Well, this intrepid blogger has finally tracked down the origins of the "I know that you're with me...through the storm" song from the Sony Handycam ad.
Earlier today I contacted a PR rep at Burson-Marsteller who referred me to an associate in the Corporate Communications department at Sony Electronics. I e-mailed her and just received a response. She informed me that the reason why we have been unable to find out any information about this song is because it was an original composition commissioned by Sony for the commercial. So, unfortunately, this means that we probably won't be able to download it from iTunes any time soon.
I hope that this helps provide a bit of closure for those of you who have been desperate for information about this song. And I hope that, even though the mystery has been solved, you'll still keep visiting the blog.

Thank goodness for intrepid young bloggers with a passion for cryptomusicology.
P.S.
Dork.
I don't even remember the song. My only reaction to the commercial was, wow, those parents have been totally suckered by their small, egotistical child into buying some device that probably doesn't work most of the time, and will be promptly forgotten by the next major holiday.
Hope this helps.
PS: Why is my word verification "zooby"?
Well, if it makes you feel any better I don't come here for the music mystery anyway.
I see this very catchy commercial when I watch DVR copies of the PBS shows "It's a Big Big World" and "Jackers!" with my son. To me, three things in this Sony commercial lead me to believe it is taking place during a children's play of the Noah's Ark story. First, there are a mix of various animals on stage. Second, the phrase "I know that you are with me" is common in hymns and prayers. And third, the words "through the storm" very likely refers to the 40 days and nights of rain.
