Jars of Clay

Jars of Clay is probably my favorite band … ever. The vocals are just perfect, and so real. Too many bands these days suck live because they synthesize every part of their “sound” … Jars of Clay, on the other hand, sounds just about the same live as they do on their CD

Two of my favorite (or currently favorite) songs would probably be Sunny Days and Lonely People. The lyrics are just as nice as the vocals … so read and figure it out

Sunny Days:
Sunny days keepin’ the clouds away
I think we’re coming to a clearing and a brighter day

So far away. Still I think they say
The wait will make the heart grow stronger or fonder
I can’t quite remember anyway

So if you’re waitin’ for love
Well it’s a promise I’ll keep
If you don’t mind believing that it changes everything
Then time will never matter

Winter, Spring… is what love can truly bring
Ice turns to water, water flows to everything
You can lose your mind, maybe then your heart you’ll find
I hope you won’t give up what’s moving you inside

If the car won’t start, when you turn the key
When the music comes on, all your cold, cold heart can do is skip a beat

It’s a promise I’ll keep
When you’re waitin’ for love
If you don’t mind believing that it changes everything
Then time will never matter

Lonely People:
This is for all the lonely people
Thinkin’ that life has passed them by
Don’t give up until you drink from the silver cup
Ride that highway in the sky

This is for all the single people
Thinkin’ life has left them dry
Don’t give up until you drink from the silver cup
You’ll never know until you try

‘Cause, I’m on my way, yes, I’m on my way
Yeah, I’m on my way back home

This is for all the lonely people
Thinkin’ that life has passed them by
Don’t give up until you drink from the silver cup
She’ll never take you down or give you up
You’ll never know until you try

Ah and I found this goofy little picture while stumbling around crap today … got me to laugh so I had to share
