Paul Murphy - 'The Good Christian' . A hundred million true stories in one song.
The title is ironic, of course.
This is a swipe at do-no-good church-goers - not at those who do do good. Sadly, I have not come across any of the latter, not in my entire life. I wrote this, first third of 2023. I put it aside actually, but then, in the space of a week, I contacted not one but 2 different child safeguarding personnel at 2 different dicoeses [dioci?], attaching photos of 2 bruised and injured young children. "We only deal with [trans: care about] children at our church" said one; "Oh what a shame" said the other. Two weeks later, one of those children was bandaged up from toe to almost knee...
Anyway, here's one of several versions I have laid down of this song. Although written as a 'pace' number, I wanted to get at least one slow version down, with a more ominous hint in the voice of the narrating repent-ye-er. But I keep getting so swept up in the sight of those injured and let-down children that I keep sliding into Ramones mode with anger at the situation. This is as close as I have come so far to a slower version, and is probably where I will stop trying. Musicians will note me pulling back on the reins at various points and fighting to keep to the slower tempo.
Over the course of my YouTube, Patreon and Odysee channels there are various takes of the fast'n'truly-furious ones, if you would like to check them out.
Love and peace,
Me

On a tertiary note, whilst here, if I may be so bold - I am uploading videos of my songs, my performances, my prose recitals, etc, to raise funds for my most amazing children, who get any donations when they reach 16. I have Progressive Palsy F-MND, and - well, and. There is no cure.
If you have enjoyed this video, and would care to make a small donation for them, many sincere thanks and much gratitude, from both myself, and from them via myself; the link is https://PayPal.Me/DylEmTrustFund
If you have listened and read this far, you have been extraordinarily kind with your precious time, and my sincere thanks for that.
