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'.
Remind You
Christopher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With your naked body
And I'm not the only one
Everyone thinks you're stunning
It's the way that you smile when you look at the crowd
I can tell that you don't know that you're beautiful
And you're fine but you think it's a lie when I say
You're beautiful, you're beautiful, don't you know it?
I always will, I always will let you know
Let you know, let you know
You're beautiful, you're beautiful, and if you ever forget
I will always
I'll remind you
I'll remind you
Remind you
I'll remind you
I'll remind you
Why you're so insecure?
Baby, you would take me away with your eyes
Give me one good reason
Don't you think it's wrong the many lies
Tell me what do you see
Baby, look at me, stop reading my mind
When you're looking in the mirror
It's the way that you smile when you look at the crowd
I can tell that you don't know that you're beautiful
And you're fine but you think it's a lie when I say
You're beautiful, you're beautiful, don't you know it?
I always will, I always will let you know
Let you know, let you know
You're beautiful, you're beautiful, and if you ever forget
I will always
I'll remind you
I'll remind you
Remind you
I'll remind you
I'll remind you
You take my breath away
With your naked body
The lyrics of Christopher's song "Remind You" revolve around the theme of insecurity, particularly when it comes to physical appearance. In the beginning of the song, the singer expresses their admiration for someone's beauty and how everyone else thinks the same way. However, the recipient of the compliment doesn't seem to believe it or feel confident about their looks. The singer tries to convince them of their beauty, expressing that they always will remind them of it. The second verse delves further into the person's insecurity but also the impact they have on the singer, using phrases such as "you would take me away with your eyes". The chorus repeats the message of reminding the person of their beauty and never allowing them to forget.
The song can be interpreted as a message of self-love and the importance of surrounding ourselves with people who uplift and remind us of our worth. The lyrics highlight how even those who seem to have it all together can struggle with self-esteem, and how it's important to look beyond the surface level and provide support in a world that can be cruel towards those who don't fit the mold. Ultimately, the message is that we are all beautiful and deserving of love and acceptance.
