Yes, that is my song "The Only Thing" in that new "Sun Chips" commercial!
...and, YES, it is a different version from the one that is on the "Sunshyness" CD!
(You have very good ears!)
I like to call that version: "The Only Other Thing"
"The Only Thing" is one of those songs that is a lot of fun to totally change around
and play it in completely different ways in our live shows.
I hope you like this version as much as I do!

In addition to the nine different iPhone commercials that used our music, there have been a bunch of other ads around the world that have been using different Orba Squara songs. I know some of you are already aware of this because I have gotten many wonderful emails form you letting me know you have been hearing us on TV!
Well, for those of you who have not seen the other commercials featuring our music, I thought I'd put them up here for everyone to check out! I hope you enjoy them!

I wrote a song for a new movie! The movie is called "Wedding Daze" and the song is called "Brand New Day" [click the pic to watch the trailer]
It will also be included on the soundtrack album for the film. I am going to try to put a preview of the song in the Myspace music player as soon as I can.
By the way, it is a very funny movie that is really worth seeing.

Sometimes you just need to step back and simplify.
In a world where so much seems to be driven by flashiness and technology and where so many things can tend to feel out of your control, sometimes the solution is to go back to square-one, re-evaluate and reinvent.
Being "media babies" themselves, Orba Squara did just that. Trading in walls of synthesizers for a collection of organic instruments, Orba Squara uses an ear pointed toward the uncommon and directs it at what would typically be considered a "traditional" genre.
The result is a collection of songs that are undeniably catchy and universally accessable.
The lyrics dive into a breadth of emotions that range from sweetly innocent to deeply introspective to directly examining human nature. But they always have a sense of hopefulness and hang on to a positive thread. Even the sad songs make you come away with a smile.
Orba Squara takes on the difficult task of creating a collection of songs that sound timeless while at the same time are absolutely of today.
"There was really no choice but to make this record. I felt like the best way to push my music further was to bring it back to its base elements. In some sense, it feels like actually becoming the music yourself. I sat down to make one song as a sort of creatively therapeutic exercise and an entire album came out."
Each of these songs would feel equally at home on mainstream radio or included in an indie film soundtrack or as part of a homegrown mixtape for your love.
i first discovered you when i was looking through some of mysteryguitarman's videos and he had a direct linking going to your myspace page! your music is amazing! a lot of your songs sound like background music from a couple of commercials! is that so?
Very thanks for the add !!! I like listening to your musics. They are really magnificent!! Continue to make us vibrate !!! Good day and goodbye ! Sorry if my english level is not perfect but i'm just french ;-)
hey guys, no problem, like the songs. really nice sound last night in nyc. it seems to come out so full from nowhere, which is awesome. and anyone who can switch instruments in the middle of a song or play two at the same time is cool by me.
oh my gosh. i found your music video on another site and i about jumped throug the roof! its fantastic! i love it! and i wish i could make such BA videos like the ones in your fan section. seriously. awesome. take care!! im so excited to see new stuff!
Mate! Thanks for the comment! You're music is simply amazing... I'm thinking about making a music video for "Perfect Timing This Morning" with a friend of mine...
On that subject you guys should make some more official music videos!
Also I couldn't find the chords anywhere for "My favorite song" think you might be able to help me out with that?
