So apparently my search fu sucks donkey you-know-whats. I just spent the last 2 hours on youtube and itunes trying to find a song that is currently being used on a Stanley Cup playoff commercial. It’s a guy singing and the lyrics are something about heros, blah, blah, blah and the chorus is something like “it’s time to rise up, open your eyes up” blah, blah, blah. I might be able to vague that up a little more if I tried but that should suffice. I think it may have also been used for one of the end-of-day medleys during the 2010 Olympics (but no, it’s not the Green River Ordinance “Rise Up”). Anyone? Anyone? ---
