    i’m surprised you guys didn’t molest him when he was over there. s’what i would have done. and he seems to shy. x)

    his music is good…and its definitely good music to slit your wrists to. xB nah i kid but the music dosen’t really make you feel happy when you listen to it. s’not really depressing or sad… its just :((((( music.

    I heard about Chris Garneau first on the Feast of Fools podcast and went and got his album immediately on iTunes. He’s the real deal guys! I really like seeing his beauty up close and personal.

    Thanks for making a great video! I’m so stoked for tomorrows podcast.

    Wow… what a gorgeous song. I have major goose bumps.

    There is something so deeply spiritual about his music, and watching him sing is equally spiritual. And the words are so true– so many times I have felt like I lived on a island in the middle of town.

    I wish I could have seen him live.

    It really was great, Rick. And yes, I think if I didn’t feel like I was on an island in the city when I was 18 I wouldn’t have joined the army.
    The whole experience with Chris was great. I hope you enjoy the podcast as well. :-)

    Hey guys,

    This was such a beautiful video clip. It really did move us.

    Thanks so much for sharing it.

    We have had the joy of discovering Chris Garneau thanks to Feast of Fools. Really can’t wait to get this song once it comes out on iTunes.

    Looking forward to listening to the show with Chris.

    Unfortunately, we’re about 10 shows behind…but hey, that’s still something to look forward to.

    Thanks for bringing such talented and unique performers to the ears of your international audience.

    Kisses and hugs
    Mel & Shaun

    I wasn’t sure of his music when I first heard it but it’s starting to grow on me. The video’s interesting because he doesn’t really look like what you would imagine hearing that falsetto voice. Plus he’s really cute.

    Thanks for introducing me to music which, for the first time in about 5 years, I’ve actually felt it necessary to legitimately buy instead of freely download.
    He’s like a male Chantal Kreviazuk or Rebecka Törnqvist, only better. And more shaggable.

    Where do we send marriage proposals?
