The lyrics “back in the
atmosphere” came to Pat Monahan in a dream.
At the time, he was a man suffering from the loss of his mother. He had, in fact, retreated to his home,
deeply saddened by the loss of his mother to Cancer. By his own admission, she was the most
important person in his life.
After waking from the
dream, Pat wrote a song you likely know very well. The song is Drops of Jupiter and is entirely about Pat’s mother. He had in mind that she would always be with
him as he composed the song.
I always liked the
song. But knowing the place where the
song came from makes a difference.
Today, I have posted a
video of Drops of Jupiter with lyrics.
