(almost) Speechless...
Chris was amazing. i consider myself blessed to have been able to see him a few times live over the years... if i had 1/100th the musical skill, i'd quit my day job!
RIP. He will be sorely missed. there is no replacement or substitute. truly unique.. and how often can you say that these days...
thank you so much for posting this video.

@TonyTony1492 No music in the world like those songs from rocket house ...it's like he was writing directly to something so deep inside me I'd had no idea it was even there.

WOW this song ROX! I tend to go for Chris' earlier stuff of 'Living With The Law' era though this number is superb! Do you know the very first time I cranked up my 'Living With The Law' cassette I was watching skydivers parachuting on a hot New Zealand summer's day, 26 degrees celcius, no clouds in the sky, no wind, priceless I tell ya...I was 30 years of age and was 3 years into my recovery from my self-responsible motorcycle accident that was a near-death experience. I am a hemipelvectomy.

The instrumentation is great, but the scratcher stuff is annoying and actually detracts.
-
Incredible harmonics in the intro. Gorgeous sounds.

he wrote songs only once, and never played them the same he was one of the most, actually the most incredible artist to alight on earth R.I.P.

He was the Mozart of his era. Once in a generation, never truely appreciated in his lifetime. What a body of work he left us. I can't listen to other music written by other artists, it's not really music after listening to his work.
