I'm looking for the song in a new ad for the 2011 Honda Odyssey.

It's a family driving in the van, the voice-over says something like "what does a family cooped up in a minivan for five hours sound like? Depends on the minivan."

The lyrics of the song include something like "float round the bend...never coming down again".

Thanks

There is a song called "Around the Bend" by Asteroid Galaxy tour. It was used in an iphone ad a while back.

Rats...the search conitnues...thanks guys for the suggestions though...FWIW I am in Canada...perhaps this commercial is only shown here...I dunno...just a thought?

It's a real mellow song with a guy and a guitar basically...

I know exactly how you feel. Fell in love with the song too. I think it's only airing on canadian tv. I only managed to catch the first line....something like:

''and so we hang on the wind''

I really really want to know.

Is this it? Either way it's a nice song

Thanks for the try alicus.

FYI..I emailed Honda.ca...although I doubt I'll hear anythng back...should have promised to buy a car if they told me the song :)
 
Re: 2011 Honda Odyssey

It sounds like something Temper Trap might do. So far, no luck finding this tune. I agree that it's infectious.
 
Re: 2011 Honda Odyssey

I've been frustrated looking for the same song so I emailed Honda Canada..and no I didn't offer to buy a car however this is their response...

Good Afternoon:

Thank you for your e-mail to Honda Canada. Honda had the Odyssey commercial music created by a studio singer specifically for the commercial. Regrettably, this song has not been publicly released on a studio recording.

Best regards,

Re: 2011 Honda Odyssey

There is a shorter version and a longer version.

Lyrics:
We float 'round the bend, never coming down again.
So hold on tight
Only you
all the stars
can't believe we've come this far
 
Re: 2011 Honda Odyssey

My worst fears have been realized...I was hoping it wasn't a "made for a commercial tune"....rats...thanks to those who did some leg work to solve this mystery.

buzzy911...nice call on Temper Trap...never heard them...me likey
 
Re: 2011 Honda Odyssey

It was driving me nuts as well trying to find out the name of the singer. Great voice and song! Kinda Simon and Garfunkle like. Thanks for the info. You might enjoy the bands Fleet Foxes or Band of Horses as well if you liked Temper Trap.
 
Re: 2011 Honda Odyssey

i emailed them too and here's their response:

Re: 2011 Honda Odyssey

Hey!

I have been searching for this song as well....Can't find it but it sounds like JIM JAMES from my morning jacket so i'd look up some of their songs...could be a new one that just came out
 
It was bugging me the first couple of times I saw the commercial. I knew I had heard this song before, but couldn't remember the name. Turns out I've found what I was looking for.

Check out The Drugs Don't Work by The Verve (or cover by Ben Harper). That's the tune you're looking for, the lyrics have changed for the commercial (though some lines exist in both songs), not sure if there was any inspiration (or plagiarism) involved.

Hope my first post was helpful. Happy holidays!
