Halls of the Dark Muse

Some 2 or 3 years ago I heard this song playing in the theater before the movie started and it was an older song, and one I had not heard in a long time, and I recognized the sound of it, but had no idea what it was called or who sang it and I wanted to find out what the song was but by the time the movie was over I could not really remember enough of the lyrics to look it up.

I tried posting in a few different places asking if other people might know giving what very vague and little information I could based upon what I could remember of the song, and it was not a song I was likely to hear again any time soon, as it was only a fluke that I heard it on that occasion.

But nonetheless in spite of my efforts and the efforts of others nothing came up, and for the longest time it drove me crazy but eventually I could only accept the fact that the song was lost, and the odds of uncovering it not very likely.

All of the sudden today in a car commercial I heard this song play, and though they didn't actually play any of the lyrics, I recognized the sound of it, because it was pretty distinct, and was like OMG could that be my song?

At first I was totally freaking out because without the lyrics of the song there would still be no way for me to track it down and at the beginning of the commercial I could not even tell what it was a commercial for, but then finally at the end of the commercial it was for some car.

One of the most useful things about google for me, is the fact that you can pretty much find the name of any song from any commercial or TV show, so I just googled "song from Jetta California commercial" and I finally found after all this time my missing song.
