Not long ago there was a commercial airing on TV (Canada) for Honey Nut Cheerios called "Bring Back The Bees". The song is a cover by Choir! Choir! Choir! and is called Broken Wings (Originally by the band Mr. Mister) that you hear playing in the background.

Choir! Choir! Choir! is an open choir in Toronto. We meet twice a week to sing, play shows, and have a ton of fun.

My 2 cents - The 1st video is the commercial, the 2nd video is the actual recording that iincludes a full 360 VR Experience (you should have browser java script enabled)

Grab free album here http://www.galenweston.org/free-album-download/ (You can also sample songs here)
1. Fill out the form (name/e-mail/city/etc) and press "Download my Free Album"
2. Give it a few good minutes for the e-mail to arrive with the download link.

Before you decide to download, head over to his YouTube page https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCB5uQZZ...hmg/videos

Plugged In opens with ‘Funk Opus #2,’ a lyrical number reminiscent of Texas guitar hero Eric Johnson, followed by the affecting ballad ‘Song for Daphne’ which showcases Weston’s inviting tone and expressive playing. ‘Bensonite’ is a nod to Weston’s main jazz guitar influences while ‘The Yellow Guitar’ (‘A Guitarra Amarela’) is a smooth offering that features some of the most seductive lines on the disc. ‘Rose Garden’, a lyrical melody laid over a sophisticated set of chord changes features Underhill on alto sax playing in unison with wordless vocals by Prague-born singer Lenka Lichtenberg.

Next, Weston delivers an intimate acoustic fingerstyle version of Keith Jarrett’s ‘Country; before he and crew kick out Miami Vice style jams on “Galen’s Vice”. He then alternates between warm Wes Montgomery-styled octave playing and fluid single note lines on the soulful ‘Austin’..

The rock anthem ‘Tasteless’ is Weston’s tribute to guitar god Steve Vai where his clean-tone re-imagining of Jimmy Van Heusen’s ‘Like Someone in Love’ opens with a solo guitar intro that showcases some accomplished chordal melody playing. ‘Late and Never’ has Weston throwing his sustained, slightly distorted guitar lines around with rockish authority before closing with ‘Rock Jam’ — a dialogue of clean fingerpicked chords and contrapuntal bass lines.

My 2 cents - The download is 116 MB (VBR .MP3 files and includes album artwork) For those that want 1200x1200 artwork http://imgur.com/3AEu3W7
