| Christopher's follow-up to Control,
The Terrors Of Intimacy, is also a very emotionally
charged work, but this time around the lyrics are more
reflective. Focusing now on more intimate, universal
and spiritual themes, this CD is both more adventurous
and more concise than its predecessor. The growth in
Christopher's voice and songwriting is clearly evident,
as is his willingness to explore new musical horizons.
Lyrically, the songs on The Terrors Of Intimacy deal
with the fear people have in opening themselves up
to other people and to themselves. Hard hitting songs
like “33”, “Satori” “Opening
Up” and “Real” focus on exploring new
horizons in one’s own psyche. The softer songs
like “The Sinking” and “Broken
Record” are about the challenging intimacy in romantic
relationships. The up-tempo, rocking songs like “Comical”, “My
Soul Is Taken”, “It Doesn’t Matter
Anymore” and “All The Love You Need” are
juxtaposed with more reflective songs like “Let
Me Breathe You In”, “Don’t Let Me Die” and “Meet
You In The Storm”. The classic rock influences
remain, but this time with a more modern and textural
sound. This CD celebrates a huge leap forward in Christopher's
musical and artistic development. |
