Tearjerker: Moving and Heartwarming Masterpieces of Commercial Jingles and Songs

You’re BeautifulJames Blunt

James Blunt – You’re Beautiful (Official Music Video) [4K]

It was used as the commercial song for Toyota’s Vitz.

It’s the track that made James Blunt internationally famous.

His singing voice is so beautiful it brings me to tears on its own, but the music video’s impact is so overwhelming that all that’s left afterward is a sense of emptiness.

Can’t Get It Right TodayJoe Purdy

Joe Purdy – Can’t Get It Right Today

This is a song by American folk singer-songwriter Joe Purdy.

It was used in a commercial for the compact car Kia Spectra.

The song starts with a light, lively piano, but Joe’s on-the-verge-of-tears vocals and the guitar solo in the interlude are utterly heart-wrenching.

His somewhat sorrowful singing voice is really wonderful.

In a calm, measured narration, it introduces the brand’s dedication to whisky-making.

The background music is the Irish folk song “The Last Rose of Summer,” whose gentle, soothing warmth perfectly matches the mood of the commercial.
