With "Wisteria" I get the same feeling as the writer with exception to the couple being in a relationship that is no longer growing. Personally, when I listen to the song I think of the home that I grew up in. Whenever I visit my hometown I try and drive by it. I look at it as a place of fond memories, but I know I can't go back to it. That's what I think the song is about. The places in our lives that are important to us, but we have moved on in our lives. Physically we can't go back, but we can "walk through those dreams again." > Date: Fri, 4 Oct 2002 07:16:03 -0700 (PDT) > From: adam plunkett > Subject: [RS] "Wisteria" and "Transit" > > On the message board of Ellis Paul(accessable via > his > website - www.ellispaul.com), there is a post that > mentions Richard Shindell: > > "Richard Shindell paints a picture of a house, once > deserted, filled with images of past loves and > sadness > in Wisteria.
