Just came along this... I couldn't watch it, too sad for me at present. But I recall P.O.You being used by Hewlett-Packard also. Found the ad on youtube.

Seems strange how all of a sudden ad. people are using Cure material!

I believe this ad is what financed Join The Dots.

that there is a touching one too... I'd definately believe it was quite a sum paid in royalties for that!  The song just makes you stop in your tracks... and think of loved ones...  :(   .. or buy a HP!!  :-D

There is a beautiful cover version of Pictures of You being used in a very sad commercial on Aussie TV about traffic accidents. Yes the stories are all actual cases.

Sorry, but I couldn't really find so much beauty in that version of the song? Or...I really love the piano as an instrument, and the chords sound nice, but well...It would be a whole lot better if there were some vocals, or at least a melody to those chords played on some instrument...now there are just chords in there, and well...it fits in good with the subject matter and the mood of the clips, but as a song in itself, this cover didn't do that much at all for me...it was almost like elevator music, but with nice chords changes in a simplistic way instead...but that's not enough.

I kinda knew i't would get a whack as its a cover on a fan forum.

Did you hang around for the lyrics? going by your post it would seem you bailed after a few seconds.

I admit the piano adds nothing, its the beauty of the words highlighted. And her voice ain't half bad either.

No, really, I often enjoy listening to covers, as long as they're...good. =P

Haha, oh, there were lyrics as well...that makes it worth another try. =P I was kinda thinking that I might have missed something, 'cause I checked one of the clips out (start to finish), and there was no singing in that clip. I'll check it out again! :)

Agreed, it´s a beautiful cover indeed. It's minimal in a very effective way, the simple piano chords and the soft girl voice...
