This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
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 good ol' Jimmy Brown (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"
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 good ol' Jimmy Brown (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"

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
I don't get why they can't display the lyrics. Here they are:
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.
All the chapel bells were ringing, in the little village town, And the song that they were singing was for baby Jimmy Brown. And 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.
All the chapel bells were ringing, 'Twas a great day in his life, Cause the song 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, O 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.
Just a lonely bell was ringing, in the little valley town, ‘Twas farewell that it was singing to our good old 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."
I am not a religious person but I love this song. Especially the backing vocals.
