I feel like the kaleidoscope is a metaphor for the layers of questions we deal with as humans and the emotions we deal with on a daily basis. Why do we suffer and yet see so much beauty on a daily basis? I go forward so much only to be pulled back...lovely?/and aggravating. Beautiful song and imagery. Let me listen again ❤
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?
Punctuation would help: "I know I'm thinking aloud, but if your love's / Still around, why do we suffer?" Painfully appropriate song as we endure the shocks, surprises and abject lies and misery of the 2020 election season. I question if God as organized religion defines him is still around. (And no, I won't be reading any replies to this.)
lovely and soulful song and video...I’m just sad I’ve only now discovered this. feels odd to have not known this song at one point, weird as that might sound.
This song is beautiful. I respect this band, and Logic for choosing to create another form of art from this gentle song. This feeling makes me want to create another beautiful art from something like this.
I'm a frightened radiologist, practicing at a general hospital in Mexico City. It's May 5th 2020, I was told today is gonna be the covid19 transmission rate peak. And here I am, listen this song, waiting for the worst to come. Dear God...
Josh Ross-Nickson remixed it you good say. Songs called dear god 2.0 and has em in the music video. Roots brought me here As well. Never heard of these guys but they’re cool.
I found this song after trying to figure out why my favorite band, The Roots, named their song "Dear God 2.0" with the 2.0. Now I know why, and I am glad I looked into it. Turned me onto something new.
I think this song is about how they want to believe in God..but some of the stuff that happens in life just makes it clear that there isn't. On the other hand many of the wonderful things that happen to them must have a higher power behind them. This is about the struggle we have to understand what this "god" is and we all have doubt sometime or another. But thats just me...great song
I have XM in my car....and this song was played on Tom Petty's channel..... Apparently Tom likes it. Makes me like him and miss him and that much more. Like another comment said... If you're a seeker.... This song is special.
i don't think it's about doubting God as much as it is about asking questions about the world. the fact we have free will creates suffering.. but who would want to be a puppet where we couldn't choose love that wouldn't make sense
@Draxzar The chorus? I think you mean the beat. I just listened the entire song through for anything else on the trevor dandy song that reminded vaguely of this. The only thing I could hear is the drumbeat and the guitar that pops in and out once in a while.
@Istaysmoking Kid Cudi sampled Is There Any Love by Trevor Dandy, not Dear God by M.O.F. I know the percussion sounds the same but Cudi didn't sample M.O.F.
@ericsaywhaat Thats how I heard about them. The roots new album is so dope and this song is amazing. I play dear 2.o at least 3x a week. Real hip hop and real musicians
hip-hop and folk are two sides of the same coin, leonard cohen and bob dylan being two of the greatest poets in folk and kendrick lamar, tupac, and black thought being three of the greatest poets in hip-hop
@sidheartraja True that. I guess I should've been a little more clear. WE are the ones who made and still make all of our own choices......which may ultimately destroy us.
great song! Everybody wonders sometimes whether God exists or not. The question of why do we suffer i would say because of sin. God made the world in His image to begin with and then the devil brought sin and teptation into the picture. When man fell by giving into the temtation of the devil, the world God created in His image became imperfect and was therefore no longer in His image. Sin is the reason why we suffer in this world......which is why God created another world after death.
@cobrala The only thing quantum mechanics really tells us right now is that we don't know much of anything, we cant explain the lack of dark matter and have no idea what the properties of dark energy, the most abundant stuff in the universe, are among other things. Quantum mechanics have provided no support of free will and feeds more into the randomness argument i originally posted, reference the "random walk" if you must.
Cool song!!! Did you dudes and chicks no that at the biggest object at 2:55 is actually a type of sponge....a basket sponge I believe!!!! Not that it was perposley placed here for this reason (only about a .00000001 percent chance) but that sponge represents married bliss in Japan...cool fact huh!!!
If you’re a seeker for a higher truth, this song hits home REALLY hard.
🙏👋❤
It does man. One of the best songs ever. So enlightening and beautiful.

Most beautiful song ever
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?

@@countrypaul just cut and pasted
Because when we suffer God is not the only one existing to our mind ?
@@dezlinglife not for an atheist, no, unless he's a hypocrite
My musical taste is SO stimulated right now.
Amazing. Think may be my favourite track of 2010 so far.
Favourite track off the album - Glad it's been released
lovely and soulful song and video...I’m just sad I’ve only now discovered this.

Dear God...
Say thanks to China.
Sliding the mouse cursor through the seek bar gives a nice thumbnail sequence.
Ha going back and forth is really neat.
The Roots brought me here :).... Love it
Same and I'm a big bright eyes fan I FEEL BAD
did the roots cover it? or just give it a shout out?
Josh Ross-Nickson remixed it you good say. Songs called dear god 2.0 and has em in the music video. Roots brought me here As well. Never heard of these guys but they’re cool.
The MOF album was one of my faves last year. Great from start to finish.
I found this song after trying to figure out why my favorite band, The Roots, named their song "Dear God 2.0" with the 2.0. Now I know why, and I am glad I looked into it. Turned me onto something new.
Yo i love these dudes man. This song is too hard for the world. Not the streets, the world!
Brilliant video.
gorgeous video!
@ericsaywhaat I'm with you. Amazing original that The Roots shed light on...both incredible.
I think this song is about how they want to believe in God..but some of the stuff that happens in life just makes it clear that there isn't. On the other hand many of the wonderful things that happen to them must have a higher power behind them. This is about the struggle we have to understand what this "god" is and we all have doubt sometime or another. But thats just me...great song
Great work on this video, i think i see a reference to cosmology and quantum mechanics, from the world of the large to the world of the very small.
Love this song
Still love this song.
God works in mysterious ways🙏😉🎶👣 Hebrews 11:1-3
this song reminds me of someone special. i smile when i hear it and think of them
Oh so lovely.
Such a groove. They should do another album.
Great video, along with the lyrics.
Makes me think and think...
So incredible.
You are right! I heard it for the first time last night. I had to have it on my list.
I love monsters of folk
absolutely wonderful stuff
@valetparkrrr I don't smoke weed and I enjoy this song. You don't need weed to enjoy great music.
Love the layers in the guys hand.
One hell of a video.
I have XM in my car....and this song was played on Tom Petty's channel..... Apparently Tom likes it. Makes me like him and miss him and that much more.
Like another comment said... If you're a seeker.... This song is special.
That moment when M Wards voice sooths in.
This was unbelievable.
RANDOM: This was saved to my favorites entitled: "My Shyt" about 2-3 years ago. I'm here re-visiting this song.
@ericsaywhaat
exactly!
Great song but never would've known if not for the Roots
Love it mof!
M ward would be a good feature on a Gorillaz album. Just a chill laid back smokey voice
@Istaysmoking it was Kid Cudi's "Is There Any Love" ft. Wale
Absolutely beautiful stuff - god stuff aside. Those strings and the harp are dope top-notch.
there is something extremely spiritual. god... dear song!.
i don't think it's about doubting God as much as it is about asking questions about the world. the fact we have free will creates suffering.. but who would want to be a puppet where we couldn't choose love that wouldn't make sense
But isnt there zero suffering in heaven, and we’d therefore
Be a puppet?
Such a good track
@DPrime215 i agree! thank you!
The Roots brought me here... 10 years later 💎💎💎💎
@jimhofmann most likely. the song itself is inspired by and/or samples Trevor Dandy's "Is There Any Love" -- recycled love from track to video
VIDEO AND SONG SIMPLY AMAZING
this is genius so glad the roots sampled this
@DPrime215 If you don't smoke weed and still enjoy this music, then imagine how MIND BLOWING it would be with weed
Goooooooooooooood band!
I'm late to the party on this one😢 funky dope😮
It's the oddest track off of the album it appears on. But it's my favourite, I wish MOF would do more material like this.
@Draxzar The chorus? I think you mean the beat. I just listened the entire song through for anything else on the trevor dandy song that reminded vaguely of this. The only thing I could hear is the drumbeat and the guitar that pops in and out once in a while.
@Istaysmoking Kid Cudi sampled Is There Any Love by Trevor Dandy, not Dear God by M.O.F.
I know the percussion sounds the same but Cudi didn't sample M.O.F.
Awsome!
@ericsaywhaat
I am pretty sure that kid cudi sampled this song too, cant remember what track but one does come to mind!!
@ericsaywhaat Thats how I heard about them. The roots new album is so dope and this song is amazing. I play dear 2.o at least 3x a week. Real hip hop and real musicians
We suffer because we choose to. That's free will. You have to make a choice to invite God in.
mmm trippy. I like this more than the other with the little girl.
@Hotsauce850 Thanks I downloaded the whole CD and did the wiki research. Checkout this guy's new cd with Bright Eyes - The People's Key, It's amazing.
@ericsaywhaat
Kid Cudi did too; look up "Is There Any Love" feat. Wale. he sampled the beat/rhythm
@Hotsauce850 YEES!!!!! Temazcal, my favourite!!!!!!!
Dios esta ocupado en asuntos más importantes que en escuchar nuestras plegarias.
Pero aquí seguimos, querido Dios.
I love Hip Hop, but I love Folk too.
Good
hip-hop and folk are two sides of the same coin, leonard cohen and bob dylan being two of the greatest poets in folk and kendrick lamar, tupac, and black thought being three of the greatest poets in hip-hop
good song, big ups to the roots for the ref.
@sidheartraja True that. I guess I should've been a little more clear. WE are the ones who made and still make all of our own choices......which may ultimately destroy us.
@GPadre Cudi sampled Trevor Dandy's song Is There Any Love.

@dprime215 - I DO smoke weed and I enjoy it MORE. You DO need weed if you really wanna enjoy your music.
@lukezabel15 Actually free will does not exist, our reality is either a product of a deterministic universe or a chaotic/random one.
@DPrime215 keeping it real. im feeling you man.
@Vaeocyn Where did you come up with that? What about Quantum mechanics or theory?
I would like to thank Zeds Dead for introducing me to The Roots who introduced me to Monsters Of Folk
@lukezabel15 we suffer because of we, not he (or her, or it)
killer track no doubt
@DPrime215
good looks man
@DPrime215 ah ok, thanks man!
"I know I'm thinking aloud, but if your love's still around, why do we suffer? Why do we suffer!?"

This reminds me of Danger Mouse, TBK and Michael Kiwanuka.
I wish this song went on longer...perhaps God do a rewind for us...
Gotta love a trippy song.
I really like the song, but I love the 2.0 version with the Roots.
This is obviously inspired by Cosmic Zoom (1968) - a short film that is availalbe on youtube.
What's the best song by The Roots? GO!
i dont know who the roots are, but im athiest and still love this song.
still a bop
@treavioli
Yeah! We are stardust!
Spirit playlist by Josh Keefe🙏
@makashka1 so not true. i used to smoke weed, but it this song is still hella chill.
@treavioli Oh wow, just looked this up on iTunes; cool song - thanks for the tip.
@matovic27 Who said it did?
Cool song!!! Did you dudes and chicks no that at the biggest object at 2:55 is actually a type of sponge....a basket sponge I believe!!!! Not that it was perposley placed here for this reason (only about a .00000001 percent chance) but that sponge represents married bliss in Japan...cool fact huh!!!
@11Jurriaan It's ok, I don't bite.
@Hotsauce850 not bad... what else you got
Hey for reals, I can't really judge cuz I don't smoke weed anymore but is the rest of their stuff this good or did they get lucky?
@DPrime215 but it doesn't hurt
@DPrime215 But there's no doubt it helps
