JC Penney Valentine’s commercial – Cupid’s Arrow

Since I saw the “Way to Your Heart” JC Penney commercial during the recent Lost episode I have been searching all over for a video of it so I could track down the song. This is the commercial with a guy walking in a town and cupid’s arrows are striking people all around him. The catchy song on it is “Way to Your Heart” by Persephone’s Bees. The lyrics to this song are:

    In the morning when I wake up
    I think about how I can get you
    tonight, tonight

    in the morning when I wake up
    I think about how I can get to your heart
    into your heart

    I am starving, I feel empty
    my life’s a boredom
    without you for me my knight
    stay here tonight

    hey
    show me the way to your heart
    way to your heart
    way to your heart

    I will love you
    I’ll adore you
    so show me how I can find
    the way to your heart
    tonight

    hey, show me the way to your heart
    way to your heart
    way to your heart
    way to your heart

Persephone’s Bees are a band from San Francisco fronted by a russian immigrant, Angelina Moysov. They have a unique style and sound for a rock band. You can listen to some of their songs on their myspace site and buy their music on iTunes and Amazon.

Here is the commercial with all the arrows flying.
