What's the one they play when they're doing the 3D google map style fly over to the venues?

Continuing on, two of the other songs used are Lianne La Havas' 'Is Your Love Big Enough?' and 'Living Dead' by Marina & the Diamonds. What I want to know is, what is the name of the song featured here at 58.27? http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01lvkwm/Olympics_London_2012_BBC_Two_Day_10_18.0019.00/

Hi everybody, I loved the BBC olympic coverage, but I am desperate to find the name of a song.

It is a slow tune, background music with no words that they showed several times when they were showing stats and before crossing to ad's. They only played a part of the song.

If you could tell me the name it would make my day.

Thanks heaps,
Andrew

I know this is months too late!

I think it might be 'Blind Faith' by Chase and Status.

This has been doing my head in since the Olympics!!

I know this is about six months late, but I think I've been looking for the same song as you for the last year, and every time I searched I ended up here. If you ever come back, the song I was looking for was Public Enemy - Harder Than You Think. Hope that helps!

Hi, there is a piece of music from a Torbay based band called these reigning days, the track is called opera of love. You should check them out they are very good. Saw them support Bon jovi at the San siro in Milan

Just found it on Shazam. It's by Netsky and it's called "Rio Remix" (feat. Macklemore & Digital Farm Animals) [Remix]

Im adding to the confusion here I know but theres a song that's none of the above, pretty synthy, has a guy spitting just a few words over the track that are like 'you really want it get to get on floor' or something, then theres a bridge that's someone singing 'OOOOOOh' then a syth 'do do do dah dah dah da dah'.

I feel stupid even typing that.

Any ideas at all?? I think its a recent release.
