But the song is still hopeful: now he\u2019s got a little spring in his step. He\u2019s talking to this woman, making promises. He\u2019s finally got something to sell. \u201c<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/watch-craig-finn-hold-steady-perform-anthemic-new-something-to-hope-for-on-late-night-with-seth-meyers-829072\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Rolling Stone<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Craig Finn delivered a rousing performance of his new single \u201cSomething to Hope For\u201d on Late Night With Seth Meyers.
