Scouring the old lyric ideas, I had the first four lines written down. I decided to try to finally make a song using them. First I went for a guitar and voice approach, but soon I realized that it's not going be enough so I decided to go all-in with the instrumentation. I had lots of fun writing this song. It's stupid but I like it.
I was almost ready with the song but then I realized that I could add some xylophone so I could complete the #avatarchallenge.
Kerran autol' ajaes' annoin Jeesukselle ohjat
luotin häneen kuten kallioon!
Siitä sitten auto syöksyikin jo järven pohjaan!
Syystä Jeesuksen mä tehol' oon!
Jeesus, Jeesus,
miksi teit sen, Jeesus?
Nyt liikkumatta kipsattuna
makaan päivin öin!
Jeesus, Jeesus,
miksi teit sen, Jeesus?
En elämästä enää pysty nauttimaan!
Kerran raviradal' annoin Jeesuksen päättää lähdön
huoleti laitoin kaiken likohon!
Vaan lähtölaukaus kajahtikin ravuria päähän!
Syystä Jeesuksen oon rahaton!
Jeesus, Jeesus,
miksi teit sen, Jeesus?
Vei velkoja auton, talon
lapset, vaatteet päältäkin!
Jeesus, Jeesus,
miksi teit sen, Jeesus?
Nyt pukeudun mä pelkkään tynnyriin!
Kerran grillil' Jeesus käski kääntää toisen posken
kun joku korsto mua mottasi
Nyrkinisku mursikin mun koko alaleuan
Syystä Jeesuksen oon hampaaton!
Jeesus, Jeesus,
miksi teit sen, Jeesus?
Nyt letkun kautta muussattuna
nautin ruokani!
Jeesus, Jeesus,
miksi teit sen, Jeesus?
Ei tunnista mua oma äitikään!
Kerran ehtoollisel' join mä Jeesukseni verta
kohteliaana sain mä leivänkin
En tiennyt maksakirroosist' tai keliakiasta
Nyt syystä Jeesuksen mä kuollut oon!
Jeesus, Jeesus,
miksi teit sen, Jeesus?
Ei Taivaan porteil'
Pietari mua sisään päästänyt!
Jeesus, Jeesus,
miksi teit sen, Jeesus?
Käy tieni tästä suoraan Helvettiin
Jeesus, Jeesus
miksi teit sen, Jeesus?
On kärsimystä, piinaa
tämä tuonpuoleinen
Jeesus, Jeesus
miksi teit sen, Jeesus?
Miks' en mä kelvannutkaan Taivaaseen?
Jeesus, Jeesus...
//Translation
Once I was driving the car and gave Jesus the wheel
I trusted him with my life!
From there the car crashed to the bottom of a lake!
Now because of Jesus I'm in the ER
Jesus, Jesus,
why would you do it, Jesus?
Now I lay plastered motionless
day and night
Jesus, Jesus,
why would you do it, Jesus?
I can no longer enjoy life!
Once at the horse racing track I let Jesus choose the start
I bet all my money
The starting pistol hit the horse in the head
Now because of Jesus I am penniless!
Jesus, Jesus,
why would you do it, Jesus?
The creditor took my car, my house
my kids and even my clothes
Jesus, Jesus,
why would you do it, Jesus?
Now I am wearing a barrell for clothing!
Once at the grill Jesus told me to turn the other cheek
when some big guy punched me
The second punch smashed my entire lower jaw
Now because of Jesus I am toothless!
Jesus, Jesus,
why would you do it, Jesus?
Now I enjoy my food trough a hose
Jesus, Jesus,
why would you do it, Jesus?
Even my own mother doesn't recognize me anymore!
Once I drank the blood of Jesus at the Eucharist
as I was polite I even got some bread!
But little did I know about liver cirrhosis or coeliac disease
Now because of Jesus I am dead!
Jesus, Jesus,
why would you do it, Jesus?
At the Gates of Heaven
Peter won't let me in!
Jesus, Jesus,
why would you do it, Jesus?
The only way left for me is to go straight to Hell
Jesus, Jesus,
why would you do it, Jesus?
This afterlife is filled suffering and torment
Jesus, Jesus,
why would you do it, Jesus?
Why am I not worthy of Heaven?
Jesus, Jesus..

Hyvää rillumareita ja jumalanpilkkaa, en voinut olla hymyilemättä. Erityismaininta upeille lauluharmonioille.

I liked listening to this. Fun to not know the language at all. but imagine I knew what was going on, and then read the translation and realize I was completely wrong. Happy Last Day of FAWM.

Really no idea what the song is about, but I like it anyway. Nice delivery and good use of the different instruments. Thanks for posting
