Dear God

1986 · via XTC

XTC’s 1986 recording of “Dear God” is the earliest release on file. Andy Partridge of XTC is credited as its writer. Also recorded by Tricky (released 2003), Leæther Strip (released 2023) and Sarah McLachlan (released 1995), among 26 recordings of this work on MusicBrainz.

From the counter

Partridge wrote this one for his own band, and it still traveled; Tricky picked it up in 2003, and so did Sarah McLachlan before him. Play XTC first, then Tricky, and hear how far one song can wander from home.
