At the Matador Records page for Cat Power, there's a message from 11/29/06 that says:
And yes, that is Chan you hear singing the Cat Stevens song "How Can I Tell You" in the new DeBeers ad. No plans to release it as far as we know, so quit asking.
Lyrics used in the commercial
How can I tell you that I love you
I love you
I long to tell you
That I'm always thinking of you
I'm always thinking of you
But I can't think of right words to say

thanks this is an awesome song, i need to know cause im gonna do it for my girl
man she should deffinatly release this song, she does it so well.
I love this song and commercial I am going to send this to my husband so he can surprise me like this when he gets home from Korea. He knows I love diamonds.
She should definately release this song.. I have searched all over just to find out who sang it. She sounds so good.
I've been searching for quite a while to find out who sings this song. -Her voice is beautiful. It's been driving me crazy trying to find this info. Thanks.
Lovely, truely classy,romantic! Goes right to the heart of why a gem is given! LOVE the Dusty Springfeild tune. Oh,Lord, that gets me every time. Thank You. Your ad people must be amazing!!
man this need to be played at as a wedding song
I cant get her voice out of my head! It absolutely beautiful...
evidently people were asking when will the song be released because they like the people at matador records didnt have 2 be so rude
i never heard any thing so beautiful it just put a smile on my face and she should realse her version its may and i still love hearing it
i really like this song. i mean it gets me through the day. whenever i clean house, i just listen to it over and over, even though it only last like 2 seconds. its a gorgeous song
WOW!! that's all i can say....WOW
I've been looking everywhere for her version, i finally found this and now i know, she should def. come out with her version of it
I'm about to get married and my fiance stops everything she's doing when this snippet of a song plays EVERYTIME! That's the power of a real love song. As a former record company exec, Matador needs to get off their butts and make this happen. Cat Power would not be discussed on the internet if it wasn't for this commercial. Make it happen, Cat!
PLEASE,PLEASE,PLEASE realese your version Cat!!!!!!
love this song. wish i could get the whole version in it.
so theres no way i can burn this song...
What a beautiful version of this song! If it were on iTunes right now I would have already bought it.
No matter what I am doing whenever the song plays I have to sit down and listen to it, then I am glued to the screen hoping and praying I would catch the commercial again. When I stumbled on here I jumped for joy! I downloaded the original and was soooo disappointed, sorry to say. I love Chan's voice in her version, she brings the words to life... Please have her release her song- she'd make mad millions off of ONE HITT!!!
i need this song , i have looked everywhere,please release this hit, her voice sounds like the voice of an angel ,every note is perfect pitch,
this song makes my nuts tingle
TDubb, go get a job and buy your own diamonds. biotch!
This song is so beautiful! I'm upset to read that it hasn't been released! Neeeeeeed it! =[
This Would Make the number one wedding song for a long time I am working on a mix. to exstend the song but it will take some time . I will let you all know when it's all done

are they planning to release the Cat Power version? Beautiful.
I also downloaded the original and was so disappointed!
Finally, Ms. Marshall gets some love!
a song has never touched my soul so deeply with so few words. Please release it so the world can enjoy it as much as we all do!
Matador Records - you don't have to be such an ass with the whole quit asking comment. People LOVE this song and you should take that as a complement...maybe even consider releasing it. Obviously it would sell VERY well with this much interest.
Finally! I've been wondering what the name/artist of the song was!
Release the song PULEAZE!!!!
I listened to some of her other stuff (Cat Power) and this song was truly my favorite ... she needs to get together with Matador and release this song. I am also a fan of the Original song by Cat Stevens, but its always refreshing to hear old songs with a new twist and sound. So get with it CAT POWER and RELEASE this song for all of your new fans :)
does anyone know what Ad Agency is responsible for this Ad?
and who is that man in the commercial?
This version is great. Cat S version suqs even tho he wrote it.
yeah this song she only sang 30 seconds of it for the company, nd never planned to release...its all on the diamond site. pretty lame. song is great,voice is fantastic and yet she never sang the rest....how moronic..
This song has great vocals and great lyrics. Please release the single.
