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..
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.
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.
@@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.
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 ^^'
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.
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
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.
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
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
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
My guys since the 90's... "It seems, it's always the crazy times, you'll find, you wake up and realize, IT says, more than your saline eyes, to make things right..."
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.
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.'
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!
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. ❤
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.
Almost every weekend this comes up. I'm blown away it doesn't have more views, I've seen them live countless times . They are simply amazing and I'm not even Christian. Hope they get everything they deserve.
farout I give em a go yea aye I used to go on to the shows with bands and things and anyone who goes into the Christian rock genre and keeps their eyes on Jesus thats a winner in my book mate no matter how ya slice it God honors faithfulness its good bub :))
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.
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
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.
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.
I always liked this song, but the video's got an even more appealing look to it. And it's a shame it takes the "crazy times" to make us wake up; we shouldn't need them, but we do.
We all have our opinions.... ;) I never found there was real depth (i.e. Love Song: I want to fall in love with you..... who?? Let's never be ashamed or afraid to mention Jesus Christ's name.
I must have... because I never heard of em Ill have ta look em up but my mum used to play dc talk and jars of clay I grew up on this stuff proud to say so bud 90s were a great time to be a kid :)) make it a good one
It's because they were kind of an underground they didn't sell out like a lot of the other bands did and their time I think it makes them so much more special but I tell you one thing they definitely reach me I was on my way to hell and bands like jars of Clay and mxpx bands like demon Hunter and stuff like that keep me rockin man and praising Jesus a men for bands like jars of Clay
I’m not a Christian, but I love Jars of Clay with all my heart.
I will always love this band.
aug 1 2024 and this still sounds good!
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!!!
I agree 100%
Yes absolut!!
Never read something so true

I found God again and this band came back along with. God speed! :)
LOL same thing happened to me this year , then their song Flood ended up in my recommended.
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.
I am not religious at all but I’ve always dug jars of clay
I could be wrong but I feel like God draws us closer to him through lots of different things you know.

Check out the song Flood by Jars of Clay it's amazing
this band introduced me to Christian music and now im forever hooked and loving it
Are you a Christian?
@@S_u_n_Flower_ hey, I know you!
Me too! Well I'd heard Christian music already, but not in English. This band introduced me specifically to American Christian rock/alternative music.
I'm a hindu and I like this song. 🙄
As a kid I grabbed my CD and asked the DJ at our block party to play this song! Everyone loved it!
First time I heard it , I like
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.

mrm64 -ZZZZZZ
I feel exactly the same!
The old times were better truly
exactly!
Don't forget about DC Talk!!
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.
I miss the 90s. This was a classic on many Christian radio stations
This song is hauntingly beautiful. It's an instant time machine to the time period when I first got saved.
Yeah it was nice music. Good luck with escaping your delusion.
These guys aren't really Christian and we shouldn't listen to them. They were advocating for LGBT! (Spit)
@MikeLOldham what do you mean?
@@MikeLOldham Jesus loves you.
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
Luv the song and lyric, thank you
@@donatogarcia3835 It's really good. Probs my favourite song from them so far. (I literally discovered this band like 10 mins ago)
We need more music like this on the radio..please God...
Who's listening in 2020 because duh?
Amazing band! never gets old! Love these guys
Ive been listening to these guys since I became a Christian 20 years ago...Still my favorite Christian artists...they cannot be beat!🤗
Lol
I've been listening to this band for over 25 years. The new generations must learn
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.
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
Seth is that you?
BRO IM DOING THAT RIGHT NOW
Can you get any more late 90s than that comment right there? 👍🙌🧘
A mixed tape with just Jars of Clay and Dc Talk = perfect
maybe a lil Sixpence None the Richer thrown in too
I always come back to the Much Afraid album. So many great songs. Including Crazy Times.
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
They wrote this song way ahead of 2020. The real crazy times were in now
Amen to that Brother, God help Us,Jesus is the Only Hope, Be Blessed!
We need these Jars Of Clay's videos in HD.
Hard to believe the Flood guys could follow up with this. What range.
HOW I MISS U 90S! GOD BLESS U JARS OF CLAY!
That guitar in the middle though. This song rocks.
This was from the year I graduated high school. What a flashback! Saw them in concert in 98. Good times.
An oldie but a goodie, brings back memories of when I was in the church youth group.
Why is this song more relevant now more than ever?
Such a 90s song!
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

I love Jars of Clay, they were one of the 1st Christian bands I listened to when I got saved...
This was my Jam!!!!!!!
I can remember this song from when I was a kid. What a great flashback. Praise be to God
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。
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.
Love this song. I was 7 when it came out
This album is the soundtrack of my early Christianity ❤
The REM of Christian music!!! And one of THE best.
Perfect description! Fan of both bands btw.
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).'

I am Pagan and I love this song!!!
Lucifer is my second cousin and I like this song.
Huge JOC fan! This song seems especially relevant today, in the midst of COVID craziness. Just posted it on my FB page.
Love this song, love Jars of Clay, have been a fan for a while, seems I may always be.
one of my Fave songs by +Jars of Clay .. this song gets played alot when i am going thru stuff
Such a Great Band!! Good Christian Music!!
This should still be played on the radio.uts so much better than the noise on the radio. America has lost their mind don't appreciate quality
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. ❤
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.
Since I was 15, Now 40 yrs old. God is Good No Matter the Times 🙏❤️🔥🙌👑💯💪 WWJD?
Awesome !!!!!
2024 ❤
I've always loved the bitterness of this song. Truth should always have an effect (affect?) On all of us.
Wow. I've liked this song since around 1999/2000, but never knew that they eventually had made a music video. Nostalgia kickin' in here too.
A favorite of mine and my theme as well. Blessed be to God & Jesus!!! And to jars of clay as well !!!
Crazy times.... Relevant to what's going on now.
Spent hours listening to this song and playing Amped on X-Box.
The snowboard game?
One of the Christian bands that kicks ass.
Such a good song
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.
Don't sell your soul for the world.
I’d add PFR. One of the best along with Jars of Clay.
Almost every weekend this comes up. I'm blown away it doesn't have more views, I've seen them live countless times . They are simply amazing and I'm not even Christian. Hope they get everything they deserve.
farout I give em a go
yea aye I used to go on to the shows with bands and things
and anyone who goes into the Christian rock genre and keeps their eyes on Jesus
thats a winner in my book mate
no matter how ya slice it God honors faithfulness
its good bub :))
Hey 😊 ! Jarros de Barro ! I love it 💓. Dios los bendiga !!! 😇🙏😍
Loved the first few notes of that solo as a kid
90s were so special. So much good music you can just randomly stumble accross a great track like this from a band toutally outside of my wheelhouse
This was one of my favorite songs in 7th grade!
One of my favorite Jars of Clay songs.
I love that song and y love jesus
Nostalgia . Saw them live at Mission Alive '05. Also won 1st place in Timbrels at that event ;)
Anyone else jamming this tonight?!?
I'm a former christian and jars of clay is still at the top of my pandora list.
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.
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.
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

wow this takes me back
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.
I hope all is well
💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
I LOVE THESE VESSELS AND ESPECIALLY THIS SONG AMONGST SO MANY!!!
Agreed they are one of the best bands!
they got really great music quality
Yah...these guyz are soooo amazing...they have helped me stay anchored to my faith in some crazy times. Love love love them!
Ahh youth group. Good times.
This is a beautiful song! I love, love, love it! Only Dan could sing it like this, just beautiful!
I heard this song in VH1 Channel in the year 2000. That was a long time ago.
I always liked this song, but the video's got an even more appealing look to it. And it's a shame it takes the "crazy times" to make us wake up; we shouldn't need them, but we do.
I love Jars of Clay,; sweet guitar solo.
This song was on repeat when I was a teen. One of my favorite songs from them and still is.
This song should have been written for 2019
I love the 90's music than today
***** no, 2002. still has that 90's vibe.
One of my favorite songs and one of the few solos I was able to play on guitar back in the day. Good times!
This is what you miss about 90's?
I love you! One of my all time favorite CD's
Thank you Lord for this song from Jars of Clay 3:00
Anybody listening to this in April 2020 during the quarantine?
ALWAYS!! JOC always!
one of the best songs that i've heard, i love this band, your spirit to sing and give a conection from God to the people.... that is worship!!!!
Jesus is king he knows.
THE BEST CHRISTIAN ROCK BAND EVER! ALL HONOR AND GLORY TO OUR GREAT GOD!
We all have our opinions.... ;) I never found there was real depth (i.e. Love Song: I want to fall in love with you..... who?? Let's never be ashamed or afraid to mention Jesus Christ's name.
Amazing song, amazing band
One of the few Christian songs I like.
what a time the 90s were
I must have...
because I never heard of em
Ill have ta look em up but my mum used to play dc talk and jars of clay
I grew up on this stuff proud to say so bud
90s were a great time to be a kid :)) make it a good one
It's because they were kind of an underground they didn't sell out like a lot of the other bands did and their time I think it makes them so much more special but I tell you one thing they definitely reach me I was on my way to hell and bands like jars of Clay and mxpx bands like demon Hunter and stuff like that keep me rockin man and praising Jesus a men for bands like jars of Clay
Como eu não conheci essa banda antes? Gloria a Deus
ooooooh man does this ever take me back.
A +!!!!!!!!!!!
😍🥰
