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

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

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.

This is not a rock anthem but good song nonetheless

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 :)

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.

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

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

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!🕊🌞🕊

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."

@@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.

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

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

"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.

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

One of the best songs ever written.

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.

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.

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!

A classical masterpiece ❤️

In my opinion....The best song of the decade!!! This guy can really sing!! Not to mention write a great ditty!!!!

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

best. song. ever.

after ten years, he still sounds great.

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.

The first three Train albums are gold. Excellent lyrics

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

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

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 🙏🤗

For my mom. For everyone’s mom. To see the lights all faded.

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.

One of the most contrived "unplugged"-style videos I have seen. And I love it, because.

this is the most beautiful song I ever heard. the lyrics are brilliant ♥

You had better believe it, I only heard this song last month and am now singing it, Masterful lyrics and music

They play that so much, a person can forget how perfect their own songs are. Fabulous! Keep creating what's new.. Love these guys

Amazing! Sang from his heart. No ear monitors in his ears.. Amazing

John Stamos and Howie Mandel are great together ❤

I lost my mom last month-I hope your dancing up there - your body is free from pain 😢

THANK YOU SIR. MAY YOUR MOTHER RIP. THANK HER FROM US FOR THE GIFT THAT SHE AND THEN YOU IN TURN GIFTED THE WORLD.

Gorgeous VOICE!!! Love love love!!!

One of my top 10 songs ever... :) LV it!

Train is my all time favorite band! Too many great songs by Train that I cannot name a favorite. Keep writing music cause you guys 'ROCK'…. Yeah!!

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!!!!! 👋

this song is written for pat's mom .. great lyric and story behind it .. one of my most favorite songs of all time

Saw train in concert 2 years ago I think they are just as good live as they are on cd

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 song is timeless, just makes me think and feel so much

This song reminds me of some great times in my life. Definitely a classic to me. Great performance as well. :)

I've always loved this song...

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 :)

My mom passed away form lung cancer last year. Thank you for writing this song.

Dang he still sounds incredible. I ran into them on tour at a gas station in Saint Paul Minnesota in 2002 and almost had a conniption. ❤️

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 😂.

I love it when they do this with Howie Mendel on guitar and backup vocals.
