Owen Pallett - The Great Elsewhere

[@hugotreger2181]

I discovered Owens music the day before yesterday and especially his albums Heartland and In Conflict have been playing almost non stop on my spotify. I never heard music like this, it's classical, but no chamber pop, it's extremely rhythmic but not in the first place dance music, it's pop you can't play in the background, and it's avantgarde but with a wild beauty. His songs fill me in their best moments with pure bliss. I'm cycling around an almost empty city, corona scare, but I have Owen Palletts music on my headphones, so it could be worse...

[@pepaxxxsvinka3379]

I am a new fan too) I feel somewhat close to your opinion! It is magical music! Have you checked Spectrum already?

@@pepaxxxsvinka3379 I missed that one, it isn't on spotify. I don't complain, because Owen & the guys/girls@Domino uploaded his 2 Final Fantasy records over there, so I was very happy when I discovered them yesterday. I'm totally obsessed/in love with this music, it's my soundtrack for 2020

[@pepaxxxsvinka3379]

@@hugotreger2181 I see, yeah, but other works are promised to be available soon too, I think you know) I share your feelings, really, I can't listen to anything else. Precise words you used: obsession, love and the soundtrack of the year, agree!

[@feelthecosmos91]

La escenografía y el relieve gráfico de todos los sonidos son simplemente maravillosos. He aquí un ejemplo de un trabajo hecho con mucha dedicación, cuidado y sentimiento.

[@droctagon17]

This is seriously the best song written in decades. Absolutely amazing.

[@Nigelrioux1]

agreed. the snare live doesn't have the same jam but goddamn this is amazing.

[@NeilRaoMusic]

After six years of listening to this song, I still can't emulate the magic of it in my own compositions. The electric piano in the beginning is grouped in 11+11+10, which the effects and Owen's lyricism fit into in an off-kilter three, only for it all to come into clear focus with the drums as being two bars of 4/4! Then the piano drops out, and the only remnant of it ever having been there is the pizzicato (on old beat two). At 3:00 Owen sneaks the piano (this time acoustic) in underneath the violins, then brass and low strings come in playing the big three! The balance of intense rhythm and gorgeous lyricism with subtle effects throughout the whole thing is so perfect and creates this metric metaphor between Owen's freedom to create unrealities (an even three over an uneven beat), and Lewis' subservience to Owen's commands as the storyteller. Owen Pallett is a genius and I don't know what I'm doing with my life.

[@cgb01]

Its incredible

[@xicotencatldna779]

Yup, I wonder what are his thoughts when he plays this song.. what is he thinking at that moment?

[@2b_ricardomanrique12]

Yeaahhh I used to think it was 3/4 😅

[@pepaxxxsvinka3379]

I wish I understood what it means))

[@anderssongy]

Put ur heart in to ur pieces. Bless

[@JosephTheAustin]

Such great writing. Owen Pallett is truly a pioneer. He'll never be mainstream and that should mean more to his self-esteem tan the alternative.

Soy el comentario más reciente. Junio, 2024. Escuchando esta majestuosidad!

[@martinezperez8502]

lo que owen hace aquí es simplemente increíble

[@braidata]

I believe that what produces the cataris beyond the art is the enormous genius in every detail - from the words to the deep sound tempos.

[@betomeza81]

this song is one of the reasons why i love music. can't describe what makes me feels. amazing.

[@CarlosGarcia-fv8gy]

Había descubierto esta canción hace aproximadamente cuatro años atrás, qué grato volver a escucharla después de tanto tiempo.

[@ConfusedQandolack]

I love Owen Pallett his songs always bring out the feelings I didn't even know existed. I love this song

[@AKHETAMEN]

This is beyond words, beyond metrics, beyond qualifications. This is just benignly beautiful, exquisite and pleasing to the eyes and the ears.

[@Tinkeroftime]

Owen Pallete, sir, you're like magic. And that's such a fantastic thing. Thank you

[@nibyafternight1983]

I can't never get tired of this song

[@rodilataoyaranga7090]

me sorprende bastante esta composición, es un genio.

Those strings at the end, lol, I was immediately saying in my head "giving the covenant back their bomb, sir."

[@graciep0tter]

This man does the world a great service via his music.

[@BrunoSantos-mk1uc]

Owen is my favorite artist,the first Owen song that i heard was "This is the Dream of Win and Régine",was instant crush with his music. Owen,come to Brasil!

[@sohakes]

I read that and I thought " Ohh, I commented here already". Same thing here, my favorite artist too, one of the first musics I loved was This is the Dream of Win and Regine, and I'm brazilian too :P. He came here already, but I didn't know him at that time. Search for Owen Pallett Sesc. Anyway, I went to Toronto (Ciências sem Fronteiras) and I watch his show there last year! He is an amazing guy! Hope to see him again here on Brazil too.

[@BrunoSantos-mk1uc]

This video and song always get me. How come you can always make me cry, Owen?

[@badarts]

Guys. Guys. This is excellent. Congratulations all around.

[@edinburghchannel6837]

Si el rock y el pop se están muriendo es debido a que no salen más canciones así estos años. Esta música es EVOLUCIÓN. Hacen falta más artistas así.

Hey... Owen's music rules. Can anyone recommend a band to me that is similar in complexity to Owen Pallett's music? I really like Anathallo too. And Sufjan Stevens. But I need more orchestration in my music, not even necessarily an orchestra... Just more creativity, ambition, talent, and applied knowledge. Can anyone help me? I'm getting a bit desperate! :(

[@kellyofearth2092]

I know this is seven years old, the comment.. But Amanda palmer make beautiful music with orchestral backing. Her lyrics are very meaningful to me. You might enjoy her music, if you haven't heard of her yet.

[@Kiwinil]

@TbTReviews lol, I love how you think I'm from England... if you had any worldly knowledge, you'd realise otherwise, from my username. And sorry if my comment offended anyone, it was just me putting in a bit of cheek into a debate that was raging half a year ago. :P
