Lyrics:
The Ancient Greeks had four words for love.
The first is philia.
Philia is affection that grows from friendship.
Next, there’s storge.
The kind you have for a grandparent or a brother.
“Come on, let’s go!”
Third, there’s eros.
The uncontrollable urge to say, “I love you.”
The fourth kind of love is different.
It’s the most admirable.
It’s called agape.
Love as an action.
That’s good. It takes courage.
Sacrifice.
Strength.
“You okay?”
For 175 years, we’ve been helping people act on their love.
So they can look back, or look ahead, and say…
We got it right. We did good.
Be good at life.
New York Life | 175 years

Same ad is done without the commentary. It’s just simple piano. It pops up on TV every now and then. I would have to have my cable company’s record feature ready at an instant to record it. Not sure how I could save it to a file without using a microphone which would drop the quality some. New York life is being really really selfish keeping it to themselves. They probably prevented Max Ritcher from releasing it himself in any form when they hired him to compose it. What a shame.
I completely agree with Jeff above from his Feb 2020 comment. I just spent some serious time researching out the musician/name of the tune. You can tell it has something~ “Agape” probably has a copyright to it with New York Life. (Hmmm…Someone “may” purposely end their business as a patron IF, they wanted the tune in their classical collection and was disappointed to not find it available.)
Evidently money is everything🤑and no wonder Max has music out there for free and asks the user to donate to a charity, instead of just pay for it. Noble gesture? Or hypocrisy at it’s finest? You decide.🤔

I agree with Jeff and Tes from above. NY Life could even release it and make money on it if they wanted to, but no. Just leave it as a commercial.
