Anyone know what the music was that Channel 4 played the captions today?

while on the subject, does anyone know the name of the music they play in the back ground during big race parades on ch4?
i thought i read somewhere its from the film mystic river but have scaned through the soundtrack album on hmv and its not on there.
id love to know as would like to use it at my wedding this year

The song played in the background for big race parades is done by Moby and it’s called ‘Everloving’. It’s off Moby’s album ‘Play’.

Moby – Everloving[/url:15o9fraw]

[Black Sam Bellamy]

The music behind the captions was La Ritournelle by Sebastien Tellier.

Sorry, but that wasn’t it. Don’t want to turn this into a music show but the piece I was referring to sounded like a very much softer, slowed down version of the second half of this:-

Two tunes very commonly used by Channel 4 are:

Moby Everlong – Its association with fims and horseracing is through the film "Sea Biscuit" as it is the tune used when seas biscuit does his first romp.

Thirteen Senses – Into the fire – they always play this tune in the background on channel 4 racing

Sigur Ros – Hoppilpolla – Another which Im sure I have also heard played on channel four, although it comes up a lot in sports music overs, it is a brilliant tune.

Think I may have heard Arcade Fire – Wake Up on there too.

Dont know if it was one of these

They also play "The Staunton Lick" by Lemon Jelly as background music a lot.

ironic really that ch4 use the moby track on the race parade, he being a big ambassador for PETA.

the Moby music makes me sad because it always associate it with Gloria Victis….must admit [but don’t tell anyone] to liking the Christine Aguillera [?] song that they use sometimes

[graysonscolumn]

I know that the Order of Merit music played on-course is "Saltwater" by Chicane ft Maire Brennan – I texted it to Five Live after they’d professed ignorance of the track, but I don’t know if it got read on air (I’d got out of the car and squelched onto Hexham’s hallowed turf by then).

Thanks to all those have suggested tracks but it isn’t any of those – it is a slow instrumental piece. I suppose all I can do is confirm if it is featured again. At least it gave me a excuse to listen to some ‘new’ music.

[Gazs Way De Solzen]

What is the starting music played in the intro, does anyone know that one? ? ?

Thanks.

[PAULCS]

I know what you mean Stilvi, don’t know who it was but it was a slow acoustic piece, Ronnie Wood-esque.

Hope they keep the Chicane song for the OoM races for many years to come because it really adds to the atmosphere/anticipation before the big races.

Typically it isn’t played at Ascot!

Very late reply to this thread. However, I know the very music you mean, it’s the intro to ‘You’ve Got Me Thinking’ by The Beloved, looped over and over again. It’s on their album Conscience and also on their Single File album. Sadly Channel 4 Racing don’t use it any more. Nice track.
