Who's listening in 2020 because duh?

[@jr81999]

Amazing band! never gets old! Love these guys

[@melissaray6840]

Ive been listening to these guys since I became a Christian 20 years ago...Still my favorite Christian artists...they cannot be beat!🤗

[@dnmcfall]

Lol

[@gabrielcorderoaraya582]

I've been listening to this band for over 25 years. The new generations must learn

[@JimmySteller]

I’ll admit, I’m not a regular fan of this band, but thanks to Todd in the Shadows, I found out about this song and I’ve been hooked on it ever since. Such a great bit of music.

[@jankriegel3098]

I really dont understand how can band like Jars of Clay have only few thousands of views. For me it is one of the best bands!!!

[@christopherwall1804]

I agree 100%

[@tatianahinestroza5901]

Yes absolut!!

[@mateusgale]

Never read something so true

[@Lo0kBehindYou]

I recently stumbled upon a graph that compared the average IQ of fans in relation to the music they liked. Jars of Clay was one of the fan bases studied and the average IQ for its fans was on the high end of the spectrum in comparison to many other artists in different genres. So with that, feel flattered. Artists such as Wiz Kahlifa had fan bases with extremely low average IQ scores. The amount of views Wiz gets verses Jars of clay show you that there are a large amount of stupid people listening to stupid music. I think the obvious is that Jars of clay get much less views because there are much less people that can truly value and comprehend their music..

[@drfenderfunk]

Jan Kriegel They were huge in the mid-late 90's, almost as big as DC Talk was. Their first album sold 2 million copies and their second album (with this song) sold 1.6 million. That is phenomenal for a Christian rock band, most of which never even see an album of theirs sell Gold. Their popularity fizzled out over the years though because they chose to go the experimental route rather than just keep making songs that sound like "Flood" over and over. That is why they don't get many views nowadays, but they are still together and God is still making beautiful, thought-provoking music through them, and that is what matters.

[@rudolphwilliams2142]

We need more music like this on the radio..please God...

[@rafaelamarra9627]

You're cold that way And that's why you say The things that you say You can't attract The things that you lack You're trying in vain It seems it's always the crazy times You find you'll wake up and realize It takes more than your saline eyes To make things right You spiral down You've broken your crown You don't feel like a queen You've seen the proof But you're still crying wolf You'll never believe It seems it's always the crazy times You find you'll wake up and realize It takes more than your saline eyes To make things right You try to climb a broken ladder Grip the missing rungs And fall down, down, down, down Seems some time ago you said This wouldn't last And now you sit here crying, yeah Beside your bed You feel left for dead You kneel in the dark It takes more than your saline eyes To make things right It seems it's always the crazy times You find you'll wake up and realize It takes more than your saline eyes To make things right

[@donatogarcia3835]

Luv the song and lyric, thank you

[@zahraashby4184]

​@@donatogarcia3835 It's really good. Probs my favourite song from them so far. (I literally discovered this band like 10 mins ago)

[@wesmcashan6144]

Performed this song for a church thing once. Played guitar and drums several times in front of crowds, but this was my first time singing. Wish there were camera phones back then. The only person that gets to hear me "sing" these days is my girlfriend. She's still with me, so she either loves me unconditionally or my singing isn't all that bad. LOL

[@kevarilla]

Ok fellas, here's what we had in mind for your wardrobe. "Make the collars bigger" Ok, how's this? "Bigger." Ooookay, like this? "BIGGER!" I don't think they can get bi- "WE DON'T PAY YOU TO THINK!! BIGGER COLLARS! ...or you go back to working with Big Tent Revival!"

[@jessicapalmerin3159]

As a kid I grabbed my CD and asked the DJ at our block party to play this song! Everyone loved it!

[@bryangillis9016]

First time I heard it , I like

[@Rando-Igno]

Every time I hears this song I'm reminded of the days I spent in my room playing Much Afraid on my stereo while spending hours playing Final Fantasy VII

Can you get any more late 90s than that comment right there? 👍🙌🧘

[@wayne6541]

I’m not a Christian, but I love Jars of Clay with all my heart.

[@bradtippa7523]

This was one of the greatest songs for me in the 90s- 30yrs later and it’s not only still a great song bit the memories attached are priceless. How has this not been a top 10 song? Possibly poor publicity? As song was killer then and still is.

[@mrm64]

Ah something bout the 90's man....I mean I love today's CCM/Gospel but I grew up with Jars of Clay, DCTalk, Kirk Franklin, Hezekiah Walker, Michael w. smith, Amy Grant, Mary Mary....the freakin list could go ooooooon. I miss these childhood days so much...but thats just my nostalgia speaking, Thank God for today ^^'

[@Kurama9Tails]

Don't forget about DC Talk!!

[@anonymoushippopotamus3862]

I found God again and this band came back along with. God speed! :)

[@SchardtCinematic]

They wrote this song way ahead of 2020. The real crazy times were in now

[@jackanderson6511]

Amen to that Brother, God help Us,Jesus is the Only Hope, Be Blessed!

[@ryanjofre]

One of the Christian bands that kicks ass.

[@emmanisms]

this band introduced me to Christian music and now im forever hooked and loving it

[@S_u_n_Flower_]

Are you a Christian?

[@godschild3332]

@@S_u_n_Flower_ hey, I know you!

[@Seetiyan]

Me too! Well I'd heard Christian music already, but not in English. This band introduced me specifically to American Christian rock/alternative music.

[@abhijeetdey7739]

I'm a hindu and I like this song. 🙄

[@Craig419]

I always come back to the Much Afraid album. So many great songs. Including Crazy Times.

[@heart349]

Even when I was distant from God, there was something really comforting about Jars of Clay music. I always feel at home when I listen to their early stuff.

[@jamesbowers7343]

I am not religious at all but I’ve always dug jars of clay

[@justanotherhuman9883]

I could be wrong but I feel like God draws us closer to him through lots of different things you know.

[@angelvpineda6843]

​@@justanotherhuman9883amen and it's not through these false Christian closet case homosexuals. Jonathan Clay couldn't make it as a rock band so they try to put on sheep's clothing but they were a bunch of ravenous wolves. Yet in 2014 they showed their true colors.

[@andyman9801]

Check out the song Flood by Jars of Clay it's amazing

[@amandajeanne8936]

Wow wow wow I’m 36 years old. I’ve changed my life around for the better. I’ve been rocking out to Christian rock and this band was on the playlist. Love love love this band!! And you even have music videos!! I’m going to find you on social media Xoxox thank you for being you I love your music

[@Colee7]

This is what you miss about 90's?

[@HeidiBroyles-y2m]

Thank you Lord for this song from Jars of Clay 3:00

[@Pepsolman]

Although my beliefs have changed and I no longer believe in modern day Christianity, this music still invokes memories and emotions like no other. They can even bring me to tears. Really awesome music.

[@S_u_n_Flower_]

I hope all is well

[@alexisvalencia3723]

I love that song and y love jesus

[@jamesheverling7841]

A favorite of mine and my theme as well. Blessed be to God & Jesus!!! And to jars of clay as well !!!

[@randyh.7782]

This takes me back to my high school days, everytime I listen to this song. *Much Afraid* is a great album from 1997. I was in my junior year when it got released.

[@tabitharoberson3575]

Love this song. I was 7 when it came out

[@jonathancastro3106]

The golden years of the Christian music, DC Talk, Audioadrenaline, News boys... Amazing bands, it's a shame they tagged themselves as gospel or Christian bands, all the world should have appreciated this great songs.

[@S_u_n_Flower_]

Don't sell your soul for the world.

[@cmikesmith664]

I’d add PFR. One of the best along with Jars of Clay.

[@musikbox08]

A mixed tape with just Jars of Clay and Dc Talk = perfect maybe a lil Sixpence None the Richer thrown in too

[@guitargeekette]

AW man to this day this is one of my fave songs...the 90s, just had a great music vibe. This is still one of my fave mellow Christian songs.

[@violetnjokisorenson8354]

有些歌听过一次一辈子也忘不了，十年前中国某电视台mtv节目里看到，十年后才凭借着非常模糊的记忆和歌词的只言片语在youtube上找到，非常感慨。

[@jbeauf00]

One of my favorite Jars of Clay songs.

[@abhijeetdey7739]

I heard this song in VH1 Channel in the year 2000. That was a long time ago.

[@shoelover64]

This is a beautiful song! I love, love, love it! Only Dan could sing it like this, just beautiful!

[@Nakedprey]

I remember when this song was on 12 Angry Viewers on MTV where a panel of guest voters decide whether a video is going to enter MTV's rotation. This one got rejected. Shame. It's one of their best songs.

[@banterforbelievers8491]

Was a good call on the shows part.

[@stein1919]

I love Jars of Clay,; sweet guitar solo.

[@livewireOrourke]

This song is hauntingly beautiful. It's an instant time machine to the time period when I first got saved.

[@MikeLOldham]

Yeah it was nice music. Good luck with escaping your delusion.

[@UserQyeurh34]

These guys aren't really Christian and we shouldn't listen to them. They were advocating for LGBT! (Spit)

Why is the Copywrite listed as 2002 when the song came out in the mid 90's?

[@FaZeZombieslayer]

Real music, real truth.

[@ballthemblack]

I miss the 90s. This was a classic on many Christian radio stations

[@MissMiki76]

The REM of Christian music!!! And one of THE best.

[@charlesdjones1]

Perfect description! Fan of both bands btw.

[@markhunter8554]

It's funny you should say that. I once heard an add on Christian radio that went: 'if you like this (secular artist), then you'll like (Christian artist).' The band they paired with REM was Third Day. And I thought 'Sorry but I've been listening to REM since Murmur, and Third Day's not even in the same arena. The Christian equivalent of REM is without a doubt Jars of Clay.'

[@harmonicagoose9676]

I am here just for the Tod In the Shadows review.

[@patricklauer4452]

TheChris Show same!

[@tinacofalls9202]

TheChris Show that’s what I like about his one hit wonderland series, it gives attention to the entire careers of some really good bands, hell, I’m a full blown Semisonic fan because of him. While I only really like the more mainstream rock side of this band, this song is actually pretty good too.

[@90out10]

I enjoyed Todd in the Shadows review of Flood and Jars of Clay. I'd be inclined to agree with his overall assessment that Jars of Clay is the tale of two bands. Almost every other albums that released was either ultra Christian (I want to fall in love you) OR alternative rock dominated like Flood and Crazy Times.

[@pauloricardodossantos8096]

Como eu não conheci essa banda antes? Gloria a Deus

[@rozzie101]

I love Jars of Clay, they were one of the 1st Christian bands I listened to when I got saved...

[@GlenNewsome]

This was from the year I graduated high school. What a flashback! Saw them in concert in 98. Good times.

[@JOHNWALLACE.]

They have and are blessed and an incredible band!!

[@kimwalter4425]

This is very true George Pupparo..not everyone will have a clue of the lyrics unless they were really around..good observation and opinion!

[@maniciris]

Damn I forgot about this song....

[@ModelCitizenTube]

I got y'alls autograph when this album was out, and I had my tonsil/adnoids removed. Only I have your Platinum album which I found out was initially self titled. The person I was with bought this one and y'all signed it too. Still go to albums.

Because of my bestfriend i know this great song.

[@SarahJacksonLV]

this song is current theme song of our state of the union lol

[@fsugirl98]

Uh huh. That's what Satan wants you to think. His job is to put a negative spin on anything that is connected to God. His job is to convince you that there is no eternal hell, there is no God and thus no Jesus, and that it is ok to live and die in your sins. There is no brainwashing, just good old fashioned faith in the Messiah. Get it right Paulo before it's too late. God loves you despite what you say but in the end, we all will be judged for what we did on this earth.

well sf59 and the prayer chain were great christian rock bands from the 90s but they were on the more indy side and maybe even harder. i recommend listening to The Fashion Focus by SF59 and Mercury by The Prayer Chain. both are good and highly acclaimed by secular and christian music listeners. the least you could say is that when people say christians don't have good rock music just show them those bands and they'll easily change their minds. they're both on YT as they have a huge following
