Loss is a frequent muse for artists, but when singer-songwriter Pat Monahan went to bed one night and woke up just minutes later with a vivid lyric inspired by the recent death of his mother from cancer, he achieved something rare: A song about loss that soars instead of mourns, leaving the listener with a life-affirming sense of joy and serenity. Grounding the song’s celestial side are the oft-quoted lines from the bridge about “deep-fried chicken” and “the best soy latte you ever had,” detailed lyrics that lend a sense of everyday levity to the spiritually uplifting anthem.
“I was feeling like a kid that lost his mom. Even though I was thirty years old, it felt like I was five,” Monahan tells Billboard about penning the lead single to the group’s second album, Drops of Jupiter. “The song felt like she was writing it — because she was telling me, ‘This is what happens after life. You can do anything you want, swim through the planets…’ and she came back with drops of Jupiter in her hair. It was a way of easing my mind that it wasn’t a bad thing.”
