Chris Garneau "Relief" Music Video

[8888album]

I cry..........

[JayAnAye]

perfection!

[shotterslife]

what i`d give for to know the chords....is anybody so talented to hear this by ear?

if so, please contact me!

[DianaYesNoMaybe]

@shotterslife

Hey! I know the chords! If you are interested, tell me!

[xfrenchiexD]

oh my, you're so perfect..

[HisagiShuhei]

I love Chris Garneau.

By the way on his site does that owl have a penis as a nose?

[CrayzeeTay17]

To be honest, i dont know how people think he sounds like a girl...? Im not hearing that.

[ESTUPERIDI0]

i thought he was a girl when i listened the song. his voice is like a girl

[Felix510209]

24 people must be constipates because they're not relieved yet : \

[phoenixfirevortex]

i  like the song so much!!

[MarlonOwnsYourCake]

He REALLY sounds like a chick. I like it, but wow.

[CellarDoorEssentials]

@matmos01 Do we have to choose between whore gays and sad gays? Both sound just awful. Also, Chris Garneau is the shit and always will be

[matmos01]

@CellarDoorEssentials You can always start to listen Britney Spears.

[CellarDoorEssentials]

@matmos01 Noo!!! :P

[matmos01]

@CellarDoorEssentials Yes, Chris is girlish, he's not so original (this kind of expression is characteristic to many good artists like Elliot Smith, Cat Power, etc.), he's not even a very good singer (I think he's intelligent and he knows that), even critics don't like him very much (most of "Music for tourists" reviews in music magazines were unfavourable for him). So why I still think, that Chris music has that exceptional and separate sensitivity?

[matmos01]

@CellarDoorEssentials The answer is in his lyrics. You just listen it and you start expedition for land of real sadness, without inverse ticket.

[CellarDoorEssentials]

@matmos01 Wait, I think you've misunderstood me.... I said "Chris Garneau is teh shit and always will be" That was a positive statement meaning, "he's awesome." Sorry if I confused you with an American colloquialism.

[caerestapermitido]

La canción es hermosa, "Si odias algo cubre tus oídos, cierra los ojos y deja que los demás lo amen"

[WAYNEkersh]

Not being a hater or anything just simply my opinion -- Worst song /singer I have ever herd.

[goriasxy]

'I didn't go to see the city; I went to see it around you.' <3

[lirit18]

is he playing the violin? amazing, amazing, a-m-a-z-i-n-g!

[matmos01]

He's some kind a new music icon for neurotic, sad, intellectual gays, which don't act like whores and don't like Lady Gaga. 

[MrSollicitationis]

Crimen Sollicitationis

[stonebirdsmusic]

I JUST REALIZED SOMETHING this isn't the album version

[SpunkyMonSTAR]

Lone live baroque pop and folk/carnival music. Because we live in the weird and we are damn proud.

[hawskin]

love your voice!

[laru09]

He is so cute, so so so tender... i would steal him and put him on my bedside table

[blind0angel]

If he were more famous, would be some shit like Lady Gaga or something like that*

[ishtarboy3001]

I am completely and utterly in love with this man.

[Harianderica]

Me to

[xzeuqx]

...i heart...

[tangerine1991]

[iluvmyichild91]

How many versions of this song(by chris garneau) are there? the itunes version is different from this and so is the absolutely kosher etc...

[kristineahn]

just saw him live hours ago!!! omg each song he performs is like a theater act with its own plot! So much emotion and drama in them =) I loved his session and I bought his CD! yay!

[pistorio79]

Such a beautiful song, Chris Garneau makes really good music.

[D3viluti0n]

I think he is cute

[clydouw]

He's amazing .

[alymcdougall]

[binarysolo2]

2:11 ...compelling.

[SixLuckyDays]

i love chris garneau! i'm addicted to this song, he is amazing!!

[Robertking1996]

FUCKING MOST SADDEST,and MOST BEAUTIFUL SONG EVER.

[Yesz11]

this is so freaking beautiful.

[VictorVienna]

The Early Version Is Awesome

[Twobitgangster]

He's so sexy and exquisite. Currently my favorite singer/songwriter.

[franbeec]

I think I just fell in love with this singer/songwriter! Thanks for posting :)

[SaraDeSade]

I am addicted to this amazing song.

[withinhouyhnhnm]

or if he were straight. or bi. or whatever.

but from what i know he's gay.

[withinhouyhnhnm]

it matters because people like to identify with people who are like themselves and because people are just naturally curious. there's nothing wrong with that.

it is wrong if people don't like him or his music simply because he is gay though.

[HijodeHola24]

Totally agree with your words, dude!

[justmissj]

I'm always amazed at how much people care if someone is straight or gay.....what difference does it make?

[bellycha]

omg he's perfect

[gorfabjm]

Where can I download or buy the live version of this? It sounds better than this one. Pls help!

[ManginaHole]

Is he gay, straight, or bi? o_O

[shaynescope]

wouldn't really matter anyways, i think he's straight but that's just me.

[ManginaHole]

I'm just curious.

[jszczepaniak]

he's gay.

[ManginaHole]

Thank you :)

[pinkasapeach]

@jszczepaniak aren't they all...

[laru09]

@jszczepaniak that makes me love him more!

[fckdalii]

@jszczepaniak there was any doubt

[XXBUGSY12]

He's gay.

And he's my hero.

[Salengot]

Why do you care???o__O

[FastforwardTheRewind]

"I didn't go to see the city, I went to see it around you"

That line made me 'awe' out loud.

[TwilightBabe158]

Dude.

When he sings the "I didnt go to see the city" bit, he looks so damn sexy ;D

[Cloud10v35Aerith]

He's AMAZING! Jason Mraz sings so well with his gitar but Garneau is awesome with his piano

[ABSODEZ]

Went to school with Chris...always was a very talented man.

[Cloud10v35Aerith]

that is so cool!

[TwilightBabe158]

Omg. That is amazing...

Were you close?

[ABSODEZ]

not at all...I knew him, he knew me, it was a small school, but our social circles were very different. I may have even possibly been a dick to him (not quite sure) but I did apologize when I matured. I remember when he sang "The Freshman" at our school...absolutely amazing. But nah...not close at all.

[TwilightBabe158]

That's a shame ):

As it is in every school, I'm afraid. Social class is everything in school, in every generation too.

The Freshman? Did he write it? Or was it a cover?

It's funny, because talent makes us think different of people.

[ABSODEZ]

nah its a Verve song...but yea...fortunately at College a lot of people grow up and I made some great friends who otherwise would've been in far too different a clique to talk to...from "Thugs" to "Geeks" and I'd die for any of them.

[Sal0pe69]

wow, okay, i just heard him on so you think you can dance Canada, and i hadn't seen the name just the title, and i thought it was a woman... :O still good song though

[skeeterart]

yeah, he sounds very imogen heap-ish:D

[hiphopdontloveu]

he is an amazing artist. seen him live last night...

[homogenic97]

Just saw him live and I have to say he is so nice in person.  Just chatting with the audience and very humble. He is so sweet and talented just wish more people would know.

[ElysianxFields]

i love this song. Chris' got such an amazing VOCAL!!!!!

need to put this as my ringtone!

[magicskarf]

gorgeous.

[dquety123]

can someone explain this song to me? haha i sort of get it...

im doing a dance to this song this year its so cool(:

[Ceridwen86]

Loveee

[IAmCelery28]

Anyone know where to get the sheet music for this song?

[JBbabies123]

i dont understand the music video...i do a dance to this song:)

[uriu2b]

Jejejejeje good!!!!!! I just meet you....have you got albums???' so goodd.

[rospiltore]

Check out El Radio - the new record!

[paintedsilverwing]

beautiful song :) i really like his fragile voice and the piano-playing.

[1queondaguey]

This guy should be huge....because his music is like liquid poetry.

[TwilightBabe158]

@1queondaguey

Wow. That comparison actually gave me chills :O

:D

[amberlovescherrys]

@1queondaguey

yes i totally agree with you! But the sad truth is that most non-popular singers are the BEST singer artists!!!!!!!!! Hope he gets more famous SOON!

[vmpyre]

@amberlovescherrys Does fame really cares? If he enjoys doing his music, and if you enjoy listening to it, what else matters?

[tjonmcd]

@1queondaguey Why is it a liquid?

[afhdfh]

@tjonmcd Probably so you can bathe in it. ;)

[EliseMoureau]

@1queondaguey he's pretty cute too.

[Kinnetic94]

really amazing voice!

i first saw this video on LOGO and fell inlove with it. He looks amazingly adorable in that shirt

[Duschibuschi]

amazing !

[x00eVe00x]

I love him so much. I mean his voice and his songs are perfect. :)

[xXAntiDepressantXx]

Wow, isn't he brilliant?

[jimmyfarrellmusic]

This CD is amazing! I need to get the others. Awesome song!

[fuzzy2413]

if anybody has piano sheetmusic 2 this song plz tell me!

[jadelove277]

im choreographing a lyrical piece to this song. i absolutely love it

[kevinmcdade]

amazing, beautiful and addictive

[11838smith]

one of the best chill songs ever.

the music video is ok. I dont think this song needs a music video though

[b4lue35]

You're absolutely write it speaks for itself

[zeldacrap]

i mean that's not the exactly one in the album,anyway,i love the song

[zeldacrap]

that's not his voice......

[lilydog147]

FUCK YOU ! YES IT ISSSSSSSSSSSS

[sandyscez]

was that shot at barney's beanery?

[adelaince]

(inlove)... CG is my god :}

[fireworksparks]

i love his music.

but my first impression of his voice was a girl singing...

[CowboyCliche]

"I didn't go to see the city. I went to see it around you."

Sad, beautiful, poignant line.

[sweetlauras]

thank you for send me this video is beautiful.Lauraxx

[SandraMeirelles]

Beautiful song, thank you for sharing !

[Zyrny]

Its we can work it all out!

[AntiCharlotte]

only a few ppl have watched this video ,what a shame .others only care about britney n paris hilton and celebrities like them .but look,this is real music ,indeed

[rokbom]

Very Sufjan Stevens-y. I like it.

[b4lue35]

I love the simplicity of this video its not gimicky!!!!

[xtrait2lux]

Cela fait maintenant pas mal de temps que je connais cet artiste,quel plaisir de voir enfin un clip,j'attends le prochain concert en france avec impatience aprés le concert au theatre de la bastille et le concert des artistes fargo records,a chaque fois c'est un enchantement,tellement magique

[jszczepaniak]

I'm so glad you like it!

[mikewaters2]

I knew the music of Chris just this week and I can't stop listen to him. I Like those sort of whispers when he sing XD haha and of course his buddy... the piano.

[reinsnes1]

this guy had a consert in "garage" bergen,norway with no other band members.. its was really good. but he seemed kinda confused:)

[mangosalado]

the friend who recommended me this video will have to invite someday to this bar in New York!!! :)

I won't go for the gays, of course, but for the lesbians!!! :D

Funny video, by the way!! ;)

[CocteauBoyTV]

That's a bar, but a diner. It represents parts of NYC very accurately, actually, and it's not supposed to be funny, but poignant. I find the smiles and sighs to carry a deep undercurrent of heartbreak, just like the song.

[DylanDerwn]

is that true? I heard he is completely obssesed with sex, and looks for any handsome man after his concerts to spend the night with him...X_x but he looks so shy and quiet...=/

[airportecology]

that was hauntingly beautiful

[BloodyMoniker]

woah, don't EVER tie the word emo with this song, nor this genre... EVERRRRR

[SouthernFriedFreak]

Yeah, bro. the art of feeling music has been lost to the ignorance of the guy who first spread the words: "That shits' fuckin' emo."

Monsieur Garneau is a brilliant artist.

[Dance11896]

MY NEW FAVORITE SONG!!!(copied someone!) We do a dance to this!!! I love it!!!

[kattdancer777]

:O

Chris Garneau is a genius

[ALEXAHHHHHH]

A little obsessed with this song.

"I didn't go to see the city,

I went to see it around you."

Incredible.

[Cuntouchable]

my favourite line from this song. :)

[imnotgoing2usethis]

My favorite line.

[liltrogdor]

wait so chris is.. really gay?

[b4lue35]

yeah :-P

[liltrogdor]

hmm.. dunno what i think of that.. ig nothing, he sings well so who gives a fuck haha

[ayellowsong]

I love this so much.

[Micahxx]

Chris Garneu is one of my favorite artists, and he's so cute :]

[Pacrat0684]

Is that Karin Dreijer Andersson from The Knife at 2:52?

[ultrasteez]

by farr my favortie song of his!!

such an amazing voice!

and the lyrics are amazing...

[theleroy28]

is he supposed to be gay?

[Micahxx]

he is gay.

[nicknice1985]

LOVE!

[samek25]

myspace dot c o m/sundaymailman

^if you want more of that styled music, stop by and listen here :)

1:30, lol. nice

are all the women supposed to be trannies?

[madibadifofadi92]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!

[fanf2rennes]

Ce beau jeune homme passe ce soir à Rennes (France) dans le cadre du festival "Les tombés de la nuits" dans une petite église transformée en théâtre. Je trépigne d'impatience. Ca va surement être un bon moment musical.

[KevinSundahl]

Jag tror att du er en underbara kille fra Brooklyn. Din stem och Musik er skitbra! Hoppas att ha chasen att se dej i person.

[theodoreloveball]

qué bien canta y qué guapo es!

[playgroundschannel]

Beautiful song and great video!

[b4lue35]

I love the lyrics in this song "I'll never ask, I'll never ask again" beautiful tone and emotion.

[treewhore]

seeing him live this friday (may 2nd).

so excited! great voice

[kisscatastrophe]

finally an openly gay singer/songwriter who is talented *and* adorable!

yay

[myllib1988]

rufus wainwright

[midone]

I want to go to a restaurant where Chris Garneau sings as he cleans my table and checks up tranny's skirts! Ha! Brilliant song, brilliant video...lighting, cast, location... A+!

[septemberxfades]

me too! Lol

[jgre87e]

hAHAHa!!!! me too!!!!!!

tell me when!!!

[wuchtek]

To Ellovinci!

I hear: Asswiedersehn. It´s probably "Auf Wiederseh´n" (=Auf Wiedersehen), German for "So long".

[wuchtek]

I checked the lyrics. I seem to have been totally mistaken. It´s: They shuffeled in, asked me to sin, asked me to sin in red.

[ElloVinci]

Got it! Thx~

[ed1park]

Sometimes he sings it that way and ends with Goodnight. Like from the Sound of Music.

[ElloVinci]

I like this song. But who can tell me the lyrics between 1:30--1:35? And this version seems a little different from the other official version I heard? anyway, it's good!

[kowtpr187]

asked me to sin asked me to sin in red

[b4lue35]

"they shuffle in ask me sin ask me to sin in red"

[Madem0iselleSarah]

C'est magique <3

[sweetlydying]

i love this guys music

[DevianceGOTP]

Do you think the song would work well on guitar? I'm thinking of transcribing it but my fear of the loss of the songs quality is holding me back...

[lokronembourg]

cette chanson est pleine d'émotion je ne conaissé pas se chanteur mais cette chanson m'a donné envie de le decouvrir
