Drops Of Jupiter

"Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me)" is an alternative rock song by California rock band Train on their second album Drops of Jupiter (2001). It was their first single from the album, and hit the top 5 of the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 5 on the chart. The song has spent over 100 weeks on the Adult Contemporary charts, and is still charting on the Recurrents chart. Although the song was released years before digital download became commonplace, the song has sold over 100,000 downloads (giving it a Gold certification by the RIAA), and hit the top 50 of the Digital Downloads charts five years after its release. The song won 2 Grammy Awards for "Best Rock Song" and "Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocalist(s)". Due to its unique and enigmatic lyrics, the meaning of song has been the subject of speculation since its release. Lead singer Pat Monahan has stated that the song was inspired by the death of his mother, and that the opening lines came to him in a dream. The song, which started as a song about his mother, has evolved into a love song, according to Monahan in 2006. On March 29, 2005, Judy Collins release a cover version of this song on her Portrait of an American Girl album. As of 2008 K!d B. has released his cover version which is said to be on his album A K!d Like B.

Drop of Lucifer (parody of Drops of Jupiter, by Train) Now that he's back in the atmosphere The drop of Lucifer is severe, yeah yeah... yeah... He acts like somehow his worldwide reign Reminds him of his diamond days, yeah ... Till the return of the Way and the Truth He's livin' like a king and he talks like it too, yeah... yeah... So tell me, are you sad you crossed the Son? Did you fake it so the millions may believe Your light's not faded and that Heaven is overrated? And tell me, did you fall like a shooting star? One day you'll be burning in fire I'm glad you missed me while you were booking your hotel down there Now Christ came back with our soul salvation Saving the day to your consternation, yeah ... I checked out Romans, found He loves my soul Reminds me that He's assumed control, yeah ... yeah... Now that He's back and the coast is clear I'm afraid that we might think of you as A plain old angel, you're scarier than that Though I'm not afraid to die, still the devil's pretty bad So tell me, did your sin sweep you off your seat? Did you finally get the chance to glance at all the Bible says What happened to you anyway? And tell me, did Jesus blow your mind? Did you ever think He wanted to die? I read your history while I was lookin' 14:12 Isaiah...
