A single, solitary floating leaf sets off a chain reaction of creativity in the commercial for the new Saab 9-5, which features the song 'New Way' by Ana Diaz. The single is currently available for purchase at most digital retailers.
As our hero, the leaf, skitters across an office filled with car designers, two piano lines, one bouncy and deep, one high and twinkling, mix with hand claps to form a jaunty musical soundtrack for the newly-inspired workers. The song's lyrics also focus on new beginnings:
"I've got secrets kept my own / A piano shooting arrows like a bow / And I've got stories for the road / I've got stories I can tell that you don't know / We'll light up the sky / With strangers and hearts / And I wanna go a new way."
There's not too much info about Ana on the web, in addition to her official Facebook page, in Swedish. But some fun tidbits: She's from Stockholm, studied as "a designer in the music and the arts" in Detroit until 2007, and returned to her home country to devote herself to music full-time (with 'New Way' the first of many new songs she plans to release).
