2017 - September 15 and 16 - Dear God

I did miss yesterday - but I have been thinking about a one-two punch for doubters... I like songs that pose questions, especially about things that often are taken for granted. These two songs have the same title, Dear God, and the same questioning and seeking character, and they were released two years apart by musicians who definitely were in the arty camp of British pop music in the 80s. The first artist is the band XTC, who wrote their letter to God on the album Skylarking from 1986.

The second artist rose to fame in Ultravox, and is an accomplished singular and guitar player with a Unigue name. Midge Ure shared his prayer on the album Answers To Nothing from 1988.
