There are many questions that arise after watching this video for a product called Freia:
1. What is Freia? A candied tube of butter? Swiss Rolos? Bully-deterrent?
2. What is that lovely song playing in the background?
Oh my, we know the answer to this one! It’s The Free Design’s amazing song “Love You” and oh how it celebrates the love of this, er, candied Duralog.
Seriously, it’s a beautiful song, and a beautiful little commercial and we thought we’d share it with you.
Recently Sandy Dedrick of the legendary Free Design (obviously favs of ours) sat down with Red Bull Music Academy’s James Singleton (AKA James Pants) for a great in-depth interview about the history of The Free Design. Scroll down to the bottom for of the interview for a sweet audio bonus!
