Train Performs 'Drops of Jupiter' | Billboard Live Studio Session

[@23peacelovemusic]

After all these years I still think this song is a lyrical masterpiece

[@Cactly]

It is

[@theholyfather1]

Yes Yes !!

[@rolandakor861]

Agree.

[@fadeelaallyparaze2808]

Totally agree

[@michaelsmyth5877]

And melodic masterpiece, one of the catchiest songs ever written with a real story and meaning

[@briannegowan576]

My mom suddenly passed away when I was 13. She loved this song so much that I got the lyrics "tracing her way through the constellation" tattooed on my shoulder when I turned 18. Now I'm 28 and I literally just found out this song was written because his mom passed away. I've always felt a strong connection to this song, and now even more so.

[@ace-x6m]

My mom’s mom died in Nov. 1998 from lung cancer. I was only 3 years old but I vaguely remember seeing her in the nursing home as she was dying. A few years later in 2002 I heard my sister blasting this song through her stereo system then I found out what it was about and ever since then I have dedicated this song to my grandmother :/

[@tonekasymonette944]

Whyd you have to go and make me cry like that

[@cathydutch5429]

I lost my mom 2 days after Mothers Day 2022... I have always said my mom would be free, flying and visiting all of her favorite places she love when she was here was with us.. My mom is tracing the constellation as she journeys through time and space free to be.

[@dstanion]

After 9 years as a drug addict, with love and support of our family, and several rehab facilities, my beautiful daughter is clean 4 years. This song reminded me of her journey from hopelessness to a beautiful future. She is happy and full of life. Thank you Train for this beautiful song which I would sing to her , and for keeping hope in her life and ours. God bless you. Donna

[@RRTNZ2]

You know a song is truly great when all it needs is a voice, an acoustic guitar (and 3-4 chords) and it's still magic. A real rock anthem for the early 21st century, love this song.

[@tuffgonggbUNCTION]

TiZ

[@Miss-320]

I agree.

[@kachoww5981]

This is not a rock anthem but good song nonetheless

[@RoseInBalance]

There's something about this song that always brings me back to reality, back to myself. Throughout the years I always get the same sweet feeling listening to this song. There's just something about the way he describes her that is so profound and beautiful.

[@BC-on7uf]

Isn’t music amazing. Everyone has different interpretations. This song always made me think in kind a spiritual cosmo type way. Hard to put into words, but it always gave me the image of our loved ones sailing across the galaxy and the stars, constantly moving as we do, over time becoming one with the universe. It always gives me a mental image of the stars, Milky Way, and all planets inhabited. Like the soul is taking an adventure across the galaxy.

[@brunorbattlehammer5904]

if you know this song is about his dead mom its a real tear jerker

[@PersonNatalieMusic]

"She listens like spring & she talks like June" love the lyrics to this one :)

[@melissamatthes467]

Love this song

[@wesercole]

I love it too especially because my name is June 🥰🥰

[@betha8761]

I’m sitting on my sofa bawling my eyes out right this moment. My mom/best friend passed suddenly and unexpectedly three years ago. Fortunately & unfortunately I got to be there with her through it. Horrible and beautiful at the same time. She got to see me born into this world and I got to see her born into her beautiful afterlife. Funny how you can be so happy for someone and have incredible pain at the same time. Peace to anyone who reads this!🕊🌞🕊

[@snowwhite-wy3qq]

I have lost both of my parents and this song is always one of my "go to songs" when I'm missing them.

[@yungbagger4379]

snow white man im sorry about that how are you

[@jnetti1865]

God bless you ❤

[@aquarius4884]

Man fuck that life.

[@QuelTipoSulTubo]

I send you a virtual hug and the best wishes for a good life❤

[@59771006]

The song portrays a man wondering whether a woman's journey to find herself still leaves room for him, whom she had left behind. Lead singer Patrick Monahan has stated that the song was inspired by his late mother, who had died after a struggle with cancer, and that the opening lines "came to [him] in a dream."

[@sharonbaillif2026]

More like this one...please?

[@Spinach_Dip93]

I’m curious cause I might know the meaning but can I ask why you put brackets around him?

[@Lycanthromancer1]

@@Spinach_Dip93 Because the original quote was, "came to me in a dream." He changed it to fit with the sentence grammatically, and the brackets show what change was made. It's a pretty common way of doing business with quotations.

[@Spinach_Dip93]

Learn something new everyday! Thank you

[@russell7790]

I felt this comment in my soul so bad. About the girl that left to find herself. We never hated each other. I just hope we find each other again one day

[@Old70sdude]

"Your best friend always sticking up for you...even when they know you're wrong" The only friend I have ever had that's done that for me is my wife. I need to go cuddle my wife and give her a kiss. Best thing that ever happened to me.

[@tuananhtrinh595]

+Old70sdude i hope you two happiness and joy. Beautiful song ey

[@TimothyDonaghue]

+Old70sdude Sound like a white knight mangina, tbh

[@Old70sdude]

+Timothy Donaghue Could care less what you think, dude. Mangina or not, I have a happy life. Hope you do too.

[@mscottc1964]

+Timothy Donaghue Coming from a POS wearing eyeliner and makeup, what do you have a right to say?? Go back to you closet (looks like you haven't left it in a while....).

[@paulpena5040]

Lol great post. Yeah these pua scumbags are everywhere nowadays. Have a cartoon version of what male/female means.

[@PaynePresents]

The way this song is written, it captures a vibe that’s indescribable

[@Peters-d8y]

It makes me nostalgic for something that I neither had nor known.

[@DogMom56]

I love this song. My mom loved Train. She always reminded us that he grew up in Erie, PA. My mom and dad loved to spend time there. We played this song at her funeral. It gave us a moment to laugh and remember how wonderful she was.

[@caw2161]

What a frigging voice this man has; it's really what makes this song so beautiful.

[@kylegraham81]

Dire straits

[@MartínCarrión-b4l]

I love this song, It makes me feel Happy and melancholic and more feelings 😅 i cant explain ❤

[@miguelalberto7372]

Now that she's back in the atmosphere With drops of Jupiter in her hair, hey, hey, hey She acts like summer and walks like rain Reminds me that there's a time to change, hey, hey, hey Since the return from her stay on the moon She listens like spring and she talks like June, hey, hey, hey Hey, hey, hey But tell me, did you sail across the sun? Did you make it to the Milky Way to see the lights all faded And that heaven is overrated? Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star- One without a permanent scar? And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there? Now that she's back from that soul vacation Tracing her way through the constellation, hey, hey, hey (mmm) She checks out Mozart while she does tae-bo Reminds me that there's room to grow, hey, hey, hey (yeah) Now that she's back in the atmosphere I'm afraid that she might think of me as plain ol' Jane Told a story about a man who was too afraid to fly so he never did land But tell me, did the wind sweep you off your feet? Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day And head back to the Milky Way? And tell me, did Venus blow your mind? Was it everything you wanted to find? And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there? Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken? Your best friend always sticking up for you even when I know you're wrong Can you imagine no first dance, freeze dried romance, five-hour phone conversation? The best soy latte that you ever had and me But tell me, did the wind sweep you off your feet? Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day And head back toward the Milky Way? And tell me, did you sail across the sun? Did you make it to the Milky Way to see the lights all faded And that heaven is overrated? And tell me, did you fall for a shooting star, One without a permanent scar? And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself? Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na And did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day? Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na And did you fall for a shooting star, fall for a shooting star? Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na And now you're lonely looking for yourself out there.

[@cmaryk12296]

I always called this song poetry in motion because the storytelling and the words are sooo mesmerizing!

[@traceystepniak3925]

i could listen to this song 10 times in a row easy. love it what a voice it gives me chills

[@geisianemenezes7377]

That's exactly what I love about this song. ❤❤

[@rafaelrodrigues5847]

When I was child my dad had been putting this song while I tried to sleep. I remember as if it had happened yesterday.

[@edwydell5320]

Stayed at the top of the charts for the longest time he was described by 1 of the greatest as the ultimate singer songwriter and storyteller still one of my favorite songs

[@nalby8312]

[@shanice_a]

One of my favorite songs. It touches my soul and my heart for some reason..

[@nenanoo]

My husband bought me one of his concert CD's for Christmas and I have listened to it sooooo much since then. He sounds awesome live. I don't know what you people are smoking...this guy is awesome.

[@Rembez01]

ten years ago..driving at night thru the mountains of Pennsylvania and Maryland..on my way back to DC from a weekend in Pittsburgh..MIX 99...this was big..lots of good music then..remember Stain'd, Three Doors Down, Dave Matthews and Jewel??? Good times

[@blueandyellowww]

[@amyvartanian7729]

[@add_nyc]

one of the most poignant songs of our time. no matter what haters might say, this song cuts DEEP. i find pat's delivery mesmerizing because it's clear the subject matter is incredibly personal and emotional yet he manages to put on a heart-wrenching performance that nearly brings me to tears. i love the song and i REALLY LOVE this performance. great job!

[@pacoman5876]

Beautiful song

[@wickedcrypto6004]

One of the best songs ever written.

[@thejudge7486]

i genuinely have never been in such awe of a singer until now and my spectrum goes as far as classical. My god, I actually have no words..... speechless.

[@tylerely99]

Miss my mom every day

[@肯德瑞]

Last night, I was thinking about my mother who passed away 2 years ago and our happier times and how much I miss her, I dont know why but all day I just kept thinking I want to download this song. Now I found out through the comments that it was written when he dreamt of his mother who passed away. I hope she misses me too.

[@kaesenudeltopf]

Still so good! I love the entire Drops of Jupiter album.

[@Logcito]

A classical masterpiece ❤️

[@alycresswell]

One of my all time faves, first time i've heard the acoustic version, brilliant.

This is the song my family dedicated to our Mom because she had narcolepsy and "thought" she visited the universe in her sleep.When we travel together we always hear this song..we know shes with us.Train is great lots of great songs

[@chapmanhamilton]

[@brothersbrothas414]

his voice sounds much higher outside of the studio

[@twoweary]

I watched this for the first time ... now I'm gonna watch it again. Just a great song.

[@lexrox5101]

Pat has a great live voice

[@thisisengland.9099]

Wasn't really into Train back in the day...but randomly clicking on and watching this today...man oh man!!! They're goooood!! Looks like I've got some catching up to do! Got the same buzz from REM's 'What's the frequency Kenneth?' not long ago too...I absolutely HATED that song and REM originally, now I can't get enough of it/ them. Funny how artists/songs you absolutely loathed hearing back in the 90s can grow on you almost to the point of becoming an obsession. Oh well...better late than never I suppose 😂.

[@LeeDee5]

Doesn't this man look better with age?

[@Prosecute-fauci]

men age like wine. women age like milk.....

[@shannonkemp7529]

[@craighermle7727]

It's the first time I really heard and understood this line "Too afraid to fly so he never did land" What a profound way of saying "You don't know if you don't try , at least that's my interpretation.
