After the year 2000 and his first album "Seul" ("Alone") he has been a whole time singer. In 2000 he recorded a duet with the famous Celine Dion who is also from Canada. He has mostly sang in French but his first English album "Piece of my soul" was published in 2008. His latest album is from 2009 called "Gentleman Cambrioleur" ("Gentleman Robber").

Since 1999 Garou has been part of the enorme group of francophonic artists and musicians called les Enfoirés.
One specially touching song (and video) is "L'injustice" ("The injustice").

HEMINGWAY
(D. Barbelivien)

De l'Afrique
Il reste quelques soleils gris et sales
De l'Amérique
Un drapeau qui perd sa guerre des étoiles
D' la politique
Des idées qui ne brillent que par l'argent
De la musique
Quelques DJ's pour trois milliards de gens

**C' n'est pas "L'adieu aux armes"
C'est un monde qui disparaît
Les missiles n'ont pas le charme
Du vieux fusil d'Hemingway

Et "Pour qui sonne le glas"
Dans ce monde "anyway"
Chacun de nous finira
Comme le vieil Hemingway **

Du Grand Nord
Restent quelques chercheurs d'or faméliques
D'nos corps à corps
D' l'amour enrobé de matière plastique
Des conquistadors
Plantés devant leurs écrans numériques
Des cons qui s'adorent
J'en connais plus que de femmes érotiques

**C' n'est pas "L'adieu aux armes"... **

HEMINGWAY

From Africa

was left some gray and dirty suns

From America

A flag which will lose it's war of stars

From politics

The ideas which shine just through the money

From music

Some Djs for 3 miljard people

**It's not ”A Farewell to Arms”

It's a world that dissappears

The missiles do not have le charme

From the old arms of Hemingway

And ”For Whom the Bell Tolls”

In this world ”anyway”

Everyone of us meets the end

Like the old Hemingway**

From the great North

Was left some starved golddiggers

From body to body

Love coated with plastic

The conquistadors

Planted in front of countless screens

The fools who love

From them I know mostly erotic women

**It's not ”A Farewell to Arms”...** (2x)

MY LITTLE BASQUIAT

My little boy on the kitchen floor
(my little basquiat)
Stick men fighting stick dinosaurs
(my little basquiat)
Colours leaping all over the mat
(my little basquiat)
The kitchen floor is where it's at
For my little basquiat

One day
He'll be golden
Maybe chosen
Perhaps to lead
One day
He'll be shaken
Maybe taken
Perhaps to bleed

My big girl swinging from the bars
(my little comaniche)
Fist of stone flying above the yard.
(my little comaniche)
Halfway up is halfway down
(my little comaniche)
Or maybe it's the other way around
For my little comaniche

One day
She'll be moonlight
Maybe too bright
Perhaps, to shine
One day
She'll be found out
Maybe ground down
Perhaps she'll cry

My little girl on her mothers lap
(my little panchen lama)
Sucking on her fingers, surveying the roadmap
(my little panchen lama)
Seems to be the only one around
(my little panchen lama)
That sees the red lights at the end of town
(my little panchen lama)

One day
They'll be older
Maybe bolder
Perhaps, than me
One day
They'll be rising
Maybe living
Perhaps, in peace
