stars - your ex-lover is dead (final fantasy remix)

[Ibeatyou23]

Does anyone know the version where it's just a girl singing this song. I could swear I heard one where there is no guy(nothing against this guy i just prefer the other version) Maybe it's by another band or something?

[DRUNKENRAMBLE]

my ex lover needs to set herself on fire !!!!

[ohlinny006]

@DRUNKENRAMBLE ahahahah!



[RagingInfoMachine]

this song is so, so good...like...how? how is it so good?

[hihi909]

my father needs to set himself on fire.

[daizzyism]

this song was on underbelly razor and i feel in love with it <3 its soo good!

[TheGrizz393]

Serene. Listening to this in the car at night, driving through the fog, with Christmas lights on either side of the street. Just a beautiful moment.

[jstu8]

This song is melancholy, intriguing, gorgeous. It's like peeking into someone else's dream. Love this.

[buscoitaly]

@DJman09 because it was made by Final Fantasy (aka Owen Pallett), a guy who plays violin. and whose stage name is Final Fantasy

[hachikk]

This makes me feel so sad.

[mcrlvr126]

what's the piano song called in the background?

[Deidara85]

Man, the intro really drags this song down...

[HereYaGoVideo]

Wow, exactly 150,000 views

[kristone306]

Lol "When theres nothing left to burn, you have to set yourself on FIRE!!!"... so tell me

.. WHAT DOES IT MEAAANN!?!??!??!? im having an anxiety attack!!!!!!!!!!!! Exclimation attack!!!!!!

[PaleMoons]

@kristone306 If you have destroyed ever possible thing in your life wether that be physical and mental. You have to succumb in the flames or change your thinking and start over again.

[kristone306]

@PaleMoons ~ Dope i like how u dumbed that down for me, i kinda figured that would be the logical explination, my life can go on, and i feel asif my life is profound for a reason. :)

[317kstar]

did you guys know when theres nothing else left to burn you have to set yourself on fire?

[lukangmiami]

i love this song! the begining perfectly sets the mood fo song! perfection has been acheived

[kezar93]

I love this version, I just hate when I put it on repeat and the intro kinda ruins it.. It's nice the first time you listen to it, but it gets a little old.

[Deidara85]

Great song, but the retarded "when there's nothing left to burn" part kind of ruins it when you're playing it to other people

[matulaak988]

@Deidara85 That's the best part. it gets their attention.

[xoTillox]

my love for this song is just incredibe, this is amazing!

[xoTillox]

I can't decide whether I like this version better than the original, they are both amazing

[RobertoGuti10]

nah i like this one way more than the first.

[BritaniaANDPrussia]

@shauno5166 Amen!

[thatsthat12000]

the first part scares me

[GoldCogIronMachine]

Absolutely gorgeous song! It's almost haunting... Anyway, thanks for uploading this!

[OrangeCrow]

It's really interesting and chaotic... I added it to my playlist for a bit of diversity I guess.

[eskaflontae]

Such a creative remix...I feel like I sink into it.

[LoveKillerXx]

@eskaflontae my thoughts exactly! <3

[shauno5166]

this sucks compared to the original

[redwingedangel87]

wow

[theoneandonlylc]

Fkn. Brilliant.

[Wetallovah]

this is an AMAZING song, but it annoys me just a bit that they repeat "When there's nothing left to burn, you have to set yourself on fire" literally like 5 times =x

[AnotherClich3]

@Wetallovah get the mp3 and cut them out with an editor

a lot of people don't like it, but I appreciate the artist's personal touch to it, I guess

[SHANDindustries]

11 people need to go set themselves on fire.

[pwoods2122]

@SHANDindustries Numbering the amount of people who disliked and then saying something stupid that they did wrong or need to do needs to stop. Yeah, this song is really fucking awesome and it sucks that people have disliked it, I don't see why, but find a new way to express you're feelings about it. It's getting really old seeing these.

[boxi258]

Both versions are excellent, but there's something about this one that is terribly addicting for me. I don't know how many times I've replayed this song; it's smooth and calming, with just the right touch of melancholy.

I can't get enough of it.

[ashleylyn7]

2:45 Sounds like a piece off the soundtrack of Amelie :) LOVE IT!

[SHANDindustries]

i want more music like this, anyone have some suggestions?

[K2armada]

Well I have to say that Owen pallett makes this. It was nothing before him. Haha, controversial maybe- but his piano compliments the vocal melody SOOOOOOOO well. It's completely wasted in the origanl.

[PerplexingPerfection]

This remix is absolutely fantastic.

[rlslovesjdb]

My dance class is doing a piece to this song!!! its going to be soo good! :)

[briitaanee]

This version makes me tear up.

[KeepCalmHaveCupcakes]

I love every second of this song. :D

[margaridasaramago]

is the remix by owen pallett?

[kazsiku]

@margaridasaramago

Owen Pallett records as final fantasy so I guess so, could easily be wrong.

But it's a great remix.

[missmissyphotography]

<3333333

[Jiaal]

Is the intro from a movie or something?

[SockReaper2000]

@SugerCandyQueen looks like a good movie according to IMBD. Thanks for the recommendation random internet person!

[RADnItO]

love the song except for the spoken parts in the intro

[HeathersTorturedSoul]

MY FAVORITE SONG OF 2010.

[Hubris73]

@HeathersTorturedSoul Too bad it was released in 2007. I remember when the compilation came out (its off of the Stars 'Do you trust your friends' remix compilation). I was DJ-ing a show for my campus radio station at the time and played that disc raw - this track in particular.

[BelleFlower15]

@SugerCandyQueen I love Amelie!! It's such a gorgeous movie. Have you seen Jeux D'enfants? (Not sure if I spelled that right. The English title is Love Me If You Dare. It's an exquisite movie.)

[BelleFlower15]

This felt... better than real life. Like something else altogether.

[emilees]

@BelleFlower15 agreed.

[teepeemaniac]

this version suits the title more...sad but such a great song. this version intertwines so perfectly with the words..... :)

[wuundarbar]

how can i download this?!?!

[Lyndsele]

@wuundarbar You can download a youtube video downloader. Just Google it :)

[cymbaline53]

I like this one more than the original.

[miekoisbored]

@cymbaline53 I myself can't choose. There are pieces of this that are epic, and pieces of the other version that resonate with me more.

[TheJackssuprise]

So happy I found this =)

[fuzzbal83]

love this song

[xxLivvy212xx]

love this version so much betterr <3

[oromisszane]

the piano is fantastical

[jellybrand]

SO. AWESOME.

[MadHatterTamaki]

9 viewers must be deaf. D:

[JR1840]

i'm so excited to hear this, i didn't know he covered this, as if holy shit, sounds awesome already 1:30 in

[totalamazingness]

This is one of those song where you can just feel it's beauty in your chest

[proxie9]

@totalamazingness GOD! So true. <3

[bezzie4lyf]

beautiful

[bezzie4lyf]

beautiful

[eyaluvz1234]

the beginning is a little creepy i am not going to lie.

[appleby]

i wish owen sang it as well!

[ruthers24]

just EPIC AWESOME!!!!!!!

[jayskalo]

why is this called the final fantasy remix anyway?

[psuedospike]

@jayskalo I assume its an Owen Pallett remix. The man's a genius.

[ilovewriting1]

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!

[robotsmaycry]

8 people missed the like button.

[maybebear]

@robotsmaycry It's 9 now =(

[ClownFishies]

this is the best cover i have EVER heard

[frankenb3rry]

I love both the original and this version.

[Jiggeepuff37]

its just so strange but yet its awesome. :)

i cant stop listening to it..

[ruthieheartsgreen]

can someone send me the link to this song

[jennabennabby]

this song is like the soundtrack for my painting right now.

i am in love

[gracie3204]

Nice. :)

[lgommans]

This is so much more beautiful than the original in my opinion, the melancholy of the music goes so well with the beautiful, beautiful lyrics.

[heytoguy]

I like the original one better, but I still admire Owen Pallet's work a lot more :)

[MelkysLove]

damn this is beautiful!

[SchwedterSkater]

It gives me the heebie-jeebies.

[J231979J]

super better than original version...more poetic

[Cloud3h]

such a bloody tune!!!!!!!!!

[thatonetallchick]

the album is actually

'set yourself on fire'

[MelanieAlchemy]

@thatonetallchick Nope. This album is different. It's all remixes.

[Blueberry488]

i LOVE THIS SONG I AM OBSESSED.

[LiLMissLuciernaga]

oohhh i like...TT

[LadyLunoc]

Learning to play this on the piano is lovely, the remix is grand. Lovely lyrics combined with haunting and encanting music that for some reason hits me to the core. FAvorited and rated 5 stars. lol Stars is great.

[kickorguard]

HA! Someone thought this was from the video game? Now how can a video game remix a song? Not to mention FF8 & FF9 came out in 1999-2000 and this song came out in 2007. Dwight Schrute was right, this world needs another plague.

[MabroshiBara]

That cracked me up.

It sounds kinda like something I would say.

[xoxJellyFisshxox]

@kickorguard

1) Agreed.

2) Dwight Schrute. Amen. All I can say.

[tjc15]

this is the only song on the remix album that I prefer to the original

[hannahpx1]

the piano's awesome, does anyone know from who it is or something ?

[MybestOffense]

Final Fantasy 8 I think. Or 9.

[magus386]

Final Fantasy is the artist, not the game that the piano is sampled from. The piano came from Owen Pallett, the musician behind the remix of the original Stars song.

[UnitedTen]

"When there's nothing left to burn, you have to set yourself on fire." Damn, that's deep. :D

[Mayavina]

AMAAAAAZZZING~!

[Lijacote]

Both have their versions. This has some really beautiful parts in it, but so does the original.

Both are absolutely awesome. I had to get this one as a ringtune.

[Lijacote]

Both versions have their uses*, damn. What was I drinking?

[PersonNo1]

Straight vodka.

[mymindplease]

i love both versions

[ChaseKittens]

I love this so much more than the original.

Except for the strings being very out of place sometimes (1:27)...what were they thinking? But yeah, other than that, this perfect :)

[shootingstars5678]

if there was an instrumental version of this, i would probably like it much better. otherwise, the original is where it's at!

[NinyaChow]

i really like the piano, but don't really know why two great things are mixed together like this.

[katrinalol]

Original is defiantly better, has more raw emotion but this is good too

[KenzieHGibbons]

i like the original version but this has a really cool sound 2 it. I just like the original best because I heard that first!!!

[LungsOfTheLiving]

love the original and this version! I like the old man better than the multiple voices. :] <3

[0oasheso0]

I enjoy the original, but this is very creative(:

[Bdances4life]

this song is so touching..sad.

sometimes you cant save something you love..

[yadiggprod]

original > remix

[mikebrims]

Where can i download this song?

[BushraDAMNIT]

... i absolutely LOVE the original but this one is effing brilliant as well.

[sofiaisrad]

I like this better than the original.

[WhiteDog91202]

i like the remix more then the original, It's very sad, but very true. I guess sometimes a relationship ends and nothing can be said, and no fault or blame is left, it's just over

[SantiagoMontevideo]

@WhiteDog91202 I like this version more too.Beautiful!

[freepirateXD]

eh. cool but not very good.

[beththedinosaur]

I'm a bigger fan of the original.

[jjblazej2]

lovin this....

[fghsinging]

is kinda sad

this version though

[ADub0224]

much better than the original, though i'm a fan of Stars. so, so good.

[clauds23]

i like both versions a lot, but i like how this one sounds more french. cool spin :]

[LoffleMe]

It's a bit weird in places, but otherwise it's awesome! The background music changes the tone of the words, and puts a whole new spin on it.

[ktinkoff]

Gave me goosebumps!

[missdarbyjo]

@ktinkoff .. haha same here the begining definatly lol

[ianjohn212121]

Thank you for posting this!

[proeshu]

absolutelly brilliant, i like the original the most but this one's background is just awesome <3 5*

[1xxLovebullets]

Sorry.

This is good but.. nothing beats the original.

[UnitedTen]

Covers never aspire to be better than the originals. That's a given.

[ohdamnspam]

this isnt a cover, its a remix. and its badass.

[MabroshiBara]

I beg to differ.

I've heard some covers / remixes that blew the original out of the water.

It really depends on what kind of fan you were of the original.

Not saying your wrong , just saying the comment was a bit exclusive.

And I hope this doesn't offend you.

[kaitielynn]

I like the music to this, but it doesn't go with the voices at all. I like the original way better because everything in it seems to fit. This is just...bad.

[Demosthenes1797]

anybody that thinks that it doesnt fit doesnt know music and cant hear how it truly works.

[camacam21]

or maybe some people just don't like it..

[shallowbelieverX]

thinking something is weird and not liking it is a different thing dick head

[cochra27]

@Demosthenes1797 WTF are you talking about?

[solaris0000]

This was the first version I heard of the song and for the longest time I thought it was the original till saw the music video of the original and I was like...wait this isn't right!

I've grown to love both versions for different, and sometimes the same, reasons. I've seen them live in a festival atmosphere but I would LOVE to see them in a venue some day.

[kunphyooz3d]

agreed

[smallboyonherbicycle]

i like the original because of the softness of their voices.

and i like this because of the intensity of the background but i dont think they fit very well together

[LunocLunatic]

Learning the piano bit was echanting, i love playing it, especially in duet mode with someone else, just so serene and as lilshortyfromfilly said, magical =]

[asulkan]

everyone is talking about a remix? ive known this song for a long time.. is it not the original?

[Dony221]

nope.

it's not.

Watch my ex lover is dead

(the one that isn't the final fantasy remix)

[lilshortyfromfilly]

this song is just...magical

[MusicalGViolin]

I LOOOOVEEEE IT.. I just happened to look up owen pallett and read abt him, and saw stars which is one of my favorite band...nd dude, this guy is freaking amazing. in the future i will meet him for sure.

:)

[katherinefreak]

He is AMAZING live! I'm going to see him again in October. If he has a tour date down your way, I HIGHLY recommend him. :)

[freebearride]

I first heard this remix before hearing the original song and I like it a lot better. It's just nicer with the piano and more moody

[proxie9]

i love both versions but in different ways. :) <3

[beniichan]

It's great, just in another way.

I like how the voices sound, more intense

[rachaelswiftt]

This version is weird. The original is way betterrrrr

[ChocolateDinoRagDoll]

This remix is much better than the original :]

[tuobahc]

this one is much better that the original

[Cusamic]

the orginal is great but i realy dont like this one.

[nomie220]

I love both versions equally. This one is beautiful but so is the original.

[ICouldLiveOnMusic]

i like this version so much better than the original...it might be because this is the one i heard first, but i don't think so. The reason why I like it so much is all the feeling in it, and I love the music. It's beautiful.

[droznig]

i completely agree, i heard this one first and after hearing the original it just doesnt sound right to me. Wierd but hey its just how i feel.

[marrymekate]

nothing like the original, c'mon the original is miles better, but this is a really great attempt to overcome it.

[rachaelswiftt]

Agreed. Original overcomes any remix of this song.

[yous0stanky]

i love this version it's waaay better than the original haha

[I3artholomew]

imho this is much better than original

[pubzpubzandmorepubz]

screewyofdxgohpd

[paigeg]

This version is better than the original version, except the music video for the original is better than this.

I think the concept of this video is kind of neat, but it gets boring to look at after a while.

[violetcrumbled]

I love this version so very much over the original, but they are both great :)

[cmaddyc]

which final fantasy was this in?
