Well, you know he talks about brothers and sisters, dead and gone, and then the children flying down Juniper. I didn't know what Juniper was, but it didn't sound like that happy a place to me. But I admit to being warped. I am an
X-Files fan and it kind of reminded me of the
Closure episode of the show, where Mulder finally learns what happened to his sister (whom he thought had been abducted by aliens). She disappeared into a place where all abused children go. He went there and saw her and there were all of these "happy," missing dead children playing and I don't know . . .
Yes, when I learned that Juniper's a street in his neighborhood, I imagine bike-riding too, just like my brother and I used to ride around the block. But when I
first heard the song, I didn't know what Juniper was. I thought it was a fairry land for kids who aren't with us anymore and it just didn't sound that good.
But even if it is a song about happy, nostalgia and unburdened youth, I don't like it that way either. It is too sweet and sugary for me.
