Before their hit song Hey, Soul Sister and If Its Love, there was Drops of Jupiter. The song was nominated for 5 Grammy back in 2002, and won two awards, one for best arrangement and the other for best rock song.
The song according to the lead vocalist Patrick Monahan was inspired by the death of his mother that came to him by a dream which was later turned into a love song.
And if you are wondering if there are more astrological terms in the song, there are plenty. Venus, Milky Way, shooting star, sun etc. Poetically, the use of references to planets, stars, and galaxies gives an ethereal feel to the music, contributing to its popularity. The lyrics propose a lost lover who has 'found a shooting star', explored the Universe, but comes home.
