A&E keeps showing promos for their new show "Intervention". The music that accompanies it is great but I can't find anything on it. It's a male singer & starts off with:

When I was born
They looked at me & said
what a good boy, what a smart boy

Then he sings it as:
And when you were born
they looked at you & say
what a good girl

There is a line about "wake up scared" & I *think* the closing line is:
Be with me tonight.

Anyone know the song I'm talking about?

Thanks!

:check: Duh@me...I answered my own question. Barenaked Ladies "What A Good Boy"
 
They are using it on and off but the lyrics include:

"...what a good boy, what a smart boy..."
 
Just curious if anyone knows the second song in the A&E Intervention ads, not the "Good Boy" song, but the other one with a line like "5 steps."
 
Has anyone heard the ads for the new show on A&E its called Intervention, there are a couple songs i heard but the one im looking for sounded like Bare Naked Ladies... i cant remember the lyrics but the song talks about seeing ppl when they were kids... hope thats enough for someone who knows the song .... any help would be appreciated .... thanks
 
I am not sure anyone has seen this new show on A&E called intervention but the promo for the show (and I think the music is in the show too) has this really nice song. The promo is very simple it is just a black screen with white writting. The song is sort of a folky guitar thing ... anyone ?? anyone ??
 
Does anyone know about a song from the commercial for the A&E show 'Intervention'? One of the songs is by Bare Naked Ladies, I think it's called 'What a good boy', but there is another song that I think is different from that. On the commercial it is a solo fingerpicked guitar part. It sounds very delicate, almost dream like. Does anyone know what song this is? I am trying to get ahold of the BNL song to see if that is just a part of it, but the solo guitar part doesn't sound like them to me. Any ideas?
 
Here are the lyrics for What A Good Boy by Barenaked Ladies

When I was born, they looked at me and said
what a good boy, what a smart boy, what a strong boy.
And when you were born, they looked at you and said,
what a good girl, what a what a smart girl, what a pretty girl.

We've got these chains that hang around our necks,
people want to strangle us with them before we take our first breath.
Afraid of change, afraid of staying the same,
when temptation calls, we just look away.

[Chorus]
This name is the hairshirt I wear,
and this hairshirt is woven from your brown hair.
This song is the cross that I bear,
bear it with me, bear with me, bear with me,
be with me tonight,
I know that it isn't right, but be with me tonight.

I go to school, I write exams,
if I pass, if I fail, if I drop out,
does anyone give a damn?
And if they do, they'll soon forget 'cause it won't take much for me
to show my life ain't over yet.
I wake up scared, I wake up strange.
I wake up wondering if anything in my life is ever going to change.
I wake up scared, I wake up strange
and everything around me stays the same.

[Chorus]

I couldn't tell you that I was wrong,
chickened out, grabbed a pen and paper, sat down and I wrote this song.
I couldn't tell you that you were right,
so instead I looked in the mirror,
watched TV, laid awake all night.

We've got these chains, hang 'round our necks,
people want to strangle us with them before we take our first breath.
Afraid of change, afraid of staying the same when temptation calls ...

[Chorus]

When I was born, they looked at me and said;
What a good boy, what a smart boy, what a strong boy.
And when you were born, they looked at you and said;
what a good girl, what a smart girl, what a pretty girl, hey
 
I don't usually watch the network so I don't know if this airs often, but its been playing ALL night for the new season thats starting. Its a very soft song with female vocals...

Thanks!
 
Anyone?

A couple of the lines from the commercial are:
"i broke the heart of someeone pure
....i think i broke my own heart"
 
Nathan, I've spent hours trying to find the song as well!

Add: "..a broken heart is mending.."

Last season I found the (Intervention) title song ('5 Steps' by 'The Davenports'), lyrics & MP3 in about 5 minutes.... no such luck here!

Had to pull out my acoustic guitar for this one, got the parts on the promo down, but I want the whole song!!

Let me know if you find out & I'll do the same...

The song is 'riddle" by 'briana winter'
Go to her myspace - http://myspace.com/brianawinter
click on 'riddle' in the standalone player, & you got it!!!

riddle

i broke the heart of someone pure
apologies fall short of cure
i think i found the riddle here
a broken heart has mending years

on the corner i am standing near
can i daydream you to appear
i think i found the riddle here
it's me that broke my own heart dear

so i'm waiting yes i'm waiting
til your waiting is done
i think i found the riddle here
a broken heart has mending years.

Thanks so much sean! I freaking love this girl....her songs on myspace are great! I can't find any decent downloads from her though. Dare I buy the actual CD??
 
i understand there are two different commercials, but one was very general, the other was on a certain episode.

i am seeking the commercial that was very general, the song was mellow, and slow, and the lyrics i can remember from the song went-

"apologies fall short of a cure"... and also in the song there were the lyrics "Broken heart is mending"

thank you, and please, if you know the title of this song, respond.
