What Is The Name Of The Song In The Lloyds Tsb(?) Advert?
31 Answers
My memory is foggy and I cannot remember if the song was used on a TSB advert but I'm sticking to gut instinct. The song was sung by a woman and I remember a horse running across and/or rain. Sorry for the limited details but remembering this song is doing my head in!

Going by the lyrics you posted, I reckon there's a good chance it's probably (a version of) this: "What Can I Do?" by The Corrs.

Well, I'm starting to doubt it was a Lloyds ad now...but there are so many others out there! I think the song came from the 90s/early 00s maybe, I've tried searching up the words to this song, can't remember the lyrics correctly.
I believe the song's chorus went something like "How do I know you still love me? *backing singers* How do I know you still care? *backing singers*" and then had 2 more lines in it.
Sorry for the confusion so far.

This features Saint Etienne singer Sarah Cracknell on vocals. She also wrote the lyrics for the track. Dance music DJ and producer Mark Brown, is also one half of M.Y.N.C Project and the head of Cr2 Records.
This extensively samples from the operatic "Eliza's Aria" part of the "Wild Swans" suite by Australian composer Elena Kats Chernin (b1957). The version used in "The Journey Continues" is by soprano Jane Sheldon, which was used in some Lloyds TSB bank adverts in the UK. Cracknall told the Daily Mirror February 1, 2008: "Mark was a fan of Saint Etienne so he thought of me. He played me his track and I'd heard the original piece from the commercial. I really liked the ad, even though I thought it was for trains! Doing the track came really easily for me. Writing the words was very spontaneous and organic."
Eliza's Aria
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eliza's Aria is a classical aria from the ballet Wild Swans, composed by Elena Kats-Chernin. The piece was first recorded by soprano Jane Sheldon and the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra, and released on the ABC Classics label.
This recording was subsequently used in a series of television and cinema advertisements for British bank Lloyds TSB under the tagline "For the journey", launched in January 2007. The adverts were created by agency Rainey Kelly Campbell Roalfe Y&R, and feature animations by Studio AKA. They follow the fortunes of a couple who meet on a futuristic-looking train, called The Black Horse, after Lloyds' logo, through to their retirement. Following the initial minute-long advert, further 30-second instalments were aired, each advertising a different financial product. The touching animations combined with Kats-Chernin's music caught the public's imagination, and brought the music to attention in the United Kingdom and further afield.
It began to receive radio airplay in December 2007. In April 2010, research undertaken by PRS for Music revealed that the song, featured in the adverts for Lloyds TSB, is the third most performed in UK television advertising.[1]

In December 2007, BBC radio began playing "The Journey Continues" by Mark Brown featuring Sarah Cracknell. The song consists of extensive samples from a composition by Elena Kats-Chernin entitled Eliza's Aria, well known to UK TV viewers as the music from the computer-animated 'For the Journey' commercials for Lloyds TSB bank. The single was released on February 2008 on Positiva. The song peaked at #11 in the UK after being released.
