Randy Newman is the deepest cat there is. All his music is deep a true artist essential stuff .
This whole album is pure writing genius.
Best American song writer since Stephen Foster. Cruel lyrics over achingly beautiful music. Saw him play in Vienna and had a chance to spend time with him. Humble, Funny guy. An American hero who's music will endure.
He has scored 9 disney pixar animations including all 4 toy stories...He has received 22 academy award nominations personally and his family has had 92 academmy awards noms for various music related efforts...3 emmy's and 7 grammy's...his family extends over generations in film scoring and are non observant jews and he is an atheist ...hence the song.
Thanks for the details Mike!
And that is not even his best stuff. His albums 12 Songs and Sail Away are far better. Stuff everybody should listen to.
After listening to "Old Man", I thought that he might be a deist, not a straight-up atheist.
Randy Newman is criminally under-rated! This song, Political Science, Burn On, Shame, and his concept album Faust are must listens. FYI, he wrote Mamma Told Me Not To Come (Three Dog Night), You Can Leave Your Hat On (Joe Cocker in 9 1/2 Weeks), and Lonely At The Top (multiple covers).
Wow, thanks for the info Mr Wackaloon! ‘Mamma told me’ is a banger!
And Louisiana 1927
Etta James tears this up good and proper. I really like your channel, you hit some interesting off-trail musical territory.
He is one of my favorites.
I am also a big Zappa fan.
Newman has such a huge catalogue, each track more brilliant. Avoid the Disney soundtracks and dig deep. "In Germany Before the War" is amazing.
Thanks for the tip Edward!
No song could be more relevant to the present times with cities burning in Ukraine, and children killed in Ukraine and in the USA. This is one of my favorite songs, not only by this great lyricist but in the whole popular music. Makes me litterally cry everytime I hear it. This cynical attitude of God he describes is one of the strongest parable ever written.
As if this hasn't been happening in different places over the world before Ukraine. Why has it only become relevant now with the Russo-Ukrainian war?
@@nanashi2146 Because I write this today. Don't search for argument when there's no reason to.
@@didierchapelot5671 Are there not other, more severe conflicts in the world today?
@@nanashi2146 More severe than children killed by bombs or guns? I leave it to you man.
@@didierchapelot5671 You don't think children are being killed by bombs and guns in Syria, Yemen and Iraq (of the 1.3 million dead because of Bush's war in that country)? I'm not trying to compare tragedies, what's going on in Ukraine is awful, but it just makes me sick when people act as if everything to do with war and conflict has become so much more meaningful when Russian invaded and the war started, because, as a consequence it dehumanises and trivialises all the other suffering that has been happening across the world outside of the West. And this is only compounded by the reporters and broadcasters who openly say that Ukraine is different because these people and children are blond-haired and blue eyed or educated or civilised. Human rights and equality amongst all people is a lie, nobody actually believes in it
Ah, Randy Newman. An American original
The song isn't called God, it's called God's Song (That's Why I Love Mankind)
Love you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love you too Renee, thanks for being here!
@@SightAfterDark Awe!!!!!!!!
Haven't heard this in years - I could still hear where the clicks, crackles, and pops would sound on my record
Beautiful! Love vinyl
Try his Short People... Great.
Also .... Look up a tune, The Vatican Rag.... Brilliant
i think the message is 'god's an asshole and we are made in his/her image' (it's not blasphemy if you snuggle the bhagavad gita as you type). a little touch of tough love sir randy style - hallelujah!!
.....ps there is also a great version by the mighty miss etta james!!
Thanks, it's pretty dark, yeah
Great stuff. Have you fallen out? Why are you in different rooms?
We have not☺️. We’ll be back in the same room soon!
Not sure if you have reacted to Zappa´s... Dumb all over.......Peace.
Thanks for watching Dave! We’ve reacted to the whole “You Are What You Is Album,” but it’s on our Patreon.

@@SightAfterDark That´s great, I will catch up with that soon, question? I think I signed up to your podcast, but i´m not sure, love what you are doing here, more power to you.....Peace.
Hey why I don,t always agree withe your reaction selections
and you seem to have a fixation on Frank Zappa which I liked at the
time and was a precurser to the band Sparks, I always liked thier themes
I have to compliment you on staying on a song reaction format.
It seems like alot of the other reaction sites have turned to
thier own personality attraction sites with contests and pictures of the kids.
and thier own personal abilitys musically. Please stick with your format
of strickly music reaction and you will always have my subscribtion
We appreciate you Robert!
Man puts everything out of proportion...we hear people say how does god allow children to die...but time that we think is long is a blink and suffering comes and goes like good times.........Angels are indifferent to our wants and needs....How could they watch the horrors we produce without being indifferent...Like when they open portal to Tartarus and creatures spew from the depth of dimension at Cern...they know they will be indifferent...they could not care whether we live or die...but the creator loves his creation...He is being quite flippant accusing god of valuing us no more then a blade of grass....He does play piano...and is a good song writer but he was not in a good space when he wrote this.
You and Randy assume that there is a creater.... Always nice to have someone to blame....
@@davidgale7384 Don't think Randy Newman believes there's a creator. This song actually imagine what he would be if there'd be one. And the conclusion we can draw is that it would not be the God that we are usually described.
@@davidgale7384 Randy is an atheist...actually from a jewish family...his family is so secular that he had to ask his father ''what is a jew''after he was tormented at school.
Blame for what...?
The period from 1800-to the 1900's was known as the period of the ''soul less scientists''...The royal societies mission was to take the creator out of creation...They very much succeeded as some of the greatest scientist gathered for a autopsy of a human body with special attention to the heart...The scientist leading lifted the human heart and said ,''see..it is just a pump''dispelling the idea in religious iconology of a sacred heart,,,,,,Years later they wired up volunteers to the brain and heart and they showed the subject images of nice things and horrible things....What they discovered for some reason the heart would accelerate before the horror image but not before the pretty image...The realised that the heart responded before the brain...It knew before the eyes had seen the image as if by some intuition...They then discovered the heart has neurons similar to the brain and they react before the ocular/brain neurons response....Now in the hermetic 7 principles the first principle is ''the all is mind...the universe is mental''...That is why an electron on the other side of the universe knows if a change is made here...every thing operates like blockchain technology...if one thing shifts then the whole knows...Some people believe that matter came and then intelligence developed...Like that stupid ''theory '' of Charles Darwin''...As if man evolved and then intelligence sprung forth....NO...the intelligence was before the formation of the material..In the beginning was the word....but before it began their was the thought...NO one blames the creator and most certainly the pot can not deny the potters hand...the clay can not say to the creator you did not create me and surely we are not green algae in a kitchen sink...Even those scientist who had the agenda of washing the idea of a creator away to make way for their new world order of the 1900's to clean away monarchy whose authority comes from above....Watch the USA...WHEN A KING is unrighteous then the yield of the crops fail...The bounty of the milk from pastures are no more when truth is not in the authorities judgements...Watch the USA now..As the democrats and republicans ignore what is righteous..Those physicist who study higgs boson and string theory all return to the belief in a creator and glory is the creators..
@@didierchapelot5671 you are correct...he is an atheist,,
As someone who has studied & feels the presence of God in the world every day, this is just a silly cynical take on God's relationship with mankind. Yes, there are hardships in life, but that doesn't mean God is absent. The real question to ask isn't Where is God in this world full of pain & tragedy, the question is Where is Man?
We truly appreciate your take Deeper Mind! Thank you🕊!
Wherever man is, he's not cooking up childhood cancer in his lab.
@@kinksfan9781 Therefore what? The universe is random? Or, if there is a God, why don't you understand everything that happens? And what makes you think man's proliferation of pollutants don't affect levels of illness?
@@kinksfan9781 I was a believer, then a skeptic for a while and then something happened with my children that I will have to live with for the rest of my life. Then I realized that god doesn't exist and even if he does, he's an a$șhole. Not a single child deserves to suffer.
