1995. its been 15 years since this album came out. i was 14. their song flood was on the radio, i remember being in the weight room for football practice, flood came on the radio and i looked around at my teammates singing along, laughing to myself...
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...
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 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...
