Final Fantasy's Stars Mix: "Your Ex-Lover Is Dead"

Final Fantasy's remix of Stars' "Your Ex-Lover Is Dead" is amazing. Starting off with what sounds like a mix of adults and little kids saying the Stars intro of "When there's nothing left to burn, you have to set yourself on fire," a burst of violins follows and then morphs into a delicate piano backdrop. Owen Pallett definitely does the song right, creating a very different atmosphere than the original version, both haunting and magical at the same time. The violin is the perfect accompaniment to Torquill and Amy's vocals.
