Biography:
Alex Zhang Hungtai, a Taiwanese-born Canadian lo-fi musician based in Lisbon,Portugal created the project Dirty Beaches in 2005.
Like Bo Diddley or minimalist synth provocateurs Suicide, Dirty Beaches’ compositions were not so much stripped down as refined to their essence. Drum loops, Hungtai’s croon, and the yearning melodies draped overtop belie as much a sense of haunting mystery as they do romanticism and wry humour.
In November 2014 Alex Zhang Hungtai announced the end of Dirty Beaches.

I walk along these streets until I have you in my arms
C Dm G
now that you're gone in my heart so wild and blue
C Dm G
and if I had the chance, I'd never let you go.
C Dm G
and, doll, if you haven't called back, I'm begging you please
true blue, baby
true blue, for you,
for now
no matter how far the distance grows
well I just want you to know
that my heart will always be true
true blue
for you
true blue
my darling, I swear
true blue
true blue
true blue (for you babe)
Enjoy.
