Jars Of Clay - Crazy Times

[@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.

[@wayne6541]

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

[@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

[@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. 🙄

[@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 ^^'

Don't forget about DC Talk!!

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.

[@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)

[@thesetruths1404]

​@MikeLOldham what do you mean?

[@cactusjoos14]

​@@MikeLOldham Jesus loves you.

[@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

[@jaredkuntzman8383]

I will always love this band.

[@mera450]

My mom used to listen to Jars of Clay nonstop when i was really young. Almost to the point where i started not liking their music lol. Im no longer Christian, but years later now an adult i cant help but return to their music. Im a big fan of alt/pop indie rock nowadays and i genuinely believe Jars of Clay deserves soooo much more recognition. Love you guys 💖

[@vindsvalrpdx]

I was raised in a fundamentalist household and never was convinced in the existence of supernatural entities, but when I was a teenager, I was only allowed to listen to Christian music, and I tried to make the best of that lol, it was rough. I saw Jars Of Clay a few times, same as Newsboys, Audio Adrenaline. I even remember this one band called "Mayfair Laundry" that was pretty ok. I remember when I saw the OC Supertones, and they started with that Metallica riff, I was very confused, looking around to see if anyone even knew or cared that Supertones were playing the "Devil's music" lol. I do agree though, despite the cringe lyrics, and the deceitful way that Christian bands try to trick people into thinking their music isn't based on theism, Jars Of Clay was a pretty good band, especially live. This song particularly was one of my favorites. I am so glad that my son is allowed to listen whatever he likes, and that he doesn't have to live in a fascistically theocratic household, so he can have internal freedom to be who he wants, and think what he thinks without his parent trying to control his interpersonal boundaries, whilst having zero system of their own for logic, and deductive reasoning.

[@vindsvalrpdx]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYa9h2ilbqx8p7c This was one of my favorites too.

[@Jaycelestra]

aug 1 2024 and this still sounds good!

[@anonymoushippopotamus3862]

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

[@joycamp7451]

LOL same thing happened to me this year , then their song Flood ended up in my recommended.

[@melissaray6840]

❤❤❤❤

[@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!

[@timothylee2772]

Crazy times indeed and it's 2025. This song is way ahead of its time. This song feels like a time travel into the future.😂

[@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.

[@ballthemblack]

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

[@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

[@truckieworffki8469]

BRO IM DOING THAT RIGHT NOW

[@BamaSMJ1]

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

[@musikbox08]

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

[@rudolphwilliams2142]

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

[@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

[@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

Such a 90s song!

[@olddays6733]

Why is this song more relevant now more than ever?

[@Craig419]

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

[@nicholasimholte7359]

Hard to believe the Flood guys could follow up with this. What range.

[@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

[@MindsetMom]

That guitar in the middle though. This song rocks.

[@jB-kj4so]

This was my Jam!!!!!!!

[@GlenNewsome]

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

[@natewilson5679]

I can remember this song from when I was a kid. What a great flashback. Praise be to God

[@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

[@ramenking5536]

Anyone else jamming this tonight?!?

Huge JOC fan! This song seems especially relevant today, in the midst of COVID craziness. Just posted it on my FB page.

An oldie but a goodie, brings back memories of when I was in the church youth group.

I'm a former christian and jars of clay is still at the top of my pandora list.

[@vanmoody]

Oh man. I can see getting mad at Christians but don't get mad at Jesus. He loves you. Life really stinks at times I know. But we can never give up our faith in Him and His goodness by the Cross,the ressurection,and our eternal destiny in Heaven.

[@michealknight19]

Why get mad at jesus? If he was he real wouldn't matter because he's dead now. There's no reason for me to believe any of that.

[@vanmoody]

So at one time you used to believe that Jesus was real and something changed your mind? Were you a child when you first believed in him or were you older? I am very interested to see why people leave the Christian faith. Thx

[@michealknight19]

Van PastorMan I was saved at 15. was a Christian for about 10, 12 years. I started to see things differently. nothing bad happened to me. I even prayed to keep my faith. kept asking my god not to let me go. was asking other christians, pastors, deacons, whoever I could find to help me keep believing but I couldn't ignore reality. it took a couple years before I realized I didn't believe anymore. If god really knows me, he knows how my mind works. the bible wasn't enough. there are horrible things in life but also wonderful things. so to believe that god loves us and ignore the horrible things just don't add up. I'm not mad at god. I don't believe one exist. if one does its indifferent to life. it doesn't favor either side.

[@vanmoody]

Thanks for taking the time to answer. I appreciate it.

[@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.'

[@jasminewillis7668]

Jars of Clay saved my life so many times growing up. This song was always on repeat when I was going thru my battles with depression and suicide. I love these guys. I keep coming back to these songs every time I need them. ❤

This song should have been written for 2019

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.

[@Janet-v5z1c]

I grew up listening to them,and saw them twice! When I was little, theywere at Agape Christian bookstore (which I dont think we have that store anymore,) and they signed my poster, and when I when i got older, i saw them again!
