Chevron Right Soy lattes and the literal dream song: An oral history of Train's 'Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me)' Share Oral History Soy lattes and the literal dream song: An oral history of Train's 'Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me)' It's been 20 years since Train became a Grammy-winning band thanks to a last-minute addition to their sophomore album. EW looks back at how the 2001 hit almost didn't happen. Everyone knows the lyrics to Train's "Drops of Jupiter." It doesn't matter if you're the San Francisco rock band's biggest fan or someone who never listens to the radio — when the opening piano notes hit, it's like those cosmic lines take on a life of their own. Lead singer Pat Monahan's words about a woman being "back in the atmosphere, with drops of Jupiter in her hair" catapulted the group to global superstardom back in 2001. And in the 20 years since it debuted, the single's celestial lyrics and soaring melody have yet to lose any of their original spark (even as the band's lineup changed, with only Monahan remaining from the original members).
