what is the song playing during the commercial??


When the commercial for this movie comes on USA, what is the song playing in the background? It sounds familiar and it has been killing me for days. It sounds like violins. I think I've heard it from another movie's soundtrack, possibly a horror or thriller. Any ideas???

Its called "Lux Aeterna"...its originally from the movie "Requiem for a Dream".

^^^ Yup.

Very popular song, been in tons of things.

Good call... I was wondering the same thing myself.
Kind of haunting...

I wonder how the movie will be?

I was actually about to ask the same question except I knew it was from Requiem For a Dream. However does anyone know the name of the song that a similar tone is used in its like a rap song possibly by lil jon? I heard it awhile ago but didn't get the name.

The Lil Jon song is called "Throw is up" with Pastory Troy.

AH!! "Lux Aeterna"
!!
I knew it sounded familiar (Requiem), but I've been trying to figure out what it was since I heard it used for some of the LOTR: ROTK related stuff (video games, tv spots, etc).

Was wondering why it wasn't in Howard Shores score!

Thanks! Just dloaded off iTunes.
