Jimmy Buffett - Breathe In, Breathe Out, Move On (Crazy man on canal! Foul Weather!)

[PeaceJoyLove2008]

Def one of my favorite songs ever as well. Beautiful, uplifting song. We should all strive to live in the now.

As one of those who hunkered down and stayed put, Jimmy hits it right with the lyrics about how we've seen it all before. Hurricanes are nothing new here. A lot of folks leave but a lot don't for one reason or another. We figure, a lotta wind, a lotta rain, some damage and mess that we'll clean up the next day and back to business as usual. We were all wrong that time. He's also got right that it's hard to explain. You had to be there. This is the best song that came out of that night.

I heard this song a long while ago and (sadly) forgot about it until my pastor quoted

"I bought a cheap watch from a crazy man

Floating down canal

It doesn't use numbers or moving hands

It always just says now

Now you may be thinking that I was had

But this watch is never wrong

And If I have trouble the warranty said

Breathe In, Breathe Out, Move On"

in our Christmas Eve service. I am going to buy this immediately!

[PrimEvilPro]

is this the actual name of the song? breathe in breathe out move on or is it something else?

[JacobiMonsoon]

@PrimEvilPro That's the name of the song

[MrCurtisass]

I like jimmys music "even though" he's an OBAMA lover !!

[JacobiMonsoon]

@MrCurtisass lol i hear that :)

[tlandrusjr]

thesong is definitely about New Orleans. Most excellent song.

[chakathewolf]

Sound advice!

[drdgolf]

I understand what people are saying, BUT this song was written about Katrina you have to listen to all the words. Canal means Canal St, Lake Pontchartrain coming through the door, Buried the Ninth Ward to the 2nd floor

[JacobiMonsoon]

@drdgolf I liked the video of the guy on the boat, doesn't have much to do with the song. Looks like Amsterdam to me actually :)

[spambooty2001]

@JacobiMonsoon I think he is the crazy man who sold Jimmy the watch?

@JacobiMonsoon ~

the bike racks in particular remind of NL.

When you get right down with it, just going with the flow and trying to enjoy and to learn from Life's challenges may be the best bet yet. At the moment, I'm waiting for yet another typhoon to hit in western Japan.

One of the best songs I ever heard and pieces of advice I ever received :D all thanks to my aunt. And she's not dead, she's here watching it with me!

[mrxboxaddict12]

this is one of my favorite songs ever... and im only 14 =^)

[CCCT1997]

@mrxboxaddict12 same here dude.

This song is way too short, much like life....so ditch the watch and watch the world turn without you for awhile. Now does last forever, and youth never grows old.

[MsFrostieGurrl]

I absolutely love this song! This song has gotten me through so so so much in life!!!

[krico96]

This is by far my favorite Jimmy Buffett song. I love them all, though. Jimmy Buffett is a great singer.

[DragonChaserKev]

heard this song on the mighty CKUA radio network and loved it and so many of the lyrics stuck so clearly in my head.

[hellscythe2002]

nice concept, but try to use more New Orleans footage since the song is in reference to Hurricane Katrina and New Orleans :)

[molly195957]

The thing I Love about Jimmys songs is that no matter what your going through, he can convey the words that seem to say, "Hey, I know what you're going through". He sends so many different messages with just one song and we all feel like they are just for us. This song will hold me out for 10 more days until I join my Husband out of state. We've been apart for 3 months after 11 years of marriage because of work.

[1948joan1948]

A great philosophy for life. Of course everything I ever needed for a better attitude in life, I learned from Buffett.

[TheWhiteboycandance]

nannie we love you and are missing you love hoarse like he will never be there again ihope you two have a good life in heaven we all love you -Blaise

[howsyamama]

Without a doubt the most moving Katrina tribute done. And not just because I'm a JB fan. Just because it is.

[thfedexguy]

Very nice Jacob...posting it on my FB page.

[JacobiMonsoon]

the footage was spliced together with various youtube videos ;)

[Underoath2333]

[mandapanda367]

[LeoCrusader]
