Every once in a while, an instrumental with a weary, trundling-through-the-rote-tasks-of-the-day vibe comes to mind, and it's a tune I don't mind hearing several times in a row. For years, "Over The River" by The High Llamas has made me envision a commercial in which factory workers are punching their time cards, one by one. During the flute interlude at the 43-second mark, a butterfly enters the room, followed by an artist who is paying no mind to the factory workers. Instead, she's concentrating intensely on the butterfly and painting it in vivid colors. The colors spring off of the canvas, in contrast to the washed out, dull gray scene of workers punching in. The final scene zooms in on the painting, where, below the butterfly, the artist has painted, "Find your calling. Feed your muse." On the next line is the URL for a job listings site.
I'm surprised that no one, to my knowledge, has filmed such a commercial already. Granted, it sounds as though a robot is chirping periodically throughout the tune, so maybe no one has found the right way to integrate that aspect of the tune into a commercial.
