Pam Thomas directed this spot via Community Films which depicts the love of a T-shirt for what it means–first obtained by a young man when he has it thrown to him by a rock ‘n roll performer from a concert stage. Later, we see his girlfriend touching that shirt which prompts him to take it off for a romantic interlude.
Further down the road, that same gal is now a wife and expectant mother who pulls that same shirt out of the clothes dryer and nuzzles up to it, underscoring her affection for what it represents to her.
Years later, dad is laying on the couch, wearing that shirt, with his young daughter sleeping on him. And finally we see an older girl running about the house wearing and hanging out in what for her is the oversized, comfy shirt.
This progression through the years is set to a cover of Alphaville’s “Forever Young” by Pulse.
Downy keeps shirts like this like new–staying forever young, reminding us of and continuing to create sweet moments.

He cut an elegant figure late in life, with a wry sense of humor and a ferocious work habit. In 2015, he arrived at rehearsals for a Broadway run of "The Gin Game" having already memorized the play and with notebooks filled with comments from the creative team. He said he was always in service of the work.
"The need to storytell has always been with us," he told The Associated Press then. "I think it first happened around campfires when the man came home and told his family he got the bear, the bear didn't get him."
Jones created such memorable film roles as the reclusive writer coaxed back into the spotlight in "Field of Dreams," the boxer Jack Johnson in the stage and screen hit "The Great White Hope," the writer Alex Haley in "Roots: The Next Generation" and a South African minister in "Cry, the Beloved Country."
He was also a sought-after voice actor, expressing the villainy of Darth Vader ("No, I am your father," commonly misremembered as "Luke, I am your father"), as... Read More
