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.

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...
