Lloyds TSB music, Eliza's Aria, do you love it or hate it?

[Parm]

You've probably all heard the music in Lloyds TSB's "For the Journey" advertisements. Question is, do you love it or hate it?

As far as I'm aware, and with a little help from Google, the track itself is Eliza's Aria by Elena Kats-Chernin.

Personally, I find it really beautiful and love seeing the advertisements! The music is almost haunting, it seems really sad with just a touch of hope.

Thoughts on the music? If you've not heard it, here it is in the ad: YouTube - Lloyds TSB for the journey advert

I like it personally, aswell as the recent single - The Journey Continues.

There is something about the vocals that I can't put my finger on, but really, really works.

Another fan here!

[tiggerai]

Love it... especially the remixes, but then I've always been a fan of that kinda bootleg...

(Adagio for strings anyone?!)

[Funkstar]

yeah, brilliant adverts.

I love the style of animation too.

Not keen on that single though. The stop motion iniation of live action is prett cool thogh.

[dave87]

Adagio for strings is an absolute classic, both in the original form (how Barber intended) and as a remix. The latter gets my vote, but I'm not averse to the original either

[Sinizter]

One of the nicer adverts on TV.

I cant say I love it, but it certainly is more on the positive side of the scale.

[TAKTAK]

i quite like it aswell, even if it's not my usual fortay

[nichomach]

Sorry, it annoys the hell out of me. Barber's Adagio, yes. Vaughan Williams, yes. Elgar, yes. Respighi, yes. Rachmaninov, yes. Puccini, yes. But if I were locked in a room with the person responsible for that annoying warbling piece of nonsense and a chainsaw, well...I think I could guarantee a sudden and temporary loss of control...

[MadduckUK]

hate those adverts, absolutely everything about them

[Parm]

I thought I'd ask cause my brother can't stand it either!

Me on the other hand, I've been listening to the song for the most part of the day.

[Mousemat]

I liked it so much it became my ringtone for a while

[dave87]

Probably wouldn't go that far

[Mousemat]

Well to be fair it was only for as long as it took to get the song out of my head. Same applies to my current one - the I Am Weasel theme tune

Another fan here!

Brilliant catchy jingle!
