Jack and Bobby

[ica]

has anybody seen this commercial?

--it's about these two brothers, and their middle-aged mom raising them.. the mom slaps the older one at one point.

they play it on the WB occasionally.
it's usually a pretty long commercial.

does anybody know what the name of the song for this commercial?
>>i'm NOT SURE, but i THINK there's no words in the song.

 

[ica]

oh okay.. yeah, probably just an instrumental jingle for the show.
thanx.

I haven't seen the ad, but I don't watch the WB...

Does the particular show have a website? Maybe they have the promo on there to watch?

OHMYGOD, this song is absolutely brilliant. I saw the commercial for the show at the theatre during the previews and with the surround sound I got chills up my arm. I hope someone knows where it's from!

 

[ica]

oh btw.. i was wrong.. i listened to a different version of the commercial.. w/ the same song of course.. and if you listen closely at the end. there's some GUY singing. >> i don't know what the lyrics were though.

This one was bugging me because it's a very compelling commercial - with a great tune behind the scenes. After digging around for the lyrics, "I am stronger...And I am braver..." I found out it's

Tom McRae's "Stronger Than Dirt" from his Just Like Blood album.

This was also confirmed at The WB message boards.

I also enjoyed the rest of the lyrics:

Stronger Than Dirt

Somebody wake me up
The dream is growing cold
And the night is all we have
Left to hold

Somebody sail this ship
Navigate this crowd
For what I once saw as land
I see as cloud

But I am stronger than you
And I am braver than you
And I will still be here
When the dust has cleared

Sometimes nothing is
The better hand
And you throw it all for this
I understand

But I am stronger than you
And I am braver than you
And I will still be here
When the dust has cleared will you
Will you, will you, will you

And I will still be here
When the dust has cleared
And I will still be here
When the dust has cleared
Will you

You will never get close to me
You will never get close to me
This is who we are
This is who we are
You will never get close to me
Who we are...
You will never get close to me
Who we are...

there's a song (or tune) from the Jack and Bobby previews, they play it regularly for previews of the shows for the next week, and they also played it before the show started coming on to preview it.. it doesn't have any words so it's hard to explain what it is, but they play it regularly.. if anyone knows, please help! thanks.
