Music Pick of the Week (1)

I've decided to post a song that I'm obsessed with once a week.  Currently I can't stop listening to an arrangement of the Pixie's song "Where Is my Mind" by Maxence Cyrin.  I first heard it in the soundtrack for "It's Kind of a Funny Story."  Apart from the actual song being absolutely brilliant, Mr. Cyrin does a fabulous job of arranging this song into a piano piece, for example, he splits the chords in the left hand, as a "boom chuck" quality, that makes the arrangement very sophisticated.  It almost gives a better chordal outline or quality than the original, however saying that is blasphemy, so I take it back.  The original "Where Is My Mind" is untouchable.
Below is the video that makes the original song unstoppable: it's the ending scene of Fight Club.  It has to be one the best endings for a film.  Ever.
