Norfolk Southern

[NewNameAcquired]

I wish I could remember what the comercial was FOR. I just remember seeing those red plastic refillable gas containers you can fill at the gas station. They were walking along some grass in a line.

I turned away from the TV to begin writing down the lyrics. The only bit I could get goes:

"Now my new love she adores me, but everytime i'm with her i'm still thinking of you."

It was acoustic guitar, light male vocal. Can't find the lyrics in ANY Google search.

Thanks!

That commercial is for Norfolk Southern. If you look under the "Media" section at their website (http://www.nscorp.com/nscportal/nscorp/?by...preference=true), you can watch the commercial and listen to the full version of the song.

You Don’t Need Me” (2007)

This contemporary tune backs “Lonely Gallon.” Ravi Krishnaswami of Sacred Noise in New York and Steve Kolander of J. Walter Thompson in Atlanta composed it especially for NS.

I transcribed the lyrics, so maybe more people who like this song will find it through a search engine. I looked and looked, but this site was the only one that had useful info.

You Don't Need Me
---------------------

Heard you're comin' back to town
Hopin' that you'll come around,
And see me

Thinkin' 'bout you so long
How'd I get things so wrong?
You don't need me

Now my new love she adores me
But every time I'm with her
I'm still thinkin' of you
Now my new love she's all right
Yeah I see her every night
Cause you don't need me

When there's trouble on the rise
She's bound to see it in my eyes
That you don't need me
Cause like the sun that sets each evening
Everytime I'm with her
I'm still thinking of you

But you don't need me
To make you smile
You don't need me
To hold you when you cry
No you don't need me
To leave the light on for you
And I just can't bear to see
You don't need me
You don't need me

All my friends say walk away
And let my new love take your place
Since you don't need me
I take a step then take it back
Can't seem to roll on down the track
Though you don't need me
There's a light above the screen door
Waitin' but you don't come around no more
Now my new love waits
For me to look at her that way
Now my new love waits
For me to whisper things I won't say
Yeah she tells me that she needs me
And I wanna feel it believe me

Now my new love she adores me
But every time I'm with her
I'm still thinkin' of you

But you don't need me
To make you smile
You don't need me
To hold you when you cry
No you don't need me
To leave the light on for you
And I just can't bear to see
You don't need me
You don't need me
You don't need me
You don't need me

Thank you so much! Unfortunately, "Save target as" didn't come up...it's Quicktime and it only says "Save as source', "Save as quicktime movie", "Plugin Settings" or "Connection Speed"...is there another way to do it?

 

[doctormemory]

Go here:

http://www.nscorp.com/nscportal/nscorp/Med...ls%20&%20Video/

Find the part on the page that says:

To download, right click here, choose “Save Target As...” and save it to the desired location on your computer.

or, when the quicktime file finishes, click 'File', then 'Save Page As'

and see it that is effective.

The TV is usually just on in the background, but I keep hearing this song, and I finally tried to see what the commercial was and all I caught was several red gas cans with a song being sung in the background with words similar to this: "Hopin you would come around and see me" and "my new love she adores me". Those are the only lyrics I could remember. Anyone have any idea what the song or commercial is. Thanks so much if you can help.

 

[jukeboy]

red gas cans sound like the caliber commercial where a guy fills up one with slushie
