Clearly "Different Strings" is a graceful song about the gift of music. Many people attribute it to a physical, personal relationship, but the true meaning behind the words of this beautiful melody expresses the wonderful spiritual gift of music that only a handful of people experience. "Peel away the mystery, here's a clue to some real motivation..." "What happened to our innocence, did it go out of style. Along with our naivete, no longer a a child..." That says it all in my perspective.
