   Although personally being born in 92' this beautiful and interesting relic of the 1980's reminds me of my cousin jarred whose my best friend and all the hilarious yet amusing and fun things we have done together, all the jokes and phrases we have come up with over the years. He has moved away recently pretty far away but I know we will cross paths again when the time is right one day. Love you cuz:)
   
   Though it mostly seems to keep reminding me ultimately of a kind of ghostly, ephemeral beauty and freedom a lot of us may experience in life. Maybe the 80's was a period of especially unique inspiration being reflected through music like this. Inside we are as lost children with an elusive almost forgotten love struggling with the ambiguity in life, the paths of uncertainty. All the precious moments which we trusted to somehow lead us somewhere in life we most often overlook or take for granted. Perhaps we capture subconsciously a fragment of a memory connected to a specific moment in time, it echoes the forgotten feelings which for a while remained. Our priceless memories, insights, dreams, visions throughout our journey into time much often overshadow themselves in feathers morphing into radiant elusive birds which fly into the horizon escaping our minds into the sunrise at dawn. "Building bridges with bricks of trust and love", can pertain to the conviction held gently patiently, yet deeply within knowing the Divine has our best interest even if we have to shout aloud in frustration.

   My interpretation really has more to do with a memory than what the song means. Not really sure about it’s meaning but every time I hear this song it reminds me of a teen club I used to frequent back in my high school days. They would always play the song. You know the days where you could still ride your bike places and staying out til 1 with your friends wasn’t that big of a deal. Dancing in a smoke filled club making bets with your buddies on who was going to make out with a girl first. Goths, preps, jocks, geeks, it didn’t really matter who you were, music was the international language that brought everyone together. Whisper to a scream with it’s great drum beats and cool vocals certainly did that.
