Straight Up Paula Abdul

I recently did a cover on YouTube of Paula Abdul's song "Straight Up", a favorite of mine back when it first came out. Another musician on YouTube, Clint Hollinson, added his backing vocals and a band arrangement to my video and I love it! Be sure to visit Clint's channel and subscribe, he has some great songs up. Both covers and originals. And when I say covers, I mean full band covers, which is pretty amazing. Check out his cover of Coldplay's "Politik".

The meaning of lyrics

"Drops of Jupiter" by Train is one of my all-time favorite songs. I remember the first time I heard it. I was in Pasadena, California, and I was watching a top 20 countdown on VH-1. Well, I was mostly just listening while getting ready to go to school. I was enrolled at the LA Music Academy at that time, and classes didn't begin until mid-morning.
The song came on, and I guess halfway through it, I thought "Wow, this is good". Listen to the strings, the piano, the delicious rhythm throughout the song. It's a classic, in my opinion. I came to love the song, bought the album a few days later, and also bought the album that came before that.
I always thought the lyrics were just about some girl the singer liked.  But as you'll discover in this video, the song is really about the singer's mother and how he believes that even though she has passed away, she's still around somewhere- in the atmosphere. Knowing the meaning better makes me love the song even more, it's so beautiful.
