Changes In Latitudes, Changes In Attitudes Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Motha_Naturz_Son 

Cover art for Changes In Latitudes, Changes In Attitudes lyrics by Jimmy Buffett

Like most Jimmy Buffet songs this is about escaping reality. When life gets tough Parrotheads get going to the islands or just migrate to the nearest tiki bar if they don't have the vacation time. This song with its painfully inane and sadistically sophmoric lyrics is about Jimmy Buffet's inabilty to cope with life's obstacles which would require looking within himself and facing his fears. Rather than grow and learn to adapt to ones environment, Buffet suggests it is better to change the environment. For those of us who don't have our own jet and millions of dollars of spending cash, the bottle of rum will have to do.

Wow, I think you really missed Jim’s messages and wisdom in this song. They include… 1) Remember the good times 2) Be grateful “if it suddenly ended…” 3) Look excitedly to the future “waiting in front of me…” 4) Enjoy the present “a chum with a bottle of rum” 5) Don’t take life or yourself too seriously and remember to smile, laugh and enjoy life “if we couldn’t laugh…”

Some of his songs are about chilling and escaping, but many are packed with insight and wisdom if you look a tad deeper.
