"The title track, "Drops Of Jupiter," is a watershed song, a soaring tribute to love and cosmic mystery . . . "



<< The title track, "Drops Of Jupiter," is a watershed song, a soaring tribute to love and cosmic mystery featuring deluxe orchestration by Paul Buckmaster (one of rock's legendary arranger/conductors, Buckmaster played cello on David Bowie's "Space Oddity," a spiritual forebear to "Drops Of Jupiter"). >>



Seems to me like the songwriter is a little bitter about his (girl)friend's likely affair and he is tired of playing the fool:


<< Your best friend always sticking up for you even when I know you're wrong
Can you imagine no first dance, freeze dried romance five-hour phone conversation
The best soy latte that you ever had . . . and me
>>



EDIT" Speaking of Bowie's Space Oddity, wasn't that Major Tom's "Tell my wife goodbye"?
