“Snapping of the Twigs”

mystery, something new is approaching, open to love, unsure, change is in the air, be aware

When I received the lyrics titled “Snapping of the Twigs”, penned by the brilliant and ‘Edward Scissorhands’ level of creative (more on that in a moment) David M. Murray, I needed to wrap my head around what he was feeling when he wrote this… so I could hopefully radiate that energy to you through music and images - I love making music videos!

This is what I came up with; “mystery, something new is approaching, open to love, unsure, change is in the air, be aware”. See if you agree. Here’s his lyric:

4/9/24 received:

Something’s moving deep inside
I don’t know what it is
I look all around at me
I hear the snapping of the twigs
Maybe there’s someone coming
I don’t really know
But I see the writing on the wall
From a long, long time ago

Chorus:
Staring into the clouds above
Swiftly whisking by
I hear the snapping of the twigs
I wonder if it’s hello or goodbye

I’m too lazy to be crazy
All my dreams begin with daffodils
Don’t drink no more alcohol
Nor even take a sleeping pill
So what is it that’s moving
Way down deep inside
Causing me the jitters
And feeling like I died

[Repeat Chorus]

I think my heart just skipped a beat
There it goes again
I hear the snapping of the twigs
And messages from within
Got to read the writing 
Way high up on the wall
Written with a red crayon
The words are really small

[Repeat Chorus]

Bridge:
But that message is now clear to me
In the sunlight from above
Keep your heart open
And always, always welcome love

[Repeat Chorus]
