Do any of you know the song used in the Nokia cinema adverts where they are showing off the media phones?

Its also used in the current sky movies advert

It's by Moby but I can't remember the name.

Pretty sure its on the Play or 18 album.

It sounds like 'Porcelain' but, to agree with dezzo, it's definitely on Play :)

Nope, it's not Porcelain, I'm sure it's off 18 :) Can't say which though...

Now if it wasn't a Bank Holiday in Scotland today I'd not have driven to work and I'd have my iPod with me so I could check.

As it is you'll need to wait unless someone else has them both to hand :)

Doesn't help that I can't remember what the song sounds like ;) (although I was wondering the same thing the other day).

We'll have to agree to disagree, 'cos I'm sure it's off Play :D

If it is the one that's being used by Sky Movies (voiced by Patrick Stewart "build it and they will come") it is definately Moby and I think that it is on 18 I'm sure. If I was at home, I could find out straight away :) Damn

I've got 18 and Play on Itunes right now - can I help? Does it have lyrics?

Thats the one. Its definately on one of those two and I'm being swayed towards 18 the more I think about it.

If no-one else has done it I'll check tonight when I get in from work.

It's a sampled vocal, I think the "breaking my heart" is in it, but I am not sure.

I'm the line "In my arms" is repeated thoughout it.

I would check the clips on Amazon but that is blocked by the work firewall :mad:

The problem is that I'm not convinced it's the actual Moby track - I think it's a cover, being sung by a woman :shrug:

And no, I can't remember the lyrics either ;) :p:

I think it's In My Heart - I've seen the advert once and this seems familiar but it's not sung by a woman :shrug:

Does it open with a piano-y bit?

I'm sure that I remember it from 18. He sampled a load of songs for Play and 18 from gospel (or similar style) tracks from the early 20th century.

I guessed it would be on 18 as all the Play tracks have been pimped to death.

"In my heart" it is then.

The rep button is below and to the left :D :Sprint:

I think you could be right - as I said, it sounds like it's sung by a woman, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it is :)

Anyway, looks like the ears are going now, along with the hair, eyes and knees :D
