Just a brief aside… having seen this twice now (Both with the same company) I can not get over the bizarre juxtaposition between the cutesy CGI-ish ferret creatures and the movie for which this song was written.
Seriously, WTF.

Oh my god, you’re right. Anyone who’s watched that movie would have quite a different response to that ad than Telus expects, I’m sure. It’s powerful music, just not in the way they want it to be.

Good lord. Even knowing what that was going to be didn’t prepare me for that.

I know!
Make no mistake, I can (and do!) listen to Lux Aeterna without irony purely for the joy of the sound; it’s a beautiful song. But this… this is just… Words fail. They really do.

I don’t know. I like it, and I have a pretty visceral reaction to the song. Sadly, I think Telus did a good job reinventing that. Makes me want a smart phone.
