| Jars of Clay – Sing Lyrics | 21 years ago |

I love these songs for their simplicity, and as such, their inherant power... This one line says so much about so many people's walk with God: "Bury my head for the shame, you pick me up, you say I look like you..." |

Personally, I would've sequenced the album so that this was the closing song, as it would leave me with the same emotions after the CD has stopped that "My Sundown" did... I absolutely love the beautiful sonic touches on the chorus: "Kiss me with your cherry lipstick Never wash you off my face Hit me, I can take your cheap shots Leave you with a lovely name" It makes the hairs on my neck stand up! :-) |

These lyrics are so powerful! The following couplet sums up my understanding of how drug addiction can affect your life: "If only you could see The stranger next to me..." |

I love this song too, but can I suggest a correction to the lyrics posted above. To me, it sounds like: "It's a lie, A kiss with opened eyes And she's not breathing back Anything but bother me (It takes my pain away) Nevermind, these are horrid times Oh, oh, oh I can't let it bother me" should read: "...Nevermind, these are hurried times Oh, oh, oh I can't let it bother me" It's like the speed, busyness and complexity of the narrator's life are being used as an excuse, and they are temporarily dismissing their fears... Not letting it bother them. I'd welcome anyone else's thoughts? |

It seems to me that a lot of the songs on the new album are related to addiction of some kind, probably to drugs. There always seems to be a positive spin though... A hope that things can change, and without that crutch, like here: "it doesnt seem theres hope for me i let you down but i wont give in now not for a million nows" I love what I've heard from the new album, "Futures", and it's good to see that JEW haven't slipped at all. Far from it, in fact! |
