I'm liking "Closer"! This totally sounds different than anything you guys have done before, but it's a really lovely song and I cannot wait for the new EP to arrive. The cover art looks awesome. (And being a really bad pianist, I just gotta say - Charlie, you're great!)

Keep up the good fight guys, and follow those sounds wherever they go!

My thoughts

Hey Jars.
I like the new closer song, especially the randomly creative lyrics! You guys should post the lyrics of your songs on your site - then I wouldn't have to search online!
I missed you guys at Lifest this year. I went last year and enjoyed the open discussion thing - you had forgotten about it, so you just talked about random stuff. I liked that because it wasn't so formal, it was more of like a conversation with friends. You guys should come to Lifest again. I know they didn't have you as a headliner last time, but so what!

Hi Eric,

I looked up the lyrics online, but i'm not sure if they're entirely correct.

This is the website i got them from:

http://www.sing365.com/music/lyric.nsf/Closer-lyrics-Jars-Of-Clay/57AA9F...

There's one part in the lyrics though that says "I want your kite strings tangled in my dreams all wrapped up" and to me, in the song it sounds like " I want your kite stings tangled in my trees all wrapped up".. Do you perhaps know what the correct one is?

Love the new songs, keep em coming!

CLOSER look at CLOSER EP

Love the new song... CLOSER... Thanks for giving us a look at the ep cover. Jar fans any ideas on the new cover art? There's gotta be a little depth to that cover art and which of the five songs does it pertain too?

Awesome early release!!!

Hey Jars all the way from Aus

I just downloaded the EP now and am about to listen to the songs; its the 29th of July here (so its a week early)!

Very happy; Big pat on the back to your new indie label. It took ages for essential to add your old albums onto the Aussie iTunes. These distributors are even releasing it a week early (and in Australia)

Keep up all the good work for Jesus!!

And keep on making music

EDIT**

Finished listening, love the new sound you guys have produced. It's funny cause right now I can't explain the feeling it gives. I think to me the music great sound, it just works so well with your voices and harmonies - really enjoying 'safe to land'

I also like the way you have used the new sound for Jars' old favourites Flood and Love Song for a Saviour. Great EP great value on iTunes. Can't wait for the full album.
