need help re REM ad. on BBC

[dexter]

I know this is Moz board but Stipe & Moz are pals so I'm sure you won't mind...
A month or so ago the BBC were running an advert ( for bbc 3 or some such) and it had Michael Stipe standing on stage on his own in an empty hall singing, what song was it? A friend of mine asked me, and I can't for the life of me pin it down... please help if you can!
