To all the people wondering what the Shakespeare wife line meant: his wife was illiterate. So gods work compared to Shakespeare is like Shakespeares work compared to an illiterate

I actually prefer this to "From Gods Perspective", it just feels more honest and agressive. Not to mention I prefer the piano play of "Channel 5" more than "FGP"
i much prefer the more finished version of this song but the line 'my collection cup is the empty plate held by a homeless guy' is amazing and it's a shame it doesn't fit so well with the final song.
JM Monilla Instead of donating during the mass when they pass around the "collection plate", which funds the churches, you should just give your money to the cups/tin cans/hats/etc that homeless people offer, and fund who really needs it.
RaventhortheWarrior But the truth is, many of the homeless people that ask for money like that will not spend it on things like clothing or use it to try to get a job. They will most likely use it for drugs etc.
I really wish he released this version as a bonus for words words words or what. The part where the small bit of Channel 5 news leaks in is the best part, and "oh my, oh my God. I'm not gonna fix you." sounds nice.
That last line it's so great. I actually liked how From God's Perspective and Channel 5 News ended up being but It's also sad that this wasn't recorded in a better quality.
This is a combination of From God's Perspective and Channel 5 News:The Musical (obviously, because that's what every comment is about) but what interests me is that this version was completed to a point where he actually performed it on stage, and it was STILL split into two separate songs. I guess that's just the genius of Bo. If it's not perfect, he'll change it. And that's why there's usually 3 years in between his specials. Each song is crafted until Bo thinks it's perfect. You go, Bo!
He was saying Shakespeare is hard to understand and comprehend for most people, so people reading his writing would not even come close to understanding what he meant.
Now that I think about it, it must be really frustrating to be God. Having so many people blame you for what's wrong in the world and having the most annoying fanclub. I think Bo grasped this perfectly.
i think the reason he changed this so much for the final of what. is because he used the beat/pace/style and some lines of this in "Channel 5 News: The Musical" and then for "From God's Perspective" he wanted it to be more calm and without the "fuck you" part lol. Just what i think, even though i think some lines from this should've made it to the final version
I like how Bo takes one song and polishes it and turns it into a completely different product. And, he can still make a song with the same basis. Channel 5 News, Anyone?
My theory is that Bo is actually God. He is the smartest, most clever person i have ever heard. I think God made this song specifically for humans to send us a message.
This > From God's perspective + Channel 5 News. I'm a songwriter and this is making me think that the song in it's rawest form is best. Going to think twice next time before I go rewriting and recycling an original song.
Whether or not you believe in God, Bo does an awesome job turning the attention from God to ourselves. We must improve ourselves first; if God exists, He will take care of whatever he wants, right? But damn...we are high-maintenence, aren't we?
Bo burnham plays piano like an ADHD Stevie wonder he doesn't sway with it he bounces with it and slaps the notes with force like damn he cares about how we fucked up haha
+LeJuanCa It's just saying that a rain drop is in the air for a really short amount of time. The raindrop is us and the time to the ground is our lives.
I bet you one million dollars Bo is a complete atheist and this is his way of showing everyone how ridiculous it is to believe that some magical being created mankind, and the universe.
I don't get why people are discussing about God. But in both Rant and Oh My God he doesn't says anything bad about God, but about hypocrite believers that try to win God's favor. Even in Sunday School, he mocks the idea of an extremely religious and theist person, and maybe a bit of Jesus, but definitely not God.
I know this is a concept of From God's Perspective and the product of Channel 5 News but GOD DAMN i wish had this (Edit) i do like the songs but i wish we could get this at some point
This honestly should've been left how it was than he should've created another song from the perspective of god I honestly think this one isn't as good as that but a few of the lines in this are so much better than all of the lines together from the newer version
Everyone keeps posting about it sounding like a mix between channel 9 and Gods perspective. Look at the date, it was 5 years ago. Channel 9 came from this song (Gods perspective) and it turned into two songs. kinda cool
@fredloverr1 How does me compared to Shakespeare's like Shakespeare *invented* Shakespeare's wife make any sense. The lyrics in the description are correct
Can someone explain the "Me compared to Shakespeare's like Shakespeare compared to Shakespeare's wife," line for me? Is it because Shakespeare translated the Bible and he made tons of amazing poems and playwritings?
I love no and this song is so true, why should god love us if we're bitches... The irony is, he does! Haha also I like how he swings his head around :) oh bo

-and it's awful cuz all of its real-
No? Okay.
Heh, nice one.
The chord progression from this song also ended up in Channel 5 News (From God's perspective has different chords).
To all the people wondering what the Shakespeare wife line meant: his wife was illiterate. So gods work compared to Shakespeare is like Shakespeares work compared to an illiterate
Seems like he split this song into two songs, Channel 5 News and God's Perspective (obviously)
+The Walrus Yeah when I heard it especially the end part i immediately thought of Channel 5 news
he has tell me when you want and I will do my best I do if my head hurt I don't know
o she has tell me have abeyance hrheugdvduwzggsjagsywjswysgsyhagayagahagaywgshsgsysggetqgsgywggbnhdvggGwwgzsgßhshßh3h3gg3gegegehehegg33sygßhgèfvcßvvHhjjàha6h7 uh88i8î677hi
m,y
yeah there was only one part from it lol
i like this more than the finished product.
I actually prefer this to "From Gods Perspective", it just feels more honest and agressive. Not to mention I prefer the piano play of "Channel 5" more than "FGP"
MrMysterySweGuy I wholeheartedly agree
MrMysterySweGuy I know most of Bo's songs, but what is FGP?
julia :0 From God's Perspective
It's short for "From Gods Perspective"
oh thanks!!!
i much prefer the more finished version of this song but the line 'my collection cup is the empty plate held by a homeless guy' is amazing and it's a shame it doesn't fit so well with the final song.
My exact thoughts, i was upset when i didn't see this version on "what."
Also really sad the raindrop line didn't make it in...I find that one really deep.
Can you explain me this line, i dont get it.. please "cause my real collection plate is an empty cup held by a homeless guy."
JM Monilla Instead of donating during the mass when they pass around the "collection plate", which funds the churches, you should just give your money to the cups/tin cans/hats/etc that homeless people offer, and fund who really needs it.

@@liamryan7239 Basically.
I really wish he released this version as a bonus for words words words or what.
The part where the small bit of Channel 5 news leaks in is the best part, and "oh my, oh my God. I'm not gonna fix you." sounds nice.
That last line it's so great. I actually liked how From God's Perspective and Channel 5 News ended up being but It's also sad that this wasn't recorded in a better quality.
Yeah. There is a better quality version but its shorter because its from just for laughs
"I made every girl different, and they're perfect just the way they are."
this song is way more powerful than it should be, its so eerie
This is so cool seeing the beginnings of this song. It's to the tune of Channel 5 news but the topic of From God's Perspective.
This is a combination of From God's Perspective and Channel 5 News:The Musical (obviously, because that's what every comment is about) but what interests me is that this version was completed to a point where he actually performed it on stage, and it was STILL split into two separate songs.

You go, Bo!
Most comedians and singers do that, they’ll perform songs that they aren’t exactly at their potential and then see how the audience react to it.
It's been three years now buddy come see the new one
I really like this better than the regular perspective of god on what.
Garrett Curry
God damn it.
Listen to, “Channel 5 News: The Musical”
You’ll like it if you like this
I love how this kinda branched into two different songs, channel 5 news the musical, and from God's perspective!
Underrated song (even though it's the prototype of God's Perspective).
Honestly my favourite Bo Burnham song, If only it ass the complete song when he was on ''Just for Laughs''
He was saying Shakespeare is hard to understand and comprehend for most people, so people reading his writing would not even come close to understanding what he meant.
the bridge is like his 'channel 5 news', anyone else notice that?
Megan Buckland the chord proggresion is the exact same for those songs
Read the comments. Literally everyone noticed it
He's really good at music
bo burnham
"Hahahaha"
"what"
Now that I think about it, it must be really frustrating to be God. Having so many people blame you for what's wrong in the world and having the most annoying fanclub. I think Bo grasped this perfectly.
i honestly prefer this over From God's Perspective
fuck the break down at 2:40 really gets me and also the melody is amazing
violeta you can hear more of this in his song "channel 5 news" c:
i think the reason he changed this so much for the final of what. is because he used the beat/pace/style and some lines of this in "Channel 5 News: The Musical" and then for "From God's Perspective" he wanted it to be more calm and without the "fuck you" part lol. Just what i think, even though i think some lines from this should've made it to the final version
I love seeing how this song became “From’s God’s Perspective” and “Channel Five
News.”
I like how Bo takes one song and polishes it and turns it into a completely different product. And, he can still make a song with the same basis. Channel 5 News, Anyone?
My theory is that Bo is actually God. He is the smartest, most clever person i have ever heard. I think God made this song specifically for humans to send us a message.
Just for everyone that didn't study literature, shakespeare's wife was illiterate ^.^ ironic
bubbleMod Oy vey
Jaxzoom I guessed so because she was a woman in the 1600s
ISNT THAT a I R O N I C
I need a piano tutorial for this asap
same.... i can sorta play it and when i sing it it kinda sounds like the song. but i dont know how to play it fully
Skye Leya
hi
hello
Channel 5: The Musical tutorial
This > From God's perspective + Channel 5 News. I'm a songwriter and this is making me think that the song in it's rawest form is best. Going to think twice next time before I go rewriting and recycling an original song.
Whether or not you believe in God, Bo does an awesome job turning the attention from God to ourselves. We must improve ourselves first; if God exists, He will take care of whatever he wants, right?
But damn...we are high-maintenence, aren't we?
I love the chorus, Idk why...
KiwiKing SAME
Always come back to this video. This is my favorite version of this song.
Everyone: This is a mix between From God's Perspective and Channel 5 News
Me: No shit.
His stuff is getting deeper...And I love it :D
Honestly, same
I love Bo's new songs. I think they keep getting better and better. I Love him!!!
Bo Burnham!!
the begining askljfklagf "ehehhe wut- hahaha whAT-?"
Best sound quality I've heard on RUclips, I'd advise adding lyrics to the info.
The video i watched right before this was from the second show on the exact same date. You even commented on it lol
I like this one better.
Lyrics are perfect great job
'Oh My God'! See what I did there~ 8D BUT! I never knew there was a different version of this song! Bo is just... Perfect.
mikebud420 this song is called oh my god....
so no i don't see what you did there except for writing the titel down....
Half way through the song he looked like he was hyped as fuck
"hahahaha what?"
this is a perfect song
old version of From God's Perspective?
Radam53142 yup
Radam53142 actually it's more like he split the song in two to make From gods perspective and Chanel 5 news
holy shit i love this so much i think i might even like it better
@1:30 its like hes looking into your SOUL
The piano reminds me of lake shore drive a bit
Video tape it and upload it
Hahahahahah what?
Good idea, I think ill add that later on today.
Truly great song.
I NEED A PIANO TUTORIAL FOR THIS
He changed this song! I saw him in Boulder last night
:D im seeing him at UConn on April 12th, hopefully he has some new songs coming out!
Bo burnham plays piano like an ADHD Stevie wonder he doesn't sway with it he bounces with it and slaps the notes with force like damn he cares about how we fucked up haha
This is better than "God's Perspective"
And this really sounds like the channel 5 news the musical
That's because it is. It's amazing how he can come up with different stuff for the same songs and chord progressions.
because they're the same song, or at least the same chord progression.
I'm going to sound stupid for asking this but I don't get the raindrop line. Can someone explain that to me?
+LeJuanCa It's just saying that a rain drop is in the air for a really short amount of time. The raindrop is us and the time to the ground is our lives.
Duncan Tucker pAa
And the short fall of the raindrop proves how little answers we find before we die
This song is my life rn
Its the format of channel 5 news but gods perspective
Seems like a variation of a different song, still good. A Song From the Perspective of God, I believe it was.
It's probably the other way around, I guess this is the first "draft" :)
Yeah the other version seems a lot more polished
AHorseWithNoName It sounds like the song channel 5 news if you listen closely.
AHorseWithNoName He has the Max part from Channel Five News thrown in there! Interesting.
The music was taken to Channel Five News, the lyrics were taken to From God's Perspective.
I bet you one million dollars Bo is a complete atheist and this is his way of showing everyone how ridiculous it is to believe that some magical being created mankind, and the universe.
love bo
And then it became the Channel 5 News Musical!
I asked Bo about this on Twitter and he said that he wrote channel 5 news and then turned god into this and then back to Channel 5 News
You can definitely hear it.
Unpopular opinion:
This is better than from gods perspective
Yeah. I like how he goes off in this
The logic checks out.
I really like this version better than the other ones 😁
I don't get why people are discussing about God.
But in both Rant and Oh My God he doesn't says anything bad about God, but about hypocrite believers that try to win God's favor.
Even in Sunday School, he mocks the idea of an extremely religious and theist person, and maybe a bit of Jesus, but definitely not God.
what song are you listening to. they are fine. they match exactly.
I like this way better than From God's Perspective and Channel 5 News
1:07 I love it.
I know this is a concept of From God's Perspective and the product of Channel 5 News but GOD DAMN i wish had this
(Edit) i do like the songs but i wish we could get this at some point
0:36 Song Starts
Channel 5 news wrote this song and made bo sing it about god
Oh jeez I’m shooketh
oh my god, from god's perspective, channel 5 news
This honestly should've been left how it was than he should've created another song from the perspective of god I honestly think this one isn't as good as that but a few of the lines in this are so much better than all of the lines together from the newer version
This is amazing how come he didn't add this into his shows
MR. SQUIGLE69 because he changed this into channel 5 news the musical and made a different perspective of god song
SacSaint 916 yeah but this should've been an extra that wasn't performed I would love to see a studio version of this
genius
2:50 sorta sounded like his other song channel five news....
Everyone keeps posting about it sounding like a mix between channel 9 and Gods perspective. Look at the date, it was 5 years ago. Channel 9 came from this song (Gods perspective) and it turned into two songs. kinda cool
Lol bo is insane i love him
And i love this versiom better than the what. Version
This is by far my favorite comment on this video hahah!
God's perspective is way better. I'm glad he disected this song to make other good ones
Brandon Delaire this version is funnier the other is deeper
This sounds awfully familiar to channel 5 news
its the same song, but different words
@94skatergirl07 Yup! this was the second show though
Better than from gods perspective
Either him or Arin Hanson.
Really? because im quite certain they match the song pretty well
wowww
Okay, sorry for the long ass wait, lyrics are up.
the end is Channel 5 News lol
@delsonmaster122 Yeah I thought so too, and he also seems more into himself if that makes any scene
Anyone know a video of this song, but in better quality?
@fredloverr1 How does me compared to Shakespeare's like Shakespeare *invented* Shakespeare's wife make any sense. The lyrics in the description are correct
Can someone explain the "Me compared to Shakespeare's like Shakespeare compared to Shakespeare's wife," line for me? Is it because Shakespeare translated the Bible and he made tons of amazing poems and playwritings?
Shakespeare's wife was illiterate.
good lyrics
but my god, the piano playing..i have a migraine now
@bubbleboss1022 He is an atheist, and as one myself I think if there is a god, I do not want his job LOL
I love no and this song is so true, why should god love us if we're bitches... The irony is, he does! Haha also I like how he swings his head around :) oh bo
