[simplymaladroit]

His music moves me so deeply. It's incredible. Chills.

[adambedford1]

Brilliant x

[warnerkickass123]

valo!

[bestbud11d7]

why isn't Owen famous. this is REAL talent. not that crap you hear on the radio...

[FrodoTheDog777]

@bestbud11d7 Thats why he isnt famous.

[painless231]

Im so excited of how much this song is matching my environment right now.

[notp1nk]

thanks for a decent recording! so many or just... not decent :p

[uzamaki19]

i just bought tickets to see him in november! i'm super excited :D

[sunsurfedit]

Wow.

I love Owen Pallett.

[jillybutt]

I LOVE YOU OWEN!!

[kris12456]

very nice...im trying to learn this on my violin now

anyone else notice his shirt flapping throughout the vid?

1:10 he looks like he's about to own someone

[slickus711]

nice music, was very impressed by listening to this album. nice to see him here on ytube

[Mrcancan3]

where can u find the sheet music for thiss

[aarong923]

it's an easy song... but still very very cool.

on the violin, it's simply BG BG BG BG BG BG BA BB double stops. and then the bass is simply an A major scale.

[zurdo1432]

does anyone know what is it that Owen Pallet uses to record his own playing live?

I've had the idea to make something similar in the bass before...

or on another instrument...

Thanks!!!

[epiklulz1]

I dont know what he uses but no there is not other instrument i thought that at first but no

[racheek]

I'm pretty sure he has a mic linked into the violin, so it picks up the vibrations and not his voice, and then he has looping equiptment that he controls with the pedals at his feet..

[TheErikBleich]

looks like he's using a couple boss loop stations...

[Drakangard]

I reckon its just the one, the one with two pedals, the rest are other effects, like the octave one, to get the bassier tones :D amazing how he uses them so well though :D timing is impecable :D

[asamichara1223]

it's so cool how it's only him, doing everything. no backround track at all. just his little magic box that records him. he's voice is really good to. basically he's AWESOME!!!!

[ImaSsuare]

I absolutly adore him.

[elimescube]

Owen Pallett is amazing! I love how the fan is blowing at his shirt as well :P

[HaoLong07]

Yeah, haha, the fan thing looks spooky...like imagine him floating in the air, and yeah. Hahaha :P

[TrustNo121000]

Modified Arts is the hottest venue I've been to. I wish the rest of the people got a nice fan too!

[Elmaguy]

where can i hear this song??NOT in live!

[BustedHeart]

wikipedia his first album.

[wakkawa2]

And also, there's another version on the Many Lives -> 49 MP EP

[Nicoi]

él es dios

[amphibological]

man when was this? I can't believe i missed it.

[nazleee]

umm, marry me?!

[ahahahayeahright]

only if you're a man

[jellyfishermann]

well ,..its true

[sweetmama333]

i love it!!!

[croatoan1584]

i am incredibly pissed off i missed this show

[jennyhaze]

I've never heard this song before. This is incredible.

[yetzer19]

The great thing about his musical structuring is that it's a constant build up to an unbelievable crescendo. Watching him live, it's like everything's just washing over you in wave after wave.

[mattymcmattmatt3]

this man is a fucking genius. Truly a cornerstone of the evolution of our generation's music.

[matters5]

What does it have to do with the CN Tower?

[shadowelite141]

the cn tower was built over some graves.... thats wat i get from the song

[sogrammatical]

The songs seems to be about zombies taking over Toronto. Possibly.

[aelegent]

yeah right, as if zombies would come here...T.O would probably send them more east to devour the Newfies and the Francophones.

[imjustinb]

agreed.

[ponyboy316]

He is, to put it simply, a contemporary elf. Like the girl who shoots a bow and arrow with her feet. Like Joanna Newsom with a harp. These people have essences that trancend their physical body and make them almost appear to be mythical beings. Maybe they are, or were in some way. But their talents are the most appreciated.

[faithwright]

best comment ever

[bwkentclark]

I totally agree.

[ElegantClone]

Deep. Agreed.

[crazyrabbits]

+1 thumbs up

[ecury36]

@ponyboy316 Yeah an elf is the best to describe the majestic feeling this music gives me. So beautiful and brilliant.

[nineof12]

M****!! Owen. We miss you. Drop us a line!!! McCrady's in North Carolina.

[imjustinb]

hahahaha omg your rigght dude

and "darksideneveragain"..."the bastard should change his name"

how ironic ?

[Markzuckerberg]

I hope you're joking because uhm... hahaha.

But I do hate that when I search for Owen Pallet's music all I get are videos of music set to Final Fantasy cutscenes because those things are always always terrible.

Someone delete them all please

[xxiimmeennaa]

I'm in love with this song.

[DarksideNeverAgain]

he stole his name from a really popular game, he stole his name, and for that, i boycott him, the bastard should change his name

[inkpaduta]

He chose the name cause he's a big fan...

Kinda like when a band chooses a name from another Artists song... no?

[DarksideNeverAgain]

Songs and musicians are in the same field: Music. Video games and musicians are not. Also, you're about 10 months late

[HaoLong07]

Video games and musicians go together. :D

[yatima2975]

He does keep getting better every time I watch him! What a guy.

[SwobyJ]

whoh!! I was looking up "Owen Sound" and found this guy! I bought his cd 1 month ago cuz i like Final Fantasy game too lol!

[javsthemute]

Owen is so ridiculously talented.

[chalkies]

this is my favourite song by him. he's the bomb

[cowards]

0h Owen, you have stolen my heart!

[smegmama]

I like the majestic billowing of the bottom of his shirt.

[CharlesFTW]

yeah i know~!

[pkingsora]

man i love this song

[FreetheRobot]

He looks so mystical.
