We know that Bruce has employed biblical imagery in his songs pretty much since he started writing them, but am I the only one who thinks it’s odd that Bruce released songs about Jonah and the whale on two albums in a row?<\/p>\n
Okay, maybe “Swallowed Up (In the Belly of the Whale)<\/a>” isn’t really<\/em> about Jonah, but that\u00a0Wrecking Ball\u00a0<\/em><\/a>bonus track certainly uses the myth as metaphor.<\/p>\n But it’s still made me wonder when I first listened to “Heaven’s Wall” on Bruce’s follow-up\u00a0High Hopes<\/em> album: Bruce sure seemed to have repentance on his mind for a while.<\/p>\n We’ll discuss the lyrics in a bit, but let’s take a few minutes to listen to the track. In fact, maybe listen twice, because there’s a\u00a0lot<\/em> going on in “Heaven’s Wall.”<\/p>\n
