"They didn't name her for a saint, they named her for a storm / So how's she supposed to think about how it's gonna feel in the morning?"
The new Hold Steady album Heaven is Whenever comes out May 1st in Ireland on Rough Trade. That's a month and a half away, but you can have a listen to the lead single 'Hurricane J' now...

Much poppier than I expected. So much for no fist pump anthems...
It's really catchy, I like it. Not as good as past lead singles, but still pretty decent.
Here's the full lyrics btw:
I see the crowd you're hangin with
and those kids don't see positive
Don't all those cigs make you tired?
You know I never ask you to change, I only ask you to try
I know you're gonna do what I know you're gonna do
but 22 and bangin' around in restaurants isn't that much prettier
than bangin' around in bars
and why do you keep going to his car?
I don't want this to stop
I want you to know
I don't want you to settle
I want you to grow
Forget all the boys that you met at the harbor
You're too hard already, you'll only get harder
Jessie, let's go for a ride
I know a place that we could stop
I know a place that we could drink and and kiss for a while
I know a place that always makes you smile
I know you're gonna say what I know you're gonna say
I know you'll look at the ground, I know you'll probably cry
You're a beautiful girl and you're a pretty good waitress
but Jessie, I don't think I'm the guy
I don't want this to stop
I want you to know
I don't want you to settle
I want you to grow
Forget everything that I showed you this summer
You're too hard already, you'll only get harder
but they didn't name her for a saint
they named her for a storm
so how's she supposed to think about
how it's gonna move in the morning
she said if heaven's hypothetical
and if the cigs keep you warm
then how's she supposed to think about
how it's gonna move in the morning
'bout how it's gonna move in the morning
Hurricane Jess, she's gonna crash into the harbor this summer
She don't wanna wait till she gets older
Hurricane Jess, she's gonna crash into the harbor this summer
She don't wanna wait, she said it only gets harder
