I took off for a weekend last month
Just to try and recall the whole year
All of the faces and all of the places
Wonderin where they all disappeared
I didnt ponder the question too long
I was hungry and went out for a bite
Ran into a chum with a bottle of rum
And we wound up drinkin all night
Chorus:
Its these changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes
Nothing remains quite the same
With all of our running and all of our cunning
If we couldnt laugh we would all go insane
Reading departure signs in some big airport
Reminds me of the places Ive been
Visions of good times that brought so much pleasure
Makes me want to go back again
If it suddenly ended tomorrow
I could somehow adjust to the fall
Good times and riches and son of a bitches
Ive seen more than I can recall
Chorus:
These changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes
Nothing remains quite the same
Through all of the islands and all of the highlands
If we couldnt laugh we would all go insane
I think about paris when Im high on red wine
I wish I could jump on a plane
So many nights I just dream of the ocean
God I wish I was sailin again
Oh, yesterdays over my shoulder
So I cant look back for too long
Theres just too much to see waiting in front of me
And I know that I just cant go wrong
Chorus:
With these changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes
Nothing remains quite the same
With all of my running and all of my cunning
If I couldnt laugh I just would go insane
If we couldnt laugh we just would go insane
If we werent all crazy we would go insane
Jimmy Buffett (1946-2023) was an American singer-songwriter, musician, and author known for his "Parrothead" style of music, which blends elements of country, folk, rock, and calypso. Born in Pascagoula, Mississippi, Buffett spent his childhood in various locations across the United States before settling in Key West, Florida, where he began his musical career in the 1970s. His success is attributed to songs like "Margaritaville", "Come Monday", and "Cheeseburger in Paradise", which made Buffett a cultural icon associated with a relaxed and idyllic atmosphere. Besides music, Buffett wrote several novels and non-fiction books, including the bestseller "A Pirate Looks at Forty". His music and personality inspired a large fan base, the "Parrotheads", who celebrate simple living and a love for vacations. Buffett died in 2023 at the age of 76.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
