Jose Gonzalez - Heartbeats

This song, made famous in the Sony Bravia commercial that unleashed thousands of bouncy balls down a San Francisco street, fits in that wonderful category of beautiful-yet-sad songs.

“To call for hands of above / to lean on / wouldn’t be good enough…”

GregBrown, have you heard the original version, by The Knife? It’s just as hauntingly beautiful, in a different (but still incredible) kind of way.

If Jose’s version is the one you quietly fall in love to, The Knife’s version is the one you violently fall in love to.
