Is it just me or does anyone else find they are driven to seek out new artists mostly by virtue of tunes played on TV adverts?
There is an advert playing here in the UK at the moment and it's driving me bloody crazy trying to find the song they're playing 😵
It's the Sky Summer Movies advert (or something like that)

This advert?

The advert has just been on again and the lyrics I'm hearing at the end (sung by a woman) are "feeling alive again"...I've tried a number of different google searches and am getting nothing...arrgggghhh!
never mind, found it!...goldfrapp - alive...not so sure I like the rest of the song 😵
