Starts off with strings and some sort of light percussion (piano perhaps, it doesn’t sound like drums, maybe a keyboard?).
and then a guitar comes in (acoustic) strumming.
if anyone uses Hulu, it’s the advertisement shown on Hulu, maybe it’s shown elsewhere too.

Can you find a direct link to the ad?

i don’t know if it’ll work, because the ads are chosen at random, so even if I give the link for the video it might not have the same ads as when i watched it.
oh well, it’s worth a shot i suppose.

This song was driving me crazy – seems so familiar! I think its a song played in the movie “Love Actually.” The song is the “Portuguese Love Theme” by Craig Armstrong. Try the youtube link below, about a minute through I think its the same segment.

that was really nice, but i don’t think it’s it.
i mean, if it’s the same then the version from the movie is much slower and and softer, without any guitar, and heavy on the piano and not violins.
i have a bad ear for stuff like that, different arrangements, etc.
but i don’t think it’s it, no.
