[@Valkerie27]

Knowing that it was written in the healing process of the loss of the lead singers mother, not only brings new meaning to the song for me but makes me love it that much more.

[@waydebrooks8056]

Pat is one of the most underrated singers of all time. I know how bad it hurts to lose a parent, Pat I feel your pain and thank you for all your amazing music.

[@alittlewheiser521]

I totally agree. He has the MOST amazing voice and nails everything he sings. He really is so underrated.

[@danis4027]

it's almost like his mom helped him get the hit 😊

[@TREVAN]

God I love this clip so much. I cannot express enough how grateful I am that you posted it and shared it! Thank you!

[@stephanielostthegame]

so inspiring. one of the most beautiful songs ever.

[@lostmarxbro]

I don’t buy it….. at all

[@johndickerson8612]

My mom passed in 2005 when I was 14 and this was her favorite song. I kind of feel like she was sending a message.

[@knowthyself9797]

'best thing we can do by loss of love is finding ourselves through it'. thank you Pat and Pat's mum 💜

[@camelliabrown9215]

This is a wonderful song still gives me goosebumps when I hear it❤

[@sandravelezmoro5902]

One of the most beautiful rock songs. The lyrics give me chills and yet feel so uplifting. The arrangements are a work of art.

[@thangams1833]

I lost my mother 6 months ago. I am a woman in my 40’s yet I still yearn, pine for my mother 💔. “I would also like to thank my mom.” I just can’t stop crying nor can I stop listening to this. Thank you Pat Monahan ❤

[@ellediane4972]

I'm also a woman in my 40s & just went through the 4th anniversary of my mom passing away. I miss my mom every single day, I'm not sure that yearning ever really goes away. I've been sitting here crying ever since finding this clip. By the comments section, it seems it's touched a lot of us for the same reason. ❤

[@kurtjmartin]

I have lost 2 mothers and this made me tear up. WOW.....now I know why I like this piece so well.

[@HighXRoller]

Without a doubt my favorite song of all time. I had my own meaning to this song which almost go with the real meaning, but it's nice to know the writers true meaning of that song. Hey soul Sister is getting just as big, which is currently my favorite song of the past couple years. Keep the hits coming. :)

[@kimberlygolden2194]

I had just lost my husband in a car accident when this song came out, and for some reason, the song resonated with me. Now, I know why.

[@JMRt28]

You could just hear that this song comes from real raw emotion--I love knowing the story behind it. Just saw them opening for John Mayer at Jones Beach Theater--they are super talented and when they ended with this song it just felt like one of those epic moments!!

[@jeremyanthony9300]

Now that she's staring in the atmosphere she can tell to you how proud of you she is of you pat.

[@patgamble3217]

I still cry .tell this day everything when ever I listening 🎶 to this most beautiful song in our world. To me .❤😢. Pat.

[@robharding4028]

Drops of jupiter is such an awesome title.It couldn't fail. Love this song !

[@barbarapettie1381]

so inspiring. one of the most beautiful songs ever. will always be a hitsong....

[@nomikarna6325]

will always be a hitsong.... so inspiring. one of the most beautiful songs ever. feelings not felling This song has a lot of meaning

[@bramcurtis6900]

When I first heard this song I was spell bound. I am a singer and a drummer. I got recording of it and one sunday I sat down and listened to it over and over writing down the lyrics. I was married at the time and my exes daughter from then on referred to it as "my song". I am extremely close with my mom. To hear that this song was his catharsis and the beginning of his healing only make the song that much more poignant. Raises my glass. To everyone's mom everywhere. Cheers. And to you Pat. My deepest sympathies for your loss.

[@user-pu6vb4mj3m]

I was listening to "Drops of Jupiter," earlier on the radio as my husband and I drove from a doctor's appointment. I asked hubby if he knew what it meant and he answered "no." I speculated that the song was about drugs but said I'd be sure to google it when I got home. After I googled the lyrics and then listened to the song, I was led to this link. What a touching story behind such a beautiful tune!! I really love creatives, and just because I am one, but artists have t be some of the most interesting people in the world. Thank you for this upload.

[@lovelight4388]

Beautiful, simply beautiful.

[@somanshu03]

Can't believe I found this song in 2022... what a gem

[@vickischneider8368]

His momma was looking out for him. My nephew who lost his mom (my sister)... he said this song reminds him of his mom. I also think so.

[@jay-vaz9485]

I always liked this song. But I recently lost my mother and now I hear the song and It's just huts different. "Can you imagine no furst dance; freeze dried romance, five hour conversation the best soy latte that you ever had and....me" I hope that she remembers me. I love you ma. R.I.P

[@caincliffod-marsh7088]

That's why this song is so great it's full of energy and love for his mum.

[@let88it88be]

very beautiful story. today's popular commercial 'artists' could all learn a lot

[@pattracey105]

New the story but this confirmed it. Deep lyrics which I identify with and believe - our spirit is pure energy and never dies. Best tribute song ever.

[@vuvietngoc9859]

Now that she's staring in the atmosphere she can tell to you how proud of you she is of you pat. I have lost 2 mothers and this made me tear up. WOW.....now I know why I like this piece so well.

[@ernestinethompson7057]

so inspiring. one of the most beautiful songs ever. feelings not felling

[@alittlewheiser521]

2023 and Drops of Jupiter is still their most memorable song.

[@rtrfan7398]

Well their most memorable song for me is Hey, Soul Sister

[@camelliabrown9215]

When first heard this song I did think he was talking about someone that was lost and trying to find there way back❤ I was half right

[@catalaya9942]

will always be a hitsong....

[@realSimoneCherie]

Yep 💁🏽‍♀️ Every song I hear and think is about romantic love is usually about a parent or grandparent

[@animalfinatic9366]

What you think you know you don't know at all. Romantic love is not the highest form of love, it rarely is. It's true family and friends.

[@beverlywilson7210]

This is my favorite song

[@rarethen9]

"Someone I loved once gave a box full of darkness. It took me years to understand that this, too, was a gift." - Mary Oliver

[@jdenino6022]

so sad...my sister and me used to drive around playing this song when it was on the radio a lot...she got cancer and died in 2002...everytime I heard this song since I would think of her. My sister didn't die from smoking tho...she got a very rare form of cancer....miss you sis.

[@pill5180]

i got goosebumps ...geeezzz

[@debsumiec4592]

I recently lost my second French Bulldog at the age of 5 quite tragically. My 'Soul Dog'. Unfortunately, my parents weren't to me what Pat's beloved Mom was to him...My animals were my refuge and source of unconditional love whether I deserved it or not. When Archer died, I made a Playlist of songs that reminded me of him with this song being my Number One! I've been blessed to find a new Pup in Oregon by sheer chance a few months later. His name? Jupiter! 'Trillium Meadows Drops of Jupiter'. This song and the story behind it will live in my heart forever (actually think I want to die with this song playing)...And, I work in hospice and couldn't agree more...our loved ones ARE still here just in a "different" way!!! ❤️‍🩹

[@donguild7004]

This was the song on my radio when we got the call my Daughter was killed

[@TheScrewdriver09]

18 years now, i rem how we screamed this song out of our school bus on our way back home from school , na na na na na na na , people in their cars would stare at us like whats wrong with these kids, what a song !

[@karen-if7zq]

So inspirational, thank you! ❤

[@ani2756]

One of the most beautiful songs ever written, really makes me jealous as a writer myself 😜

[@aaadddssskkkiii]

his mom came through for him even after her death

[@jalillopez424]

Drops of Jupiter it's my favorite song of all times

[@tp5776]

Thanks Mom!

[@4everJerseyGal-SC]

My fav song. 💗

[@batcatowler1972]

He made a song that will be playing long after he goes to be with his mother in heaven! I'm pretty sure she did that intentionally by being in that dream. Good job mom, good job. Even after going away, she never really left his side. 😲 Wow. That's pretty awesome ❤️

[@jeremyanthony9300]

This song has a lot of meaning

[@jeremygarcia4143]

Pat Monahan, too me, kinda resembles Mick Jagger from The Rolling Stones.

[@gertudebaatz2614]

SMOKING KILLS "Let It Roll" is another song that's about his mum's death but in a different setting.

[@happyears21694]

"Let It Roll" is another song that's about his mum's death but in a different setting.

[@WiskyDuck]

I subscribed based on the power of this single poignant piece. Thank you.

[@Justin22139]

"When I see nothing annihilated (in the works of our creator) and not a drop of water wasted, I cannot suspect the annihilation of souls, or believe that he will suffer the waste of millions of minds ready made that now exist, and put himself to the continual trouble of making new ones. Thus, finding myself to exist in the world, I believe I shall, in some shape or other, always exist; and, with all the inconveniences human life is liable to, I shall not object to a new edition of mine, hoping, however, that the errata of the last may be corrected." -Benjamin Franklin I hope something awaits us upon our departure.

[@meridiantelekoms]

Man... This song hits different now that I know what it means.

[@lyricmannixon1793]

[@marc359]

one of my fav song and one i can have a true felling for WOOT 1ST COMMENT!

[@ossiedunstan4419]

We all return that which we borrow from the mother of us all.( the COSMOS)

[@sybillenova1465]

We need to give artists (poets,writers and musicians) the liberty to l i e about their personal lives and WHO IS WHO on their inspiration/m u s e list.You can't take a n y t h i n g personal about what they say....if you expect p e r s o n a l stuff on people,check their criminal records,their bank accounts and/or subpoena them (with a lie detector n o t controlled by US intelligence agencies..)to come to court...

[@DrVargsz]

Es mi canción favorita, hasta la fecha. Que les puedo decir? 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Rocco73]

I always thought it was about his girlfriend taking a break and going off shagging other guys and then comes crawling back and this is his bitter subliminal ballad to her!! Thats exactly whats the lyrics are saying! !!!!!!!!!!!

[@animalfinatic9366]

You have issues. I'll pray for you.

[@Estheticianturnednurse]

No bc that’s what I wondered too lol
