Never gone* - Backstreet Boys

I was listening again to Drops of Jupiter - and i realised i never really understood what the song was all about!

So id went online to search for the meaning - and i found this clip where Pat Monahan himself explains the story behind the song and its meaning:-

Interesting, isn't it? The song basically is talking about how his mom basically never left - but she is still around, here, in the atmosphere!

It was all the more special to me as today, my family commemorated the 4th anniversary of the passing away of my dad. Yes, he left his physical body on the 23rd of April 2007 - but to us, he is never really gone. He will be always with us in our hearts - and on that one sweet day, we'll be reunited again up in the clouds to be with the Lord forever.

*The title song of their "comeback" album.
