СТЕЛЛА -- Мост нашей встречи (Bridge of Our Meeting)

Russian rock group СТЕЛЛА created this intoxicating song which appeared on their album "Лихорадка" in 1989. This song should be played LOUDLY! Preferably with good headphones on. Notice the absolutely great bass line, and the guitar solo that makes you feel you are flying through the sky, in the second part.
Here is the song's story:

While snow is falling upon your shoulders softly as a bride's white veil , the bridges over the river become filled and engorged with glittering snow and begin to rise up as sparkling ,white swollen forms. Amongst those bridges there lies one special bridge. That is the precious bridge where we met and where we parted, the bridge of our sorrow and our pain.
Now the snow swirls about as it is midnight in the city, covering the homes , melting their stately shapes into the land and making the roads seem to vanish into the night. But on the bridge of our meeting, one overwhelming, mad desire was born, wild as a beast, impervious to the snow, stronger than the storm, squirming against nature.

How did it happen? The freezing blizzard and flurry of snow brought about our meeting on this bridge, over the freezing river below. How did it happen? A dream realised for a lovely moment, a lifetime of happiness lived in one vivid instant, dissapearing as suddenly as it came, now vanished without a trace!

Our stone bridge will remain forever, indestructible. Like the unconquerable storm, it cannot burn.
Your shadow that graced the pristine snow is disappearing, and the vast ,cold whiteness of crystalline snow now shrouds our happiness , and we've only the memory left.

How did it happen? The freezing blizzard and flurry of snow brought about our meeting on this bridge, over the freezing river below. How did it happen? A dream realised for a lovely moment, a lifetime of happiness lived in one vivid instant, dissapearing as suddenly as it came, now vanished without a trace!

The bridge of our meeting
The bridge of our love
