Travelers

Information / Credits

On behalf of advertising agency Fallon, editorial company Rock Paper Scissors and VFX boutique a52, it's my sincere pleasure to share this new spot for Travelers with you. Entitled "Drifters," it debuts today in high-profile broadcast and cable outlets as both a :60 and a :30. In the latest spot in the celebrated Travelers Insurance campaign, joining Rupert Sanders' Emmy nominated "Delivery" and Daniel Kleinman's charming bone-obsessed dog in "Prized Possession," comes "Drifters." Directed by Frank Budgen, the story unfolds in the skies above America, as we see thousands of small red umbrellas elegantly floating above. As we hear "Worries" from the incomparable folk star Langhorne Slim, we watch as the hypnotic flotilla moves from the ocean, over the countryside and, finally, into the skyscraper-filled canyons of a city where they gently drift down to protect a home, a car and a business. Worries Lyrics; If you got worries, then youre like me. Dont worry now, I wont hurt you. And, if you got worries, then youre like me. Dont worry now, I wont desert you. If you get a chance, you put your dancing shoes on. The countrys calling, and thats where Im going. Dont know if youre in my way, but, Ill take you along. Ill take you along. Maybe blue eyes are more of my style, I dont know, but Im willing to try. And, maybe Im dumb for making you smile, I dont know, but I will in a while. We passed a graveyard and held our breath, We better kiss if were getting closer to death. I dont wanna miss ya, I know its all in our heads, She says Its all in our heads.
