Ooooh, I don't know what is worse... know he's coming but knowing you can't get or go (helps that he was no where near) OR - just finding out that he was was JUST there and you could have gone. I'm feelin' for ya! OWEN COME BACK!!!!!
To be fair, this was a party for an Irish music magazine - which closed shortly after. Everyone knew each other, everyone was a huge fan of both Owen and Joanna Newsom, and everyone was pissed. I don't think Owen minded too much. He had a great time afterward dancing along to Girl Talk (check out my other vids, he's in the crowd leaping around).
I saw this guy live and he played this song, i was totally hooked, took me months to figure out which song this was but i eventually listened to the original and loved it (after a couple listens)
As nice as it is to listen to a Joanna Newsom song in silence. You can always do that, its very rare that you go anywhere and have a whole room singing to her song. My only regret about this video is that i wasnt there singing too :(
have seen this clip so many times over the years. It made me discover Owen and it made me appreciate Joanna even more. The raw characteristics of this clip make me think of a guy that is recognized for what he likes. An awesome song that he plays in his own way. acceptance, really. Both Owen and Joanna have grown to legendary status in my book although where I come from, no one knows either and I'm considered a fool for playing them for mostly narrow minded folks. God bless the internet in situations like this but most of all... bless Owen and Joanna EDIT: this happened 12 years ago.. 12 fucking years???? holy shite. EDIT2: I made a comment 7 years ago as well??
Here in 2024. And this song being played to such a happy and joyful crowd. This song reminds me of really sad things, letting them pass and the happiness despite it.
@ThroneMonkey It's filmed on a still digital camera, a Sony Cybershot DSC-W55. The picture on them isn't actually great in low light, even for still photos, but the sound is extremely clear (if mono) for a small camera. Not sure how the more recent Cybershots compare, mines about 2 years old.
Hey Gareth, was just searching around for Final Fantasy stuff and noticed you took this one. Saw him play last night. I would have liked to see him in Whelans.
Most record stores should have Owen's CD's, released under the name 'Final Fantasy'. This song is a Joanna Newsom cover, from her 'Milk Eyed Mender' LP.
hahahahahahahahahaha. lol that stop in the middle made me laugh cuz i have tried to introduce my friends to joanna and no one really likes her as much as i do
This is friggin awesome. But it just seems kind of odd that a crowd of people know that song word for word. lol. Just a bunch of random people know Joanna Newsom. haha She's beautifully amazing but I wouldn't have guessed a lot of people would know her music. Good stuff...
Oh, the crowd knows every word. This is beautiful...
*happy tear*
I love this version so much, I think the audience is far from being arrogant, it is feeding him energy.
Wow, this gig looks like it had the most amazing atmosphere. Envy.
This video is one of my favorite things in the world.
Amazing to hear people sing along to a Joanna Newsom song! :D
I love how he stops in the middle of the song. That's so epic!
lulz weird to hear a whole audience sing along to Joanna
:D
I could watch this video 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. I'm obsessed and have been for years with this video.
Ooooh, I don't know what is worse... know he's coming but knowing you can't get or go (helps that he was no where near) OR - just finding out that he was was JUST there and you could have gone. I'm feelin' for ya!

It's lovely

Oh, his voice is beautiful! He seems quite fun!
i like to watch this because it looks and soulds like everyone is having such a good time!
I love it.
And I love how he just stops in the middle =)

dublin gigs are just the best
I wish Owen Pallett played Whelans every week.
Great cover, and I love that he kept the rhythm interesting as Joanna did. You can really hear his love for the original!
I LOVE OWEN PALLET!! that was funny!!
This is still one of my favorite things that has ever happened. "Who was right?"
The section from 2:12 to 2:46 is GODLY. I love the way he keeps layering the melodies upon each other.
hahaha! this dude is cool! me and my wife would totally go see this dude play
You were right Owen, you were right.
I hope I can be this cool of a live performer, hell yeah man!
This is absolutely exquisite and the energy is palpable. No wonder this is his favourite venue!
This guy is awsome.
Yes Owen!! Go!!!!!!

Makes me so glad to have randomly shot this

unreal talent
I can’t believe this is 15 years ago…
You've inspired me to learn to play the violin. Iv'e watched this video again and again. Im buying it today.
hahah i love how he stops in the middle of it to go "now who was right?"
It is so good
That gave me massive goosebumps!! What a joy!
He's so amazing!
WICKED! Sampling a violin, it sounds amazing. Discovered this guy through Beirut (Cliquot). A true talent, my new idol.
I was at that gig, such a savage cover and savage gig.
This performance makes my life better. : )
made my whole night when he played this
god this is just so incredible
his voice is so glorious. :) (naturally i might add!)
wow amazingness at its best
i love it!
Damn talented genius
my god this is amazing.
OMG, WHY ARE THOSE PEOPLE NOT MY FRIENDS! WHYYYYY!
"I'm like nananana" x D
Love him!!
nice the contest, the violin. You've got charisma, congratulation!
What a talented cutie.
awesome cover
thats wonderful.

VEY VERY NICE

love this 1,000,000xs over
NANANANANANANANANA 😂❤
A song turned beautiful....
A true Artist.......
Thank You for YOUR version Owen Pallett
Well, I would argue the song was already beautiful, but he certainly does it justice!
This cover makes the song much more accessible than Newsom's version. It was this version that actually got me into Newsom's work.
Balloooooons! *bounce*
He's amazing.
wow... interesting song to cover...shes very hard to cover...amazing...
Joanna Newsom is amazing
She was on the last episode of Brooklyn Nine Nine!
@@Plant_Parenthood no waaaay
@@martalobos7822 way :D
It's weird, after I listen to one of your songs, I find myself wishing it wasn't over. Like I wish they could go on forever..
That's what's fun at concerts.
I love a violin
i guess i love that guy
after hearing her version, then this version, i agree
super dope
Sweet cover
really really cool. great song and an odd choice to cover (as was mentioned). I have an awful lot of respect for OP.
I so want to see him live, he's coming ALL the way to Australia but he's NOT playing Brisbane. SO annoyed!
I think the only thing I dislike about this is his timing on 'swallowing panic in the face of it's force', and the violin squeals he makes.
very nice cover, didn't think anyone would be able to play it so well. The violin part sounds crazy though, hah.
i want to see you live
Okay that's pretty badass. I had to watch it twice to realize he was using a peddle lol.
A MA ZING. At least 50 views are to my name by now.
near to best
huh, cool sound, I think if I was there I'd probly be going crazy too.
He has an abbreviated version of the Arcade Fire haircut! Awesome.
Hey Gareth, was just searching around for Final Fantasy stuff and noticed you took this one. Saw him play last night. I would have liked to see him in Whelans.
Love his Van Halen shirt
come to brasil
Let's go jogging Owen.
This cover is beautiful. Fuck.
@orangejuicedisco You're a funny guy. Thanks for the laugh!
@NotWinter I'm right handed and I play that way too.
Most record stores should have Owen's CD's, released under the name 'Final Fantasy'. This song is a Joanna Newsom cover, from her 'Milk Eyed Mender' LP.
i can see owen pallett being in a metal band
It's on the début Joanna Newsom album 'The Milk Eyed Mender'.
@dhruvsach me too!
that was a good cover
hahahahahahahahahaha. lol that stop in the middle made me laugh cuz i have tried to introduce my friends to joanna and no one really likes her as much as i do
have you heard the original by joanna newsom? it's uncanny
This is friggin awesome. But it just seems kind of odd that a crowd of people know that song word for word. lol. Just a bunch of random people know Joanna Newsom. haha She's beautifully amazing but I wouldn't have guessed a lot of people would know her music. Good stuff...
Joanna Newsom? Joanna AWESOME!
I'm sorry about that, I've commented that on like a thousand Newsom videos, I'm trying to make it catch on :)
I like the original but owen's is my favourite version of the song.
lol! #laughinglast.
No way. Emily!
Or rather; did he cover hers or did she cover his? Oh to be able to type.
@Pathetiico

My palm meets my face in a most painful fashion.
@magus17 You may also enjoy Andrew Bird. Look up "Why?" and "Anonanimal" live.
Pretty sure this is Jason Schwartzman researching a role in which he has to play a cartoonishly indie musician.
