Many a saint,
by prayer,
hath sucked the breast of a promise,
and then fell asleep by Divine contentment
in the bosom of God.

Frank Turner's new album, England Keep My Bones, is getting a lot of play on my iPod. I posted his atheist hymn of sorts, "Glory Hallelujah," last week. Here's the video for "I Still Believe." Frank writes some interesting songs worth hearing. Plus, it's just great music. Check out a few snips of lyrics...
Now who'da thought / that after all / something as simple as rock'n'roll would save us all
And I still believe / in the need / for guitars and drums and desperate poetry
And I still believe / that everyone / can find a song for every time they've lost and every time they've won / So just remember folks we're not just saving lives, we're saving souls, and we're having fun
