Mark, thanks for the uplifting, so to speak, link.....
That touching, heart-warming religious performance was part of the 2014 TRUE LIGHT international Convention in Lost Vegas, and celebrates the life of JB, in the song referred to as 'Jimmy Brown', but True Believers know it really to be about our own JB, rumoured to be a founding member. (That was before he lost his True Light faith, and switched over to Blue Light)
For those still struggling with their Rosetta Stone handbook to translate the Swedish version, here's the song in English, originally by the Browns, that hit #1 in 1959.
When you watch it a second time, think "John Bailey" whenever the pseudonym is used, and know that the little valley town is really Erin.
And remember: there is nothing that JB likes better than a blonde Erin girl in a flowered skirt, belting out a song with real religious fervour, backed up by four Believers in their Ceremonial Robes. (He's always been partial to a well-hung set of clappers swinging joyfully at the knees!)
And don't be saddened by the song.
(JB is not really dead, even if he may often appear to be.
Apparently FFitG was playing the funeral card in the hope it would increase the cash flow when the offertory plates came around.)
Translated, this is the life of our JB! What a tribute!!!
There's a village hidden deep in the valley
Among the pine trees half forlorn
And there on a sunny morning
Little Jimmy Brown was born
(bung, bung, bung, bung)
All the chapel bells were ringing in the little valley town
And the song that they were singing was for baby Jimmy Brown
Then the little congregation prayed for guidance from above
"Lead us not into temptation, bless this hour of meditation"
"Guide him with eternal love"
There's a village hidden deep in the valley
Beneath the mountains high above
And there, twenty years thereafter
Jimmy was to meet his love
(bung, bung, bung, bung)
All the chapel bells were ringing, 'twas a great day in his life
'cause the songs that they were singing was for Jimmy and his wife
Then the little congregation prayed for guidance from above
"Lead us not into temptation, bless, oh Lord this celebration"
"May their lives be filled with love"
From the village hidden deep in the valley
One rainy morning dark and gray
A soul winged its way to heaven
Jimmy Brown had passed away
(bung, bung, bung, bung)
Just a lonely bell was ringing in the little valley town
'twas farewell that it was singing to our little Jimmy Brown
And the little congregation prayed for guidance from above
"Lead us not into temptation, may his soul find the salvation"
"Of thy great eternal love"
Note: the use of 'bung, bung', when denoting the bell ringing, is in no way to be construed as an oblique reference to JB's recent intestinal troubles after over-indulging at the Erin Cheese Festival.
Such records are closed, but still binding.
