Final Fantasy - This Is The Dream Of Win And Regine

[shauno5166]

win and regine = arcade fire

[bluechips7]

WOOOOOOOOOW

[streeTkiDwannaBe]

This song always gives me a weird feeling when I hear it. Love it but this song was heavily played during a weird, bad time in my life. Lotta drugs.

[KATHYsMUSIC100]

genial!!♫♪♫ღ ♫ღ

[gisaster25]

Love this song. First heard it in our rental car in New Zealand in Jan. 2009. The previous renters had left a CD mix in the stereo and this was track 1! We listened to the CD many times over, some pretty good stuff on there. We suspected the renters were overweight Canadians. I'm Canadian too so I can write that :)

[DanceLIKEaGay]

lol my speakers are fucked all I'm hearing is drums and violin, quite enjoying myself though =P

[MrsYourMineNow]

@DanceLIKEaGay What are you on, kinda want some of that

[0lime]

@DanceLIKEaGay Ummmmmmmmm....just putting it out there, but thats about all there is. And its awesome

[SkunkFunk927]

Oh my god did you see that unicorn! :D

[TheMirrorNoir]

Owen, darling, you're simply amazing! :D

[Burningrockets]

If the waitress is Regine then I want to be Win

[JR1840]

so much meaning in this video... i can't believe how well done it is

[naseoj]

I think the title of this video should be changed to "Owen Pallett"... he doesn't go by "Final Fantasy" anymore.

[sillyredeyedmutt]

@naseoj

Umm if the song was released under that name it stays under that name....

[naseoj]

@sillyredeyedmutt All of his albums are being re-released as Owen Pallett. He had to drop Final Fantasy completely due to copyright issues with the video game company.

[sillyredeyedmutt]

@naseoj :O I didn't know that! Granted, I downloaded the Final Fantasy albums like a year ago, so my info is a little outdated :3

[funkysistalady]

To be fair, she's kind of a shit waitress.

[liquidminds]

eventhough I prefer the live-version, the video just rocks.

me likes....

[Mthooz]

Win and Regine will have to try and try and try harder to keep the crowds away now!

[hisheartofstone]

Why don't I wake up to this on my radio every morning? It really pisses me off... Fuck this Rhianna shit yo

[psychicbyinternet]

@hisheartofstone Get a CD or iPod alarm clock lol

[carlyjaynehoward]

Did Owen Pallett approve of this video ?

[HilliyGadam]

@carlyjaynehoward ...he's in the video, he's the chef-type person with the water.

[Demonrage2k]

@carlyjaynehoward LoL he's in the video!

[Tyler921000]

Does anyone know his song Cockatrice? It sounds like he has different versions of it. I'm trying to find one.

[brookemarshall1]

It's about Win and Regine of Arcade Fire

[FleshofJesu]

really wish the screams were intact for the album version

[hagelt18]

I've listened to this song countless times but after seeing this video for the first time it almost has a whole new feel to it. Awesome video for an awesome song.

[theishbalamassacre]

where the fuck did this drum beat come from?

[misanthrope013]

ive always prefered the video version of this song.

My guess is that Owen Pallet added the drums and strings from his other band, the Arcade Fire for the music video.

[ichbinsicherschon18]

@misanthrope013: The drums are also in the normal sold version but very much quieter.

[simonxalo]

Isn't that Owen Pallet at 3:13?

[Bernardusaurus]

Why does she look 11?

[simonxalo]

This song is just TOO good.

[MOGHARRofValhalla]

lol 3:15

[streeTkiDwannaBe]

Song still gives me a weird feeling. Was going through a tough time when this album came out. Used this song to motivate myself to keep moving forward. This album and Xiu Xiu's Fabulous Muscles kept me going that year. I took that 'Montreal won't break us down' to heart.

[awarh]

Is this the original version? I have a version without the drum beat and 'reversal synths' .... Where can I find this version??

[bestbud11d7]

i can't understand this and i love it.

[000DarkNite000]

@bestbud11d7 win and régine are the married couple behind Arcade Fire (whom Owen composed string movements for). I believe the song refers to the persistence of their love and sincerity despite the pressures of fame.

[bestbud11d7]

@000DarkNite000 yeah i know that, but i mean, i can't understand how the music video has anything to do with the meaning of the song but i still love it...

[shelterslullabies]

Does anyone know where I can find this specific mix of the song? It's different to the album version (drums are much louder here, makes the song more powerful).

[OMGlvl86turtlepilot]

@shelterslullabies same, looking for the same thing!!

[pccb233]

this song is the embodiment of ambivalence

[Enoa7]

lol i thought it was final fantasy game stuff xD

anyway good song :D

[alikeable]

wow, that seems to be like i don't know, that sort of things iI would do, if I would be brave enough. Things like wear such a cool cape or things like don't listen at what people say...

Well done, Mr. Pallett

(Btw, I'm so sorry, he's gay -.-)

[sillcatola]

@alikeable dont be sorry, im sure he not sorry youre straight?

[alikeable]

@sillcatola

Oh I'm sorry, maybe I've chosen the wrong expression : / I mean like, I would actually plan to marry him if he would want it (I know, I exaggerate :P) But it's totally okay, he's gay. okay I'm complicated :D And I'm not good in explaining. Hope you don't get me wrong again...

[dannynjames]

is this song about the same win and regine from arcade fire?

[SturzflugOhneMatratz]

@dannynjames It is  ^^

[CRACKtakular]

@dannynjames it is! it is!

[Bernardusaurus]

@dannynjames Owen Pallet is a member of Arcade Fire, so probably. :P

[Bernardusaurus]

@dannynjames Correction. He worked with them. Tours, etc. Not an official member.

[oscarmanutdfan2]

@Bernardusaurus Correction. He's a semi official member who's toured with them, supported them and worked on all their albums so far.

[Bernardusaurus]

@oscarmanutdfan2 Correction. That's basically what I said.

[oscarmanutdfan2]

@Bernardusaurus Correction. We're all right.

[dasjewden]

Found this by accident, was looking on itunes for Final Fantasy VII sound track, and got this instead. Its a good mistake :D

[ericwehler]

@dasjewden plz keep listening to his stuff. its lovely. :P

[gabifeliz]

I love it. Owen Pallett is a genious.

[Jessicaszh]

oh so beautiful sounds. i feel so happy (though i've migraine and i need meds).

[watchandwait410]

At the end she is like "get off me old lady", but seriously what right does that lady have to take of her headphones?

[Marrascia]

love it !

[TheSeptembrist]

I love this song... this artist.

Inspired me to play violin.... never did though lol

[heytoguy]

I got to see Owen play this song live at a Vinyl Cafe show. It was amazing.

[watchandwait410]

They all want her attention, take away the music and people like us walk on because "you suck".

[crucius]

this is one of the best songs like...ever! i love owen pallett, saw him live and he's just amazing...

[BehindTheSea29]

Why are the customers upset??

[JapaneseModernist]

Nice use of violins

[faceslashedbypaper2]

the video is amazing! i like the song too!

[worldwed]

music is subjective.

[BobbyJohnson11]

is the movie "good burger" better than "citizen cane"?

[worldwed]

if it appeals to your taste and Citizen Cane doesn't, than you'd say Good Burger was better. It's up to the individual...

[Minininouille]

Dude, it's "Citizen Kane" ! :)

[Syrilix]

Music is a personal thing, tastes vary from person to person, are you to intellectually inferior to understand that?

[sickofdao]

this music video is lame.

[Dwakey]

Sad he had to retire the name "Final Fantasy" ;[

[spacefaget]

@Dwakey He didn't have to. It just made sense to.

It was a bad name to begin with. Not to mention in his early days he travelled as Owen Pallet, not as Final Fantasy. Most people originally exposed to him, including myself, had no idea how to get any of his work because of the name difference.

[hojima]

Not really in any way.

[rabbitwho]

@Dwakey wupps i gave you a thumbs down because i was thinking "yeah, it IS sad"

[tonitoman]

Win Butler and Régine Chassagne

[KA05]

Anyone know what those headphones are, and where I can get a pair?

[articmonkeyslover]

the voice is also pollet's?

[rrroberrrt777]

yes. he does a lovely job.

[MultiWindchime]

wow ive been waiting for music with such passion and dynamics to whom it may concern: i am very appreciative of this musical blessing - remember to appreciate and love

[sibraa6]

What a pile of cock....

[MisterGamer43]

You quite are, now stop projecting your self-image issues upon such a beautiful song, and go away. Unless that's supposed to be a compliment, then you're likely a nympho.

[ImAngelx]

lol

[dudefacecupholder]

agh I love this stuff!

[benlansky]

Just saw Owen in Atlanta and was blown away.Amazing musician

[nsmty1]

omg i went too it was so awesome!

[ThomasStillbranch]

same, i was in awe

do you remember that first band that played?

something involving a lark

[pierrelegaspilleur]

could someone tell me what album this is on please? Also, if I was to get an album by this guy, which would be best?

[rtenenbaum]

This album is "Has a good home" Can't say which is best though since this is the only one I have.

[Skkog]

@rtenenbaum

Has a good home is the best, although his second album (he only has two, he's a very busy boy), 'he poos clouds', is also very good.

I'm looking forward to his third album 'heartland' that's coming out in january.

[Fireye0]

Late reply, but the song is on Owen Pallet's "Has a Good Home" cd (2005). Note, that a lot of his music isn't quite like this, you may want to sample it before purchasing.

[WiSDVD]

Hey,

to be honest, they are quite different. I enjoy them both equally much. Go get one, and get the other one later. You will not regret it.

E

[spinet7]

I get teh meaning of the video (I think the waitress wants to be young again, hence the pajamas, lol, and the red cape, and the animations that deal with fantasy, I think?) but what does this song mean?

[ErieMaxwell]

This song never fails to make my day a little bit better. Thank you so much for posting!

[AnubisEvalyna]

Same here. =]

Perfect song to feel a little better on a less good day.

[jazaminda]

Gorgeous =)

[somedaythewave]

lol i do the silly pencil drum thing too.

well, i sorta just wave them around in glee

[LokusvonWelt]

i saw him for free in vienna! one of my favourites!!! great musician!

[pip9mm]

vienna VA?

[NOFEARBATMANiSHERE]

good music,

but he seems a bit wannabe patrick wolf. i dont like that. i mean, the unicorn at the end, wtf? thats pw!

[welshcake60]

tard

[peterjussi]

he is very good friends with patrick wolf, has been for a long time. hes played with him quite a bit, so i doubt hes wannabe. they just are very similar, like any two people would be when they play similar music and feed off eachothers creativity

[ArcticKomodo]

Do you know that they work together? Read up on your artists before you sound like a 'tard.

[Bozzy83]

but if you like patrick wolf ...whats the problem?

[paolettasiren]

who's the director?

[drepmore]

Seen this guy live in Belfast a few months ago, never heard any of his stuff before but he's ridiculously talented and this song's probably even better live.

[LozJBell]

drums?

[haigengiyo]

This song will never grow old.

[gumblut]

ahhh, i see this is what happens when you give someone fingers, insane amounts of talent, a looping pedal, and a masters in classical compostion. i like it.

[Bozzy83]

you my friend are a "moron"

[iliveatseven11]

for a sec i thought this had to do something about final fantasy the game

i was like wtf is square doing some kinda new shit?

xD good music

[Bozzy83]

HOW CUTE 2:31!!!

[SpriznChristl]

it's an amazing song!!!! so much feelings in there.

[lordJordo]

Go see Owen live and you will feel differently.

[adiofan87]

I fell in love with him when I saw him perform at Pitchfork. He's incredibly talented.

[damirsintegra]

Whats the connection with Owen and Arcade Fire? this guy is awesome !

[sickasinawesome]

he's a member, violin player. he does so much stuff too! he's pretty awesome.

[peterjussi]

he plays with them once in a while, and im pretty sure he wrote most of the string section on a couple of the arcade fire cd's...

[lordJordo]

He was their lead violinist up to the end of the Funeral tour. He had longer hair for most of that period.

[HoIIowCrown]

I believe he is a sessional violinist, no?

[etherealeyes]

used to play violin with them

[etherealeyes]

woops, old comment with several responses already =/

[DeadLuwave]

I really love this!

[xRizzJizzx]

Love it! I have developed a huge man crush for Owen. lol

[risonhighmer]

You're in luck, he happens to be gay.

[derGigi]

Absolutely love it!

[chloemckinly]

I would love to get this as a ringtone for my mobile - does anyone know how/where I can download it (legally)?

[KitDivine]

I'm not sure about legally but I know how you could do it Illegally ;-)

[Cssfiend]

its on itunes im sure

[Elsabellsa2]

i love this song and music video i think they are both done really well.

[ateronde]

I am an idiot.

It says right in the tags who sings this.

Owen Pallett, eh?

[tdlyle1]

Owen Pallett is an artist known as Final Fantasy. This isn't from the series of games called Final Fantasy.

[ateronde]

Who actually sings this song!?

I know that it is from Final Fantasy.

This song makes me simultaneously want to dance and cry. Figure that one out.

[hamabe1]

This is officially my favorite mv on YouTube.

[parallaxengine]

LOVE = PRISON

BLOOD = FREEDOM

[Cssfiend]

i wish i had a cloak

[Violettsponge]

Wonderful vid! <3

[ZerroShadows]

I have been searching for hours. Hours for this song. Now I finally know the name. and I found it =D

[Cssfiend]

feels good when it happens doesnt it

[jayvadiva18]

sobrang ganda naman ng vedio nato ...hehehehe i hope makita ito ng tita ko ...aheheheheheheheh

[TehDash]

i imagine he presented this at their wedding, must have been lovely

[sosocceror]

is this song in any relation to win and regine from the Arcade Fire?

[TannerGr8rix]

Yes it is! Owen is friends with them, he's the one who arranges the orchestral stuff for The ARcade Fire, he tours with them too, usually.

[realfreakaynaughtay]

of course it does! all of those canadians know each other. haha.

[Elsabellsa2]

love this song more than life well maybe not that much lol but i still love it XD

[SproingyLemming]

I am more obsessed with this song than is healthy, I think.

[slickus711]

whoooa fantastic shit ! love this

[Kelpwoud]

This is an ugly clip for a magnificent song.

[hirschmaxe]

i think the musicvideo brings over a message..

you just have to watch and listen closely

[chloemckinly]

This is absolutely brilliant - well done Final Fantasy!!!!

[asaturn]

did anyone notice the dish washer was Owen Pallet

[littlebootman2]

good song

[Donkeyhead0]

This is a darn good song, plus that girl is cutie :)

[leoat1am]

I think that in a unique way the music does in fact fit the song. It's just different. But I enjoy it that way :)

[hinessa]

why is everyone so upset?

[dayaneenayad]

perfect *-*

[nailedshut13]

i like the video, the girl is just dancing to her own music as the world keeps going on as it always does, drama filled, and shes still enjoying her music.

[treewhore]

it's a beautiful song. the video doesn't seem to fit it very well. the video isn't as driven or interesting as the music.

[TrustNo121000]

I agree... the music seems out of place in the scenes. I'm tempted to make my own music video for the song.

[hinessa]

agreed. i like the video and i like the song but they don't realy go together. i'm not being negative here it's just criticism..

[horimonobaby]

this is one of my favorites, but i have to say i still love the butcher the best. wonderful

[BumX10]

My friend showed me this song on a road trip but he never told me what it was called. I've been searching all over for this song since the main melody had been stuck in my head for the past few weeks! :P It's such a great tune!

[SomeGeekGirl]

Why cant I find this bnd on myspace D:

?!?!?

[Belfire4]

hmm if so search Final Fantasy i the music section there should b a few profiles for the game's music and then the only one from Toronto is this one...and its actually one guy rather than a band

[goddamneddamaris]

Try searching Owen Pallett on myspazzz music

[Kakashirocksthesocks]

awesomeness
