Now that she’s back in the atmosphere
With drops of Jupiter in her hair, hey, hey
She acts like summer and walks like rain
Reminds me that there’s time to change, hey, hey
Since the return of her stay on the moon
She listens like spring and she talks like June, hey, hey
But tell me did you sail across the sun
Did you make it to the Milky Way to see the lights all faded
And that heaven is overrated
Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star
One without a permanent scar
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there
Now that she’s back from that soul vacation
Tracing her way through the constellation, hey, hey
She checks out Mozart while she does tae-bo
Reminds me that there’s room to grow, hey, hey
Now that she’s back in the atmosphere
I’m afraid that she might think of me as plain ol’ Jane
Told a story about a man who is too afraid to fly so he never did land
But tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back to the Milky Way
And tell me, did Venus blow your mind
Was it everything you wanted to find
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there
Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken
Your best friend always stickin’ 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
But tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back toward the Milky Way
But tell me did you sail across the sun
Did you make it to the Milky Way to see the lights all faded
And that heaven is overrated
Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star
One without a permanent scar
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself..

And did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
nanananana
and did you fall from a shooting star, fall from a shooting star
nananananana
And were you lonely lookin for yourself out there...
現在她回到大氣層的懷抱
帶著木星的淚滴在她的髮間 嘿，嘿
她像太陽般地活動 雨水般地行走
就像是提醒著我 還來的及可以改變 嘿，嘿
就在她從月球上居留又返回之後
她像春天般地聆聽 六月般地言語 嘿，嘿
告訴我，妳有沒有划船跨過太陽
妳有沒有到達銀河道去看看星子的殞滅
以及發現天堂被我們高估
告訴我，妳有沒有為流星傾心
一顆沒有永恆的傷疤
以及當妳在那兒尋找自己時，妳有沒有想到我
現在她從那段靈魂假期歸返
自己一步步描繪連起星座的痕跡 嘿，嘿
現在她邊聽著莫札特邊打有氧拳擊
就像是提醒著我 還有空間可以成長 嘿，嘿
現在她回到大氣層的懷抱
我擔心她會覺得我是個太過平凡無趣的女孩
聽了有關一個因為不敢飛所以從沒有降落的男人的故事
告訴我，強風有沒有把妳吹的失足
妳有沒有終於得到機會在日光中跳舞
然後返往銀河道
還有 告訴我，維納斯有沒有震撼妳的心
那是不是就是妳要找的所有
以及當妳在那兒尋找自己時，有沒有想我
妳可不可以想像沒有愛, 驕傲和烤雞?
妳最好的朋友永遠都站在妳這邊，即使我知道妳錯了
妳可不可以想像一個沒有第一支舞 結了冰的枯燥愛情的五個小時電話對話?
妳曾有過最好喝的黃豆拿鐵...還有我
告訴我，強風有沒有把妳吹的失足
妳有沒有終於得到機會在日光中跳舞
然後返往銀河道
註: Lead singer Pat Monahan has stated that the song was inspired by the death of his mother, and that the opening lines came to him in a dream. The song, which started as a song about his mother, has evolved into a love song, according to Monahan in 2006.
兩年前這首由追隨者合唱團 Train 所主唱的木星之淚 Drops Of Jupiter 非常的紅. 在收音機裡幾乎每一個電台都會撥放. 我當時先是被它的音樂所吸引, 後來聽到其中的幾句歌詞就決定一定要去買這張 CD. 很多人都說美國的音樂和中文的音樂不同的其中一點是中文歌比較講意境, 西洋歌曲比較寫實. 但是聽了這首歌之後才了解. 當意境及寫實合併, 並且用英文表達出來時竟然可以這麼美.
說真的, 你可以想像木星之淚是什麼樣子嗎? 什麼樣的行動像是太陽一般的行動? 雨水是怎麼走的? 春天是怎麼聆聽? 而六月又是怎樣的言語? 當一個你所深愛的人想去追尋一個沒有傷疤的愛情, 你會不會希望自己從來沒有過去? 希望自己可以呈現一個像白紙一樣純潔無暇的愛情. 一邊聽莫札特一邊打有氧拳擊. 如果可以有這樣的組合那還有什麼不可能的事? 這是不是表示如果我想的話, 我現在要做任何的改變還來的及呢? 如果沒有了愛, 自尊及烤雞. 但是有知心的朋友在心靈上支持你. 不論你做了什麼, 你的朋友會像家人一樣的永遠都站在你的身邊. 這樣想一想是不是又覺得自己勇氣百倍? 又可以向世界挑戰了呢?
我還有沒有權力去做我想要做的事? 我還可不可以再回到音樂的世界用我的手及靈魂來表達我的想法及宣洩我的情感. 我還能不能瀟灑的想做什麼就做什麼? 我還可以為賦新詞強說愁嗎? 我還可以不顧週遭的一切而把自己再次的推向那個又深又黑暗只屬於我自己的角落嗎? 我忍不住問 Gary ”你快樂嗎?” 他說他很快樂啊! 尤其是每天他下了班在回家的路上時, 他想到我及小傢伙就歸心似箭. 就算是我們已經睡著了. 他的心也是感覺很踏實的. 我問他說 ”那你知道我快樂嗎?” 他嚇得跳了起來. 他反問我 ”你不快樂嗎?” 我想了一想, 我應該是快樂的. 像我現在這樣的年紀, 我的生活及我所擁有的一切都似乎很正常也很合理. 所以我有什麼不快樂的呢? 但是我還是忍不住問我自己我的靈魂是不是處於一個適當的位置. 如果我可以做一件最最最想做的事那會是什麼呢? 其實不用想我也知道那是什麼. 就是再重拾我的貝斯吉他.
