Circe Link - Dear God (XTC)

[@marianadam9721]

Of course she is an awesome singer but cmon guys why is nobody recognizing that the guitarist is doing a superb job as well?! Both are good as hell. Great combination!

[@pigsnott]

He's actually the best part!

[@djia977]

She's doing a great job of not only singing but communicating the essence of the song (the anger at a passive god) through her acting. It's really a fantastic performance from her, but not to detract from the guitar at all. A truly remarkable pairing

[@nazfrde]

You mean Mike Nesmith's son?

[@3t3doug]

I've never left a comment before, they seem quite pointless. But this is the best version of this song I've ever heard. Thanks for your awesomeness.

[@MichaelB769]

It’s good but check out Sarah McLachlan’s cover

[@maxx87]

sublime guitar playing

[@iamthevieve]

Gorgeous cover! I had goosebumps listening to it. The raw emotion towards the end spoke volumes.

[@terryburgess_89074]

I am taken back! Your rendition was outstanding. The guitar work was skillful and poignant the vocals clean and soulful. I am your newest fan. Thank you. Yes, I'm sharing this.

[@circelink]

Thanks much, as I responded above, we did the angle on purpose, so much more intense and childlike in a way.

[@ryanpatricksanchez]

amazing both...voice and the guitar...great cover....

[@Sunnbobb]

I not only love the simplicity of how you covered this, but the camera angle is superb. Well done.

[@stevenweis5639]

I know right?! I was thinking the same thing too! It’s as if she is looking directly into God’s face

[@circelink]

Thanks Lee, it's such a timely piece of music. And no matter what one believes the genius of these songwriters asking some basic questions all men have asked, and doubted, is profoundly moving to many!

[@DaRyteJuan]

The original band is XTC. This rendition is a cover of the song that was released in the early 80s.

[@akymkabylss580]

Bravo 👏 😍 j'adore 💕 merciiiii 😉 💋 bonjour de France 🇫🇷

[@paulbourdon1236]

Great cover! Favorite line: "Don't know if you've noticed but your name is on a lot of quotes in this book, us crazy humans wrote it, you should take a look" The Bible: Exhibit A in the war crimes trial.

[@MrTrevor181]

Great cover - enjoyed it tremendously!.

[@bknight3693]

Beautifully sung. All the points that this song speaks of are exactly why I came back to God. I am not so wise as to teach or preach but I love you all and I hope you all have health wealth and long lives full of love and happiness. God bless.

[@gearyw8639]

That was an awesome cover. Probably the best cover of anything I've heard.

[@jinraizen3884]

''' The Man Who Sold The World - Nirvana ''

[@SteveFrenchWoodNStuff]

Awesome cover of an awesome song! Well done.

[@MrBasildondave]

Brilliant cover, superb guitar and beautiful vocals. Still a great song. Brings a tear to my eye

[@mboezi]

Nice touch that they are looking up the whole time. Perfect.

[@neutronstarpilot4393]

I'll be honest I was looking for the original, but that was an Awsome!! cover hats off to the pair of you like super well done

[@Andraste77]

There aren't enough "likes" on youtube for this one. Elegant in its simplicity, and clarity, direct and poignant. You nailed it. You win! Thank you!

[@dramac333]

Magnificent singer, magnificent song, magnificent message.

[@00GHeroes]

Amazing cover great voice and guitar.

[@carlosandres1989]

Great!!! ;) Greetings from Peru!!!

[@darrenmcmillan9378]

I'm a child of the 80's. I just found this song searching for 80's songs to add to my playlist on Spotify. This is an awesome rendition! Thank you!

[@christophernewman7574]

Just like the first time I heard it, gave me chills. Great song great performance!

[@josh19dow88]

Kudos! Very nice version of a awesome song

[@CoachGlaze]

Very sweet rendition of an epic tune. Enjoyed It! Guitar playing was outstanding also!

[@MsCussout]

Great job both of you! Can't wait to see you guys next weekend.

[@Sunnbobb]

Wow, the first time I ever really "got" the lyrics. nice work. The camera angle is art.

[@jarrettglosson6898]

This song came out the year i was born, I never heard it until many years after becoming an atheist, but its message was exactly how i feel and im glad i eventually found it and know im not alone in my way of thinking.

[@jordyliv3]

Best cover Ever

[@chazk7530]

I've taken a lot of drugs in my life but I've never taken xtc quite like this

[@elitewarrior3951]

Oh to transfer funds f on card to card

[@laughingdogink155]

Haunting....your version...love the guitar...and all of it.

[@waynetrek]

It's pure perfection.

[@venbear3]

I am a huge XTC fan and an even bigger atheist, and you've done the impossible here. You've topped Andy and the boys. This song was meant to be stark and simple. It makes its' message more compelling. Thank you for delivering an epic performance. I can't wait to hear what you have next!

[@HendrikDelagrange]

My goodness you dive deeper in the song than XTC themselves. Impressive

[@devinnault6683]

Truly spectacular. Loved the song and it's message

[@eviehammer7178]

Omg you just blew my mind! You have a beautiful voice! Girl I give this a 100000000/100000000 :)

[@DeepSkyDude]

EXCELLENT cover. Wow.

[@circelink]

Yep, we did the angle on purpose, glad you noticed that detail. So happy you enjoyed.

[@Bajiyeen]

how am I only finding you now? Your voice is amazing and I love this song, you do it justice with your bluesy style :)

[@bairontruano]

Dear God hope you got the letter, and... I pray you can make it better down here. I don't mean a big reduction in the price of beer but all the people that you made in your image, see them starving on their feet 'cause they don't get enough to eat from God, I can't believe in you Dear God, sorry to disturb you, but... I feel that I should be heard loud and clear. We all need a big reduction in amount of tears and all the people that you made in your image, see them fighting in the street 'cause they can't make opinions meet about God, I can't believe in you Did you make disease, and the diamond blue? Did you make mankind after we made you? And the devil too! , don't know if you noticed, but... your name is on a lot of quotes in this book, and us crazy humans wrote it, you should take a look, and all the people that you made in your image still believing that junk is true. Well I know it ain't, and so do you, dear God, I can't believe in I don't believe in I won't believe in heaven and hell. No saints, no sinners, no devil as well. No pearly gates, no thorny crown. You're always letting us humans down. The wars you bring, the babes you drown. Those lost at sea and never found, and it's the same the whole world 'round. The hurt I see helps to compound that Father, Son and Holy Ghost is just somebody's unholy hoax, and if you're up there you'd perceive that my heart's here upon my sleeve. If there's one thing I don't believe in it's you....

[@thecharlesfoley]

Beautifully done. Actually made me tear up.

[@MrsPeaceLiberty]

Wow, impressive cover, your voice was perfect, really thank you !

[@D4NNYT92]

wow this is great! the guitar really compliments the feeling in your vocal delivery. really good job guys (y)

[@shsdeauperez6021]

XTC version (the original) is in the movie "It".. loved this song for years... Me eyes light up when I heard it in "It"... I knew many people would go searching for it:)

[@prytulac]

XTC! This was the only song I heard from them! All of your acoustic songs are wonderful!

[@pssywagn]

Love this song!

[@jackiebarfield8701]

I agree with jim b. Absolutely the best cover of this song EVER!!!

[@mtbmac2692]

One of my favourite songs covered superbly.

[@taniacarvalho7367]

Great,great job!

[@rakai1234]

Great cover! 👍👍

[@luciajaen1534]

I really liked this cover, thank u for doing it! :)

[@adrianarias4919]

great voice!

[@marianateles3759]

maravilhoso!!!!! parabéns!!!! ameiiii

[@WxvessGraphicsss]

I think this was in the new movie IT 2017

[@victoriahanna7685]

Caustic Calico that's how I found it haha

[@djia977]

I'd love to find this song on one of their albums but alas I haven't. It's so rare to find a cover that encapsulates the raw emotion of the original yet is able to amplify it. This cover is simply the best I've heard of anything from XTC, the anger implied in the lyrics really cuts through. You deserve much wider exposure

[@circelink]

Thanks for the kind words, it’s a demanding song to do because of those poignant lyrics, and we really strove to give it the consideration it deserves. 💛

[@vincemr5150]

Omg!!! That was the Best cover of Dear God I've heard...good job

[@catsgonom]

This songs message is exactly how I felt before becoming an Atheist. Too much bad shit happening around the world for an "all loving" god to exist. He's either just sitting by watching or he doesn't exist.

[@charlescox86]

Exactly. I was in Iraq when it really hit me. I wasn't an atheist yet but I knew there and then there if there was a god he had abandoned us. That place was pure shit, if you could imagine a land that god had forgotten it was that place.

[@catsgonom]

charlescox86 And I imagine that place is pure shit because they only care about "allah" and not the quality of living for their citizens..

[@charlescox86]

***** Well thats probably part of it. The other part was that we removed the dictator that kept the two warring factions docile.

[@yahnope9576]

Bad Shit doesn't all come from GOD, there is another player in the world, and his NAME IS SATAN, and also alot of BAD SHIT comes from OUR OWN CHOICES, that GOD GIVES US. We are not God, we do not know why things happen and why they don't WE ARE NOT ALMIGHTY AND RIGHTEOUS AS HE IS. WE ARE DUST, and too many people think they know it all, and know better than God. There is so much proof that GOD IS REAL, ....just look at the JEWS, look at ISREAL, look at the 4 BLOOD MOONS, or better yet READ THE BIBLE, and LOOK AT THE WORLD, and everything it says is ACTUALLY HAPPENING RIGHT NOW. THE BIBLE IS REAL, and NAILS LIFE RIGHT SMACK BETWEEN THE EYES. Oh yes, GOD IS REAL, but we should NEVER EVER TEST OR TELL HIM WHAT TO DO. So sad so many people are going to be left behind. LOOK AT THE WORLD AND LOOK AT ISRAEL, there is still a SEALED DOOR TO THIS VERY DAY, that when jesus comes back he will walk through. ALSO the DEAD SEA SCROLLS WERE FOUND, right before the jews RETURNED TO ISRAEL, just like the BIBLE SAID THEY WOULD. WOW man, you have to see that there is something out there HIGHER AND POWERFUL THAN US. THERE IS JUST WAY TOO MUCH PROOF THAT SHOWS THAT THERE IS A GOD. Jesus will be coming soon, why else do you think HISTORY ADVANCED SO RAPIDLY OVER THE PAST 100 YEARS??? MAY GOD BLESS YOU, and SHOW YOU HIS LOVE. Stop looking at SATAN's EVIL WORK, and LOOK AT GOD's LOVING CARING WORK. Take Care.

[@catsgonom]

YahNOPE Delusional much? God and satan are not real, dipshit.

[@tomclark7850]

You guys friggin' nailed it! Awesome job.

[@gopopeye2]

Best. Cover. Ever. Omg, this was great, well-done!

[@circelink]

Thanks so much, it's not such an easy song to do, so much emotion. Glad you liked it.

[@pernelle.marsjr.3461]

Thank you for singing 👍🙂 sounds great

[@jamesdursocaplanides1577]

Excellent cover!!!!! This song was made to be remade. Its deep and accessible.

[@elgatodancing]

Great cover!

[@stevenweis5639]

Wow 😮 you guys both did a great job on this song! I mean it.

[@kentville72]

What a great cover guys!!

[@DaRyteJuan]

You guys do this haunting justice. 👍🏻

[@bacon3003]

song of my life.. perfect

[@zay8630]

This track is so commendable

[@zenisnothome]

Most beautiful cover 😍😍

[@juddeoive3457]

This is the best cover I've ever heard

[@paulipaz]

Wonderful cover! Love it!

[@haha-ls1to]

I was looking for a female cover of this song for so long, it’s not that the original version of this song is bad, but the beginning when the girl is singing is arguably the best part

[@circelink]

Thanks so much!

[@haha-ls1to]

@@circelink no problem! You two are actually so talented, your gift to the world is music keep giving that gift ❤️

[@dominiekstorme2532]

prachtige gitaar en de sound magnifico

[@HassanRadwan133]

Really beautiful - thanks!

[@descartesproject]

DEAR YOU!! You are wonderful!!!!

[@buxvan]

yes. I've got to agree. brilliant cover.

[@hqmhqm]

outstanding cover!!

[@CristianDiaz-tg1pj]

I enjoy the voice of the first verse in the original but the rest is ok. This cover brings the WHOLE song to life with your lovely voice!! Bravo!!

[@johnmavroudis2054]

Wonderful, wonderful!

I love this cover!!

[@asdfghjkugbirgb]

amazing cover

[@rakai1234]

Great cover👍👍

[@SooziinCa]

GREAT COVER!

[@Andraste77]

And yes, it definitely has to be emotionally tough because there's a lot of subtlety about it, along with the build-up, and that amazing resolution. Andy Partridge is a tremendous writer. And given the news lately - there's a lot behind it.

[@clamupcalmdown]

The fact that you are looking up at the camera wasn't lost on me. A good performance and a more compelling video than XTC's.

[@dennylloydable]

Fantastic Cover 👍🔥

[@JohnFruscianteBR]

Amazing

[@RANDOMNESSbyJack]
