Don't know but I've been wondering that for a while.
I think its Edie Brickell, my wife thinks its nora jones.
either way its good.

Been wondering the same thing. Doesn't really sound like Norah to me. I sent Nike cust service an email and asked them. Probably won't get a response but who knows. They probably won't know anyway. :(

Maybe it's Sheryl....hehehe. :D

It's an originals score. The WearYellow spot's music, composed by Dave Wittman and Jimmy Haun at Elias Arts, Los Angeles with support from creative director David Gold and head of production Dayna Turcotte, features the vocal talents of Kathleen Fisher.

The sound was designed by creative director Dane Davis and Eddie Kim at 740 Sound/Danetracks with help from producer Scott Ganary, and Jeff Payne at Eleven Sound Studios in Santa Monica mixed the final audio

Strong post

DOH!, I had just found that information. you beat me to it ron m :)

Way to go, RonM.

LOL...well there ya go! Nice job Ron. :)

yeah I dig that music... a lot... It actually has been in my head the past few rides...

I'm glad they are playing it all over, and not just during cycling related shows... I think I saw it during the NBA finals the other night

Great commercial actually taped it, I had no idea who the rider was, so much for being informed. Nike really hit the nail on the head with that one.

Is this music available to the general public? I can't get the tune out of my head. I have to have a copy!

I want a copy of the comercial. Any ideas? Computer copy; not VCR...

It looks like you can download a Quicktime version. Just right click the image and save it to
you computer. Heck there is a email address listed on that site. You could try contacting them but I doubt they would send you a copy (copyright issues and all that)

Ron - are you in the ad or commercial production biz? Reason I ask is because I am and having worked with several of the people you mention, I wonder if it's possible we know each other?

Doesn't let you save it.... perhaps if I was using Quicktime Pro?

Someone can make a new thread out of this if they like, but here's how to get the quicktime version of the file if you want it.

No, just someone with an unnatural interest in minutia. I don't mean to trivialize the efforts of those who created and produced the spot. The commercial captured me the first time I saw it a couple of weeks ago so I endeavored to learn more about it. It seems "Whose music is that?" is a question asked quite frequently.

I'm in New Jersey, looking out the window glumly knowing the rain has stolen another day of biking from me. It's not likely we've ever crossed paths.

Thanks Postmansi, this link works great. I right clicked (image on right hand side of the page) and put it on my desktop. However, I can't figure how to actually get it into my Quicktime player so I can increase the screen size, etc.?

By the way....the audio is full fidelity and sounds great.

Correction:

It's a plagarized score. Elias stole the arrangement from a local songwriter. Don't they have a reputation for doing that kind of thing?

"Whose music is that?"

Hm....why are so many writers claiming one little song? How many Elias Arts writers does it take? Maybe because they arent' the ones who wrote the song?

If you are going to make allegations such as this...show us the proof!

Dear Rock the Casbah,
I heard it from a very reliable source. Time will tell...but you heard it here first.

"Whose music is that?"

It's mine now! After I saw the commercial the first time, I figured out how to play it, then played it endlessly while watching the Tour. It's easy - just "Travis Pick" back and forth between Em and G.

Funny - I saw another commercial with a great music track. The new (of all things) Toyota commercial, 'Moving Forward.' Written and performed by Fisher, with Kathy Fisher's vocals - the same people who wrote the Nike ad. From the Fisher website: Unfortunately it looks as though NIKE has dropped the ball on releasing a full length version of the track Fisher did for the Lance Armstrong commercials. Sadly we do not have the rights, or even a copy of the full length version to make available at this site. Our apologies to everyone who wrote for information regarding the song.

That was Fisher??? Huh. I love her voice and the track "I Will Love You" is awesome. If anyone wants to hear more - www.fishertheband.com

Somebody (Nike, or even Livestrong) is missing out on a HUGE opportunity. How many of us would pay $1.00 to download that tune?? I sure would - it would be a blast to ride to. The usual mindless pop tune costs that much on iTunes - so why not make some money on a song they already own? Who knows somebody at Livestrong? Lance - are you out there???

uh, maybe they aren't releasing it because there are issues? Such as they may have plagarized? This is the latest news folks.

Yep, and I'm Jan Ullrich. My statement and your statement have the same amount of credibility. For christs sake stop repeating the same thing. Either give proof or shut up and go away. Damn you're annoying.

I love that commercial. I'd like to see a whole movie like that. Then I'd like to buy the dvd.

I don't have to proove anything to you. You - go away.

no. But I think everybody got the point the FIRST time you said it was plagerized.

I become very upset when any corporation exploits independant artists. In this case, numerous songwriters and producers are claiming one song, which was written by two people who did not get any credit at all. I think that it should be said again and again. It's not right for big corporations to exploit independant artists.
