- From fourth studio album by the acclaimed prog rock band from Kingston upon Thames - 'Sing to God' (1996) - considered their finest. Song not on RUclips so thought I'd do the world a favour. Released as a single in '95, with only 1000 copies of the CD produced. Written by frontman Tim Smith (RIP) & ex-bandmember Jon Poole

One of the most beautifully triumphant-sounding songs I've ever heard. Whatta man you were, Tim Smith.
Sent this to a friend after I've been listening to it constantly for a few years. They said it sounds like a combination between Willy Wonka and Shrek.
That's somehow so accurate I can no longer sleep at night, please send help.
im dying
The Oompa Loompas should definitely have performed Cardiacs songs after every child gets bollocked by one of Wonkas machines.
Take one I Am the Walrus and one Bewlay Brothers and call me in the morning.
I love the subtle Napalm Death influence in this song.
Grindcore undertones
One of my all time fave songs. Thank you Tim Smith, may you rest in Peace X
This band became one of my favourites VERY quickly. I knew they would.
Haha poor you. One day you’ll be dead!
Lyrics:
Blind be spirit core with its lies
Burned as bright as a rocket, all falsehoods set alight
Flamed raised in shame on a speedier course
And who's to blame for
Breaking it's own self-inflicted graceless home?
Blind be spirit-core with it's lies
A misty veil hides a pitiful vengeance born to sail on
All of the seas and a never returning
Needs to take some beauty sleep
Deep in the oceans and obsolete
Kindly spears core with its penknife
Blind be spirit and lost again
And dust in eyed
Heavy heads get buried deeper
Sand in scratching naked eyes
Lost again in a lie all dreadful
Oh yeah!
When truth looks like a lie, in a different way and kept alive and
Bound by bad chains, in a
beautiful cage
Inside is fear and stable minds
Always forever questioning stubborn you
Befriending your tears, and in a different way
The need to take some beauty sleep
Deep in the
oceans is obsolete
Blind be spirit-core with its lies
Sand in scratching naked eyes
Lost again, in a sea sick land all weepier
Blast me silence and hurt me ears and blast again
With a rifle all dreadful
Oh yeah!
Blind be spirit, dust in eyed heavy heads get deep and-
Truth looks like a lie, was held it out to him
Who shook the tree viciously for love!
Blind be spirit and lost again
And dust in eyed
Heavy heads get buried deeper
Sand in scratching naked eyes
Lost again, in a sea sick land all weepier
Blast me silence, and blast again
With a rifle all dreadful
Oh yeah!
Belly-eyed bleeder all terminal, deceive, you fever of the order
Comes up swimming up a shape with a stinging tail
My favorite song off of Sing To God. RIP Tim Smith ❤️
... but what's the bit that shouted repeatedly after "Blind be spirit, dust in eyed heavy heads get deep and-"
I've seen it written as "Stowed away!" in one place, and "Still alive!" in another place. Flip!
I misheard so many of these lyrics lol
Absolutely a top 5 or even top 3 Cardiacs song, Tim Smith is a genius etc. etc. except here's the thing, Jon Poole wrote this song! With Tim Smith being of the compositional caliber he is, and considering the general consistency and multitude of great cardiacs songs, its amazing this song still shines so brilliantly among the whole Cardiacs discography. It's Jon Poole's Miracle!
Ps. his band the dowling poole and their album bleak strategies is good too!
God I wish the part at 4:13 was longer, though the song is still a triumphant banger
It's just glorious
At least 3,000 of those views are from me
Getting some big Bowie vibes from this one.
Scary Monsters era maybe?
Considered their finest by the younger demographic of the fanbase. In my opinion their other albums are as good if not better. Problem with Sing to God is the production is just so compressed, the music suffers from noise, unlike the better produced early albums which really breathe. I think Tim was wanting to do things beyond the power of contemporary technology.
glorious!
all timer
I can't figure out the second chord the acoustic guitar plays in the main progression on this. I'm pretty sure it's a C major but no matter what way I play it, it still sounds wrong
*4th chord
Don't know if this helps, but there's definitely an A in there somewhere, but it isn't C/A. Been trying to figure this out too. The second chord also doesn't sound quite like an Em, but it's also not quite an Emaj. Very tricky.
@@augustjschroeder I think he might just be playing an E5 then. I'm not at my house currently but when I am I'll try to see about that last chord
I'm 90% sure that it's an E7sus4. You can clearly hear an E on the bass and a D in the acoustic guitar. The sus4 part I'm assuming because there's a pad in the intro that keeps playing an A over the chord.
