Memorial music

[McLovin]

I thought TCM's tribute the this year's deceased filmmakers was particularly tasteful. (TCM's promo department has superb editors.) Does anyone know what song they used for the soundtrack?

Promises Lyrics

Artist(Band): Badly Drawn boy

Album: Born in the U.K.

 

Promises

 

I promise you will get old

I promised you everything

To protect you wherever you go

I'll give you this diamond ring

 

Just promise you will remember

A promise should last forever

Right up to the dying embers

Of a fire that burns so slow

 

It's a different day everyday

Don't want you to walk alone

But how long we carry on

When all of these things have gone

 

Just promise you will remember

That promises last forever

Still after the last dying embers

Of a fire that burns so slowly

 

It's a beautiful thing to do

Sometimes you just have to walk away

Remember I do love you

Have courage in what you say

 

And promise you will remember

That promises last forever

Still after the dying embers

The fire that burns so slowly

 

And sometimes you just have to walk away

Sometimes you just have to walk away

Wishing today was yesterday

Yeah, sometimes you just have to walk away

The one that has been most memorable for me was the year they used Sarah McLaughlin's "I Will Remember You". It's the only one I've remembered.

 

I loved the Holiday promo clip, with all the scenes from the Busby Berkely numbers (can't remember which movie it was right now!), but I didn't care for the music-the singer sounded off-key.

 

I'd love to hear "Casta Diva" used for something-it's so beautiful, and seems like it would fit into quite a few of those kinds of clips.
