Biography:
Christopher Owens, the rawboned San Francisco singer/songwriter with a far-out backstory and a modeling contract, has announced the release of his debut solo album, completed just months after leaving his band Girls. Called Lysandre, the LP comes out January 15th, 2013, via Fat Possum. It was mostly written all at once, shortly after the release of Girls’ debut, Album, and derives its name and inspiration from a real-life Lysandre whom Owens met and fell in love with on tour.

When the rain came down, and my mother looked around
C Cmaj9 Am Dm G
and she said we better stay home 'til the morning
C Cmaj9 Am Dm G
on a cold wooden bench in a train station
C Cmaj9 Am Dm G C C C C
Just the two of us would spend the night and I don't forget the tears she cried
F G ( C Cmaj9 Am ) Dm G Bb G
But soon I will be going to America, I know everything's going to be okay
