Dear God

[Sherpa]

Oh my sweet lord (the proverbial one, that is), this song is incredible.

I knew it was JJ material as soon as it started.

It looks like the hip-hop influence has been manifested full front.

Check it out.

Which song?!

Which song?!

Dear God

[BH]

This song DEFINITELY deserves it's own thread.

[BH]

Who wants to post the lyrics.   I will sometime soon if nobody beats me to it.

[AMightyCaporal]

Dear god, I'm trying hard to reach you
Dear god, I see your face in all I do
Sometimes it's so hard to believe in
Good god I know you have your reasons

Dear god I see you move the mountains
Dear god I see you moving trees
Sometimes it's nothing to believe in
Sometimes it's everything I see

Well I've been thinking about,
And I've been breaking it down without an answer
I know I'm thinking aloud but if your loves
Still around why do we suffer?
Why do we suffer?

Dear god, I wish that I could touch you
How strange sometimes I feel I almost do
And then I'm back behind the glass again
Oh god what keeps you out it keeps me in

Well I've been thinking about,
And I've been breaking down without an answer
I know I'm thinking aloud but if your loves
Still around why do we suffer?
Why do we suffer?

My favorite of the three...it sounds like Yim Yames took contol of this one

[Angry Ewok]

Which song?!

Dear God

Doh! My bad,  ;D

[Sherpa]

It's definitely my favorite out of the three, which isn't surprising since YY produces my favorite sounds out of them.

It literally took me about through his first round of bada-ba-bee-bada-bas before I was bobbin' my head and believing it to be a winner in my book.

The lyrics are also terrific. YY has been grapplin' with the subject of religion - as most of us do - for quite awhile. This was great in expressing the struggle. Having gone through a similar struggle in my life, eventually concluding that I don't think there's such a thing as God, I can greatly relate to the conflicts sung in Dear God.

Good stuff.

[BH]

I wonder if they each wrote their own lyrics to the parts they sing.

[capt. scotty]

Im waiting until the album comes out to get all the songs, but from the clips Ive heard, I like it.

Really sounds like a Flaming Lips song to me, not complaining, just saying.

[Sticky Icky Green Stuff]

good song.  good EP.  can't wait for the full thing.

[slimsloslider]

this song is gorgeous, just gorgeous. jim's having a harder time cloaking his curtis mayfield influence, and we're all benefiting from it. i've said this before of jeff tweedy, but i thank the lord that i'm alive at a time when jim james is making music.

Dear Dear God,

I got on your bus a little bit later than some of the others around here, but in that short period of time, you have given me a glorious ride. Up, down, right, left, and into the 10th dimension...it has been fun and I thank you.

good afternoon, good evening and goodnight,
joey_rogo (sincerely joe)
