LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

Craig Finn, frontman of The Hold Steady, has a new solo album called Clear Heart Full Eyes. While I’m basically on board with anything containing a Friday Night Lights shoutout, the album is also beautiful in its own right. My current favorite track is “New Friend Jesus,” which contains the standout lyrics “It’s hard to suck with Jesus in your band” and “People say we suck at sports/but they don’t understand/it’s hard to catch with holes right through your hands.”

You can check out the full album on NPR.
