I can't confirm this, but I'm pretty sure that he went to Juliard to become a concert pianist when he picked up the violin... I'd say that's pretty intense
i think he played piano and violin from the time he was very young i know he went to a really good school it might hae been juliard but i know that he wrote operas and actually completed 2 or so, but it doesnt matter becos we have his amazing tunes to listen to so its all good
He's great. I saw him live this year and it's just amazing what he does. His songs sound live better than on cd (although I really like listening to his cds ;) ). I'm looking forward to his new album.
amazing amazing amazing, he did NOT get enough time at any of his sets, though I did hear everything I wanted haha. this song is so much better live than on recording.
totally agree. i fell in love with his live performances on youtube first, haha. and i agree with not enough time for his sets :( but oh well.. seeing him again.
mr. pallet is really, really amazing. i was there for both of his performances this year at the folk fest. i saw him do things with a violin that i never knew were possible.
You're welcome! Yeah...his shirt is a little left field, isn't it? It was just a normal shirt from the front but then when you see the back, it is loong and, you could say, cape-like.
He's so beautiful... Why are all the beautiful men gay. SIGH!

It's about brad.j.lamb who sells condos, very unartistic and dull condos in toronto. making it an architectural equivalent of a breadbox

It's about a douche bag who sells condos, is impotent, and has a failed marriage.

Dude, he's a Canadian. He didn't go to Juliard. He did however get the first Polaris Music Award, now given to outstanding musicians of Canada.

You should ALWAYS pay for music from smalltime musicians. Seriously, they could do with the cash.

@zoester007 It's a dress with the front cut out. Pretty rad, shirt/dress fits his boy/girl style perfectly.

This is one of the best recorded versions i have seen of this song and of Owen. The sound and Video Quality are Stellar. Owen rocks so much.
magus3498 4 years ago
Thanks very much! I was a little surprised at how well it turned out. Plenty of the sound quality is thanks to Owen and the Folk Fest, of course.
