Owen Pallett - Lewis Takes Off His Shirt (2010)

[sueboboo]

Hey, that's Alison Pill in the video! She played Anne Kronenberg in Milk. Such a cutie.

[mccommas2]

Cool. I happened upon this twice now. Funny thing is that in the time in between I have been thinking about it.

[nicibow]

Most of his songs are written for his boyfriend...how do you NOT know he's gay?!

[pLasticiTic]

@nicibow actually most of his songs are based on fantasy and video games... none whatsoever about/for Patrick...

[treddshort]

man alive. hipsters try so hard.

[Thelyingcabbage]

@treddshort fuck you

[treddshort]

@Thelyingcabbage haaa. so you're a hipster who tries too hard. what are you gonna do about it?

[Thelyingcabbage]

@treddshort Dude, i'm just defending Owen Pallett here. I don't really see myself as a hipster.

I don't see Owen pallett's music as being hipster. It's just well made and fun. Hell, he even does commissions for many things and covers people like Celine Dion. He's not hiding from the publicity is he?

[treddshort]

@Thelyingcabbage he is a cool dude. no hurt feelings. the term hipster is ubiquitous these days. I'll try not to use it so much. haa

[NailaNur000RunAlian]

I like the video! It's funny. Looks like he had a good time :)

[onafetssss]

this video is so strange... hilarious and disgusting at the same time!

love the song instead

mah, undecided

[VersaMusic]

Wonderful song, horrible video.

[nikkoazz]

Nice music and video. Though I imagine this is what an episode of MTV hipster cribs would look like. The combination of LSD and cocaine is very present through their behaviour.

[zenixith]

this kinda sorta just a little sucks black man asshole

[10templetons]

lollin @ 4:41

[JoseMB13]

Why is he smoking in front of somebody's ass? That's stupid.

[rabbidpenguin80]

@JoseMB13 I suspect it is in reference to the colloquialism used when someone is lying to you, they might be said to be  "Blowing smoke up your ass"

[38cola]

very talented

[zodiark111]

Fuck The Gays, Fuck The Lesbians, Fuck The French, Fuck The French, And Fuck This Song And Everyone Else That Likes It.

[LonelyElf1]

@zodiark111 and a fuck to you too

[ignoranttwat]

@zodiark111

Why did you write every word with a capital letter at the beginning?

[MyBlastoiseIsBigger]

@zodiark111 LAWL

[thisisjonperkins]

OMFG I LOVE OWEN PALLETT

[JoseMB13]

Okay... yes, he was lol

[JoseMB13]

0:08 is he smoking infront of somebody's ass?

[CanTake8]

He's never gonna give it to me...

[Roronoa79]

I did not expect the Spanish Inquisition 0:05

[TheFuckOffMe]

it sucks dat hes gay

[neunzehn84]

@TheFuckOffMe Homophobia sucks

[Kadaj456]

@neunzehn84 that's true bro, but if you think about it, homosexuals do too :D

[Recycleplease27]

allison pill!

[pricelessposition]

Nobody cares about your age or sexuality.

They're here for the music, actually if most people are intelligent they don't even give a fuck about the comments.

[SpennyPwns]

@pricelessposition Don't care.

[crazyladyKIrsty]

it's very strange they sound abit like belle and sebatian

[oftruthiness]

Canadians...

[abcdefgiorgia]

this is just what a standard weekend in my house looks like

[glimpseofsong]

This should be a commercial for Crush.

[LIBBIEKITTY]

I'm seeing this guy tomorrow, his supporting Acarde Fire. I've never heard of him or his music before. So I think i'm in for a treat!

[moviemaestro001]

@LIBBIEKITTY snap :)

[zanzooun]

@LIBBIEKITTY Just got back!!!! :D

How did you find it? Didn't Mumford & Sons kick kick??

[LIBBIEKITTY]

@zanzooun I've never really listened to much Mumford and Sons but they were alright. I think everyone new the lyrics except me! Arcade Fire were fucking awesome though!

[mrowlsayshi]

whoa is that the girl from confessions of a teenage drama queen? xD

[H4x0rzShinobiJunpei]

@mrowlsayshi

that and scott pilgrim vs the world

[JamesMajdali]

this video looks like it was far too much fun to make

[XzasMusic]

0:40 Butt.

[TheMirrorNoir]

god i'm so in love with owen.........

[gag75]

Owen Pallett is god.

[ravello99]

Like the music. Video is creepy. Reminds me of how the whole Amanda Knox situation may have played out.....

[horiama]

good music, but a bit of seizure has now ensued.

[ziegogoboy]

The end with the home videos of all the kids making themselves faint...I don't know..it just. It gave me weird feelings. Not bad or good...just unique.

[PoetryAddict8]

Heehee just saw my last comment. That goal has been achieved as of right now. Good stuff

[GeorgePooshoes]

She's cute

[PoetryAddict8]

I need to remember to watch this next time I'm baked

[OrangeJelloPanda]

Is that the Spanish Inquisition?

[koolguy1029]

@OrangeJelloPanda

NO ONE EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!!!!!!!

[Roronoa79]

@koolguy1029 NOObody!!!!! :D

[Tokyomewmew626]

What.

[GEETOME]

i do not care -it is a lot of fun to watch this video

[oftruthiness]

Video featuring Baloon Boy, oh wait....

[falconhead67]

such a hipster music video

[Tonlondong]

she loves her orange soda. Its even changing the colour of her face. Bum smoke.

[thanotron1222]

being straight, i knew he was gay, and thats cool... but i never thought i would ever see him blow smoke into a man butt..i think im just gonna stick to older owen...

[apersonalitytoofar]

@thanotron1222 And that has what bearing on his music?

[thanotron1222]

@apersonalitytoofar uuuh... relevant, relateable context to me as an observer... plus it was just wacky..

[Julcheese1]

HE'S GAY? SHIT. Who am I going to marry now.

[ChelseaDewey]

@Julcheese1 I don't know if you've noticed but ALL the hot guys are gay!!! :(

[olalabili]

This is ingenius :)))))))))))))))))))) Congratulatons for the director/editor - the edting's masterful! The song's charming!!

[olalabili]

This is ingenius :))))))))))))))))))))

[PoetryAddict8]

Wtf Allison Pill!?!??!

[PoetryAddict8]

I want to cuddle with Owen for an entire night.

[ParadoxVincent]

Am I the only one who honestly just hates this video but loves and listens to this song, a lot? Oh, except for 4:40.

[anywayidontcare]

hot and fucking talented

[EnclosedSilence]

OWEN IS SO CUTEEEEEEEEEE. AHHHH!!!!!!

[SamdeSquirell]

Lewis won't give it to Owen, what It is remains ambiguous, but I think we can guess ;) That's my take on the song.

[jesusejesus]

I will kidnap you when you come to austin. I love your face

[gbien]

this looks like they watched some ryan trecartin beforehand.

[mofty7878]

god that ass in the green leggins at the begining is amazing. what a lovley peach!

[OliverLovely]

is that owens butt at 0:40? i hope to god it is

[detharmy666]

@fullmetalcorset i hope he is

[niketas0104]

Kim Pines... right there.

[mrGreatBrownHope]

I'm never gonna give it to you!

[WilAnimator]

IT'S KIM!

[sugil]

what the fuck.

[squishthesquash]

I have such a crush on this guy!

Too bad he's gay...and I'm a lesbian...and I'm almost 10 years younger than him...and he's practically married...and we've never met.

But, just small obsticles!

xD

[kinkajoes]

@squishthesquash

dang even romeo and juliet would be jealous

could it be more impossible xD

[nopewontyou]

@squishthesquash owen palletts gay????

[MattWn20]

@squishthesquash

You say you're a lesbian huh?

I'm a straight guy, but I love lesbians.

What are my chances!

[darmani212]

@squishthesquash The very fact that you want him suggests that 1.) your lesbianism isn't that concrete 2.) his homosexuality may not be either 3.) age doesn't matter to you 4.) it may not matter to him either 5.) you're both weirdos.

You should just go for it.

[Element404]

@squishthesquash He's never gonna give it to you.

[Mineheads]

@squishthesquash LOL that's my life in a nutshell

[broncobily1]

Que bueno!!, jajajaja , de los mejores de este año...

Irremediablemente impregnado de pura nostalgia.

[BakerStrt]

I'm wondering what it would be like to watch this on DXM...!

But anyway, great stuff. Lyrics = genius, Video = different. In a really positive way.

[C0smicMonkey]

Two male cross-dressers have a party where they danc ein the street and obsessively rearrange they're possessions on the floor. They then invite over their ecstasy-using female freidn and she dance all night. The next morning, one of the two males wear a bowtie obsesively rearranges build miniature fortresses out of soap on his table...

Come on... IT'S OBVIOUS PEOPLE

[theandrew1319]

@C0smicMonkey

UHAUHAUHAUHUA, I really lolled hard at your comment.

[crazyladyKIrsty]

@C0smicMonkey what this video?

[EnclosedSilence]

@fullmetalcorset I think he is, but, gay or straight, he's still very cute.

[over9000bottlecaps]

LMFAO balloon boy FTW

[mwahhaha289]

The guy in this video looks like he's having so much fun... I wish I was him.

[Aglenaa]

I will respect and love Owen Pallett forever. I know tastes change, but true talent will always remain.

[iCorgi]

HEY, that's the lady from My Life as a Teenage Drama Queen (Lindsey Lohan's new best friend). Yay realization.

[badamj2000]

OMG, how precocious and talented. Love the clip too! I hope his light doesnt burn too brightly , too quickly

[thesky10111]

After listening to this song for a while, I've started to find it strangely depressing, especially after catching more and more of the lyrics.

[PersonNo1]

@thesky10111 You should listen to the album Heartland. The whole album is a story following Lewis, a farmer, and his devotion to his god Owen.

[thesky10111]

@PersonNo1 I have :) I listen to a lot of Owen's stuff.

[EnclosedSilence]

Owen is sooooo cuteeeeee.

[Rorfox]

Lame & Gay.

[RaaaytselM]

wow. that girl. so. pretty. like, mind blowingly gorgeous in a fucked up way which makes her even more amazing O_o

[deanjohnbames]

eh music isnt half bad, video is retarded

[Pacovl8]

lsd trippers

[TastyQQQs]

WOW. DIDN'T EXPECT THIS TO BE A SCOTT PILGRIM VIRAL MARKETING VIDEO.

[foolishlyable]

That was fast

[zaynzaynzayn]

clever--if contrived

[Atirpt]

spliff thing! ^^

awesome music

[Swissas]

another retarded hipster music video FML!!!!

[Handnote]

the most random video I've watched all year.

[giulianofederico]

<3

[gustav0vatsug]

Sondre Lerche's cover is amazing

[etake04]

@gustav0vatsug Agreed :) and it's not like this is an easy song to cover by any means

[FuzzyWobble]

watching this on 2cb is weird. fact.

[MovieTheaterLad]

There are alot of quick shots where, for a split second, I thought he was Ryan Reynolds.

[EnclosedSilence]

He is just so adorable.

[hstrgrl]

Did the girl remind anyone else of "Metropolis?" The way she's looking around at first and a lot of the crazed dancing. Too bad she didn't do the weird rib boogie. That's always been one of my favorite parts.

[livingdead1968]

0:12 Nice ass.

[LuuBooks]

mal was echt verrücktes, lustig, spaßig und könnte grad mit springen :o)))

[HomegrownGold]

pause it at 0:09- he's smoking next to somebodies ass!

[nidopug]

to HomegrownGold Talk about blowing smoke up someone's ass! XD

[0Sheet0]

I loved the part with the girl dancing, it made me want to dance :)

[Arkalord]

the girl looks like Kim Pine from Scott Pilgrim.

[flyingurchin]

@Arkalord It is, silly.

[class701]

@Arkalord it is. Alison Pill :D

[allizorjonas]

@Arkalord it is kim pine. The actress is Allison Pill.

[gomachols]

i'm pretty sure there was an attempt at conveying something other than being confused... anyone have any clue as to what????

[heretoforeandnow]

it's like postal service. 

[RaiMidori]

Frankly, this video terrifies me. I am so. Oh my goodness.

What a fantastic song, though =] <3 I adore Owen Pallett.

[macandrewes]

video is too 'teenage acid trip'. which would be a good name for a band, now that I think of it.

[masterianRETURNS]

Oh..... My...... GOD......

[RaaaytselM]

gosh owen pallett is gorgeous

[lexielou888]

:D

I love this so much!!

[BanandroidBanandroid]

He looks a little bit like Fernando Torres =3

[mccommas2]

It was weird but brillent and delightful too.

[22minutesgirl]

try to see it without music!

[EnclosedSilence]

3:02 HAHAHHHAHAHAA.

[pureecstasy]

i really love this vid!

all those random objects in their placements- love!

[nataline7]

good song but totally unwatchable video

[MrMonocles]

Really great!

[pLasticiTic]

i want owen to make me a bar soap sculpture.

[johnbkrasinskilover]

i love this song but...this video is just so...i can't even...

ITS SO WEIRD

[mudbloody]

LOL Macbeth reference.

[Tkach101]

This reminded me pf Reich's Music for 18 Musicians. Very minimalist like.

[lushaaloma]

online dating site # lushfmlk.info #

[sirjibbylee]

sounded a little like postal service at the very beginning, but soon blossomed into something magical- like owen always creates!

[igyunkkubut]

now THAT was unexpected

loved it actually

[TheVirginQueenShane]

I actually enjoy the D.I.Y type version of this video. Its more personal.

[picturenoise]

I lol'd hard at 0:42

[jblovloss]

Weirdness... but that dude's ass rules.

[spiegalr]

This video is high school media project bad. Song is still awesome though.

[mistermistermisterfu]

this video manages to squeeze in all the cool weirdness of the world in 5 minutes.

this is the most fantastic video of my life.

thank you.

[YodaFZ]

Excellent, as always! =)

[passwordtaken6]

There's 5 mins of my life I'm not gonna understand. But i loved it

[climber910]

@passwordtaken6 I guess you have to be R-E-A-L-L-Y high to understand the video... I fuckin love the song thou

[thefuschiaelephant]

This song is absolutely gorgeous.

But what the crap?

But what the actual crap is going on?

I love it.

[uncageg]

The girl in the video is Alison Pill. She is also a Tony nominated stage actress.

[joyceabcdefg]

that girl was in scott pilgrim am i correct?

[torgersj]

@joyceabcdefg correct! She was in "Milk," too. 

[demolitionracoon1881]
