rdfs:comment
"Dear God" is a song by the English rock band XTC that was first released as a non-album single with the A-side "Grass". Written by Andy Partridge, the song lyrics grapple with the existence of God and the problem of evil. Partridge was inspired by a series of books with the same title, which Partridge viewed as exploitative of children. The song was originally intended for the album Skylarking, but left off due to concerns from Partridge and Virgin Records. After college radio DJs across America picked up the song, US distributor Geffen Records recalled and re-pressed Skylarking with the track included. Dear God est une chanson du groupe britannique XTC, sortie en 1987. Le narrateur s'adresse à Dieu, mais refuse de reconnaître son existence, son ou l'inspiration divine de la Bible. Ces paroles anti-religieuses incitent plusieurs magasins à refuser de distribuer la chanson au Royaume-Uni. La chanson est d'abord sortie en face B du single Grass, mais rencontre un tel succès qu'elle est rééditée en face A. Aux États-Unis, son succès incite le label Geffen à l'intégrer à l'album Skylarking à la place de la chanson Mermaid Smiled. * Portail de la musique • section Chanson * Portail du rock Dear God (Caro Dio) è una canzone del gruppo britannico XTC composta da Andy Partridge.

Dear God est une chanson du groupe britannique XTC, sortie en 1987. Le narrateur s'adresse à Dieu, mais refuse de reconnaître son existence, son ou l'inspiration divine de la Bible. Ces paroles anti-religieuses incitent plusieurs magasins à refuser de distribuer la chanson au Royaume-Uni. La chanson est d'abord sortie en face B du single Grass, mais rencontre un tel succès qu'elle est rééditée en face A. Aux États-Unis, son succès incite le label Geffen à l'intégrer à l'album Skylarking à la place de la chanson Mermaid Smiled. Dear God s'est classée 99e de l'UK Singles Chart et 37e du Billboard Album Rock Chart. Elle a été reprise en 2003 par le rappeur Tricky sur son album Vulnerable. * Portail de la musique • section Chanson * Portail du rock "Dear God" is a song by the English rock band XTC that was first released as a non-album single with the A-side "Grass". Written by Andy Partridge, the song lyrics grapple with the existence of God and the problem of evil. Partridge was inspired by a series of books with the same title, which Partridge viewed as exploitative of children. The song was originally intended for the album Skylarking, but left off due to concerns from Partridge and Virgin Records. After college radio DJs across America picked up the song, US distributor Geffen Records recalled and re-pressed Skylarking with the track included. Partridge was dissatisfied with "Dear God" as he felt the lyrics were not representative of his views on religion, which was partly the reason it was left off Skylarking. The song's anti-religious message ultimately provoked some violent reactions. In the US, one radio station received a bomb threat, and in another incident, a student forced their school to play the song over its public-address system while holding a faculty member hostage. Partridge also received a plethora of hate mail. He stated that he "felt sorry" for whoever he upset, however, "if you can't have a different opinion without them wanting to firebomb your house then that's their problem." The music video for "Dear God", one of the first to be directed by photographer Nick Brandt, received the 1987 Billboard Best Video award and was also nominated for three categories at the MTV Video Music Awards. In 2009, the song was ranked at No. 62 on VH1's 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders of the 80s, despite the fact that XTC had higher charting singles in the decade. In 2011, Todd Rundgren, who produced the original XTC recording of the song, recorded a cover version for his album (re)Production. Dear God (Caro Dio) è una canzone del gruppo britannico XTC composta da Andy Partridge.
