Jars of Clay Raising Money for Philippines Through Free Song Giveaway 'Fall Asleep' from their New Album 'Inland' (VIDEO)

Jars of Clay has announced that they are giving away their song, "Fall Asleep" on NoiseTrade for free in hopes of raising money for relief efforts in the Philippines. Noisetrade allows you to freely download songs from artists, but gives you the ability to give a donation (or tip) for downloading the song as well. 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.

Jars of Clay's official music video for "Fall Asleep," stars Filipino super-model/actress, Rhian Ramos, was created in Manila and directed by Luis Tabuena. You can watch the video below. 

"The video was done for us entirely for free, as a gift," says Jars of Clay singer, 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."

"I incorporated the sun and stars from the Filipino flag, as well as the skyline of Manila," says Haseltine speaking on 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 kicks off their 'Inland Christmas Tour 2013' in Waco, TX Dec. 4 with special guests John Mark McMillan and Lainey Wright.  The tour benefits Blood:Water Mission and promises to be a special night.  

"Our Christmas concerts tend to be the most creative events of the year for Jars of Clay," says Haseltine. "We incorporate toy pianos, concert bass drums, mini-bass, xylophones, strings and bells, along with all the usual instruments, lights and presentation to shine a warm light on a season of peace and joy."
