Night Driving by Golf Ad. Under Milkwood by Dylan Thomas is narrated by Richard Burton. I found out more at www.night-driving.com says it was shot by Noam Murro in LA.

  • musicalprofessor says:

    Try Dylan Thomas, Under Milk Wood. This is a Richard Burton recital of Thomas’s poem.

  • WoodlandAsh says:

    I love Under Milkwood and I love Solaris. So using them both in this advert is just amazing.
    So beautiful and surreal.

    Oh, and yes. I’ve got a mk5 Golf too :)

    Dependes What you see as poetry?

    you being a 19 year old scrote from a tennament in Glasgow who wears sports clothes, spits on the floor all the time and says “Brah” or “by the way” after every garbled sentence containing more swear words than ordinary words is hardly poetry either is it?

  • NaeJoy says:

    You just completely stereotyped me and my city.

    Proves that you’re a low-lifed maggot.

  • Gsixtyboy says:

    much like the stereo typing of what you see as poetry?
    AND your foul language you used to express your view, and your complete lack of ability to respond to a challenge in an interlectual way tells me im right about you, you shit kicker catholic

  • NaeJoy says:

    You’re English. Everyone hates you and talks behind your backs and your accents are horrible.

    Oh, and i’m an athiest, so don’t even go into religious bollocks. Go back to your self indulgent wankpit you prick.

  • NaeJoy says:

    I’d also like to point out that your spelling and grammar is absolutely appalling, and that you should be ashamed of calling me “a 19 year old scrote” considering everything i’ve said is more educated than what you’ve said.

    Get a life you fucking moron.

  • imp0cat says:

    Guys, guys, enough! When was the last time you just went for a drive? Perhaps you should go now to clear your mind.

  • bigfra79 says:

    imp0cat, I can see where you are coming from,
    however,
    Gsixtyboy, are you from Scotland?
    More importantly, are you Glasweigan?
    If you are, you really should know better than to bring that type of comment into a global forum where religion does not matter.
    If you are not Scottish, you have just specifically singled yourself out as someone who has ideas way above your station!
    Basically, you seem to be all mouth and no trousers.
    Get my point, ‘Brah’?

    Silly little boy that you are.

  • TomCat2800 says:

    So now we’re attacking religious people why?

  • NaeJoy says:

    Explain when I attacked a religious person please?

  • fashionhippie says:

    After reading some of these comments, does anyone have anything to say about the commercial. Cuz it’s kinda cool if you think about it. Just saying…

  • BrassVaz says:

    Sublime

  • yokumato says:

    A great example of how an ad can succesfully combine different art forms (poetry, music, film) in a coherent whole. I thought that the combination of the Cliff Martinez music and Burton’s declamation of Dylan Thomas was very impressive. Now the only thing left is to go for a drive at 3 am.

  • Ardinx says:

    Please!! someone write me the words of this beautiful ad!!!

  • fryfry says:

    Im begging of the public to help me find this track. The background music & the poetry. Absolutely brilliant, but can not be found for the life of me…

  • Schmeeky455 says:

    That is incredibly atmospheric; a piece of art in its own right.

  • nicez31 says:

    Try the BBC website for the poem

  • ProjectFlashlight612 says:

    Best. Advert. Ever.

  • DJKoooooo says:

    And all the people of the lulled and dumbfound town are sleeping now.

    Hush, the babies are sleeping, the farmers, the fishers, the tradesmen and pensioners, cobbler, schoolteacher, postman and publican, the undertaker and the fancy woman, drunkard, dressmaker, preacher, policeman, the webfoot cocklewomen and the tidy wives. Young girls lie bedded soft or glide in their dreams, with rings and trousseaux, bridesmaided by glow-worms down the aisles of the organplaying wood.

  • Ardinx says:

    Thaks so much!!!
    You are very kind!!!

  • deefromott says:

    i didn’t think the music was the suitable. it was used in solaris where another dylan thomas poem is recited, and they obviously paralleled that.

    not that creative considering.

  • SobeDragon7 says:

    Music is by Cliff Martinez. They transposed his song, “Don’t Blow It” from the album, “Solaris”

    The poetry is “Under Milkwood” by Dylan Thomas and is narrated by Richard Burton. This can be found in the video description.
