"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 (fr)
