Final Fantasy - This Is The Dream Of Win And Regine

Video for 'This Is The Dream Of Win And Regine, by Final Fantasy

[@vnssgrc]

after all these years I still wake up to this violin melody in my head every now and then

[@yatima2975]

What if they like it? // Montreal might eat its young // The **best** violin solo of modern times (don't want to diss Mozart et al). I could write another paragraph about the similarities with Grimes' Oblivion video and (duh) The Handmaid's Tale.

[@vnssgrc]

@@yatima2975 no dissing, BUT..........

[@jordanmcminn998]

Insane how time goes by. As a teenager exploring music this was pivotal. As an adult, Owen Pallett's music is just as important to me

[@KazumiWolf]

2019 and still listening!

[@danbowman3779]

Same.

[@S4BRETOOTH]

2020!

[@martin05111981]

2021 and still listening! :)

[@sirizetterman9972]

yep

[@Micke343]

2022 bruh.

[@adiscofromhell]

This is still one of my favourite songs & definitely my favourite music video :)

[@jackieferris7126]

A Facebook memory from 2013 just reminded me how much I love this song

[@clearlenscap9707]

Seeing all these people in the comment section is so nice, it reminds me that I'm not the only one who enjoys this, kind of bittersweet

[@dm3763]

I miss this song.

[@lukejones6293]

we need this song on spotify. barely listen to it as much as i would... love this song so much

[@willtaylor5981]

It is on Spotify now

[@gsstr12]

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 :)

[@kurtomcburto]

Remember what else was on the mix?

[@nonotreallyok]

2016 and still listening

[@DigitalLeonardo]

I saw this video on TV last night and just LOVED IT!

[@whyrobbiewhy]

This still bangs

[@usafairmanlord]

My tuning people out song. So Happy!

[@yatima2975]

I can not recover my soul from this song; it will forever be there.

[@ErieMaxwell]

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

[@iconnurussell8630]

Has a Good Home and He Poos Clouds came out at important times in my life and seeing him live and meeting him was also memorable, a time tucked away in a small pocket of time that only could have happened once under the right and wrong circumstances and somehow did. I'm grateful for it.

[@gudrunstadlbauer9289]

was fascinated when i heard it years ago, marvellous opus ;-) thanks mr pallet and the concert on arte..... beautiful!!!!!!!

[@TehDash]

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

[@Jules187]

There are so many amazing musicians from canada, its unbelievable. I love this country more and more. thanks for posting it!

[@yatima2975]

We used to have an Axis of Evil and an Axis of Cool - the latter consisting of Canada, Sweden, and varying bits of the UK.

[@JR1840]

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

[@LokusvonWelt]

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

[@JustRoc]

This has to be the cutest video evar.

[@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

[@wildnatureliving]

mindblowing.. dont know why but addicted to the song 👊🖒

[@ardenskylark6235]

What I wish I could get away with at work. My headphones and a fabulous red cape. I really feel this music video

[@talidemon]

I love you, Owen. Thank you so much for your amazing music. You bring a fellow artist so much joy. To be honest, you are the only one I can listen to.

[@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.

[@johnnyvirtues]

2022 and I just found out about this song last year

[@gmpyearof96]

nothing beats this... i hear it a dream starts in my mind

[@talidemon]

Owen is so good... Great comment!

[@SpriznChristl]

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

[@ChocolateGenious]

Can't keep thanking myself that i found this a few years ago! Geeez i love this song. Wish someone would introduce me to some more similar music to this one.

[@AnubisEvalyna]

Same here. =] Perfect song to feel a little better on a less good day.

[@Nut_Kun]

this song always reminds me of the warm and beautiful spring morning local train ride in Japan.

[@eddiemundo]

damn has it really been 17 years

[@sebastiaorieger1738]

Eu amo essa música, cada um deveria fazer o que quiser

[@Zebrails]

obtain a jack (like that for headphones) but has two male ends. Insert one end into the headphone jack on your computer (not speakers) and the other end into the microphone hole on your stereo or mp3 player. Ready the recorder on stereo or mp3 player, press record, start video/music.

[@Zebrails]

First time I heard this song, I saw him sing/play it when he toured with Stuart McLean over 15 years ago, in Kamloops, BC... That was when Owen got his music very well known across Canada... That was over 15 years ago when I saw him live... that music is beautiful.

[@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.

[@gabifeliz]

I love it. Owen Pallett is a genious.

[@kielmeakin4901]

No idea how or when I came across this absolute get, but I love it

[@munkifisht]

Yep, Owen Pallet AKA Fianl Fantasy writes the string arrangments for Arcade Fire and is a close freind to the band.

[@clearlenscap9707]

Anyone else notice how Has a Good Home and He Poos Clouds have both been taken down from Spotify, Soundcloud, and everywhere else?

[@clearlenscap9707]

I asked him on twitter recently and he said that they're down because he's remastering them and they will be out again soon! I don't know how soon but they'll be there and be better than ever and I'm so excited :D

[@clearlenscap9707]

Well I think Owen Pallett himself is a pretty reliable source so try not to worry :p

[@bubba893]

@@clearlenscap9707 bit late but they are under owen pallett now

[@clearlenscap9707]

@@bubba893 hell yeah he remastered them and its great

[@DonnieDarko160983]

great song!

[@AnubisEvalyna]

First time I heard it, LOVE IT!!!!

[@ichbinsicherschon18]

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

[@mistcrow]

Incredible.

[@RivieraUnivox]

This song plays in my head every time I see a girl with big headphones.

[@ceejayessee]

I'm not certain, but i read somewhere else that it's about the couple Win and Regine of the band Arcade Fire and how it's hard to have a relationship where people they don't know, know about it. It's sounds like a good enough explination to me.. But i can't even begin to understand the video.. I don't think it has anything to do with the song

[@Black_Lotus_1983]

Yep it's a song about arcade fire, i think owen knows win since school time

[@ceejayessee]

@@Black_Lotus_1983 I enjoy the fact that you replied to a comment I made 12 years ago which has now just reminded me how much I used to love Final Fantasy and I should really give all his stuff a listen to again :)

[@peterjussi4791]

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

[@bluntobjct]

for anyone who doesn't know the title is a pun on the song 'this is the dream of evan and chan' by Dntel/the Postal service. a song everyone should check out too. final fantasy is extremely good too.

[@zenintrude]

i need this version of the song on cd... the album version just doesn't cut it

[@SproingyLemming]

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

[@Coughman94]

this song i forgot i had this in a playlist

[@apocalypsenerd]

I lovers this, ever so much.

[@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.

[@adiofan87]

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

[@oscarmanutdfan2]

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

[@Violettsponge]

Wonderful vid!

[@tonitoman]

Win Butler and Régine Chassagne

[@juliakolb99]

i hear it and start crying immediatly

[@Philobert]

Haha, me too. Listened to it during a breakup and still recall the feelings from 15 years ago

[@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?

[@Bernardusaurus]

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

[@slickus711]

whoooa fantastic shit ! love this

[@dayaneenayad]

perfect *-*

[@Marrascia]

love it !

[@lovemuch55]

he's in it!

[@Stevenlaw13]

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.

[@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

[@njmoose]

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

[@Bernardusaurus]

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

[@FleshofJesu]

really wish the screams were intact for the album version

[@peterjussi4791]

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...

[@rtenenbaum]

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

[@Cssfiend]

its on itunes im sure

[@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

[@HilliyGadam]

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

[@johnnycarson5146]

This is a slightly different version than the one on the album. He screams on the bridge but he doesn't in the other version. Any ideas on that? I prefer this one, personally.

[@xavierofsparta]

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

[@bwhahrhr]

Some are not strong enough to face the messed up world. I think you are right that "escapeism" is the wrong way to go, but for some - me for example, its the only viable way to live.

[@ThomasStillbranch]

same, i was in awe do you remember that first band that played? something involving a lark

[@bluechips7]

WOOOOOOOOOW

[@KATHYsMUSIC100]

genial!!♫♪♫ღ ♫ღ

[@thehousebull]

does a higher resolution version of this exist? i find it hard to relate any more to this than i already do, i'd love to see it more clearly.

[@TaquitoMC]

I think there's a remastered version of the whole album. I personally found it in Spotify.

[@sesshyrain735]

His voice makes me want to melt. -_-. This song is so yummy. Owen's so amazing.

[@SturzflugOhneMatratz]

@dannynjames It is ^^

[@user-sq7ry5vx7t]

does anybody have a link to this album? all the torrents are dead and I can't, for the life of me, find a mirror to this.

[@talidemon]

buy it. Not being a jerk, but support him. Buy it.

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

[@SkunkFunk927]

Oh my god did you see that unicorn! :D

[@coolstuffforboys]

where the fuck did this drum beat come from?

[@TwilightOfDecember]

Hum... the audio is much different from the album... Mine is from Tomlab... it may be because of that... Yet, I'm sure he wasn't screaming like THAT (lol). I didn't know it had been released with EMI! O_o

[@oscarmanutdfan2]

@Bernardusaurus Correction. We're all right.

[@sillyredeyedmutt]

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

That girl is really pretty...

feels good when it happens doesnt it

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

lol i thought it was final fantasy game stuff xD anyway good song :D

@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...
