The Favors have struck again. Their latest single, ‘Times Square Jesus,’ is the most devastatingly beautiful song we’ve ever heard. It has to be one of our favorite releases of the year, and our favorite release from FINNEAS and Ashe’s new band thus far.
We have a feeling The Dream (dropping September 26) is going to be a contender for both the best album of the year and the album that gives us the most emotional whiplash.
‘Times Square Jesus’
With a song title like that, it’s impossible not to hit play on The Favors’ new song. Upon our first listen, we had no idea what to expect. FINNEAS and Ashe have delivered catchy tunes and stunning lyrical moments on ‘The Little Mess You Made’ and ‘The Hudson,’ so we were expecting more of the same greatness.
“In Times Square and Hollywood, you have Jesus, the Naked Cowboy, Elmo, or whoever else you walk by and pay your respects to. Even if you don’t live a religious life, you’re still confronted by religion. When you are, you can’t help but think about your own life, regrets, desires, or baggage. If the ‘Times Square Jesus’ told you to confess, you might think of the person you’re secretly in love with.”
FINNEAS stated in a press release
‘Times Square Jesus’ crushed our souls in the most beautiful way possible.
“Everybody knows that you’re my weakness
You’re an open secret, I’m afraid
Every time I walk by Times Square Jesus
He tells me to confess before my grave
But I don’t wanna be saved”
