Ageless Beauty Your Ex-Lover Is Dead It's Alchemy!

Your Ex-Lover Is Dead was the sixth single put out by the Canadian indie pop group Stars. It was offered as the Free Single of the Week on the online music store iTunes.

It is the first song on the Set Yourself on Fire album. The track opens 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 featured on the Season 5 finale of the popular Canadian teen drama series Degrassi: The Next Generation

[edit] Music Video

The music video for this single features the band laying 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.
