Leaf Has Veins Lyrics
Da, da, da
Don't talk, just look
It's much better like this for
Ellen, bruce, sandy and chris
It's much better like this for
Ellen bruce, sandy and chris
A good excuse to write some music
This song is a prayer to life and creation.
So few words---So much meaning!
The central image of veins in a leaf signifies the link between living things and suggests we are all connected at a very basic level.
The walk "that has no destination" is like our existence in this world, where we cannot truly perceive what ultimately lies beyond life, making our "destination" seem undetermined.
The writing of music is a human act of creation. Creation is something done by ALL living things. It is the function of life to create, on some level (nests, habitat, offspring, art). There is little or no reason needed for creation ("a bunch of words," whatever)-----It is how we are designed, like having veins.
A very spiritual song, actually, without being at all wordy or preachy.
And don't forget the advice at the start---"Don't talk, just look"---The best kind of prayer there is.
