Sunday Song by Tall Dwarfs.mov

I made this in February 2010 for the album 'Stroke'.
'Stroke' is Chris Knox songs (including songs by Tall Dwarfs, and by CK & The Nothing) performed by other artists after Chris' debilitating stroke in July 2009.
For more info about Stroke: www.chrisknox.c...
Alec Bathgate (the other half of the TD duo) sent up the footage of him playing guitar in his Christchurch, New Zealand home, and Ary Jansen and I filmed Chris in his Auckland, NZ home.
I combined it in Final Cut Pro, after consuting with Chris, who was pretty definite about how it should end up.
Chris cannot speak much; he sings beautifully. But not words.
Apart from the covers by all sorts of interesting artists on Stroke, the double-CD includes two new numbers: 'Sunday Song' by him and Alec, and 'Nappin' In Lapland' by Chris and his band The Nothing.

Absolutely beautiful. I can't believe this doesn't have 5 million views. I cried. My husband has epilepsy. I get it.

[@TheScratchingKiwi]

SO happy to Chris singing.... so why am I crying?

[@Oilisdeathtomany]

Ain't it crazy that a simple little ditty like this can actually evoke a response? A beautiful piece, you guys. Thanks so much.

I have been listening to Toy Love since i was 16 , but only now just discovered this, has brought me to tears

[@rattusvore9259]

good to see you both, here come the warm jets

[@walkingthecow69]

Chris is my hero. His contributions to kick ass music worldwide are immeasurable. And this is great

[@DarrenBurch]

Big like all the way from Istanbul. Kiwi's can fly :))

I have a tape of Tall Dwarfs playing in San Francisco, CA, 1992(?) and I want Chris and Alex to hear it. Any suggestions? It would be great to make some sort of Fundraiser for Charity out-of-it, but I really just want to be able to say Thanks to these Guys for the wonderful music and the great show.

Lovely!

[@pierrotito]

beautiful music as always :)

Nice!

I can almost hear this on a meadowfresh ad or something

[@dariae5549]

sure, rip my heart out and drown it in a bucket full of my own tears...that's fine. Chris & Alec know they're forgiven

Sounds like a gnome version of Here come the warm jets by Brian Eno

@batterycock Sorry batterycock but that's really uncalled for. Pete Doherty may not be someone you like but he has his path to follow. You make a lot of assumptions about the Tall Dwarfs in that statement, as well. Still, on a happier note, we both like this, and that's a good thing. All the best.

Out of curiosity how does he sing? I know the song is just humming but somewhere i read he cant even sing after the stroke?

[@hipenterprises]

Sorry, I should have answered this ages ago. Chris can sing extremely tunefully, just not words. In fact, when my son Ary Jansen and I filmed this, in three takes, he sang a different harmony every time.

[@billiam5726]

@@hipenterprises thats incredible to hear! so glad hes still able to express himself!
