The honeymoon-themed new commercial for the Subaru Outback features prolific singer-songwriter M. Ward's tune 'Here Comes the Sun Again,' from his 2005 album 'Transistor Radio.'
The echoing piano and gently strummed acoustic guitars of the song are the perfect accompaniment for the back-road romantic misadventures the newly-married couple endure on the road.
You see, a giant bull and a sudden rainstorm try to ruin their plans, but their newfound love helps them conquer these obstacles with big smiles on their faces.
If that's already too lovey-dovey for you, well, then you're not gonna like the lyrics much either: "Kingdoms and queens they all bow down to you / Branches and ranch hands are bowin' too / And I've taken off my straw hat for you / Singing here comes the sun again."
Ward has been busy with a variety of musical projects lately. His most recent solo album, 'Hold Time,' came out in 2009, but he also appeared as a member of folk-rock supergroup Monsters of Folk on their 2009 album, and has released two records with actress Zooey Deschanel under the She & Him banner.
Check out the commercial below.

3. I agree,he does sound rather like Tim Hardin. I think AT&T has also used one of Ward's songs in an ad. It's great exposure for him.
How about the latest singer/songwriter, Ray le Montaine, on an ad. for Travellers Insurance. Yummy! I hope this trend continues.

1. Is it just me or are the words to the song which accompanies the honeymoon ad completely unintelligible? Until I read the lyrics here, I couldn't have guessed one single word of the song. It seems that the lyrics to more and more tunes these days are completely impossible to understand.
