Further information on (1) entry below:
The Canadian musician decided to stop using this moniker in December 18th, 2009 and start using his own name, Owen Pallett, as he planned to release his third album in the Japanese market, where the name 'Final Fantasy' may have conflicted with the famous video game franchise. He also announced that previous albums will be re-released under his name
Owen Pallett is a violinist and singer from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. He is the principal member of the band Final Fantasy, which is essentially a solo group, although Leon Taheny is also credited as drummer and engineer. (This band should not be mistaken with Square Enix's famous game series "Final Fantasy" - its music is mostly composed by 植松伸夫. The name "Final Fantasy" is in fact a tribute to the well-known video game series.) On September 18th 2006, Final Fantasy won the inaugural Polaris Music Prize for the best Canadian album (based solely on artistic merit).
Pallett has been noted for his live performances, wherein he plays the violin into a sampler controlled by foot pedals, which then loops back one or more of the previously played musical phrases as he plays additional parts simultaneously. He has also performed with more traditional string quartets as backing musicians.
He believes his work is somewhat influenced by his sexuality, saying "As far as whether the music I make is gay or queer, yeah, it comes from the fact that I'm gay, but that doesn't mean I'm making music about it." in a recent interview.
"I'm taking a cue from Joel Gibb," he begins. "He and I are very different people, and we're very different in terms of the way we've assessed our sexual identities, but one thing I really respect about him is that his music has less to do with his identity and more to do with the more interesting aspects of himself." He states in an earlier interview in Toronto's NOW Magazine concerning his sexual identity and its use in his music.
On 12 February 2005, his debut album, Final Fantasy Has A Good Home, was released by the recording club Blocks (sometimes referred to as 'BlocksBlocksBlocks'), a cooperative, Toronto-based record label of which he is a member. A second album is entitled "He Poos Clouds", and inspiration for the songs are based on the eight schools of magic used for Dungeons & Dragons and how they relate to modern times. It is released under Tomlab.
His previous projects included a 3-piece Toronto-based band, Les Mouches, now defunct. He is still a member of another Toronto band called Picastro. Owen has also recorded and toured with The Hidden Cameras and The Arcade Fire. One of his songs, "This Is the Dream of Win & Regine", was inspired by the principal members of the latter group, Win Butler and Régine Chassagne, and a Dntel song of a similar name (This is the Dream of Evan & Chan). Owen also co-wrote the orchestral arrangements for both of The Arcade Fire's albums, along with Régine Chassagne.

Final Fantasy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But there's no romance in my blood
Try, try, you'll never persuade me
My only tears fall with the rain
My father had a dozen wives
And a child by every one
I am from about, umm, number five
Try, try, try to arrange me
But there's no romance in my blood
Try, try, you'll never persuade me
My only tears fall with the rain
My mother never takes a break
From her pining after furniture
Every moment on her feet is torture
And I share her love of wine and cake
And taking advantage of amateurs
The song "Furniture" by Final Fantasy is an emotional one that speaks about the singer's reluctance to be controlled and arranged as per someone else's wishes. The lyrics emphasize that there's no romance in their blood, stating that no one can persuade them to be arranged. The lyrics are reflective of someone who has a history of living life on their terms, someone who has been shaped by their past experiences that have made them difficult to control.
The verse, "My father had a dozen wives" gives an insight into the singer's background and upbringing, which significantly influences their attitude and outlook on life. The next line "And a child by every one" adds depth to the statement, highlighting the emotional and psychological impact of having a large family with multiple stepmothers and half-siblings. The singer is from one of the wives down the line, which suggests a fractured family dynamic and a lack of a strong bond between them. The lines "So don't expect me to stay with anyone" and "My only tears fall with the rain" further emphasizes the singer's intensity of emotion and the difficulty in trusting others due to their past experiences.
Overall, the message of "Furniture" is about owning one’s identity and refusing to be easily arranged or coerced. The singer's history and life experiences are a significant contributing factor that has made them fiercely independent and self-reliant. The use of furniture and pining after it by the mother in the song can also be seen as a metaphor to describe the singer's reluctance to be objectified and objectification in general.

Try, try, try to arrange me
I am not someone who can be easily controlled or manipulated
But there's no romance in my blood
I am not interested in a romantic relationship
Try, try, you'll never persuade me
It is futile to try to change my mind or opinion
My only tears fall with the rain
I am not one to show emotion
My father had a dozen wives
My family background is complex and non-traditional
And a child by every one
My father had many children with his various wives

So don't expect me to stay with anyone
I am independent and not interested in settling down or committing to one person
My mother never takes a break
My mother is constantly focused on something, in this case it is furniture
From her pining after furniture

Every moment on her feet is torture
My mother is always on her feet and it takes a toll on her
And I share her love of wine and cake
I enjoy indulging in the pleasures of life, such as wine and sweets, just like my mother
And taking advantage of amateurs
I am not above using my skills to my advantage and exploiting those who are inexperienced or naive

Hey guys! I check all my videos after every major patch to make sure they still work. If you’re having trouble, here are the most common issues people run into and how to fix them!
1. Can’t lower the wooden loft far enough: Make sure you’re using a stage panel or white rectangular partition. Anything with trim/paneling will be a problem.
2. The item won’t stay put: Make sure you’re rotate locking! If you do that and it still doesn’t work, you may need to lift the item higher—all furnishings will snap back to the floor if they’re too close to it.
3. The item won’t lift with a wooden loft: Some furnishings arbitrarily won’t respond to a wooden loft. In that case, use the technique in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOcUiS31MmU
4. Can’t access the subcommand menu: Make sure you have the keybinds set up! My videos all use default settings, but if you have changed them or need to, they’re in System > Keybind > System.

thank you
@kogv4693
What are you supposed to do if the object youre floating isnt rotatable once you get it up?
@girlygeekmedia8771
@@kogv4693 Sorry for missing this! Everything that you can float with this glitch should be rotatable, though things are sometimes a pain in the butt to highlight and it just takes patience. I've found that sometimes things glitched through other things need your cursor to be in really weird places for them to highlight.
I do know this can be more of a problem on PS4/5, so if that's the case, use the virtual mouse mode (L1+R3, I believe) to select and rotate.
@Edax_Royeaux
@@girlygeekmedia8771 Is there any way to lift furniture low enough that it'll be at the height of a stage on the ground? Without it the furniture automatically sticking itself back to the groundlevel?
@sommes5696
The partition bit was what helped solve the issue, thank you! I'm new to this so it was a big help!
@Ricecakes520
It's unbelievable to me that SE still hasn't added a feature to manipulate furniture on 3 axes and players have to glitch the game to get the results that they want. Thank you for this tutorial! Hopefully I can make my house look cute like yours!
@pasteldreams5413
I'm really hoping that there's a housing update before the Ishgardian restoration completes that fixes this as well as the terrible housing system in general.
@Zakjuh
This and also the ability to selectively move on certain axes. Sometimes, I just wanna move it on the x axis and not the y.
@spoobsforbs6643
So helpful with super clear instructions! For people who aren't able to make it work the key for me was to make sure you remove the loft into your inventory everytime. I couldn't make it work otherwise! Follow her steps in this to the T and you're golden.
