Learning to Love Train: "Drops of Jupiter" is back in the atmosphere

Yeah.

Switched on Pop
Learning to Love Train: "Drops of Jupiter" is back in the atmosphere

But instead, it's a D major chord.

Something I love about the song is, on one hand, it's pretty simple.

Switched on Pop
Learning to Love Train: "Drops of Jupiter" is back in the atmosphere

It's like the chords just kind of rotate through a few different progressions.

But on the other hand, you're making these choices that really make the song unique.

And as a listener, part of what keeps me coming back to it over and over again is that feeling of surprise.

Some other details of the song that really draw me in.

Learning to Love Train: "Drops of Jupiter" is back in the atmosphere

I mean, this is why I got confused actually with the choruses.

Unlike a lot of pop songs, the choruses don't just repeat the same lyrics.

Switched on Pop
Learning to Love Train: "Drops of Jupiter" is back in the atmosphere

Right.

Learning to Love Train: "Drops of Jupiter" is back in the atmosphere

It actually evolves.

I say drops of Jupiter one time in the entire song.

What were their objections to those lyrics?

I feel like time has vindicated you.

Switched on Pop
Learning to Love Train: "Drops of Jupiter" is back in the atmosphere

Those lyrics are some of the most indelible parts of the song today.

Switched on Pop

Yeah.

There's also a lyric about Tybo, I think.
