    Remastered by João Carvalho at Revolution
    Includes a download card to the digital deluxe edition of this release

    Domino is pleased to announce a remastered reissue of Owen Pallett’s early catalogue. Pallett has built a reputation on live virtuosity, as violinist for the many local Toronto bands, followed by the wild looped-violin songwriting solo project. Has a Good Home serves as an introduction (and features many of Pallett’s best-known songs), and the follow-up He Poos Clouds is a string quartet album based on the Dungeons & Dragons School of Magic, and was awarded the inaugural Polaris Music Prize.

    Please note: Any purchases of the digital album previously made via Owen Pallett's Bandcamp has been the remastered audio.

    Includes unlimited streaming of Has A Good Home via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

Took you two years to win my heart 

Then two words to break it 

The love you ignited 
you fire-fighted and roared 

Bellowing into the rainy night 



They say heartbreak is good for the skin 

But all that it's helped is my drinking 

Picking fights with myself and my friends 

And my friends threatening to do me in 



Took you two years to win my heart 

Then two words to break it 

More surprising than two years of lying is how
People let you get away with it 



Saturday sleep-ins with no distractions 

Summer sun and songbirds 

Once kept afloat by the popular vote, now 

Blotted out by your two words 

Mighty Leon, wind the tape 

And be sure of one thing 

Every song from a heart this mangled 

Will be draped in strings, strings, strings
