Final Fantasy

Final Fantasy - This Modern Love (Bloc Party cover)

This is making its way around various blogs, but is worth posting again for others to see and hear a song writeen by and then performed by two bands who have CDs that are definately cracking the top 10 of the year for me.

The original Bloc Party version "This Modern Love" is already an awesome 4 minute epic modern ballad (maybe a classic someday), so it is hard to top. Owen Pallet takes the song and turns it into his own, looping string part after string part like he does is own songs. He breathes new life into a song that was already very much alive. He makes it sound like a Final Fantasy song. A really good Final Fantasy song.

People laugh in the beginning, as he plucks away the notes, obviously giving the song away. But these people are quickly silenced. I can't think of anyone else who could cover this as well.

Enjoy.
