The track, still coming at over the seven-minute mark, is not extensively reworked. The orchestra takes over some of the minimalist composition and melodic elements while Owl Eyes croons above. The performance, however, is packed with emotion and reaches its apex towards the end when\u00a0the arrangement veers most heavily from the original, with a cathartic release of the entire orchestra rising up and increasing the energy. It&#8217;s a truly inspired performance and available to watch in full above.<\/p><p><iframe\nsrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/y8Ndi955iuY\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p><p><b>Read More:<\/b><\/p><p><a\nhref=\"http:\/\/dancingastronaut.com\/2015\/05\/flight-facilities-earth-sean-glass-remix\/\">Flight Facilities \u2013 Down To Earth (Sean Glass Remix)<\/a><\/p><p><a\nhref=\"http:\/\/dancingastronaut.com\/2015\/03\/flight-facilities-earth-feat-sam-rockwell\/\">Watch This: Flight Facilities \u2013 Down To Earth feat.
