I listened to All Together Now this morning and noticed some things, but I'll have to go and verify that I haven't already noticed and written about them. For now, here's a post about "Closer to Heaven," which is included as a bonus track and which I haven't written about before.
About halfway through the song, there are the lines "We come here with nothing, Lord / That's the way we go." Like some lines in other songs by Russ Ballard, these seem Biblically informed. Specially, they resemble part of Job 1:21: "Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked shall I return." Although the specific images are different, the idea and structure are the same.
