Two songs that are rather similar to these ears, both of which I like very much. Which do you prefer? ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |

Y'know, I like both groups but never cared for either song too much. Can't decide.

Both fine songs, but I love the Softs one more. ------------- My other avatar is a Porsche It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased. -Kehlog Albran |

Hadn't heard any of these before checking them out on Spotify now. Liked both. Can't decide which one I liked best, though, so no vote. -------------

Love both. I'm not sure. Musically, perhaps I'd give an edge to the Soft Machine one, but "God Song" has huge sentimental value as it's one that I would play pretty incessantly during a tragic time in my life. "God Song" is one that I would have difficulty putting on to now because of the memories I associate with it, but it's one that still plays in my head a lot. I''ll just say both. |

Dedicated is a Hugh Hopper composition, God Song is written (I believe) by Robert Wyatt . Dedicated is a hippy freak song, lyrics in the style of Lennon's metaphysical work, God Song is a cry of help, asking about god's existence. Dedicated has been covered more times (e.g. Caveman Hughscore, Keith Tippett - and even the BBC recording by SM is a RW's solo but quite different from the Volume 2 version). Therefore Famous parabolic versions for me.................... ------------- The best eclectic music on the Web,8-11pm BST/GMT THURS.

God Song for me, although I do enjoy the other. Prefer the version on Keith Tippet's album with the same title though. Fantastic album! ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.” - Douglas Adams |

SM's magnificent ballad. "God Song" is ... hehe, goofy,  but the music for that one is also brilliantly written.
