To me this is a tribute to the songs that brought people together, from all different "slices" of the population...maybe back before genres had so divided what people were listening to. The bridge seems to me like it could be making specific references...Band on the Run, Moondance, and Summer Breeze are what I thought of immediately, although I didn't recognize what "top-down lovers" would refer to. And of course American Pie is the main one. But this song, which mentions blogs and online-only friendships, seems very relevant in the age when everyone has their own iPod they're listening to. Maybe he's just wishing people would share music more directly.

@dougdgmn2 the instrumental element also gives me a Bruce Springsteen vibe too.
