1) St. Christo… Read Full Bio ↴There are at least two artists named St. Christopher:
1) St. Christopher are a British indie pop band formed in York in 1984, who released several records on Sarah Records in the late 1980's, and have continued to release records since.
St. Christopher are mainly known for their four singles and 10" mini-LP on Sarah Records, although they actually have a much longer history, both before and after their time on Sarah. They produced a prolific quantity of recordings on a variety of labels, from the early 1980s to the present.
The only constant member of the band during its more than twenty years of existence has been Glenn Melia, and, during this time, Melia and St. Christopher have recorded with many well-known indie labels, including Sarah, Bus Stop, Vinyl Japan, Elefant, Slumberland, Caff, and Parasol. The band probably achieved greatest recognition for the single "All of a Tremble," released in 1989.
The original line-up of the band also featured Terry Banks, who went on to lead Tree Fort Angst.
In 2007, a compilation album of their previous releases titled Lost at Sea - The Sarah Recordings was released by Plastilina Records. Their last record was the CD single "Burnout".
2) The project of Chris Tragos, a Chicago based producer aiming to deliver an unforgettable experience through his transcendent, hard-hitting electronic music that bleeds charisma.
Ethereal melodies, driven synths & pounding drums paired with deep composition creates an experience unlike any other. The motivated producer draws inspiration from history, architecture, video games & films to fuel his creative fire.
Saint Christopher is committed to developing as an artist, brand & human.

St. Christopher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Jesus found his politics but nobody listens
Rent it will rise but our doctors keep us high
(We can't get too low)
I know it's all broken
But I ain't got to focus
Is it hell, is it well, is there anybody can tell
I can't tell what's right or wrong
We ain't ever gonna sing one song
Love goes, hate goes, now I am left all alone
Everyone seems to shout but we get lost in the sounds
Follow your sister, please, just try to hold her
I can't seem to focus
I know it's all broken
Is it hell, is it well, is there anybody can tell
I can't tell what side I am on
I can't tell what's right or wrong
We ain't ever gonna sing one song
Love goes, hate goes, now I am left all alone
All I ever wondered, all I ever wondered, would we make it through?
All I ever wondered, all I ever wondered, would we make it through?
Make it through
I can't tell what side I am on
I can't tell what's right or wrong
We ain't ever gonna sing one song
Love goes, hate goes, now I am left all alone
Love goes, hate goes, now I am left all alone
Love goes, hate goes, now I am left all alone
Love goes, hate goes, now I am left all alone
The song "And I Wonder" by St. Christopher's explores the confusion and indecisiveness that comes with navigating the complexities of the world we live in. The lyrics reference politics, social issues, and personal relationships, all of which can be sources of conflict and divisiveness. The line "Velvet fist in the gut while everyone is slingin' mud" suggests that even in the face of violence and hostility, people continue to fight each other rather than come together to resolve issues.
The mention of Jesus finding his politics but nobody listening speaks to the idea that even those with strong beliefs and convictions can feel unheard and ignored. The lyrics also touch on the issue of rising rent and the use of drugs or other means of escapism to avoid facing problems. Despite the brokenness and confusion described in the song, the singer suggests that there is no need to focus too much on the negative and divisive elements of the world.
The repeated refrain of "I can't tell what side I am on, I can't tell what's right or wrong, we ain't ever gonna sing one song" emphasizes the difficulty of choosing a side or finding a clear path forward amidst conflicting opinions and viewpoints. The final line, "Love goes, hate goes, now I am left all alone," conveys a sense of isolation and disconnection that can arise from the inability to find common ground with others.

There's a mistake. The album from which this song is taken from is originally Bacharach under sarah records licensing. Lost at sea is a compilation post Sarah records era. If I'm not wrong there is no Sarah CD release of this album
