In this video, Sindy explains the creative process behind The Murmur in the Mural and the unique Pig Latin style used in the song. Rather than translating every word, the lyrics were shaped around rhythm, syllables, and melody to create a hypnotic, story-driven sound. Sindy breaks down how Pig Latin can be used as atmosphere instead of novelty, and how musical flow guided every lyrical decision.

SCRIPT:

Hey… so I’ve had a lot of people reach out to me about The Murmur in the Mural, and honestly, that surprised me—in a really good way. A lot of you said you loved the Pig Latin, but not just that it was Pig Latin… more how it felt.

And that’s kind of the key.

When I started writing that song, I didn’t want to just take English lyrics and flip every word into Pig Latin. That usually sounds clunky, and it totally kills the rhythm. So instead, I treated Pig Latin like a musical texture, not a rulebook.

Some words needed to change to create that unfamiliar, murmuring sound. Some words needed to stay in English so the story didn’t disappear. And sometimes I’d bend the Pig Latin rules a little—just enough—to keep the syllables landing where the melody needed them.

I was thinking a lot about flow. How it would sound when sung out loud. Where the vowels landed. Where the consonants hit.

The story came first—the image of a mural that feels alive, like it’s whispering back at you—and the Pig Latin had to serve that mood, not distract from it.

So the process was really about listening. Writing a line… singing it… changing it… breaking it… fixing it again. Over and over until it felt natural, almost hypnotic.

I think that’s why it works the way it does. It’s not Pig Latin for novelty—it’s Pig Latin as atmosphere.

Anyway… I just wanted to share that, because I love that people actually noticed. And yeah—there will definitely be more experiments like that coming.

Thanks for listening… and for listening closely.
