Dear God" is a song on the 1986 album Skylarking by English band XTC, written by Andy Partridge.
The first verse and closing line are sung by the then eight-year-old Jasmine Veillette, the daughter of a friend of producer Todd Rundgren. In the video a boy lip-syncs her vocals. The lyrics are addressed to God, and vividly describe the range of human suffering, which the narrator attributes to God. Partridge concludes every verse with the line "I can't believe in you". Despite a prayer-like quality, the lyrics strongly imply doubt as to the existence of God ("Did you make mankind after we made you?")
It is ranked #62 on VH1's 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders of the 80s despite:
Never having charted on the Billboard Hot 100.
Peaking at #37 on the Billboard Album Rock Chart. |
