Prettiest Commercial Ever?

I know it's ancient by web standards - it's been over a year since Jose Gonzalez sang "Heartbeats" as a sonic backdrop to hundreds of thousands of superballs being released down a San Francisco street for a Bravia commercial. However, I still love both the image and the song.

Ah, but not ancient to those of us that witnessed it for the first time now on your blog.
I must say, I'm a bit speechless.
That was wonderful!

A beautiful song, and darn it all, why do thousands of bouncing superballs feel so nostalgic and lovely?

I think it's because of the slow motion--it makes the balls seem more like bubbles - you see as many rising as you do falling.

Also, this made me laugh:

It's a video capture from an online war game where all the players got together to recreate this commercial.

Thanks!
