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'.
Free Fall
Christopher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're standing on the edge of mystery
If you jump and I jump
That's the only way to set us free fall
Each jump in one to free fall
Baby, this is where
Baby, this is where you run away
Baby, this is where you run away, run away
How can two people
Fall in love at the same time?
Acting like it's not possible
We're both in denial
When you see the leaves falling
Baby know that you can lean on me
I can't promise anything
You just gotta trust me, baby
You know and I know
We're standing on the edge of mystery
If you jump and I jump
That's the only way to set us free fall
Is jumping on to free fall
Baby, this is where
Baby, this is where you run away
Baby, this is where you wanna be
Baby, this is where you run away, run away
You don't know what's out there, out there
But we gotta go
You don't have to be scared, be scared
To be on your own
When you see the leaves falling
Baby know that you can lean on me
I can't promise anything
You just gotta trust me, baby
You know and I know
We're standing on the edge of mystery
If you jump and I jump
That's the only way to set us free fall
Each jump in one to free fall
Baby, this is where
Baby, this is where you run away
Baby, this is where you wanna be
Baby, this is where you run away, run away

You know and I know
Both of us are aware
We're standing on the edge of mystery
We're uncertain of what's ahead
If you jump and I jump
If we take a leap together
That's the only way to set us free fall
That's the only way to let go and fall freely
Each jump in one to free fall
Together we'll take the plunge
Baby, this is where
This moment is crucial
Baby, this is where you run away
You might be unsure and want to leave
Baby, this is where you wanna be
But deep down you know this is where you belong
Baby, this is where you run away, run away
But you might still run away despite wanting to stay
How can two people
It seems impossible for two people
Fall in love at the same time?
To fall in love with each other simultaneously?
Acting like it's not possible
Denying the possibility
We're both in denial
Both of us refuse to acknowledge it
You don't know what's out there, out there
The unknown lies ahead
But we gotta go
We have to face it
You don't have to be scared, be scared
But you don't have to face it alone and be afraid
To be on your own
To face it alone
When you see the leaves falling
When autumn comes
Baby know that you can lean on me
You can count on me
I can't promise anything
I can't guarantee anything
You just gotta trust me, baby
But I need you to trust me

If you know, I know
Standing on the edge of mystery
If you jump, I jump
That's the only way to set us free fall
Jumping until we free fall
Baby, this is where
Baby, this is where you run away
Baby, this is where you wanna be
Baby, this is where you run away, run away
How can two people
Fall in love at the same time
Acting like it's not possible
We're both in denial
When you see the leaves falling
Baby know that you can lean on me
I can't promise anything
You just gotta trust me, baby
If you know, I know
Standing on the edge of mystery
If you jump, I jump
That's the only way to set us free fall
Jumping until we free fall
Baby, this is where
Baby, this is where you run away
Baby, this is where you wanna be
Baby, this is where you run away, run away
You're almost out there, out there
But we gotta go
You don't have to be scared, be scared
To be on your own
When you see the leaves falling
Baby know that you can lean on me
I can't promise anything
You just gotta trust me, baby
If you know, I know
Standing on the edge of mystery
If you jump, I jump
That's the only way to set us free fall
Jumping until we free fall
Baby, this is where
Baby, this is where you run away
Baby, this is where you wanna be
Baby, this is where you run away, run away
