On November 25, 2008, the Deluxe Edition released as a two-disc package featuring nine bonus tracks on the second disc. ==Release== Track 6 of the album, "Sealion" is an adaptation of a song by singer Nina Simone (''Broadway-Blues-Ballads'', 1964). The original title was "See Line Woman" (a reference to sealions was never intended), and refers to the life of an upper class prostitute. Confirmed singles include "My Moon My Man", "1234", "I Feel It All" and "Honey Honey". The "My Moon My Man" single includes a remix by German electronic musician Boys Noize. Videos were directed by Patrick Daughters, who also directed the video for "Mushaboom". During September 2007, the song "1234" was featured in Apple's television advertisement for the third generation iPod nano. The advert caused a sudden increase in the song's popularity, which resulted in a surge in the song's chart position. It reached number 8 in the UK Singles Chart on October 7 and number 8 in the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 for the week ending October 13. The music video was shot in a single unbroken take after two days of rehearsals.〔The album achieved considerable success around the world, selling 1.2 million copies worldwide and being certified Gold in the United States, Austria and France and Double Platinum in Canada. 〕 ''Time'' magazine named "1234" one of The 10 Best Songs of 2007, ranking it at #2. The song was written by Australian artist Sally Seltmann (aka New Buffalo). Writer Josh Tyrangiel called the song a “masterpiece”, praising Feist for singing it “with a mixture of wisdom and exuberance that's all her own."〔Tyrangiel, Josh; "The Best Top 10 Lists of the Year"; "The 10 Best Songs"; ''Time'' magazine; December 24, 2007; Page 39.〕 eBay also used the song in Australian advertisements. Another single, "My Moon My Man" was used in a Verizon Wireless commercial. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Reminder」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
