  • *squeals* oooooh, I can’t wait to see this *waits for it to load* Chris is yummy :) and I looove his album!!!!

  • I’m tingly! Beautiful song!

  • YaY!!! He’s sooooo pretty!!!

  • I can’t wait for the podcast tomorrow! Great video and it sounded fantastic… good job ladies

  • 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 disagree… the music makes me feel happy… IN THE PANTS!!! lol.

  • 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.

  • charming is as charming does..
    when looking at the stars tonite,
    i thought about chris’ songs again

    Aristotle/AlbertEinstein/C.S.Lewis/
    Gandhi/LeonardoDaVinci/Jesus/
    MartinLutherKing/Plato/Socrates/
    WilliamShakespeare/ChrisGarneau

  • 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. :-)

  • I’m crazy jealous that you got to be there, Justin. :)

  • 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

  • Loving it Chris, I hope you can make it to So Cal in the future. I’d love to see you play live. (Maybe you and Eric Hyman can do a gig together?)

  • What, no photo of the Aubrey Beardsley tattoo?

    Great show, and I loved all the live performances (esp. Island) — looking forward to Chris’ EP and next album!

  • 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.

  • Fausto!!! You totally scored getting Chris on the show. He had me mezmerized! What a great talent. I couldnt get enough of him.

  • Wow! What a wonderful performance. Thanks for turning me onto his music!

  • 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?

  • loved this show Chris is really cute and gave a great interview i even went and bought “Baby’s Romance” and i listen to it like every day

  • one of the most angelic voices I’ve heard in a really long time.

  • Oh my GOD. Why is he so CUTE? That was absolutely beautiful. We love you Chris!

  • i love how Fausto is just eyeing Chris like a HOT TAMALE! beautiful…the song AND chris….and Fausto too!

  • Amazing! Can’t wait for the new CD!

  • Chris is so soft spoken and adorable. And so talented! That song is touching. Sweet job on all the videos! (: I’d like to give you all big hugs :)

    P.S. Loved the one when Falsto and Marc were at the Kwik-E-Mart. lol

  • I’m addicted to this video. I have it on my iPod and watch/listen to it a few times a day. Awesome!

  • Almost 8 months after this was first up, and I still love listening and watching this video. Chris seems like such a gentle soul, and a good friend to have. Thank you guys for having this video available!
