O comercial é do começo do ano e, se já era de arrepiar na época, agora ganha novo contexto e uma emoção ainda maior. A trilha é a bela “The Last Goodbye” do The Kills, uma escolha perfeita pelo clima e pela referência à aposentadoria anunciada por Michael Phelps e, felizmente, não cumprida.
Bom, agora tem esse bônus: a reação de Michael Phelps e sua (então) noiva quando assistiram o comercial pela primeira vez.

“I think being able now just to not be afraid and to understand everything what I’m doing and to understand that I can’t do it alone. I think that commercial – I mean you saw lots were in tears – that commercial shows a lot of amazing things about me the problem world’s never seen – you know when I said on the gel back interview was like the world is going to see the real Michael felt … and that’s what I am excited for”
“The Last Goodbye”
It’s the last goodbye I swear
I can’t rely on a dime a day love that don’t go anywhere
I learn to cry for someone else
I can’t get by on an odds and ends love that don’t ever match up
I heard all you said and I took it to heart
I won’t forget I swear
I have no regrets for the past is behind me
Tomorrow reminds me just where
Can’t quite see the end
How can I rely on my heart if I break it with my own two hands?
I heard all you said and I love you to death
I heard all you said don’t say anything
It’s the last goodbye I swear
I can’t survive on a half-hearted love that will never be whole
