An Analysis of “Belly of the Deepest Love” by Tow’rs

Every once in a while you come across a song that is so fantastic and beautifully written it requires a full-blown, in-depth analysis due to how well the lyrics are composed. It’s that song that when you hear it and you understand the lyrics for the first time, you are pulled to listening to it over and over again – trying to hear the intricate melodies and harmonies, working to understand the subtle nuances in the words chosen. That song for me is “Belly of the Deepest Love” by Tow’rs.

Graven Hands

His graven hands go offering life from Death

who thought Christ took more than He could bear.

Death rejoiced at the sound of the hammer’s clang

of the nail into the wood as the Son of God sang,

“Eloi! Eloi!” and it leaves us wond’ring to where

You have a nice bottom, too.
