New Song!! "Closer"

Posted July 3rd, 2008 by Jars of Clay

Hey friends! Some exciting news.

We're into our second stretch of writing new material for our next record and we wanted to let you in on how it's going!

There will be a sneak peek, in the form of a new song! Look for the new song "Closer" on my birthday, July 8th, exclusively on iTunes! It's the only way to hear it early…

We worked on this song with the wonderful and talented Ron Aniello, who worked with us previously on Who We Are Instead and Good Monsters, too! This song will be included on an EP we'll have coming out soon. Along with some songs you've not heard yet will be two favorites of ours, "Flood" and "Lovesong For A Savior," that we've recorded again, and given a new sound to...

Lastly, we'll be selling that EP on the road in the late summer/early fall as we head out with 3rd Day, Switchfoot and Robert Randolph. We've gotten to know most of the folks that will be out with us, and we're looking forward to seeing how we all collaborate together. It's gonna be a great night on the "Music Builds Tour."

I hope you come out and see it!

Yes, its 7:15pm EST and there is still less than 5hrs left of July 8th, but I'm impatient. The jarks have yet to find Closer on iTunes. Anyone know what's happened and if or when we'll be able to download Closer?

Um... if you want to hear the song follow this link for a 30 sec sound bite:
http://www.facebook.com/jarsofclay
You'll find it on the left hand side of the screen under Music Player. It is right after the song "All My Tears". If you scroll all the way down the screen it gives you the opportunity to buy the song... Oops, I just tried it and it gives me page can not be displayed error. I don't have iTunes installed on this computer so maybe it is directing me to this application. If you already have iTunes try it out, maybe it will work for you. Hope it helps a bit for everyone.

Christmas Tour/CD

On August 1st, 2008 MusicNutt said:

Obviously I'm late getting here to make a comment but saw Jars/TD for the Christmas Tour and as my wife put it, "You guys were BORN to do Christmas music!" That's no small statement coming from her. Hoping and praying you might consider doing a 'sometimes' annual Christmas tour like MWS has done in the past. I've been a long time Jars fan (since Much Afraid, even have it on LP, remember those?) but Jars truly out did themselves with that CD and EVEN MORE SO with the live show. Totally blown away by them both. Its not often that a live show is even better than the studio version. We'd certainly make it a point to be at another Christmas show. Hoping you consider releasing another Christmas CD also. It was such a blessing to see Jars so much in the Christmas spirit of it all.

God's peace to you all,
