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'.
Nothing in Common
Christopher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But to me a no is so indifferently
I drag along your way
It's your way I'm hanging in so desperately
I beg you please to start believe that it's way too soon
To change your way
You can feel that our love
And you say we've got nothing in common
You're so crazy, I'm sane
You got heart, I got brains
And there's nothing that we have in common at all
Oh, oh, oh
Nothing in common
I listen to your words
And it hurts when you tell me how I'm supposed to be
You tell me to suit up, get a job
It makes you crazy that I cannot see
'Cause I got heart, got soul
I play the guitar
It's too late to change your way
You can feel that our love
Is fading out, out of touch (oh)
And you say we've got nothing in common
You're so crazy, I'm sane
You got heart, I got brains
And there's nothing that we have in common at all
Oh, oh, oh
Nothing in common
And all of my money I spend it on you
And all my love I gave it to you
My angel, my boo, the things you do
If only you can tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me
You can feel that our love
Is fading out, out of touch (oh)
And you say we've got nothing in common
You're so crazy, I'm sane
You got heart, I got brains
And there's nothing that we have in common at all
Oh, oh, oh
Nothing in common
We got nothing in common at all
At all, at all
We got nothing in common at all
The song "Nothing in Common" by Christopher is a poignant commentary on a doomed relationship. Through the verses, the singer acknowledges the disconnect between him and his lover. He admits that he is desperately hanging on to her way, even though he knows that it's too soon to change his own way. He recognizes that their relationship is fading out of touch and that she believes they have nothing in common. She wants him to "suit up, get a job," and conform to the societal norms, but he cannot let go of his heart and soul, which involve playing the guitar. In the chorus, the lines, "You're so crazy, I'm sane. You got heart, I got brains. And there's nothing that we have in common at all," highlight the mismatch between the two individuals, who are fundamentally different.
The song conveys a sense of melancholy and resignation as the singer realizes that their differences are irreconcilable, and they have nothing in common. The bridge of the song reveals the depth of his emotions as he tells his lover that he spends all his money and love on her, and she's his angel and boo, but he still cannot fathom what went wrong between them.

You might say no to me
You have the power to reject me
But to me a no is so indifferently
However, I don't really care about being rejected
I drag along your way
I'm following your path
It's your way I'm hanging in so desperately
I'm depending on you and your choices
I beg you please to start believe that it's way too soon
I'm asking you to reconsider your decision because it's premature
To change your way
To alter the path you're on
You can feel that our love
You recognize that our emotional connection
Is fading out, out of touch (oh)
Is losing its intensity
And you say we've got nothing in common
You conclude that we don't share any similarities
You're so crazy, I'm sane
You have irrational emotions, whereas I am reasonable
You got heart, I got brains
You have passion, but I have intelligence
And there's nothing that we have in common at all
We don't share any common interests or characteristics
I listen to your words
I pay attention to what you say
And it hurts when you tell me how I'm supposed to be
But it's upsetting when you try to change who I am
You tell me to suit up, get a job
You encourage me to conform to societal expectations and expectations
It makes you crazy that I cannot see
My failure to comply with your wishes frustrates you
'Cause I got heart, got soul
I pride myself on having passion and spirit
I play the guitar
Playing music is one of my talents
It's too late to change your way
It's pointless to try and convince me to change my path
And all of my money I spend it on you
I give you a lot of financial support
And all my love I gave it to you
I've given you all of my affection
My angel, my boo, the things you do
I love everything about you
If only you can tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me
I need you to communicate with me more clearly
We got nothing in common at all
Our similarities are nonexistent
At all, at all
Absolutely none
We got nothing in common at all
Our differences are too significant to reconcile
