Assassins Creed Advert Song?

slylittlefox · 25 Dec 2007 at 21:05

Bit of a wierd question: anybody know the title/artist of the song featured on the Assassins Creed advert, the one that gets shown on TV in the UK (and also on trailers shown on the famous Jersey retailers website)?

I've had a scout online and people are saying it's Teardrop by Massive Attack, which it blatantly isn't, even though I stupidly downloaded it to make sure. So obviously there are different tracks used in different versions of the song (as can be seen on YouTube..) - the one I'm on about features orchestral music in the background and the lyrics feature lines such as "God knows your lonely soul", and "I'm gonna die in a place that don't know ma' naaaame"

Everytime I watch the advert the song gets stuck in my head and I wanna listen to it in its entirety to rid myself of this demon

TIA

I'm pretty sure it is Teardrop by Massive Attack.

The Unkle Track 'Lonely Soul' is the one with the Richard Ashcroft vocals if it helps...

I've been listening to a lot of Unkle, Crystal Method and Rob Dougan recently. Great stuff

Adverts pre-release tended to advertise the game on the 360 with the soundtrack Lonely Soul by UNKLE.

Adverts post-release now appear to advertise the game for Playstation 3 with the soundtrack Teardrop by Massive Attack.

In either case, the music fits perfectly with the video footage of the game.

If your talking about the instrumental one i think it was made in-house as i couldnt find it

I believe it is by Jesper Kyd who is a pretty famous musician (did games like hitman, kane and lynch)

Specially made for AC

R.Ashcroft = British legend. One of my favourite all time singers. Great track too.
