reminiscent of the
album cover for
And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out. Watching tv one afternoon, I suddenly heard my favorite song of six months before, was initially very surprised, but then smiled and sighed.
Aww...
So if you saw the promo and were wondering who wrote the nice background music, now you know.
