He has a voice that could sooth me after the fall of an atomic bomb ... I find a shelter in the vibration of his vocal chords, in his detachment from the trivialities of life that combines easily with his devotion to the beautification of sound ... i.e., this guy is underrated.
I've known people that played violin very well - but they could never be as open with their instrument as Owen has been. He has such talent. It's a shame that many instrumentalists do what's ordinary- rather than go out and try something different for a change.
i must admit, when i saw him some years ago as support act of tocotronic (my all-time favorites since im like 14), i did think he's quite good, but a bit boring. but nowadays, i cant hear owen pallett enough. fuck, its sooooo good. looking forward to re-see and -hear him.
Idk if anyone's ever read any of his stuff, but this song always reminds me of the clacks towers from Terry Pratchett's work, especially the "calenture" description from Going Postal.
Lols, me and my band were the first people ever to play this as an orchestra without an electronic repeater, my teacher got permission from Owen himself! Saw him live and he is one of the greatest violinist on this planet!
@inDrockk3music3lyfe3 I went to their show in Tempe last night and I was just blown away by both Owen Pallett and The National. Very glad I didn't miss the show.
There's literally nothing like this song. It's so beautiful, but no matter what your musical taste I think anyone would be able to appreciate just how immensely genius this song is.

had just the melody of this and a vague feeling of the voice stuck in my head and after a long hard thought, got it in one. YES.

Alright,
the national, owen pallett.
show. @ uptown kansas city.
anyone who would miss this show is crazy.
if you can play an instrument like this, create your OWN music,
make your OWN unique sound, and make a final product like this. You should be listened to more than that crap on the radio.
great freaking song.
