Lyrics:
I salute you Christopher
I salute your life
How you played the dice
Your words will live in us
Timelessly insane
Explosive, fresh and wise
Some will just forget
Some will close their eyes
Some will turn the tide
I salute you Christopher
Whiskey raised and downed
You risked and you took the crown
Console yourselves
That a scientific death is better than a fairy-tale
Of the eternal life
Control yourselves
Because the man in the sky is a tyrant and a lonely psychopath
Dreamed up to steal your minds
A horseman on a trial
A brilliant gentle wreck
With a brutal mouth for press
No submit, no compromise
Saint Christopher of the truth
And a destroyer of smoke screens and threats
They will learn to see in time
They will think before they refuse
The civilisation rules
I salute you Christopher
I declare you as our king
Or queen, depending on your mood

RIP Christopher Hitchens. We all salute you.
"What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence" Christopher Hitchens
The only difference between the atheistic perspective regarding the existence of aliens or God is aliens aren’t thought to be people that may want to roast your soul for eternity, therefore an atheist will entertain the concept of aliens and not a God despite there being as much or little evidence regarding either concept.
And that is why most atheists are in fact misotheists, or dysotheists not atheists.
what's the evidence for 1+1=2 ?
now do neoliberalism
@@Onehundredpounds Good one
@@Paidinfullcc1gt Wrong.
Entertaining the concept is not the same as believing.
I have no idea how I managed to miss this absolute gem until hearing it on Tin Star.
What a fantastic song.
I was thinking the same thing and I'm only watching Tin Star now.
That is how I found it too, I can't stop listening to it now...
I watched the TV series Tin Star when it was first shown but didn't really pay much attention to the soundtrack but when I was watching it on dvd whilst in hospital this song really stuck out for me & at the moment can't stop playing it.
Me too, but when I realised it was dedicated to Hitchens I couldn't stop listening to it
Beautiful.
RIP you truly great man. 👍
6 years ago today... We salute you, Christopher!
Heard this on Tin Star. Very effective use of it too.
EdWoods4444 that's how I ended up here too. Agree about it's use
Karla Jordan or Spotify!👎
Tin star bought me here too, quality tune , great programme, been Tim Roth fan since reservoir dogs
Wish it was on Spotify, brilliant track. I agree with you all about the effective use, such a beautiful (for lack of better description) scene.
I can't even get this on Deezer 😢
Thank you so much for this song IAMX. I swear that hearing this was the main reason I randomly started Tin Star a few weeks ago. A great show, but hearing this songwas WHY I was drawn to it. I fully believe that.
One of the greatest men of my entire life
RIP Sirr X
This song definitely heightened the drama of that scene in Tinstar
That was so sad man
Haunting. Tears>eyes.
Definitely made the even way more intense
too bad the quality dropped big time after the first season. not sure what the amazon writers were thinking.
Why is this track no longer on Spotify? It’s AWESOME!
when this started playing on Tin star i looked it up straight away! such a beautiful song, just gutted its not on spotify:(
My father is in the hospital, his illness is of terminal nature and I'm very emotional these days. Hitchens death hit me hard, but in the end one realizes that death does not matter, only life does, only your accomplishments, and the smiles you brought on other peoples faces, and both those men did that, plenty of times.
Thanks Christopher, thanks Dad.
Great words fair play.
🙏🏼
Got tears on my eyes🥺🥺🥺this would change me forever 💗
This song gives me the feeling of a truth so bright it could either ignite and destroy all living things, or shed an immortal light throughout the universe and for millennia. Maybe that's what we call the break of dawn.
What a truly great song , Thanks Tinstar for helping me hear this song, once heard , never forgotten 😍
i heard this tonight on How to get away with Murder !!!!!!! #HTGAWM
same!
We all did ;)
Same But 5 years later!
@@imalexandre1953 me too :) What a song. Mind blown.
@@fayeirwin463 Haha! I guess we both are pretty late :p
Heard this on Tin Star ☺ cool song
I may not subscribe to the late Christopher Hitchens' most deeply held views, but this beautifully haunting resilient song is a powerful tribute from the artist's heart to their hero. A timeless masterpiece of art.
Just heard this on Tin Star! Love it, what a great scene!
Brilliant Tin Star absolutely brilliant
Miss him heaps!!!✨
A great man - RIP.
An anthem to the one who risked and who took the crown. Can't explain how inspiring this song is to me.
Tin Star brought me here!
Me too !
I heard this song on howtogetawaywithmurder and was blown away my the masterpiece. They did a good job in this ode.
This was the perfect song for that scene in tin star 😎😊
My brother introduced this song from Tin star two years ago and the memories that came listening to it came and went so fast thank you for that my brother love you always
I didnt know it was an ode to the great Chris Hitchens... i get teary eyed every time i hear this song!!!

I already knew of IAMX and love some of his other songs but goddamn this one hits on Tin Star!
I have known IAMX for so long. I saw them 4 times live. In my top 10 of the best concerts of my life!
Brilliant, haunting and a fitting tribute to a true hero of modern times.
Ode to Christopher Hitchens....absolutely! Tin Star.....pretty good! This song.....sublime!
A salute to Chris,, Rich, Daniel, Sam, Stephen H, Carl, David A., Stephen F. Ricky and many others - all heroes in the face of the true brutal evil that is religion.
Phil.

I'm addicted to this song.....I salute you Chris C
First heard it on 'Tin Star' (Tim Roth and Oliver Coopersmith),Proper!
The world has lost a great mind, but we are better for having had him here.
Heard it on Tin Star. Absolutely brilliant!
TIN STAR BADASS SCENE !!!
Heard this first from How to get away with murder S1e11 and it’s just today i put two in two together and realize it was a tribute to Christopher Hitchens
A great man. Everyone I have ever loved is dead.
How to get away with murder got me here in the middle of the night like....'Oh Christopher'
Christopher will be sitting up there listening to this with great pride....
From Christopher to Christopher! Love this song

Phenomenal track and tribute. RIP CH
Think this is by a long shot, the most powerful song I’ve ever heard. Music DOES NOT MAKE ME CRY, but I fucking cry , like fucking salty tears cry, almost every single time I listen to this incredible track. I want this to be played at my Jim Is Dead party ❤️
Powerful isn’t it 💯❤️
Chris, thank you for this incredible tribute to the great and tenacious human being that Hitchens was and represented for many of us.
Tin star what a great song!!
amazing song and yes I came here from Tin Star (which is awesome).
This is so haunting
amazing song i really felt for whitey when he was crying over his dead friend (great acting great show)
This season in tin star is so much more painful with this masterpiece playing in the background.

Tin Star - beautiful
"God is not great" - I salute you Christopher
Only here because of Tin Star. … absolutely 💯 perfect

Tin Star enuff said!
I salute You, Saint Christopher of the truth. Down with the celestial North Korea! Rest In Peace, You were one of the bravest and brightest people of our times. Truly a hero. You will be sorely missed....
Tin Star
Amazing tune, heard it on tin star, googled it straight away, heard another great tune aswell when my dog Nelson passed away , Tom Chaplin's midnight mass, I hadn't seen the video, and was shocked when I saw it.🐕
10 anos depois.... ainda maravilhosa!!
tin star brought me here. his voice is amazing. how i did not know about iamx before. i don;t know .
I just discovered IAMX was the branch from Sneaker Pimps thru some internet sleuthing/stalking! Awesome! Continuing to make great music- I just downloaded all of the music on my Amazon app 😬. I started with “Insomnia.” As it was fitting, but this song was how I found you (from Tin Star via SHAZAM). Ahh I loved Sneaker Pimps. Always wondered where they disappeared off to. I moved to America about that time too. Anywho keep up the decades of success! (as if someone reads this 😝).
Love it
What a fucking tune
Love this track ,,its a pity it's been removed from spotify ,,
fantastic song sound words amazing.
I am in tremendous pain, but I will never give in Chris.
Phil.
WOW ….❤️
Tin Star brought me here. Excellent song.
Why the hell isn't this for sale. Would make a killing ! Haunting track. I too am obsessed with Christopher Hitchens - Such a loss.....watch his "old" vids...that guy knew exactly what was coming.
Beautiful vocals! You've outdone yourself Corner!
R.I.P. Christopher Hitchens
R.I.P.
Obrigado, How to Get Away With Murder, por essa música maravilhosa.
Wish I could give infinite likes. ❤
Tin Star - It was such a great scene showing the hurt and total collapse of human empathy that I had to find out the touching background song! Brilliant!
Love this :(
TIN STAR brought me here very sad . love it
Stop it. Stop making me love you more with each song I listen to. God dammit, I salute you Christopher!
Off to buy your albums now. Brb.
He's a galactic space god who rules through the institution of science
Fantastic song on tin star episode 5
