Name that retro modern Target ad tune?

What is that song in the recent Target commerical *not the dorm one*?

There is a Target commercial I have seen a few times over the past couple of months. I have to admit I tend to listen more than watch TV, so I don't know a ton about the visuals. I think it was showing modern vintage-style home items, and the commerical was very stylized.

The song has a smooth, more produced Dandy Warhols-type sound. Some of the lyrics include something like, "We've got the whole world comin' together," and "We're freeeee to..."

I've Googled, checked Target's website, and YouTube, and all I can find out about is that commercial with the dorm girls, and some Jonas Brothers Target ad.

Does anyone know what song this is?

Have you checked the forums on adtunes.com? Target has some extremely popular ad music that gets discussed over there.

I'm going to suggest that you're looking for "Brand New Day" by Tim Myers, but so many of Target's ads have that indiepop sound that it's hard to tell what you're looking for.

Dave from the band Stereovision (or so he claimed :) posted in that thread -- let him know you like his song. It's always interesting when these artists with music in commercials find there way to communities discussing their music.
