This is a link post A moving song about a 100 year old church (by co-creator of the Shoreditch Twat)
Come on, that title alone has to pique your interest.

Anyway Daniel Pemberton is a prolific composer of TV themes/music as well as doing the Shoreditch Twat and other journo stuff.


This is a song he did about a church being moved hundreds of miles across the US on the back of a very big lorry.

From Youtube desc: "Features the 40 strong Manning Chorus in what is possibly one of the most bizzare bits of TV I've ever been involved in - a musical number at the end of a show about, basically, feats of engineering skill. Some of the footage is amost Fellini-esque."

It's a year old but I don't think it's been posted here before and it's quite nice to watch.

This is a normal post Yay! That's great.
Although I was disappointed, because when one of the subtitles flashed up I thought it said "into town on shitty wheels". Unfortunately when they sang it, it was "sixty".

This is a normal post yeah, hopper...
it's something to do with the light and the saturation - i can spot a hopper painting a mile away, but i'm not totally sure why...

This is a normal post Fuck me
That's fucking phenomenal.

Ignore the pun, because I actually mean it - I was moved by that. It's so American in approach, but in one of the few good ways left.

You've made my week sir.

This is a normal post I'm not quite sure why...
...but this is the funniest thing I've ever seen. And simultaneously quite beautiful.

All churches should do this - perhaps in a self-propelled manner though.
