I understand your tingly sentiments.

This phrase could pleasantly mirror my sentiments with this forgotten yet newly-recalled commercial by De Beers; only difference is the supplantation of the hero in the advertisement.



What's better, and it does get better, is that the commercial has a history and analysis of the composition, courtesy of an interesting new site I happened upon called splendAd.com
