Dear lord, who is this lame little wuss that took Steve Winwood's "Higher Love" and butchered it into a slow sound whiney sh*t remake!!?

This guy really sounds like he has his jewels in a vice.

Also didn't Volvo already pull off a similar theme, the wife in space, dumba** failure of a husband on Earth.

Higher Love - James Vincent McMorrow (iTunes)

Yeah, that sucks!  And WTF is a Kona? LOL  I think the adholes are getting higher and maybe a little spaced out too.

Never saw any Volvo space-like ad.

One would wonder if the wife could get a citation for operating her iPhone while on 'company time' in space.

What's with the astronauts in ads lately? Now I'm just waiting for David Bowie's "Space Oddity" to be used!
One good thing about TV-you could always turn it off

Today's "singers" always try to do their own version of classic songs. Steve Winwood has a wonderful voice, even in his elder years. Trashing this song this way is typical....the music industry is dead.
I wish cool songs like this would not be used in adverts....it cheapens them.

More like space themed I guess. There were 4 total that aired.
The Hyundai ad tries to come off silly.

Cripes. The original wasn't even that great to begin with. I remember whenever the video was on MTV I'd walk out of the room and find something else to do till it was over. Ermm

I agree, Triple J.  I don't know what I did if the song came on MTV though, I'm just too old to remember.  LOL  I love Steve Winwood but this is not my favorite of his offerings.  My fave Steve Winwood vocals are in the songs "Dear Mr. Fantasy" (Traffic) and "Can't Find My Way Home" (Blind Faith).

From the eight track "Low spark of high heeled boys".  My cap stand in the eight track player ate the tape one below zero morning.  I agree on the Wus version of the song.  Who are the advertisers appealing to?
There's a sucker born every minute.

The singer is so awful, there was no way I was going to listen to the lyrics to find out it was somehow Higher Love.
