they don't even know this is a christian band...snicker snicker snicker...
its was one of the final songs on the album though that grabbed my gut and still hasn't let me go. i remember going to my first jars concert in college, a solid 8 years later and when they walked off the stage with out singing worlds apart, i about flipped! HOW DARE YOU?! then the whole fake encore thing happened, they came back out, with caedmons call and threw it down.
this song continues to wreck me, in so many ways. different verses at different times...this morning it was the very first...
I am the only one to blame for this Somehow it all ends up the same Soaring on the wings of selfish pride I flew too high and like Icarus I collide With a world I try so hard to leave behind To rid myself of all but love to give and die
oh the pride of Icarus, the belief that i can soar, that I can fly...and then the long fall back to earth, colliding with all those things i thought i had overcome
anyway, watch this video, enjoy the song, has been and continues to be one of, if not my favorite song ever...

I'm almost afraid to admit how much that album shaped and directed my theology. I came to this realization recently.
This album stirs my heart in such a lovely way. It was this album, among others, that revealed to me your heart of worship as we "jammed" and scrubbed dishes (and had a few bubble fights). I was just thinking this morning as you were scrubbing our dishes at 7 am that this is still one of the most wonderful things about you! Your connection to music and it's power to connect you in any moment to the Holy Spirit. Amazing to me. I love you!
ah the song that always reminds me of mucky muck. great stuff my friend.
