about this song
“Dear God” was inspired by a series of books with the same title, which lead singer Andy Partridge saw as an exploitation of children. The song is essentially a letter to God asking about his existence. The opening verse is sung by a friend's eight-year-old daughter, Jasmine Veillette, but was later lip-synched in the video by a young boy. Originally released as a B-Side to the song "Grass," this was not included with the original pressing of Skylarking.
