Dan Le Sac vs. Scroobius Pip - Letter from God

[@FreeRsGuides]

My RE teacher shown me this when I was about 14, looking back she was cool AF - she would always try and make the lessons as fun as possible and you could pretty much say whatever you wanted and she'd just debate with us but always respect our opinion.
RIP mrs boylan

[@billyallen4228]

Was shown this by my RE teacher too

[@MyUnoriginalUsername]

Drugs Bunny same however I was 13

[@JacobP81]

That's so awesome.

[@naomiblah8092]

I was shown this today and Im 14 lol

[@mariplange4601]

Drugs Bunny my English teacher did the same

[@PushedButton]

This is almost 7 years old and it somehow seems even truer today than it was in '07.

[@big-bonkin-head1034]

True words live on forever. Of course this song has flaws but still decent overall

[@Bigsmak]

2019 now.. So - Much the same!

And I'm agreeing today, 5 yrs after you posted that....shit, humans really can't pull their shit together. My hope is in 5 yrs...it won't apply so well!

[@andrewperry8268]

7 years on and this still rocks my world. This tune will be their legacy as they will be parting company in a few weeks time . I think they made 3 albums,but playing live was always their strength.

[@studleydave]

A prime example of how good his lyrics are! Just such an amazing talent. I've been listening to him every day since I bought the album, and his songs still inspire me and get me thinking. Looking forward to seeing him live! :-) ... Again!

[@Zmanwiththeplan]

one of the greatest, most powerful songs i've ever heard... i listen to this song at least once each day

[@lucasglanville2880]

Is no one talking about the great Radiohead "Planet Telex" sample?

[@shambles3833]

This song always leads to me listening to Planet Telex...
Planet Telex always leads to me listening to this song.

[@christurvey9161]

You are

[@gois3r]

thats what i was thinking. as a radiohead fan im pleasantly surprised to see that people have sampled some slightly more underground songs like planet telex. and this song is like really good too.

[@lordfarquar9215]

Scroobius always has great production and samples. Never fails to successfully mix more than one genre and what's crazy is it sounds like he's reading a poem yet its so musically fantastic and catchy.

[@eggbear9555]

@@lordfarquar9215 Dan Le Sac very much a part of it too ..

[@TheCabIe]

Really awesome way to make the God feel relatable. Just a guy who happened to be there and wanted to create something beautiful, but his creations fucked everything up. Remember when I first heard the song 7 years ago, randomly came back to it and it's still powerful and meaningful.

[@alexr4834]

Well i think the point of the song has nothing to do with religion god is just a midden to make people look at society more subjectively.

[@ashleedawn456]

Couldn't agree more. The character that is God is portrayed with such brilliant relatability. This song is so damn timeless and bonus for using Planet Telex as a sample.

[@tommatthews7982]

2022 and this is still on point

[@geeeze2403]

Never heard of this guy/group/ensemble until a few minutes ago when I heard this track on Xfm. Had to listen again as I was driving at the time. WOW!! Lyrics are heavy! I'm not the intellectual type,but I'm sure you could write an essay all about what is being said. Definitely added to favourites!

Makes me teary whenever I listen to it.

[@boylelaura]

seeing them in december.
cannot wait.
their lyrics are just...amazing.

[@Nonalir]

I think this should be the official video for this song, the lyrics are all laid out and easy to follow, and it puts the message of the song across much better than any 'official video' ever could in my opinion. And what a message. Such an amazing song with amazing lyrics. Pay attention people, this man talks sense.

[@setra23]

"this apology is to mother nature, cause I created you"
Bamn! Awesome lyric.

oh to have the obvious ability to lay down words in such a way that envoke passion and meaning, provoke responses from the masses and comments from the heart...genius

[@SilentSolvent]

I'm in love with this song and these lyrics, and I think you did fantastic in laying them out so clearly and in a manner that was fitting. I really appreciate your work so that more people could understand this amazing piece of work.

[@BeesKneezs]

supafuckinmingster the first words in the song "This is a letter form god to man" he's obviously talking about people and not god. :P

[@christonclarke6510]

God Knows all things beginning and end. He knew we would behave this way even before he created us. so, does that mean we call him evil? NO! definitely not. Man needed to learn to appreciate their God and the only way they will learn this is to see what the absence of God does to a beautiful world. Under free will, man will have to choose whether they want to live for themselves or for God, and that is the hardest but most fair challenge. God is never Wrong and does not need to apologize.

[@theangryfish5619]

what about cancer

[@tkitsz]

If god is all knowing why treat is in such a way if he knew for a fact I would hate him for it? Could the all powerful have not found a solution that befits EVERYBODY? Is he not wise enough to teach without killing?
The gods made by men are endlessly flawed with human emotions and petty squabbles.
If there is a god, we haven't found him yet, and I'm certain he hasn't shown himself yet.
All the make believe people still believe in today.... It never stops to amaze me...

[@christonclarke6510]

tkitsz​​ Idk idk​​The word God or the being that the Bible calls GOD is and will always remain the most powerful being there is....man hates and fears what they cannot understand. My point is, 'GOD' loves but is no servant to man, he does not need to answers to you, Moses or Abraham God answers to No one. He does as he pleases. It's up to u whether you want to submit to the one who made you or run away because we dont like rules and hate being obedient to the one who gave them. For obeying his word 'the bible ' and believing in his son, he promises eternal life and to prepare a place for you in heaven. That's all God ever promised. He did not promise a cure for cancer, nor people from steeling your property, or terrorism. 

[@tkitsz]

christon clarke
How? He made the person stealing from me, knowing he was going to steal from me! What a dick! I don't hate or fear the Bible's god. I think he is imaginary.
I never wanted a servant, but I'd be cool if he could stop with the floods and earthquakes and shit.... How about stop making shitty people and shitty parents? How about he DIDN'T create stupid stuff like greed.
If God does not want to take responsibility for all the bad shit he does, why should I? I mean he's the most fucking perfect being there is right? Why expect flawed beings he made knowing full and well they were going to be flawed to follow all his rules, while he can't even do it himself? It's like asking for the impossible, expecting it to work every fucking time. Like a baby trying to fit the triangle into the square....
The god from the Bible more often sounds like a 5 year old child with way to much power rather than an all knowing, all powerful, and all benevolent being. ''He does as he pleases'', That's exactly what the fuck is wrong with him. I do the right things everyday because I am held accountable for my actions. Nobody holds God accountable for his, so he can do whatever the fuck he wants. You're an idiot to think that whatever he does is good, just because he is a god.
When I kill it's always bad, but more often than not when he does it, it's just His way.... Fuck that shit. If he wants me to believe in all of his holiness, he'll first have to show me he's actually holy. Like people only becoming a doctor after they have proven to have all the knowledge and skills to be one.
How bad is that? And if that is really bad right? WHY THE FUCK WOULD HE MAKE ME THIS WAY?! It's like setting me up to fail in a mission given to me from day 1. Your god is a shitty god....
As I said, there might be a God somewhere. But I'm certain it isn't any of the Gods we worship today or have worshiped in the past.

[@peznmiri]

You seem to know a great deal this. Where do you get all of your impressive level of knowledge about how the universe works from? It's almost as if you're in fact all knowing rather than this "God" person you speak of.

[@apenneukende]

I'm gonna see them in Paradiso Amsterdam on April 1st. Can't wait!

wow! i got chills! that is a very thoughtful and amazing piece.

i want scroobius' beard haha

I love this video, much better than the "official". Big respect - sometimes simplicity is genius.

[@Nietsro]

Simply amazing. All points are fantastic executed.

[@frnklicious]

Consider that every "fact" that we have now is the product of the overthrowing of another "fact" and you'll realize that any fact can, too, be overthrown by another truth, no matter how impossible it may seem. this is a good way to live.

♫ This video is beautifully righteous and I have the deepest admiration for it's masterful orchestration.
❤ The elevated comprehension and cohesion of these abstract topics is infallible, intriguing, and impressive.
☮ The lyrical genius demonstrated is clear. I am blown away by the palpable, passion and fluid articulation found in each concise collection of captivating words.
☑ TRUE TALENT THAT'LL MAKE YOUR HEART SKIP A BEAT!
☑ THUMBS WAY UP!

I liked how you mad the font bigger towards the end its was subtle and smooth.

[@djgilbo]

Well done on the video, fits the song so perfectly that I thought it was official! I mean, I get hairs standing up on end down my arm when listening to the song, this video only increases that experience, nicely done!

[@elektriksheep]

Sh**, I thought this was the official video (I've only just come across this song) but I just read the "more info" panel - nice job, man. Nice job indeed - I definitely found the lyrics hard to follow when just listening to the audio track, and your animation definitely solved that problem - nice one. What an amazing song.

[@cloudofconfusion]

great job!
you really drew attention to the lyrics which is a great thing.
if i had listened to the song via another medium for the same time i probably wouldn't have gained as much understanding/followed as much as i did now.
haha sounds kinda deep.. :)
anyway.. thx man!

[@stopstealingmyname]

The original tune is by Radiohead called planet telex I think Don't remember it being on Dogma though I haven't seen it for a long time.
