Frail - Jars of Clay

[The33134helena]

Love it!

[LordTepes81]

as an atheist i have to say that i love this band...not for the obvious christian lyrics but for the fact that they have such excellent music in general. i've always loved this band since i was in junior high...i'm now 29 years old and i still listen to their first 2 albums all the time. thanks for the post.

[TheWolfsabre]

@LordTepes81 Yeah, same here. I don't believe in God or anything, but this music is just so...peaceful and relaxing. I love it.

[4wirldpeas]

Please do more........wonderful work of art.......

[rexieltabornal]

love this song so much. everytime i listen to it, i feel invincible..as if i'm in the clouds,,true art!the man behind this song is infact genius!

[Endymos]

this song is so beautiful

[scotthughesphotog]

that is art

[ambygirl1008]

Beauty and savagery, achievement and horror, blessings and bloodshed. The marvel at how both reside within the human heart. I hope we may we resist our capacity to be the destroyer of worlds.

[44kaymdub]

Thank you for this beautiful and powerful song! Its depth is so intriguing! Its touched my heart in every area of my life and is such a great reminder of how fragile each moment we have is, and how that moment can never be relived. This song will be played at my wedding. God is awesome and I can see He had the biggest part in the making of this song and  this video!

[ValiantATHLETE]

Umm i think romans 7 and the part in corinthians where paul talks about the thorn in the flesh sums is the very experience this song talks about...

[JCRomans1411]

Beautiful.

[cassiano10ful]

muuuuiiiiiiito booooooooooooommmmmmmmm

[licilovely]

A rose could never lie, about the love it brings. And I could never promise, to be any of those things <3

[paulypoo66]

WOW!

[hstg98]

Great video!!!

[F35B2009]

I used to wonder, "How does *not* being weak, *not* being cold and *not* being scared make you frail?"

Then one day the true meaning of this song finally hit me. Being weak, cold and scared is what causes us to turn to God for strength. If we never had any reason to turn to God, we would never receive His strength. And without strength from God, we truly would be frail.

[planes3333]

@F35B2009

nice

[F35B2009]

I love this song. I was first drawn to it for its beautiful, almost haunting instrumental parts more than I was for the lyrics. But over the years I've also come to appreciate the beauty of its lyrics as well.

this is a long comment so there is 2 parts : )

[awesomeKNOWSnoBOUNDS]

Okay guys, here's what an atheist who loves this song (that's me) has to say about it's meaning:

He's talking about his fears and weakness and how, no matter how hard he tries, he struggles be a perfect christian. Why? Because then he'd have to give up his defenses and become "frail". Vulnerable.

He makes the point that god is stronger and safer than his own self, yet explains that it's so hard to completely let god take control, because then he becomes unable to fend for himself.

[planes3333]

@awesomeKNOWSnoBOUNDS \

hey thanks for writing to us man it means a lot!

[priakemi2008]

I really love this song; it means a lot to me. By the way, the video is also excellent. God bless you.

[jimmmmie]

My all-time favorite song to chill out to!

[martyTOMPT]

@ taxmino don't be so judgemental. jars of clay have so many uplifting songs that so many christians love because of the powerful, personal lyrics. they are gifted musicians by God and music is a part of their ministry. don't judge anyone because you taxmino...are guilty of the same thing you accuse jars of clay of doing. maybe YOU should read YOUR bible and get your head and your heart right.

[taxmino]

Warning ....Jars of clay are after personal recognition and rather side with public opinion over biblical truth...warning !!!!! " these are terrible ideas" their opinion to Pat Robertson comments on the haiti earthquake.....

Just like i thought all these so called gospel christian actors are not after GODS Glory but themselves.

[afeeya00]

@taxmino

wait....are you telling me you're perfect and have never sinned? you may not have sinned in terms of wanting God's glory for yourself but you've certainly sinned in another way - and guess what...God sees all sin the same. So, instead of speaking against them...how about praying for them? Better still, maybe someone should post on here some of your sins and see how that is. Self righteous people sadden me.

[francissea]

Wow, taxmino! That's pretty impressive. I always thought man looked on the outward appearance and God looked on the heart. But apparently, you are also able to look inside these guys' hearts. Amazing! How do you do it? My hat is off to you!

[taxmino]

@francissea you like that hu?..if you want test men use the word of God..its easy...all you have to do is this thing called READ the word of GOD.

You and millions of church goers should do some time.....then you may stumble on

John:

Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

[maggiejoyce1980]

I looked in John like you suggested and found this... John 13:35 This is how all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another." The thing with the bible, is that it seems open to interpretation, the problem with a living word combined with free will I guess. I do firmly believe though that a Love Letter only has meaning when you know the Lover who wrote it....John 10 stood out to me too... "My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me."v27. (Matt 7:5)

[taxmino]

i dont understand what you are trying to say...so please be a little more clear...but the truth stands

jars of leven are not representing Biblical truths..

I wish they would put a "about us" link on their website so we can see where they stand on biblical principals..

[sensational226]

This band is really amazing, absolutely love this song

[alienn4hire]

Wow. I'm a bit of a student of history, and I love Jars of Clay...i was looking up this song and came across this video. Really well done, it really highlights how humanity's technology has both moved our society along and brought us back to the brink of destruction

[doveforever]

Your dirt removes my blindness

Your pain becomes my peace

...frail

[dudelikefarout]

Thanks for the vid, this song has got me through a lot of tough times

[pinkbutterflies2012]

Love this!!!!!

[rhiannon808]

deep calls to deep......Song of songs

[EmperorofMu]

cool waters run deep

[hippyhamster1]

"Your pain becomes my peace" beautiful song.

[thomasjamesreid]

vid is cool, forgot how awesome that first album was.

[sirebire9]

5:31 a doll flew across the wall O.O

[lucaciagli]

Hi !

Is that ok if I use your video to translate this song into Portuguese? I think it's wonderful. Good job!!! (:

[geektoro]

tage., i realize as you stated ''the music fit'', but it also fit's the soul. peace

[geektoro]

i luv your vid editing on this christian song. christian music needs more medatative music , most of it in my opinion stinks and i hope you'll edit more vids. p.s. ''' J's.o.C.''' , {rocks}

[MapHendren]

You know, my grandmother was born in 1903 and died in 05. It was really overwhelming for her to see all the changes.

[lonelovers]

I had forgotten about this song and how deep and beautiful the lyrics are.. And it also brought tears to my eyes. How we could all be frail..

[constantinescule]

what about the Holocaust? Why the bombs made it, who ended the war and the Holocaust but the 6 million Jews are not "mentioned"?

[iH8MMS]

lol what was with the wii laptop scene?

[augyjda]

Just Imagine if we Didnt drop those bombs how frail or German would probably be.

[lurch321]

Great job, Tage..............Dan and the gang would be proud!

[jimmmmie]

This is my all-time favorite song to lie down on the sofa in the dark & mellow out to.

Cool vid, too.

[shelflady]

absolutely yes...i have listened at least 8 times in a row...this song is so moving and touching to something deep down in my soul....

[WRETCHEDxSINNER]

i love this song, thank you friend.

[GreenleafStudios]

Wow. That was a really great vid. Thanks for sharing those visual reminders about who we are as people, who we should't continue to be, and, maybe, that there's hope for the future. Well done.

[pristontale999]

Very very beautiful song ! Jars of Clay are great ! If you like this song, you should listen World Apart :)

Nice vid by the way...

[funknando007]

Great job on the video!

[Leopardvixen369]

not into religious music but....this is my favorite song ever

[crazyjoe320]

a lot of so called "christian" or "religious" music is actually very good. Switchfoot and Jars of Clay primarily produce some of the best music PERIOD, not just in the Christian music industry.

[sweetiestacy]

Jesus is the answer and the way..I'm speaking as a past self proclaimed athesist at one time, Jesus showed me the way. You're missing out.. Kisses hugs :) have a great day

[funknando007]

ya i know me too!

[bhbar2003]

My wish was to show my respect for your taste and talent. I was moved to the point of using word befiting royalty.

By Grace alone,

Brian

[bhbar2003]

Your excellency,

You are an artist of the highest rank.

Please continue your passionate work.

Your humble fan and servant,

Brian

[TageKaliandrino]

Wow, not really sure what to say. Thank you for your kind comments, but I consider that I am the servant and happy to be one and I am glad that you enjoy the work that I do in here.

[planes3333]

@TageKaliandrino

We are all servants and doing so in the cause of the greatest servent ever.....

[planes3333]

@TageKaliandrin

I watched this vid just after I relapsed and it had pretty deep impact on me! I think in my raw state I was sensative and the evolution of man in the images (the war stuff) really hit me hard. Keep making the vids man you did well.

[hippyhamster1]

As Dan from jars of clay said in another video this song its about our inability to be weak.

The video supports this idea very well that mankind is infact frail. I'm in awe of the great fotage and as we all know the song is wonderful.

Thanks for posting something great on youtube!

[TageKaliandrino]

Thank you, Hippyhamster...I love your YouTube name, its cool!!!!!

[TheDragonL0D1]

Or rather the ABILITY to be weak..

I know what you mean about humans being weak and frail. I am a dragonkin (This means I have a spirit of a dragon and used to be one in my last life) and I can honestly say that I really think the human race isn't really as strong as all the weapons and stuff say for us.

Thanks for posting! 10/10

[die8quadratmeter]

how do you know that dude (you were a dragon?!)?

the song is about human inability to confess to be weak. we, as humans, can't really do that, we always claim that we're perfect and we can achieve things like immortality and stuff... listen to scientists, they desire knowledge that is given (?) only to God. our spiecies has a desire to be even to God... this is in my opinion our inability to be weak...

[RubberTurkey]

Eh, Wot? Dragonkin? That's crazzzeh man! Lol, anyway. I love this song. It's an incredible song with an even better meaning.

[hippyhamster1]

Yes well summed up die8quadratmeter.

I think we do have a desire to be even with God which is very sad. We need to fear him.

[wookieedroid]

Great video. This has always been one of my absolute favorite songs, and this video paired with it is fascinating. I'm interested, what kind of song did you ultimately want? Because this seems so perfect.

[TageKaliandrino]

Hi Wookie, I was always going to use this song in the way that I did. The images in this vid are always what sprung to my mind when I listened to it. I just wish that some of the video had been able to be a little more clear. But it has a haunting yet timelessness about it that makes the imperfections seem okay.

[Freezeskier20]

Wow, Im really awed and being a history fanatic this is really something something that reminds us how perishable the human race is. sir thank you for this, I hope you can spread some sort of word by this video.

[iluvwhutto]

MAN what a beautiful beautiful song. This song touched me liked NO other song I have EVER heard. I feel like someone looked into my soul and wrote about what they saw. I am SO weak, SO cold, and SCARED of being broken. I cried for 10 minutes after I heard it. Thanks Ryan (my son) for sending it to me.

[Machizmo81]

I know you posted this comment a long time ago, but it caught my attention. Hope you don't mind me asking, but, are you a Christian?

[shelflady]

i tried to see your page....it says your account is closed....I would like to talk to the soul who was moved by this song....for it too has moved me...i listened at least 12 times and it keeps touching me.....i have been broken throughout this life many times and by many things....i want to know those who can stand in their brokenness and have grown through it and who understand that brokenness is a strength inside out....your tears have touched me....

[TageKaliandrino]

My account is well and truly open, so do please try again as I would love to communicate with you.

peace

[shelflady]

peace 2u2......what inspired you to this song with this video? what does your user name mean?

[chimandolinka]

this is awesome!

[infinityonward]

I really like this. The footage (beautifully rendered) rises and falls perfectly with the music, and the contrasts of achievement and frailty, fear and discovery are perfect. This is indeed the story of our species.

[TageKaliandrino]

Thank you, Infinityonward.

[PinkPolKaDots91]

i love the titanic shots!

[TageKaliandrino]

Thanks, PinkPolkaDots.

[skeetzo]

i disagree. i think the music fits perfectly.

people are always running away from the state of "frailness". i totally agree with the point u made with the video. good job man.

[TageKaliandrino]

Hi Skeetzo, for your positive comments and thanks for watching the vid. I do like the music in this and the more I watch it the more I am inclined to agree with you.

[TageKaliandrino]

I am ever fascinated by the things that befall us as humans in our quest to advance. It also never fails to sadden me the atrocities that one group will perpetrate upon another if they fear they are advancing faster than they would like them to. Music in this wasn't what I wanted, but the only music that would work.
