Version 1

Directed by Liam Lynch. It shows the band performing the song against changing backgrounds, consisting mainly of brightly colored kaleidoscopic forms, giving the video a psychedelic, hopeful, joyful mood.

Version 2

Directed by Marc Klasfeld, it features the band performing the song below a bridge. Gradually, people show up at the bridge and start throwing inanimate objects like a Game Boy Advance, though the things never hit the band and it's not implied that the people want to. In the end, an entire house (only with walls and roof) is thrown onto the band, and it falls apart without anyone getting hurt. A continuity error occurs at the end: when the house falls apart, the roof is missing. Marc Klasfeld is an American music video director who has also written and directed films and documentaries. ... “GBA” redirects here. ...


Version 3

A music video was produced for the acoustic version. It consists solely of Dave Grohl performing the song in the studio. It was co-directed by Grohl and Bill Yukich.

A Visit With The Joneses: "In Times Like These" Written by Ruth Caye Jones (337 words)
The well-known and loved song, In Times Like These, was written by Ruth Caye Jones, better-known as “Mother Jones.” The inspiration came during the days of World War II, but its words are more true today than when they were composed.
When Mother Jones would watch as George Beverly Shea sang the song on a Billy Graham telecast, going around the world, tears would come to her eyes and she would say, “I can’t believe I had any part in writing this song.
The old family clock on the mantel (a wedding present) had been broken, and so it was 15 years after the song In Times Like These had been written, that the repaired clock began striking the Westminster chime.
