Not Given Lightly - Chris Knox directs his own face in this video for his classic Kiwi love song. The camera gradually pulls out from an extreme close up of Knox's face to a living room full .

Chris Knox (born 2 September in Invercargill) is a New Zealand musician and cartoonist. Starting his vocal career with NZ punk band The Enemy in , Knox has involved in the NZ music scene ever since. Frontman for the short-lived but energetic Toy Love and one half of the perpetually magical duo that is Tall Dwarfs - as well as recording and performing his own solo works.

All that aside, anything with such brilliant songs on it as "The Woman Inside of Me," "Meat," "Liberal Backlash Angst," and especially the utterly wonderful love song "Not Given Lightly" -- winningly off psych-inspired fun from a master at just that kind of music -- is well worth the listening.

Nick Lowe's "Mary Provost" and Poi Dog Pondering's "Living with the Dreaming Body" fit the band's aesthetic perfectly, but covers by Duran Duran ("Planet Earth") and Chris Knox (a painful "Not Given Lightly") seem strained/5(2).
