One of my favorite bands of all time, Jars of Clay always seem to hit me hard. Lyrics like those found in this song explain perfectly how I've lived much of my life - seeking fulfillment in temporal, fleeting pleasures, rather than striving toward lasting joy; wandering astray time and again, distracted by the same useless frivolities, rather than staying true to goals worth pursuing. This song serves as a reminder that I have more to live for than these things.
"Jealous Kind" ~ Jars of Clay
"Tryin’ to jump away from rock that keeps on spreading
for solace in the shift of the sinking sand;
I’d rather feel the pain all too familiar
than be broken by a lover I don’t understand..."
