"[Christopher the Conquered has] got a buzz going with a sound that is reminiscent of a young Elton John." - Wendy Geller, Senior Editor, Yahoo! Music

"His winning charm is subtle and earnestness; if he has to sing a downbeat ballad rife with wary words straight from the heart, he’s going to do it. But if his piano solos are unconventional and his ponderous lyrics seem coy, it’s often downplayed into the decorous blend of instrumentation." Paste Magazine

"Every song has a melancholy punch; every song is just plain catchy." - Vice.com

LYRICS:

Everybody rains it’s how we deal with pain

You know god invented crying so that we would go on trying

If you really let it out pour it all into a shout

Well you always feel so mellow when you got a salty pillow

And if you take issue you should also grab a tissue

Cause when your cheeks get hotter well your eyes will provide water

And if it just don’t stop you can always blow your top

But sooner or later, you gotta face it, that raining does erase it



Everybody pours it’s how we ask for more

So get down on your knees boy and beg her pretty please boy

And when she sees you dripping it’ll send her heart a tripping

She’ll be jumping and back-flipping just to have you back again



[Spoken]

Oh how ya doing Christopher?

Not so good!

Oh really, well that’s too bad

Yeah

Well, you know what my momma always used to tell me?

What’d your momma tell you?

My momma told me that everybody rains, everybody rains, everybody rains!



Everybody’s grey! That’s ok! It’s just the way we were made

So if you’re need of some company

I’m sure there’s someone blue who will sit next time

But if a friend cannot be found you know who’ll always be around

This little grey cloud to rain on you!
