High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Your Ex-Lover Is Dead was the sixth single released by the Canadian indie pop group Stars. It is the opening track on the album, Set Yourself on Fire. The track begins with the voice of lead singer Torquil`s father Douglas Campbell saying, "When there is nothing left to burn, you have to set yourself on fire." The song was listed as the 298th best song of the 2000s by Pitchfork Media. The music video shows the band lying on their backs, playing their instruments, while on ice outdoors. The video is reminiscent of scenes from the 2004 film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
