Jars of Clay Giving Away Song to Help the Philippines
Jars of Clay is giving away the song, "Fall Asleep," from its album, Inland, through a special NoiseTrade offering to raise money for relief efforts in the Philippines. All of the proceeds from the single will be used to support The Red Cross in the aftermath of Typhoon Haiyan, claimed to be the strongest tropical cyclone to make landfall in recorded history.
The official music video for "Fall Asleep," which premiered on USAToday.com and is now being promoted in various video channels, was created in Manila and stars Filipino supermodel/actress, Rhian Ramos.
"The video was done for us entirely for free, as a gift," says Jars of Clay lead vocalist, Dan Haseltine. "We are so grateful for the gift of such a stunningly beautiful music video. By using the video and the song as a means to raise funds to help in the clean up and restoration efforts currently taking place in the Philippines, we felt it would be a wonderful way to respond in kind."
People are encouraged to watch the video and download "Fall Asleep," leaving a tip for the relief efforts.
"I incorporated the sun and stars from the Filipino flag, as well as the skyline of Manila," says Haseltine of the artwork created for the single. "We are hoping to raise $50,000 to help serve the amazing people of the Philippines and will be working with The Red Cross to insure the funds are used properly and efficiently."

Jars of Clay Reunites With Essential
In 2007 Jars of Clay broke ties with longtime label Essential Records to form its own Gray Matters imprint. But the modern rockers just announced a renewal of their relationship with Essential for their new release The Long Fall Back to Earth.
The new CD appears to be a stylistic continuation of 2006's Good Monsters, which found the band using heavier guitars.
