This little light of mine

[The Village Too]

Maynard sings

"this little light of mine, it gives your past unto me,
ill let it shine, "

I had to sing this lame little song as a child in a private christian school

"This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine, let it shine, let it shine"

Maynard was brought up as a christian, he probably had to sing the same lame song. I just like the fact that he's employing a lame child's christian song to eerily haunt his mom's eulogy.

I can't wait for him to employ
"I am a C, I am a C H, I am a C H R I S T I A N.
And I have C H R I S T in my H E A R T and I will
L I V E E T E R N A L L Y"

The whole song, imo, is him speaking of how pure is mother was, and how other christians are lacking in comparison to her sin free ways. Along with many other messages, things all tie in, blah blah blah, I love it.

The song harkens back to his commentary for 'Judith' on the APC DVD. They would always be nice to her, but then when she wasn't around would talk shit about her behind her back or something. So yeah, he was pissed...

I always enjoyed singing those songs.
You must have had a cold childhood.
Poor you.

C'mon. At some point you had to have grown out of singing "this little light of mine."
I imagine at a point long after you were still encouraged to sing it.

yes i heard that and that is the point where i had my first breakdown
my mother would also sing this to me when i was young
and then i continued till i found my own light

[justlikeme]

I used have to sing that song too in school.
I thought it was quite nice to fit it in like that. Made it even more beautiful, I thought. If thats possible.

lol...I remember signing that shit in church too....
