Christian is a multi-instrumentalist (often bass guitar, cello, nyckelharpa, and sarangi, but also balalaika, banjo, santoor, sitar, tambura, etc.) usually associated with Indian world music, ethnic fusion, chamber jazz and sometimes new-age music, but who also plays classical music.

The song makes euphemistic reference to sexual activity (to "hear the nightingale sing").  The Roud number is 371. "The Nightingale" (Danish: "Nattergalen") is a literary fairy tale written by Danish author Hans Christian Andersen about an emperor who prefers the tinkling of a bejeweled mechanical bird to the song of a real nightingale.  When the Emperor is near death, the nightingale's song restores his health.  Well received upon its publication in Copenhagen in 1843 in "New Fairy Tales", the tale is believed to have been inspired by the author's unrequited love for opera singer Jenny Lind, the "Swedish nightingale".  The story has been adapted to opera, ballet, musical play, television drama and animated film. Johanna Maria Lind (6 October 18202 November 1887), better known as Jenny Lind, was a Swedish opera singer, often known as the "Swedish Nightingale".  One of the most highly regarded singers of the 19th century, she performed in soprano roles in opera in Sweden and across Europe, and undertook an extraordinarily popular concert tour of America beginning in 1850.  She was a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Music from 1840. Nightingale: A New Musical is a musical (described by the composer as a children's opera) in one act, with book, music and lyrics by Charles Strouse.

The Hans Christian Andersen Museum is a museum dedicated to famous author Hans Christian Andersen in Odense, Denmark.  It is located in the building which is thought his birthplace, a small yellow house on the corner of Hans Jensens Stræde and Bangs Boder in the old town.  In 1908, the house was opened as the Hans Christian Andersen Museum.  It documents his life from his childhood years as the son of a struggling shoemaker, to his schooling, career as an author, and later life, with artefacts providing an insight into his acquaintances and adventures.  Andersen's childhood home is on Munkemøllestræde not far from the cathedral.  He lived in the little half-timbered house from the age of two until he was 14.  Opened as a museum in 1930, the house contains an exhibition of the cobbling tools used by his father and other items based on Andersen's own descriptions.

It portrays a romance between the writer Hans Christian Andersen and the opera singer Jenny Lind the "Swedish Nightingale" of the title.
