"[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:
I could’ve stood up I could’ve spoke my mind
I could’ve changed the world if I’d only made the time
But there won’t be much to say on my final day
You know I tried to keep it real I tried to break some ground
Tried to blow the mind of every man I found
But there won’t be much to say on my final
There won’t be much to say when my wheels have spun
There won’t be much to say when my final showing has begun
No there won’t be much to say when my time has come to an end
There won’t be much to say
I told it to my neighbors to my family to my friends
I told ‘em what I could but they’ll never understand
So there won’t be much to say on my final day
I tried to write it down so I won’t forget
But when I read it back you know it doesn’t make sense
So there won’t be much to say on my final day
There won’t be much to say when my sun has set
There won’t be much to say when my god I have met
There won’t be much to say when he forgets my name
There won’t be much to say
I just tried to share what I found to be the truth
But no one wants to listen when they know they know it, too
So there won’t be much to say on my final day
So I waited around to find out how it’s done
But the only thing I learned was which way to run
So there won’t be much to say on my final day
There won’t be much to say when my curtains have drawn
There won’t be much to say when my resolve and ambition have gone
No there won’t be much to say when all has turned wrong
And can’t be made good again
No…
There won’t be much to say when I’ve made my last call
There won’t be much to say
There won’t be much to say when I’m made to crawl back into my bed again
