After all these years I still think this song is a lyrical masterpiece
It is
Yes Yes !!
Agree.
Totally agree
And melodic masterpiece, one of the catchiest songs ever written with a real story and meaning
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.
:(
:'(
😢
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 :/
Whyd you have to go and make me cry like that
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.
TiZ
I agree.
This is not a rock anthem but good song nonetheless
if you know this song is about his dead mom its a real tear jerker
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.
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.
"She listens like spring & she talks like June" love the lyrics to this one :)
Love this song
I love it too especially because my name is June 🥰🥰
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.
I have lost both of my parents and this song is always one of my "go to songs" when I'm missing them.
snow white man im sorry about that how are you
God bless you ❤
Man fuck that life.
I send you a virtual hug and the best wishes for a good life❤
The way this song is written, it captures a vibe that’s indescribable
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
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!🕊🌞🕊
When I was child my dad had been putting this song while I tried to sleep. I remember as if it had happened yesterday.
What a frigging voice this man has; it's really what makes this song so beautiful.
Dire straits
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."
More like this one...please?
I’m curious cause I might know the meaning but can I ask why you put brackets around him?
@@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.
Learn something new everyday! Thank you
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
I always called this song poetry in motion because the storytelling and the words are sooo mesmerizing!
i could listen to this song 10 times in a row easy. love it what a voice it gives me chills
That's exactly what I love about this song. ❤❤
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.
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.
"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.
+Old70sdude i hope you two happiness and joy. Beautiful song ey
+Old70sdude Sound like a white knight mangina, tbh
+Timothy Donaghue Could care less what you think, dude. Mangina or not, I have a happy life. Hope you do too.
+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....).
Lol great post. Yeah these pua scumbags are everywhere nowadays. Have a cartoon version of what male/female means.
One of my favorite songs. It touches my soul and my heart for some reason..
in my opinion one of the most beautiful original songs ever
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!
One of the best songs ever written.
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
who said that?
This song will never fail to give me goosebumps
A classical masterpiece ❤️
For my mom. For everyone’s mom. To see the lights all faded.
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
Am I stil listenin to this in 2020?? Oh.. what a very very nice song, man!!
Still so good! I love the entire Drops of Jupiter album.
When someone makes comments of his BELOVED mother then even I BELEIVE.
For I LOVED my mother
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
after ten years, he still sounds great.
In my opinion....The best song of the decade!!! This guy can really sing!! Not to mention write a great ditty!!!!
The first three Train albums are gold. Excellent lyrics
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.
This is one of the best written songs to come along in a long, long time. It is poetry put to music in a perfect mixture of melody and lyrics.
One of my all time faves, first time i've heard the acoustic version, brilliant.
I’ve loved this song for so long and didn’t know it was about his mom before reading the comments. Now I’m sobbing, thanks
best. song. ever.
I got teary eyed in public last night at their concert when Pat sang this one. I don't do that in public. Mom approved tho 🙏🤗
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.
You had better believe it, I only heard this song last month and am now singing it, Masterful lyrics and music
One of the most contrived "unplugged"-style videos I have seen.
And I love it, because.
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.
IMHO , One of the top ten songs of the genre.
I lost my mom last month-I hope your dancing up there - your body is free from pain 😢
this song is written for pat's mom .. great lyric and story behind it .. one of my most favorite songs of all time
Amazing! Sang from his heart. No ear monitors in his ears.. Amazing
This song is so beautiful in so many ways
No matter how many years go by I see myself sitting in my chair in room listening to this on a tape I recorded on the radio.
this is the most beautiful song I ever heard. the lyrics are brilliant ♥
I miss the days when musicians had real talent like this.
and, after 9 yrs... more and more...
THANK YOU SIR. MAY YOUR MOTHER RIP. THANK HER FROM US FOR THE GIFT THAT SHE AND THEN YOU IN TURN GIFTED THE WORLD.
They play that so much, a person can forget how perfect their own songs are. Fabulous! Keep creating what's new.. Love these guys
whenever someone says train is trash i just remind them of this song
My mom passed away form lung cancer last year. Thank you for writing this song.
This song is timeless, just makes me think and feel so much
Love this song
Saw train in concert 2 years ago
I think they are just as good live as they are on cd
"reminds me that there's time to change.."
One of the best written song.
SHE ACTS LIKE SUMMER AND WALKS LIKE RAIN.
REMINDS ME THAT THERE IS A TIME TO CHANGE.
..
SHE LISTENS LIKE SPRING AND SHE TALKS LIKE JUNE
This song reminds me of some great times in my life. Definitely a classic to me.
Great performance as well. :)
John Stamos and Howie Mandel are great together ❤
10 years later. what a song
Amazing...you never really know what someone is singing about...I always thought it was about a past lover...not his mother after she passed away ...that is true beauty.
Gorgeous VOICE!!! Love love love!!!
One of my top 10 songs ever... :) LV it!
Amazing. Sang from his heart. No ear monitors did he use. Just amazing
Super elaborated master piece, hope those times come back soon
You sang this in my home. You will always be in my mind, Never say never. Reeko
My mother recently passed away and this was her favourite song
She acts like summer and walks like rain.... Reminds me that there's time to change!!! Since the return from her stay in the Moon she listens like spring and she talks like June ..... Feliz Dia mamitas
This guy is classic Not one of the pop award winners can hold a candle to him .
Howie Mandel is a pretty good guitar player...
Hahaha you seriously got me for a second 😂 I was legit like "Holy shit is that really?!"
He looks exactly like him pretty much 😂
I wonder if he knows that🤣😂🤣
Wth, I thought it was him. I peeked a second look.
Lol
The best song ever and ever 🎉❤
I love acoustic versions of good songs.. They're quieter and have a more personal feel.
this song always grounds me whenever I'm feeling uneasy! death will take me before i stop listening to this beautiful song Train gave to all of us :)
his voice sounds much higher outside of the studio
This song is a fucking killer....i was like 20 years old when this was released..and still listening to it now that i am 32....
My son told me about this song. It´s the best gift he has even given me
Pat has a great live voice
Doesn't this man look better with age?
men age like wine. women age like milk.....
+Nick Pelletier not true. most men get old and fat and bald by 35, while a lot of women still look great
Who cares? I dont sleep with men. Young chix rule all!!!!
+Jeffrey D
yes because the world revolves around you and who you f***
Which one?
This song blows my mind
This song was 10 years ago no.14 in the world charts #train
Nossa , essa música é tão linda, serve pra vários momentos da sua vida, momentos triste e felizes, pra vc estar estar com a pessoa que ama .
I love it when they do this with Howie Mendel on guitar and backup vocals.
mikespiano190 he's apart of the actual band
mikespiano190 That's not Howie Mandel, its Jimmy Stafford. He's an original band member from when they started 20 years ago.
seen this band live in the UK this year now going to travle to the us to see them again
Rip mom and grandmom love u both miss u both so much already!!!!!! Ty for this appreciate it!!!! OF COURSE THIS SONG HAS SO DIFF MEANING NOW, BUT ALL GREAT MEMORIES!!!!!! BIG LUV FROM PHILLY PA!!!!! 👋
wondering did she miss me? probably not, cuz I'm still alone. lol
is this jason bateman and howie mandell?
This comment never got the love it deserved 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
This is talent. Pat you deserve what you finally got. Look him up people.
Had no idea this song was about his mother until I read the comments. Dig this song even more now.
Way better that his "hey soul sister" live version..
Who the hell listens to soul sister... lol
Rest in peace.
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 😂.
This is a great SONG... to be so sparse yet moving is lovely. It's so much about the amazing vocal performance. Great pipes , sir. Rock on PEACE
This is good song about love
Yeah he write it for his mother
why does he remind me of damon salvatore
Exactly!
hahah this would be damon if he ever aged ;)
haha youre so right!
Same style
