From the guitar-backed opening bars of “Over My Head” (about the Eucharist) to the final drumbeats of “Spread the Word” (about evangelization), Crossed Hearts combine the best of pop music with solid spiritual teaching. Topics like the Blessed Sacrament (“I Know Where You Are”), the saints (“Friends in High Places”), reconciliation (Music to My Ears), and the sacraments (“River of Grace”) flow through the album on a stream of tightly crafted lyrics and toe tapping, feel-good melodies that make the listener want to get up and move.
