#50 Chris Garneau - Babie's Romance

[Cereghini]

Good God...you can feel his pain here so clearly...

[ECCE3094]

merci pour les frissons...



[HisagiShuhei]

I wish I could be his friend. :(

[ForThePriceofACoke]

I just found out about this guy 2 days ago from his Between the Bars cover (im a huge Elliott Smith fan) and im already in love with this guy. He draws you in in an instance with his unique and haunting voice...and his songwriting is out of this world.

[KarottenVieh]

♥ *-*

[tricycle101]

Genuinely finding it hard to see how people could press dislike on this, even if it's not their taste, it's too beautiful to outwardly dislike it.

[jsebsteelguitar]

Magnifique.

Wonderful.

[LazgomaN1]

some kind of crap lmfao has 125 mil views but this has only 180k. Damn, people has no taste.

[kassumss16]

Love him

[NAHDERAH]

9 people are heartless and don't know good music. Everything he sings /performs/composes is just plain perfect <3

[bestbud11d7]

i'm crying. It's so beautiful.

[Pauline22Mer]

horrible



[ninik06]

@Pauline22Mer ???

[kklooser123]

Makes me cry:)

[kassumss16]

Love him,his songs help me go to sleep at peace :)

[pinkduckproductions1]

Gorgous song, but the meaning isn't very clear like I get it but why sing about that anyways it's a beautiful song and his voice is amazing! :)

[lindscrafters]

@pinkduckproductions1 My understanding is that it's about child abuse. Very beautiful, very sad song.

[NeilSilvey]

3:14 did i see clunge

[samlejambon]

@NeilSilvey Wantless you dick.

[xPastryGirlx]

I love him.

[steff8494]

[SebastienSansA]

@o:o1

[GabeeDear]

I love the Cello ^^

[shaynescope]

This song holds too many memories..

[ParoxysmSatisfied]

Peut-on se procurer la partition au piano de Baby's Romance?

Can we get themselves the partition(score) in Baby Romance's piano?

[rub4tub]

i want that piano.

[maribeldomdom]

PRECIOSA

[daftrhetoric]

His voice is beautiful.

[QueenLirpa]

Woah, am I the only one who thinks his voice does NOT match his face? xD I thought it was a little girl singing (or some prepubescent boy) not a full grown man. That being said, haha, I love the song- heard it on Indiefeed.

[jiraya350]

@QueenLirpa Lol his face is actually almost exactly like I imagined him :p

[11princess14]

amazing

love the piano keys!

[pureafricanqueen]

I'm sorry, but whoever disliked this video are either souless robots or people who are just angry at the world.

[WJKPrimsy]

aww this is about his crappy childhood, i wish i could give him a huge hug :'(

[doudounianiadu66]

j'aime la simplicité du clip il n'y a pas d'abut c'est tres bien

[fugitivebakesale]

now fighting's a part of baby's romance

[eagillum]

This song would not be the same without the cello. What a beautiful combination of instruments.

[RubRybnik]

Little did I know I would be cajoled into listening to such sorrowful a song as I have ever listened to. Mull over this.

[JESSIELECTRIK]

I desperately want to collaborate with this man. He is so talented

[korlikus]

fell in love with this inspiring guy..

[worldyoulove23]

What a beautiful voice. He's kind of like the male version of Regina Spektor.

[emilyeatstomatoes]

@worldyoulove23 i think that is exactly what he is.

[friesenried]

@are1you...: I think it will be offset ;)

[InTheEmoCloset]

all i know is that he is an amazing singer/songwriter

[are1you8experienced2]

sh*t!! I accidently rated 3 stars when this deserved 5!!!sorry,!love your music!

[eh414141]

wow. this is really good. i love!

[Michael01Dancer]

You have a brasilian fan now. Congratulation. You play wonderful Things! It's really ART!

[alexplot]

It's so refreshing to see a man who is able to be so fragile so openly.

[SebastienSansA]

@alexplot He was the first part of Cocoon's concert and yeah, it was exactly what you said :)

[maelgwni]

@alexplot it is true strength. <3

[cets2008]

[persefoneazimut608]

[usrnaim]

[nounoursbleu77]

chris garneau au 0palééééeeooooooooooooo!

[spiralisedcat]

magnifique :D beautiful it takes me to that place.

[malloryteee]

at first i didn't like the I know i know now part but im kinda really liking it hahaha awesome job. i wanna marry this dude <3

[spatchycakes]

I'm in the same boat. Really didn't like it at first, but now I really do.

[T3YA303]

amazing......

[oxane79]

Un seul mot : Magnifique

[threeup2]

sick sweater...

[jiniton]

chris is awesome,but i like the album version of this song,it goes I KNOW now I KNOW now,instead of i know NOW i know NOW.its kindda hard to explain it in a comment but try comparing this version and the album one

[gogauyo]

i do agree and understand your point. After earing the original version I prefer the way he speaks instead of this accoustic version. thanks for notice us this

[ManeruMiki]

Yeahhh I know what you mean, like he places the same amount of emphasis on "I know" but he pauses before he says :"now"

The recorded song was more fluid. And that's my favorite part XD

[unautregarcon]

interesting thing, i do understand what you're talking about but i prefer anyway this version to the official one :)

[pakctam]

@unautregarcon He is writing about his own experience of being a child victim by a pedophile.

[ReidMaynard]

Chris Garneau is the king. jjbinks is a 46 year old bitch who starts arguments about beautiful music. Fuck bitches, get money. Thank you.

[semoss50]

he seems like a male version of regina spektor to me. which isn't a bad thing by any means.

i haven't listened to him much yet, but so far i feel like his music would be better with a female voice... maybe i'm just too used to regina. don't get me wrong, his music is pretty good from what i've heard. and he's really cute too... heheh.

[99oh5]

The things i feel when i listen to Chris Garneau are indescribable.

I wish more things in life related to this, but i guess that's what makes it special.

I just love it.

[pheloxenia]

seriously guys. stop fighting? so one doesnt like it and one does. do you have to litter the page with your pmsing? i love this song, and i didnt really come to listen and read some crap about whether its good or not. keep your opinions. neither of you are gonna change your opinion on the song so just drop it and stop trying.

please. be mature.

[jjbinks3]

Anyway, I apologize for hijacking the YouTube page with ridiculous arguments .I would have stopped long ago if it weren't for the outraged reaction I got to a throwaway comment about not liking his music. I don't even dislike it that much. I like lots of famously "sensitive" music,, it's just this and other Chris Garneau pieces I've heard have a self-absorbed crybaby sentiment that I can't identify with (note: crybaby is not intended as an insult--I honestly can't think of a better adjective.)

[kiwi278]

Cette chanson est vraiment superbe!

Quelle harmonie, quelle simplicité, ça en fait une chanson merveilleuse à entendre. On ne s'en lasse pas!

Je suis par contre au désespoir quelqu'un sait comment je pourrai me la procurée?

[SophieEllen2911]

jjbinks3, yes, you are an idiot. Ridiculously so. :)

[20margot]

que lindo

[electrostripes]

chills chills chills

[leinibj]

thats incredibly insensitive.

[johndawgsaulog]

we shall call you......Napoleon.

[totaltjefflamorker]

Wow, You sir are an asshole. Just let people listen to what they want to.

Why are you even taking time of you busy day to write comments like this? Whats the point?

[jjbinks3]

It's pretty hilarious how all the belligerent "but it's my opinion!!!!!!!!!!" people have come out when I never said anything about how people shouldn't listen to what they want to. (That is, as far as I remember, but I may be incorrect, owing to the ridiculous YouTube censorship system that gets flagrantly abused by small-minded people who downvote anything that remotely disagrees with them).

[jjbinks3]

But yes, it should be pretty fucking obvious I'm "letting people listen to what they want to," given I don't have the omnipotence to stop music, or even keep people from listening to their music in peace, far from conflicting opinions and reality (which I assume is what you really meant) since it's pretty easy to simply not read YouTube comments.

And, despite, what you think, I'm not advocating that people shouldn't listen to what they want--I'm simply saying their musical choices are shitty.

[ShanciAhi]

oh and to add ignorance to bliss, because we aren't all apes who had our parents tell us feelings are bad you know music? you truly are a fool, and just by responding i feel less intellgent, but good day i really do wish you luck you obviously need it, if not for better social skills maybe for common sense itself in anything that remotely resembles something of a regular human being. haha good day and get fucked.

[skeeterart]

It's actually not nasaly at all... it's just high. And pretty.

[ShanciAhi]

you are a fucking idiot, hear good music when you hear it. if you think you can classify music by calling it "oversensitive". but hey listen everything can't be layed like the shitty music you listen to? I mean hell if anything has chord progressions you must hate it, in all honesty you are a fucking idiot and i truly do mean that.

[jjbinks3]

ShanciAhi: first of all, I'm having trouble deciphering your drivel, so I apologize for misconstruing the content.

2. Yes, you can classify music as "oversensitive". Music that is mopey, precious, self-consciously profound to the extent it's totally grating.

3. What is "layed shitty music"? "Layed"?

4. Nice try throwing me off by acting like you know fuck all about music, but no, it has nothing to do with chord progressions.

5. Sorry for not being more gentle with you oversensitive sods.

[ShanciAhi]

lol, go listen to some led zepellin, oh and by the way, i'm sorry i didn't have 2 weeks to respond, i had a plane to hawaii :) but at any rate, this music is beautiful, not mopey. i'm sorry it isn't about pussy, if you want oversensitive music go listen to mcr or the other shit that comes out of mainstream music, learn to appreciate music in all it's form, and i do know music, i'm a violinist prodigy, and make my own music, you sir, what have you created you truly are a nobody.

[jjbinks3]

1. I actually wouldn't say mopey is the primary adjective I'd use to describe his music. To be more comprehensive, I'd describe it as prepubescent vocals and lyrics over a generic bittersweet chord arpeggio, backed by a syrupy, sluggish cello that sounds like a dying whale.

2. You say that much of mainstream music is shit, but then you say I should appreciate music in all its forms? Interesting.

3. I'm not famous, if that's what you mean by being a nobody, but I'm sure you aren't either.

[jjbinks3]

4. And seriously, violin *prodigy*? I thought I was talking to someone who simply had poor taste, which is forgivable, but I now realize I'm talking to an arrogant and delusional twit.

5. Good idea though, I will go listen to Led Zeppelin, who are much better musicians than you or what I've seen of Chris Garneau.

[ShanciAhi]

haha, just give up sir, stop trying to twist my comments please, just leave. really, i don't know why i respond to morons, if anything i think it's to educate them. oh well.

[jjbinks3]

If I did indeed "twist" your comments, which I'm having a very hard time seeing, it's because you are very bad at typing fully legible sentences. So either it's a case of your poor command of English or you aren't thinking your thoughts through to check for inconsistencies, hypocrisies, or to keep your ridiculous ego in check.

But good idea, I will leave as I don't particularly want to be educated by you in the art of ignorant dickery.

[ShanciAhi]

A POOR command of english? sir you must be full of yourself. each to his own, but you obviously cannot appreciate good music. but in turn i respond to all your comments in the timeless manner of " i really don't give a flying fuck". and in all honesty what have you contributed to music? i am a violin prodigy, i have been since i was 6, i am now 27. i have yet to see anything you can contribute with the exception of ignorant comments bashing a music style that you cannot fully understand.

[rospiltore]

FAB FAB FAB the new record is also great!

[KatBallante]

His voice just melts my heart. Can't stop listening.

[1queondaguey]

This guy is going to be huge, or least he should be because his music is like liquid poetry.

[Nezesty]

Je ne me lasse pas de cette musique qui résonne si merveilleuse à mes oreilles...

[zensongs]

jolies touches rouges!!

[leaambre]

C'est tellement beau! Je n'ecouterais que ça.

[gothmina2]

c'est vraiment superbe

[jimmy34140]

venez nonbreus sur mon lien sur ma page perso

[Cha33]

Magnifique  <3

[Gaux31]

Ah Chris Garneau. Sa voix est tellement envoutante. Ses mélodies sont magnifique.

Et puis le violoncelle et le piano, le résultat est superbe.

[lovewontchange]

beautiful. the cello is perfect.

[karapuzikable]

Magnifiquement jolie <3

[orottorz]

belle mélodie

[mo33185]

fo faire tourner sa mérite

[bohmisscurieuse]

Magnifique chanson ! Ce morceau de piano est super ! La chanson est vraiment sublime ! Bravo

[JoyHYPE]

BRA-VO

[adel717]

magnifique chanson...

petit message pour VOUS TOUS. allez sur ma page et regardez : "partis si vite" je viens de faire une compo pour rendre un hommage à mon père qui est mort il y a bientôt 2 mois...

merci de me donner vos avis. la chanson m'a beaucoup aidé à tenir...

[Shifty712]

Simplement magnifique !

[Peashifly]

Superbe =)

[TheMrTristan]

Ses tellement beau ...

[leilaturk]

Chris wrote this song in high school, it is about him being sexually abused as a child. In an interview I heard him say that since then he has taken legal action. Truly beautiful and disturbing. Chris is one of a kind.

[ChillpointNews]

That's so strong of him to be able to sing this song.

[mylittlepony375]

I think it's child abuse:

And babys sleeping against you.

I think hed pray for an old motor car.

Or any bed made without you.

[11838smith]

what is this song about?

mabe im stupid ,but i dont understand what the hell this song even means.

its got a cool chorus though.

[almora017]

I think it's about child abuse, could it be? I'd like to know for sure too.

[Jonzie168]

ya i got no idea either

[Aly9205]

to me it's about a neglected love & 2 people who can only find love in a particular way through distractions like drinking & fighting -like their enitre relationship is a mistake their drinking & disagreements are terrible but what comes out of them is beautiful a beautiful mistake (like an unexpected baby) 1 of them already knows all this the other one has just discovered it & continues to go along with the routine for the sake of maintaining their beautiful & horriendous relationship.

[fionappleismylife90]

i've always seen it as an ode to an affair. The singer is sleeping with a married man who has a child. Whenever they meet, the child is there to remind them. He mentions that "If she knew than she'd kill you" which i think is referencing the wife. Also the idea that he'll never tell on his lover.

[jrod3335]

This song is about himself being sexually abused when he was young. He wrote it a long time ago before he had taken any legal action, but since has.

[jimmyfarrellmusic]

Okay, that piano completely rocks. Awesome song! One of my favorites from Chris Garneau.

[rhettpeterson89]

this is the most stunning song ever. so beautiful and peaceful!

[NamelessBlaze]

This song makes me sick :{

The lines "The lady's got no clothes she's at the shop.

But if she'd knew then she'd kill you" makes it a little better but not really.

[kayprime]

it's "the lady's got no CLUES".

[irfightforcat]

astounding... so genuine

[irfightforcat]

does his voice remind anyone else of that song from lady and the tramp like that tone

[hilba91]

I want a piano like that with red keys. It looks cool. Or why not green?

By the way. He's simply great. Such simpel music but so beautiful

[gumcinnomon]

this is such a cute song. :D

[misha857732]

wow very nice song

[moniki666]

can u please release a tutorial?

it seems pretty easy to play :)

[Zyrny]

I would do anything for at least one piano tutorial!

[Zyrny]

I third that!

[Juneisamoviemaker]

the song is actuallt easy to play ! I'm not good enough to post a tuto but i will try to post the chords !

[AndyVandy39]

beautiful song --> we don't try is also very good

[sugarhiccup333]

Babomb Babomb my heart hears sound - sound calling from an angel. Thank you for keeping me and no doubt another people hoping, loving, sexing, eating more chocolate, and feeling. Thank you Chris.

[Enzaio]

Just discovered this guy, I really like it. I hope his other songs are as good as this one.

[shamujezzyfan]

they are, you won't be dissapointed

[moonshineshorey]

saw him play last night. such a great treasure

[sk8tradam]

Très bien =D J'aime son voice il est étonnant

i hope i said that right..

[heatherchu]

Chris makes me think of a younger version of Sufjan. (:

[shamujezzyfan]

i'm learning howw to play that by watching this video everyday,

i dont know how to play by tabs :[

[matilda188]

I LOVE CHRIS, he is so good at this !

[lunisolaris]

He inspires me- His show in Portland was Amazing! I wish he played :Music: My favorite song

[PrinsBol1990]

Awesome song

[olvr1902]

Bloody asked a simple question. Shame on all the idiots who tried to jump on the politically correct bandwagon and recite some speech no one cared to read. He just asked if dude was gay. Calm down.

[sugarhiccup333]

What cha talking about?

[Kassypuu]

i like his red keys

[kikekiss]

nice piano!

:D

[BloodyMoniker]

you guys need to shut the fuck up, I asked polite, and someone answered me... Quit writing me about it

it's not like I called him a faggot or something.. so SHUT THE FUCK UP.

[iHennigs]

I have no comment for you

[gunpowder360]

sublime!!!!

[aboutNorman]

nice song ...

[sagat666]

beautiful...the ice-pick to smash the frozen sea inside us, emotion runs out, human after all....empathy, sorrow, joy, tears. life is simple after all.........

[ksdfgsadfhasdfhk]

hahhaahhhahahaha.....

shut the fuck up.

[rospiltore]

He is an amazing artist

[trwmusic]

Tell me this folks, when did we stop appreciating music? How about the little judgmental closet cases be quiet and enjoy something bigger then sexual preference. This man is amazing regardless of anything else done his voice is A work of art.

[honkytonkwoman88]

gay or not it is fantastic!!! i'm gay olè...

[mickyp07]

OH MY FREAKIN GOD! Does it really matter that much wether he's gay or not! Wish people would shut the F**K up asking questions about his sexuality!

[BloodyMoniker]

thats why I said it doesnt matter mother fucker...Im sure you asked someone before right?? so shut the fuck up.

[gprentice303]

haha calm down buddy. you fail

[ChillpointNews]

What pisses me off more than people being mean to animals? People getting upset about people asking questions about people's sexuality. Seriously, why the f**k would you wanna create a taboo over sexuality questions? What's wrong with you? Why can't a person ask if a guy is homosexual or not? What's wrong with it?

[Iezalel666]

I've heard an interview of him and he said "I'm not gay, I'm a girlfriend".

So...

[BloodyMoniker]

I'm not trying to be rude, or funny.. cause this is a REAL question, is chris REALLY gay, or is it a rumor?? it doesnt matter.. I'm just wondering.

[BlackDarwinist26]

:O i dont think so

[plunkrec]

Yes, he's gay, it's not a rumor.

[BloodyMoniker]

ah.. :P

[iHennigs]

ih frage mich.... es ist wichtig ob er gay ist?

you really think this is a important question?

to bloodyMoniker
