Hi,
There’s a new Pontiac commercial running, I forget for what model car. But the announcer finishes the commerical off by saying something like “theres beauty in it’s dark side” -something along those lines…
There’s a very unique bell/ beat (Asian sounding) and a brief snipet of an English/Brit sounding fella singing, then back to the “bells” where the commercial closes with the previously mentioned announcer bit.
Anybody have a title for this song?.. I think it’s the Asian music elements that get me, like when I heard Prodigy’s Mindfield’s on some VH1 model show; I just had to find that one… Any help is greatly appreciated…
Apparently Pontiac has consistently decent music since my Googling yielded many out-dated requests for music from this car-maker

I think you’re describing the commercial that uses “A Day Like Today,” sung by Tom McRae. You can listen to a clip [here](http://www.pontiac.com/music/music.jsp) (it’s Video 01).
