Like many others, I am a big fan of Sarah Khider's song - Mermaid for commercial from Chivas.
Because of the song, the Chivas' commercial became my best TV commercial. Every time when the commercial shows, I just stop switching channels until I complete listening to the 30 seconds commercial.
The Chivas Regal's commercial is shown frequently. There is big ad in the People's Square Station of Metro Line #1 and #2. I don't drink wine, or whisky. I just love the song and the lifestyle Chivas painted.
How about other countries? Does Chivas use the same song as commercial in other countries, or just China?
P.S. This is maybe the first time I ever posted lyrics, or song in my blog...
CHIVAS “ ALASKA ”
Chorus:
We could be together
Everyday together
We could sit forever
As loving waves spill over
Verse:
The moon is fully risen
And shines over the sea
As you glide in my vision
The time is standing still
Don’t shy away too long
This is a boundless dream
Come close to me my reason
I’ll take you in my wings
Chorus:
We could be together
Everyday Forever
We belong together
Further seas and over
Verse:
In the garden of the sea
I see you looking over
With my wistful melody
You leap into the water
It is no breaths sighing
This is the mermaid song
The singing of my sisters
The sea has drown for long

good song!
I love it too, anyway the wine is also marvellous with green tea!
Hey, Jianshuo, actually it's you who set me to have my own English blog. You have always been a fine example to me. You have certainly done a terrific job writing so many wonderful blogs here. I have just had a meagre start, so I may need moral support from guys like you. I can't claim to be a better English blogger than you, but it's not bad really. So please come and click away at http://blog.sina.com.cn/u/1253371983. It could worth your valuable time sometimes.

Come on, that's not wine but whiskey! The way you drink is harmful to your stomach, though it is popular in China. Actually, I think it's kind of profanity to the whiskey culture.

Posted by: Jaime on September 23, 2006 3:55 AMHey,
Good song indeed...It is supposed Chivas will enhance your nights...
In fact, I live in France and drinks or tobacco companies are forbidden to use TV to advertise their products, it would be so nice if one of you give any link to enjoy the commercial.
Thks in advance.
A très vite à Paris.

Posted by: sarah khider on September 30, 2006 9:52 PMHi there Mr. Jian Shuo Wang! That Chivas' TV ad is shown here in the Philippines every late night. When I first heard it, I was quickly compelled to look for an audio MP3 (of course with lyrics too so I could sing along with the former) on the internet. Thank God I found one. And as I was surfing the net, I also happened to come across with your blog. By the way, this blog of yours is nice! ~~~Holler to all Chinese and Filipino-Chinese~~~
in the brazil the song is the same to the comercial.
i love it too.

Great song , greate lyrics. Thanks Jian for your contibution to find the song easily. In Greece is the same song as Thanos mentioned before. Must be the same commercial all over the world. I am amazed that so many people like me, loved the song and looked for it online! Cheers...
Posted by: Nikos on November 10, 2006 3:21 AMDear Wangjianshuo,
here in Brazil we have the same commercial as you do in China, but it´s only shown on payed TV. And I also love the Chivas life, though I don´t drink any kind of alcoholic beverage. Down on Chivas´ site you can find a whole bunch of items related to the lifestyle the company advertises. There are wallpapers, info, news, etc. It´s the occidental post-modern man approach to life. It´s cool, like George Clooney, the Mermaid Song, Porsches, Frank Sinatra, Polo, Paris, Black... It´s the place where us all, citizens of the world can share experiences.
We could be, together...
Tata
Hi,
We hear this song here in Brazil too.
Would you mind in sharing this lovely song? I could receive it through above mentioned address.
Regards,
LAB
