1… Read Full Bio ↴There are several artists who recorded under the name Christopher.
1. Christopher Nissen (born January 31, 1992) is a Danish singer from Copenhagen, signed to EMI Denmark. In November 2012 he won an award at the Danish Music Awards 2012. He was awarded New Thinker of the Year (Årets nytænker), given by Spotify as an innovation prize. His debut single was 'Against the Odds' (September 2011), which reached #23 in Denmark. His début album, 'Colours', was released in March 2012, its follow-up, 'Told You So', in March 2014.
2. Hailing from Toronto Canada, Christopher, who found most conventions and current musical climates quite disagreeable, is a 3rd generation student drop out of Bela Bartok. Originally a classically trained guitarist, Christopher transmuted into a multi-ethnic dual gender vocal firestorm and fringe composer. The first incarnation was the 2001 release Wer Next Projekt. Fast forward five years of relocating, reinventing, whimsical auditions for Finnish metal bands, studio fires and floods, Smoke and Origination is released, a 68-minute opus that shares some of the same discordant ambitions Brian Wilson laid down in 'Pet Sounds'. The album documents urban sprawl and the cannibalistic homogenization of Western life.
3. Another one of Texas' wealth of interesting, late-'60s psychedelic bands, Christopher came together in 1968 in the Houston area. Doug Tull (drums), Doug Walden (bass, vocals), and Richard Avitts (guitar, vocals) were the original members of the band, which was originally known as United Gas. Tull and Avitts, at the time playing in a series of R&B and soul-leaning groups, first met in 1966 when Tull sat in on drums with one of Avitts' bands. Tull, however, was not as serious about the music as Avitts, leading to an eventual split. Tull developed a friendship around this time with Jefferson Airplane guitarist and Texas native Jorma Kaukonen, and, in 1967, invited Avitts to jam with them. Certain that they had the makings of a band, the two went searching for a bassist who could sing, eventually finding Doug Walden. It was not long before United Gas developed a following in and around Houston, playing local clubs such as Tangerine Forest, whose owner, Nick Lee, developed an interest in the band, eventually becoming their manager. Walden and Avitts began writing their own material and recorded a demo that Lee had circulated around Las Vegas and Los Angeles by his connections in those cities. United Gas moved to Las Vegas for a brief time and then to Los Angeles after L.A. record label Metromedia offered them a two-year contract. At the behest of Metromedia, the band changed their name to Christopher so that they wouldn't be confused with similarly monikered California band Pacific Gas & Electric. Walden and Avitts felt Christopher to be a religious band -- the name is derived from Saint Christopher -- and wanted to convey this through the music. Recording of their first album started in early 1969, but was hampered by Tull's drug use and his failed suicide attempt. He was fired (later returning to Houston and joining Josephus) and the sessions were completed with drummers John Simpson and Terrence Hand. The result was Christopher's self-titled debut album, released in a single 1970 pressing of a thousand LPs by Metromedia. Walden and Avitts remained in Los Angeles playing as Christopher until Avitts returned to Houston later in the year.
4. Christopher was a fuzz psych / garage / blues rock band from North Carolina, United States, who released one studio album: 1970s' 'What'cha Gonna Do?' on Chris-Tee Records. Only 100 copies were pressed originally, making it an ultra rarity until Rockadelic/Atlas re-issued it. Personnel: Gary Lucas (drums), Bill McKee (bass), Steve Nagle (guitar), Frank Smoak (lead guitar).
5. Paddy O'Neill had been a member of Manchester-based harmony acts such as The Chuckles in the late 1960s. He recorded a singer-songwriter album ('Where I Belong') for the fledgling RAK label as Christopher Neil in 1972. In between he recorded a one-off single for Chapter One Records under the name Christopher: 'Sharkey'b/w 'The Race'.
Call Your Girlfriend
Christopher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's time you had the talk
Give your reasons
Say it's not her fault
But you just met somebody new
Tell her not to get upset, second-guessing everything you said and done
And then when she gets upset tell her how you never meant to hurt no one
And tell her that the only way her heart will mend is when she learns to love again
And then you let her down easy
Call your girlfriend
It's time you had the talk
Give your reasons
Say it's not her fault
But you just met somebody new
Tell her not to get upset, second-guessing everything you said and done
And then when she gets upset tell her how you never meant to hurt no one
Just tell her that the only way her heart will mend is when she learns to love again
And it won't make sense right now but you're still her friend
And then you let her down easy
And tell her that the only way her heart will mend is when she learns to love again
And it won't make sense right now but you're still her friend
And then you let her down easy
So call your girlfriend
"Call Your Girlfriend" by Robyn, is a song about a man who is in a relationship with someone but has found himself falling for someone else. The singer realizes that he needs to end his current relationship, but he wants to do it in a way that is as gentle as possible. He is speaking directly to his current girlfriend, telling her that he needs to talk to her about something important. He reassures her that it is not her fault and that he has found someone new.
The lyrics are essentially a script for how to break up with someone in the least painful way possible. The singer encourages the person they are addressing to tell their girlfriend that she doesn't need to blame herself for the breakup. He also tells her to remind her that she will heal eventually and that he still wants to be friends.
The lyrics reflect a sense of regret, as the singer acknowledges that his actions will cause hurt and apologizes for it. However, he knows that it's better to be honest and end a relationship that's not working, rather than staying in it and deceiving someone.
Overall, the song is a difficult but honest conversation about the end of a relationship. It shows that, even in the midst of heartbreak, it's possible to treat people with kindness and compassion.

There's nothing wrong with singing a song exactly how it's written. That doesn't make anybody gay... It's Robyn's song and he's just singing it. And I think it's a beautiful cover.

It’s only you bringing it up you closet case - piss off
H T
no one fucking cares, you sing the song as written, and you fucking homophobes can stfu about it holy shit, the fact that you need to even point this out.... i agree with u 100% but omggg the people who bitch piss me off

I don't understand why anyone's jumping to conclusions about his sexual orientation based on the lyrics of the song. Even if he had written it he could be singing about a bisexual girl breaking up with her girlfriend to be with him. I'm gay and I've been in love with married men before so this song has that specific meaning for me, but I know it isn't the only one.
Leo Evan
who cares whether the dude's gay or not? he's got an amazing voice and the fact that he doesn't change the pronouns just means he's not afraid of what people may say and wants to sing it as it was originally sang.

Maybe he's singing to a lesbian 🤔
