holidayidol Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Does anyone know what song that is playing during the TCM "31 Days Of Oscar" Promo ? Is it simply a generic instrumental, or is there a title/artist? It seems like a really great dynamic piece, and I'd love to hear the whole song.

holidayidol Posted January 15, 2008 Author Share Posted January 15, 2008 I agree, and I had thought that myself, actually. But I've scoured through every Badly Drawn Boy album/ep/bonus material that I know exists, at least since his 2002 stuff. It sounds pretty similar to the song "Promises" in and of itself, so I even acquired the 6-track Promises EP which features 5 remixes of the song. But no luck. None of them are the song on this Oscar promo. Nor is any other Badly Drawn Boy instrumental as far as I can tell. If anyone knows what it is, by all means, let us know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweetTangerine50 Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I've been dying to know this song, as well. It's beautiful. I really hope it wasn't made specifically for the ad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holidayidol Posted January 26, 2008 Author Share Posted January 26, 2008 I went ahead and submitted this question to the "Contact Us" question box. Has anyone else had any luck yet finding this song title ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unrelatedwaffle Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 I also contacted TCM about two weeks ago and have gotten no response. Still holding out hope, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holidayidol Posted February 4, 2008 Author Share Posted February 4, 2008 Ah yes, awesome! In another thread here we finally had a lot of luck with information on this promo, and several of us even carried email correspondence with the Fresh Paint directors that created this promo. The one thing they told us about this song was that it was indeed custom composed for this promo and that it was not accessible to distribute or give any further information. I thought that was a dead end, so I'm very pleasantly surprised to see this in MP3 format. Thank you KillerKowalski for pointing that out! By the way, here is the direct link... http://i.cnn.net/v5cache/TCM/2008/31days/download/TCM31DaysTheme.mp3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
