Last summer they played a commercial for the Canadian Army. It started out only in the theatres, but then I saw it on TV. They’re showing it again in the theatres, and I remember how much I love that song.

My problem is I love that song, but they only give you a short clip of it. I would like to hear the song all the way through and have it so that I can listen to it whenever I want.

All I need to know is the name of the song, and the band that played it would help.

To make it clearer of what I’m talking about:  
It has pictures of people being in the army. The camera whooshes by them. The narrator is talking about how it’s a challenge to be in the army. I hope that’s clear. No? Sorry, it’s the best I can do.

I’ll apreciate any help.

Do you remember any of the words? Since most people probably haven’t seen the commerical, its descriptipn isn’t that helpful.

There were no words to the song, and I can’t remember exactly what the narrator was saying. Next time I go to the movies I’ll try to remember what’s being said.

I think the commercial is pretty widespread, all over Canada, but I don’t think many people do know what I’m talking about. I just thought it was worth a shot.
