Chris Garneau

Producer: Duncan Sheik

I hope you don't go away
I still have some nice things
To do and say

I don't laugh when I can
I don't feel like
A very good man

But you know me well
Wouldn't it be swell
To find nothing blue
About me and you?

Your blue suede shoes:
You left them on mine last night
After the wine and the fight

But we're a dime in a well:
That hard to find
They lose their minds
Just thinking about me and you

Your blue suede shoes:
You left them on mine last night
It's alright

I do, I take care of the love
Cuz red rockets fly if you don't
I'm always gonna worry about this
But you tell me, "It's okay, Chris."
I can't tell you why babies cry
Our lies- they won't keep us alive

I hope you don't go away
I still have some nice things
To do and say...
Like, we're a dime in a well:
That hard to find
They lose their mind
Just thinking about me and you
And your blue suede shoes:
You left them on mine last night
But it's alright

I'll try to laugh when I can
I'll try to be a better man

Chris Garneau entered the New York music scene in 2006 with his debut album Music for Tourists, first released on Absolutely Kosher Records. He was brought to the label by Jamie Stewart and Caralee McElroy of Xiu Xiu. The album was later released in Europe and Asia. Vincent Moon shot Garneau in his Take-Away Show series which earned the singer-songwriter worldwide visibility, and special attention in France where the session was shot.

Garneau later released C-Sides EP (2007), El Radio LP (2009), and Winter Games LP (2013) on various labels in North America, Europe, China, Japan, South Korea, and Brazil — markets where he has toured extensively and shared the stage with Xiu Xiu, Jose Gonzalez, Keren Ann, My Brightest Diamond, Joan as Policewoman, Camera Obscura, among many others. Garneau opened for Charlotte Gainsbourg at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 2010.

He has also landed over 30 synch placements for film, television, and advertising (including Grey’s Anatomy, Private Practice, Dream Corp LLC, and others). His cover of Elliott Smith’s ‘Between the Bars’ was featured in Pedro Almodóvar’s ‘The Skin I Live In’.
