Art in the subway

The Stockholm subway system is said to be the world's longest art exhibit - 110 kilometers long.

Traveling by subway is like traveling through an exciting story that extends from the artistic pioneers of the 1950s to the art experiments of today. Over 90 of the 100 subway stations in Stockholm have been decorated with sculptures, mosaics, paintings, installations, engravings and reliefs by over 150 artists.

The Kungsträdgården subway station looks like an archaeological excavation, with the remains of the old Stockholm Makalös palace. At Östermalmstorg the artist Siri Derkert highlights women's rights and peace and environmental issues.

Song played during power point of Stockholm Subway

Could you please tell me the name of the song played in the power point presentation of the Stockholm Subway. What is the name of the song and who is the artist? It sounds like it could be the pianist Floyd Cramer. It's beautiful.
