@@JayveeTV I think it can be seen from your viewpont as well as thats the way I always saw it. I think he has left the interpretation open as he doesn't say specifically in the song its about and for her. It makes it very special now that I know it ❤
This song was huge. HUGE. I've never owned a copy of it in any format, and yet I know every, single, solitary, word. That’s how ubiquitous it was. All OVER radio, huge crossover appeal. Simply a BIG HIT!!!
While grieving his mom who had recently passed away, he woke one morning with "she's back in the atmosphere" running through his mind. He then imagined his mom floating in space getting "drops of Jupiter" in her hair. Wondering what if those we love and lose could still be here, in a different way, he imagined his mom was "back in the atmosphere". This song is the result! Check out the "permanent scar" on his chin.
My favorite band of all time. I hear a lot of people hating on them, I just don’t get it. Most music now a days is not the best, Train is just soo good
Yes, I love this song; the singer Pat Monahan wrote this song about his mom, who passed away from Cancer. He wanted to know what heaven was like for her. Every time I hear this song, I think about my mom in heaven. Great song🎶🎶
My aunt died and this song came on the radio right after. Now I can't listen to it without crying. I hope she is dancing out in the universe, sailing across the sun, seeing the lights. Heaven is overrated :)
I have the same problem! I can't listen to it without thinking about my Grandmother. Heaven isnt something I ever got into lol. But SHE did, so this song somehow makes me feel connected to her heaven in a way I could never quite "get" from the religious side.
It always feels like their current single is their biggest hit until the next one comes out lol "Meet Virginia" was everywhere and "Drops of Jupiter" was inescapable.
The song was to his mother after she died. My take is that she was a kind of hippie that was looking for freedom of the mind and would often go off on tangents that left him wondering if she found what she was looking for. favorite line, "your best friend always sticking up for you, even when I know your wrong." That shows how much he loved her.
I find this song so increibly sad, especially since I too lost my mum from cancer. I cannot listen to this song without shedding a tear. I wish I could speak to her again.....
Many years ago I was out observing the sky through my telescope with a friend, and she said one of her kids, who was maybe 14 or 15 at the time, had dedicated this song to her on a local radio station for her birthday, because she was such an avid stargazer/amateur astronomer. He died just a few years later, in his early 20s, having lost his battle for sobriety, and every time I hear this song I think about him, his smile when there was still innocence in his eyes, and how happy his mom was that night under the stars.
He does have such a nice voice. Easy to listen to! If you like this. Gotta check out The Script and Matchbox Twenty! The Script - Breakeven and The Man Who Can’t be Moved Matchbox Twenty - Unwell and If You’re Gone
Yes definitely Matchbox20 are one of my favourite bands and the Script are excellent too. Love their song Superheroes x great choices for our boy J to try x
Great song. Train is amazing and Pat Monaghan has a great voice. They have that San Francisco vibe and just make ya stop and smile. Great tunes …. You’re on fire today!
This song is just on a different level. It is complex, lyrically, the arrangements. It has it all. How about when the strings come in and the percussion drops! This is a treat
One of my absolute favorite songs ever. He has one of the cleanest, pure voices I’ve ever heard 🖤🖤🖤. Great band, great song. You can’t tell the meaning of the song unless you already know it. Pat is also one of the nicest guys in the industry ❤️❤️❤️
So glad you decided to take a listen to Train, this is my favorite song by them, and as you now know it's about his mom who passed from breast cancer, such a sweet and beautiful tribute to her. Thanks Jay
Train are truly a great band. Check out "Hey soul sister" a massive world wide hit and voted music release of the year internationally There song Marry Me was also used on TV for a documentary about the marriage of Prince William and Kate Middleton.
I saw this band at the Houston Rodeo some years back and was taken aback by the vocalist. The whole band was great and I'd heard their songs on the radio, but it was an incredible concert I did not expect. Good stuff. 😊
I was today years old when I learned this was about his mother. I loved this beautiful song before but wow now I have tears in my eyes. You can hear it in his amazing voice. What a great song and band. Thanks J!!
The lyrics never made much sense to me. Then the night before my mom's funeral, jetlagged, distraught and exhausted, this song started playing in my head. I was as many days old then, when I thought, I wonder if this song has anything to do with loss, and googled the story behind it. It's funny how art works... And while there are tunes and lyrics, this is absolute poetry and art in its truest sense.
This song is actually about his mother who passed away. Such a touching tribute with cosmic metaphors and personal musings encapsulated with heartfelt instrumentals. One of my all-time favorites ❤️
This is a song that will surely stand the test of time. Whether you're a Train fan or not. Good songs transcend the artist themselves and hang like drops of Jupiter for others to grab.
That smile comes from the meaning in that song. Also I always get a huge smile on my face just singing a song especially at like karaoke when you got a crowd getting into your song.
The lead singer wrote this song after having a dream about his Mom who had passed away from cancer, like he was having a conversation with her and her spirit was free to go anywhere and she goes travels through the universe finding herself and being free and she comes back with a drop of Jupiter in her hair and they have a conversation, she says Heaven is overrated and tells him to love ❤️ this life he’s in right now! So the song came to him in a dream and he got up wrote it down and sang it into a dictaphone, wrote it in about 30 minutes the next night before he went to bed he finished up the song! The rest is history it’s a beautiful song 🎶
Used to play this song multiple times a day when my 13 year old was in a bad car accident and we almost lost him. I would sing to him in ICU and hope he could hear me. They didn't think he'd make it through but he did. Had a traumatic brain injury and other injuries but we made it through. Another song I sang to him was angel from Montgomery. When he woke up he said he remembered Angel's singing
my mother passed away in 2011.. this was her favourite song .. I miss her so much I am sure she is with me though .. this brought the best out of us .. bittersweet memories .. she was in pain when she passed but happy for the memories this brought back
It's amazing the way a song can hold memories for you like a locket. Each song can be a time capsule forever to someone. I'm so sorry about your mom, wishing you the best and comfort in those happy memories.
SONG: ALL TOMORROW'S PARTIES No one has reviewed THE VELVET UNDERGROUND featuring NICO. This was the birth of goth. This band was Andy Warhol's house band at the Factory. Musicians Lou Reed, John Cale and Nico got their start here.
Oh Thank God! I've been waiting for you to discover the greatness that is Train! React to anything! You'll Love it! Yes, he's a wonderful singer. He even does a capella live! Thanks for the smiles! 😁💖
Great reaction!! another song off the list.. If you think he sings good you should look up a few of their accappala versions. here's a few more that put them on the map Train "Meet Virginia" Train "Hey Soul sister" Marc cohn "Walking in Memphis "
Any one who's a Train fan should watch the video where the band are in the cafe in a Danish train station & the guys are there waiting for a delayed train They begin to sing an impromtu performance of this song & its brilliant! At first only a few people listen but as they get into it The train station rocks it! BRILLIANT! 🇬🇧👧
Thank you for reacting to this song. This song means so much to me and gives me so many happy memories, to see someone else hear it for the first time is special. Thank you
Beautiful song about his mother. Pqt said the song came to him in a dream after his mother passed away. I feel the song is lyrical masterpiece. You should listen to pat sing acapella, no mic, just another guy playing guitar and pat's talent. Amazing! I get chills everytime I hear this song!
I love that you genuinely appreciate the song just as I do. They have many great songs! You should also check out Third Eye Blind as well. Songs such as “jumper” “How’s It Going to Be” or “Deep Inside of You”. They are great!
To me this was a two-way conversation between a recently deceased mother and her son. Maybe long-standing things or questions were left unsaid or unanswered, before her passing, an longing or experience many have been through I'm sure. We got the pleasure of this singer sharing this most intimate moment, that apparently came to him in a dream.
I love this song so much. Never knew it was about his mom. But it was such a huge hit. Marry, me; Save me, San Francisco; Bruises; 50 ways to say goodbye; You Can Finally Meet My Mom; Don't Grow Up So Fast; are some of my favorites.
Train is fantastic. Their Greatest Hits are a treasure trove of awesome spanning from 1998 to 2018. There were only a couple that I felt were missing: "Parachute" and "She's On Fire" (the latter being the lead track on the Drops Of Jupiter album).
I'm a music photographer and hear loads of music. Weirdly, Train as a band slip by most people's attention, however you can play song after song of their stuff and people go "oh yeah, love that song, never heard of Train though but I know that song".
I got to see them perform at the 2001 DC Chili Cookoff along with the Go-Gos and Jimmies Chicken Shack. 👍 My hometown. I miss it sometimes, just not the traffic.
@JayveeTV He wrote this for his mother after she passed, it would be awesome for you to pull up the lyrics and re-listen to the words when you view it from the point of a son speaking to his mother’s spirit. It’s powerful!
He wrote this song for his mother when she died. He's imagining the journey her spirit is taking now she can go anywhere. Beautiful song ❤
Yes. Thank you
Thanks for sharing that. It gives this song a new meaning for me and makes it even more beautiful ❤
Wow I totally got the meaning wrong then
@@JayveeTV I think it can be seen from your viewpont as well as thats the way I always saw it. I think he has left the interpretation open as he doesn't say specifically in the song its about and for her. It makes it very special now that I know it ❤
I did not know that. Thank you.
This song was huge. HUGE. I've never owned a copy of it in any format, and yet I know every, single, solitary, word. That’s how ubiquitous it was. All OVER radio, huge crossover appeal. Simply a BIG HIT!!!
this is the one song that no one would ever get sick of listening to on the radio, which is the only song I can say that about!!!
Yea it was definitely the song of the summer the year it came out.
@@xtinkerbellax3 it was a song of the year it won for song of the year
Do Meet Virginia, Calling all Angels, Hey Soul Sister all
from Train
My fav is Drive By, but those are all good.
Damn you beat me to it. I was going to mention Meet Virginia by Train.
I agree with all three of these especially meet Virginia.❤️✌️🌼
Meet Virginia is still one of my favorite songs EVER lol
I like Mermaid...

Pat is hugely underrated in my opinion. Train makes great music!
Train is soooo good!!
My favorite band of all time. I hear a lot of people hating on them, I just don’t get it. Most music now a days is not the best, Train is just soo good
Hit after hit- always relevant ❤
Yes, I love this song; the singer Pat Monahan wrote this song about his mom, who passed away from Cancer. He wanted to know what heaven was like for her. Every time I hear this song, I think about my mom in heaven. Great song🎶🎶
I’ll be crying for a while now
Bless you and yours
I'm not crying, you're crying 😢 I'm sorry for your loss
It's genius the way that he wrote this. About his mom but it could also mean a lost relationship with space imagery
My aunt died and this song came on the radio right after. Now I can't listen to it without crying. I hope she is dancing out in the universe, sailing across the sun, seeing the lights. Heaven is overrated :)
Heaven is IT!
I have the same problem! I can't listen to it without thinking about my Grandmother.
Heaven isnt something I ever got into lol. But SHE did, so this song somehow makes me feel connected to her heaven in a way I could never quite "get" from the religious side.
Hey, Soul Sister is Train's biggest hit worldwide
Check out the live version he did with Daryl Hall. Astonishing.
easily their worst
It always feels like their current single is their biggest hit until the next one comes out lol "Meet Virginia" was everywhere and "Drops of Jupiter" was inescapable.
The song was to his mother after she died. My take is that she was a kind of hippie that was looking for freedom of the mind and would often go off on tangents that left him wondering if she found what she was looking for. favorite line, "your best friend always sticking up for you, even when I know your wrong." That shows how much he loved her.
She listens like spring and she talks like june. He's a poet.😍😍
I recently learned the meaning behind that line…..spring being several months, June being one month, it means listening more than you speak.
He really is a poet. This is a beautiful song.
If you like Train, you will like The Wallflowers... maybe try ' one headlight.'
Another massively underrated album.
Great song!
The Wallflowers, the only band to cover Bowie and do it better than him with Heroes.
@@johnirving5949 your not John Irving the author are you??
@@vtbmpskier5400 No, it's my actual name, but he's a fair bit older than me
One of my favorite songs. Reminds me of a person that died. He loved this song and I loved him.
I miss you Terry
I find this song so increibly sad, especially since I too lost my mum from cancer. I cannot listen to this song without shedding a tear. I wish I could speak to her again.....
Such a well written song: the lyrics, the piano, the way the full band comes in after the intro. The whole thing is just great....
Super tight. Awesome.
Even if your not the biggest Train fan you can not deny that Pat Monahan is GREAT!
Totally underrated. He has a monster epic voice.
ever see accapala versions of Soul sister or meet virginia where he's singing outside at a cafe?? no instruments...blew me away!
“Checks out Mozart while she does Tae Bo” reminds of my niece every time I hear it. Beautiful song about his mom. His voice is amazing
Many years ago I was out observing the sky through my telescope with a friend, and she said one of her kids, who was maybe 14 or 15 at the time, had dedicated this song to her on a local radio station for her birthday, because she was such an avid stargazer/amateur astronomer. He died just a few years later, in his early 20s, having lost his battle for sobriety, and every time I hear this song I think about him, his smile when there was still innocence in his eyes, and how happy his mom was that night under the stars.
I love that the structure of this song is so different to others but it flows so beautifully anyway. Love the orchestra in it too. Just beautiful.
Train is Amazing band with so many awesome songs!
I listened to this so much, he is really talented. Sweet that he wrote this for his Mother.
He does have such a nice voice. Easy to listen to! If you like this. Gotta check out The Script and Matchbox Twenty!
The Script - Breakeven and The Man Who Can’t be Moved
Matchbox Twenty - Unwell and If You’re Gone
Yes definitely Matchbox20 are one of my favourite bands and the Script are excellent too. Love their song Superheroes x great choices for our boy J to try x
Those early 2000s! #altrock
*Calling All Angels* by them is gorgeous.
Great songs from that time
But can't forget that one!
Great song. Train is amazing and Pat Monaghan has a great voice. They have that San Francisco vibe and just make ya stop and smile.
Great tunes …. You’re on fire today!
I was just playing this album this morning. Pat Monahan has a very distinctive voice.
This song is just on a different level. It is complex, lyrically, the arrangements. It has it all. How about when the strings come in and the percussion drops! This is a treat
Lyrically, this is one beautiful , if somewhat psychedelic song. Vocally Pat tears it up (in a good way).
One of my all time favourite songs, beautiful 🙂
"Meet Virginia" is also a great song by Train.
Calling all Angels next Please JAY
OH!!!!!!!!! that is a great one
Please listen to "Train - Soul Sister" 😍
Yes yes yes!
You’ve got to do Hey Soul sister next, or calling all angels (both other train songs btw)
This song is a lyrical masterpiece……Pat can paint a picture with his words and voice like no other❤️♥️❤️
One of my absolute favorite songs ever. He has one of the cleanest, pure voices I’ve ever heard 🖤🖤🖤. Great band, great song. You can’t tell the meaning of the song unless you already know it. Pat is also one of the nicest guys in the industry ❤️❤️❤️
So glad you decided to take a listen to Train, this is my favorite song by them, and as you now know it's about his mom who passed from breast cancer, such a sweet and beautiful tribute to her. Thanks Jay
I remember hearing this for the first time and automatically going to our local "record store" to purchase the bands entire cd. I wore it out.
Train is awesome. Do more! He does one with a country singer from Pistol Annie’s called “bruises”
Unbelievable song. One of the biggest hits of 2001.
Calling All Angels, Cab, & When I Look to the Sky are excellent songs by them as well btw
Train are truly a great band. Check out "Hey soul sister" a massive world wide hit and voted music release of the year internationally There song Marry Me was also used on TV for a documentary about the marriage of Prince William and Kate Middleton.
Love Train. HAPPY to see you react to them. Hey Soul Sister and Calling on Angels are 2 u should hear!👍♥️
Excellent analogy, except it’s about his mothers passing
I really like “drive by” by train 🚂 and “if it’s love”
Saw them in concert a while back, they were incredible, his voice is just as good live!
I’ve seen Train twice. Such a great band! 😊
I saw this band at the Houston Rodeo some years back and was taken aback by the vocalist. The whole band was great and I'd heard their songs on the radio, but it was an incredible concert I did not expect. Good stuff. 😊
They are so so good in concert!!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this song! Always have and always will. It's so poignant.
You gotta check out Meet Virginia. That's my favorite Train song. This one is a close second.
Pat Monahan rocks!!! You have to see "50 Ways To Say Goodbye" but make sure its the music video, please.
Thank you :)
I was today years old when I learned this was about his mother. I loved this beautiful song before but wow now I have tears in my eyes. You can hear it in his amazing voice. What a great song and band. Thanks J!!

And while there are tunes and lyrics, this is absolute poetry and art in its truest sense.

He sounds just as good in concert
This song is actually about his mother who passed away. Such a touching tribute with cosmic metaphors and personal musings encapsulated with heartfelt instrumentals. One of my all-time favorites ❤️
This is a song that will surely stand the test of time. Whether you're a Train fan or not. Good songs transcend the artist themselves and hang like drops of Jupiter for others to grab.
Amazing song!
Next…
Hey, Soul Sister
Calling All Angels
If it’s love
Drive by
Marry me
***Guess that’s a good start lol
That smile comes from the meaning in that song. Also I always get a huge smile on my face just singing a song especially at like karaoke when you got a crowd getting into your song.
They have a great song called Marry Me. You should react to that be.
Monahan always sounds good. Saw him live solo and duet with Brandi Carlile on a collaboration. Awesome.
The lead singer wrote this song after having a dream about his Mom who had passed away from cancer, like he was having a conversation with her and her spirit was free to go anywhere and she goes travels through the universe finding herself and being free and she comes back with a drop of Jupiter in her hair and they have a conversation, she says Heaven is overrated and tells him to love ❤️ this life he’s in right now! So the song came to him in a dream and he got up wrote it down and sang it into a dictaphone, wrote it in about 30 minutes the next night before he went to bed he finished up the song! The rest is history it’s a beautiful song 🎶
50 ways to say goodbye, by Train is a good one. The music video for this one is fun
Pat Monahan is such a fabulous singer so Train is one of my favorite bands. BTW, their
song "Superman" is one of my all-time favorites!
This song instantly takes me back to my vacation in Italy in the summer of 2001. It was played so much. Like every hour.
I’m glad you liked it man. This is my favorite song of all time
This song is for his mom that passed away and he even has a win based on this song. It's the sweetest thing I've ever experienced!
I played this song for my mom when she passed two months ago. ❤️
I JUST listened to this the other day! You are blowing my mind
Used to play this song multiple times a day when my 13 year old was in a bad car accident and we almost lost him. I would sing to him in ICU and hope he could hear me. They didn't think he'd make it through but he did. Had a traumatic brain injury and other injuries but we made it through. Another song I sang to him was angel from Montgomery. When he woke up he said he remembered Angel's singing
I had such a HUGE crush as an 11 year old listening to this. I sang this at school, in the shower, at home chilling, walking to the store
my mother passed away in 2011.. this was her favourite song .. I miss her so much I am sure she is with me though .. this brought the best out of us .. bittersweet memories .. she was in pain when she passed but happy for the memories this brought back
It's amazing the way a song can hold memories for you like a locket. Each song can be a time capsule forever to someone. I'm so sorry about your mom, wishing you the best and comfort in those happy memories.

SONG: ALL TOMORROW'S PARTIES
No one has reviewed THE VELVET UNDERGROUND featuring NICO. This was the birth of goth. This band was Andy Warhol's house band at the Factory. Musicians Lou Reed, John Cale and Nico got their start here.
Top tune Jay...when I first heard this song it took me away..deep and meaningful... great voice! Peace.
Oh Thank God! I've been waiting for you to discover the greatness that is Train! React to anything! You'll Love it! Yes, he's a wonderful singer. He even does a capella live! Thanks for the smiles! 😁💖
I just realized that you need to react to Black Crowes “She Talks To Angels”. Absolutely amazing band and vocals.
Such a beautiful song. One of my favourites.
I loved this song from the very 1st hearing & i still love it so very very much
Train are a great band & Pat is a unique singer !
Your in the Train rabbit hole now! They never disappoint!! Tons of fantastic songs!!
Great reaction!! another song off the list.. If you think he sings good you should look up a few of their accappala versions. here's a few more that put them on the map
Train "Meet Virginia"
Train "Hey Soul sister"
Marc cohn "Walking in Memphis "
great song . love his voice in this . very under rated singer .
This is a beautiful song, love the orchestra touch, Vocals and lyrics right on...Loved it, Thanks J. Peace
The singer is Pat Monahan, the best there is.
Any one who's a Train fan should watch the video where the band are in the cafe in a Danish train station & the guys are there waiting for a delayed train
They begin to sing an impromtu performance of this song & its brilliant!
At first only a few people listen but as they get into it
The train station rocks it!
BRILLIANT!
🇬🇧👧
Thank you for reacting to this song. This song means so much to me and gives me so many happy memories, to see someone else hear it for the first time is special. Thank you
Love Love Love Train.. They sound just as awesome live too..
Jay, the entire Drops of Jupiter album is great, but I still love their debut self titled album.
Beautiful song about his mother. Pqt said the song came to him in a dream after his mother passed away. I feel the song is lyrical masterpiece. You should listen to pat sing acapella, no mic, just another guy playing guitar and pat's talent. Amazing! I get chills everytime I hear this song!
I love that you genuinely appreciate the song just as I do. They have many great songs! You should also check out Third Eye Blind as well. Songs such as “jumper” “How’s It Going to Be” or “Deep Inside of You”. They are great!
Wow, was reading the comments while listening, didn't know, otherwise, it was a song TO his mother. Made me think of mine. Beautiful. Thanks.
This song and "Calling All Angels" are two of my favs...love love love 😍
To me this was a two-way conversation between a recently deceased mother and her son. Maybe long-standing things or questions were left unsaid or unanswered, before her passing, an longing or experience many have been through I'm sure. We got the pleasure of this singer sharing this most intimate moment, that apparently came to him in a dream.
I love this song so much. Never knew it was about his mom. But it was such a huge hit.
Marry, me; Save me, San Francisco; Bruises; 50 ways to say goodbye; You Can Finally Meet My Mom; Don't Grow Up So Fast; are some of my favorites.
I didn't know Howie Mandel played guitar. LOL This is by far the greatest tribute to a mother that I have ever heard. One of my most favorite songs.
Train is fantastic. Their Greatest Hits are a treasure trove of awesome spanning from 1998 to 2018. There were only a couple that I felt were missing: "Parachute" and "She's On Fire" (the latter being the lead track on the Drops Of Jupiter album).
I'm a music photographer and hear loads of music. Weirdly, Train as a band slip by most people's attention, however you can play song after song of their stuff and people go "oh yeah, love that song, never heard of Train though but I know that song".
I thought of one of their songs that you will love even more. Calling All Angels! 😊
Just a great voice and a masterpiece of a song.
I love this song! Please check out "Hey Soul Sister " by Train. Another favorite of mine.
Fwoosh! you have barely touched the tip of the iceberg of amazing music across the human spectrum Jayvee! Good vibes!
I got to see them perform at the 2001 DC Chili Cookoff along with the Go-Gos and Jimmies Chicken Shack. 👍 My hometown. I miss it sometimes, just not the traffic.
You were right in the sense he lost the girl he loved. I forgot how much I love Train thanks Jay!
@JayveeTV He wrote this for his mother after she passed, it would be awesome for you to pull up the lyrics and re-listen to the words when you view it from the point of a son speaking to his mother’s spirit. It’s powerful!
