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

[@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

[@adiscofromhell]

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

[@KazumiWolf]

2019 and still listening!

[@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?

[@TehDash]

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

[@sebastiaorieger1738]

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

[@ErieMaxwell]

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

[@DigitalLeonardo]

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

[@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.

[@dm3763]

I miss this song.

[@nonotreallyok]

2016 and still listening

[@JR1840]

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

[@wildnatureliving]

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

[@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

[@gudrunstadlbauer9289]

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

[@ardenskylark6235]

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

[@yatima2975]

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

[@gmpyearof96]

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

[@talidemon]

Owen is so good... Great comment!

[@johnnyvirtues]

2022 and I just found out about this song last year

[@JustRoc]

This has to be the cutest video evar.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@usafairmanlord]

My tuning people out song. So Happy!

[@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

[@Nut_Kun]

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

[@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.

[@eddiemundo]

damn has it really been 17 years

[@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.

[@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.

[@LokusvonWelt]

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

[@SpriznChristl]

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

[@AnubisEvalyna]

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

[@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.

[@gabifeliz]

I love it. Owen Pallett is a genious.

[@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 :)

[@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?

[@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

[@oscarmanutdfan2]

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

[@zenintrude]

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

[@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.

[@SproingyLemming]

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

[@Bernardusaurus]

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

[@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.

[@AnubisEvalyna]

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

[@tonitoman]

Win Butler and Régine Chassagne

[@ichbinsicherschon18]

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

[@njmoose]

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

[@dayaneenayad]

perfect *-*

[@mistcrow]

Incredible.

[@DonnieDarko160983]

great song!

[@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

[@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

[@Coughman94]

this song i forgot i had this in a playlist

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@adiofan87]

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

[@FleshofJesu]

really wish the screams were intact for the album version

[@slickus711]

whoooa fantastic shit ! love this

[@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...

[@Violettsponge]

Wonderful vid!

[@Marrascia]

love it !

[@apocalypsenerd]

I lovers this, ever so much.

[@rtenenbaum]

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

[@ThomasStillbranch]

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

[@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.

[@HilliyGadam]

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

[@coolstuffforboys]

where the fuck did this drum beat come from?

[@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.

[@Bernardusaurus]

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

[@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

[@kilon828]

Every time I see when she takes out the yellow and pink food it reminds me of spongebob and patrick... Anyway, Owen is great.

[@xavierofsparta]

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

[@sesshyrain735]

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

[@sebastiaorieger1738]

danke gott

[@Cssfiend]

its on itunes im sure

[@liquidminds]

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

[@SBV123]

That girl is really pretty...

[@TrashieBee]

I'd totally eat food like that.

[@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...

[@lovemuch55]

he's in it!

[@awarh]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@BobbyJohnson11]

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

[@cesardanilodiazgarcia2094]

Can I find it using spotify?

[@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 -.-)

[@sillyredeyedmutt]

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

[@realfreakaynaughtay]

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