“The little drummer boy“ is a Christmas Carol with the message that seems to be really important in our times - it is about daring to give gifts and to do your best, regardless of how small or insignificant you might feel. It’s about believing that your best will be good enough and approved. It’s about finding strength to do the right thing in the time of need. The message of importance of being a generous giver and a gracious receiver is particularly close to Petrus’ heart and something he tries to teach his own children, through this simple and beautiful story.
We have decided to create a collage video of this single in collaboration with finnish visual artist Juha Karikoski () and use his powerful images of Finnish nature to reflect upon the matters of strength and beauty, hope and faith, determination and passion.
Lyrics:
Come, they told me, pa rum pum pum pum
A newborn King to see, pa rum pum pum pum
Our finest gifts we bring, pa rum pum pum pum
To lay before the King, pa rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum.
So to honour Him, pa rum pum pum pum
When we come.
Little baby, pa rum pum pum pum
I am a poor boy too, pa rum pum pum pum
I have no gift to bring, pa rum pum pum pum
That’s fit to give a King, pa rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum.
Shall I play for you, pa rum pum pum pum
On my drum?
Mary nodded, pa rum pum pum pum
The ox and lamb kept time, pa rum pum pum pum
I played my drum for Him, pa rum pum pum pum
I played my best for Him, pa rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum.
Then He smiled at me, pa rum pum pum pum,
Me and my drum
Me and my drum
Me and my drum
Me and my drum
