  • I love the Carolina Low Country.. Charleston, Mt Pleasant, Shem Creek, Isle of Palms, Sullivans Island .... it is a state fo mind...

  • Happy Birthday to me.....

  • this song, Bama Breeze, and One Particular Harbor --- my life, my wishes, my dreams -- and after so very many years -- finally most have come true -- God, wish it had been 30 years ago so I could realoly have some fun!!!!!!!!!

  • Love the lyrics to this song... it calms me down now and then when I need to remember to just BREATHE...

  • What a great way to start my birthday day! Thank you Joanne for sendint it to me. You make my day!!!!

  • Awsome song

  • Love it :b

  • Martina, not bad for a girl from a little town in good ole Kansas.

  • This is one of my favorite Buffet songs of all time, something one would hear on a lil transister radio on a beach somewhere while having a clam bake. it's not traditionally Buffet to be cutting a ballad, but singing this with Martina made it a grand slam.

  • @buffaloditka Buffett is very likely to sing ballads. Try this 4 disc set...

    Boats, Beaches, Bars & Ballads, you'll like his ballads.

  • I've GOT to learn this as a birthday song.

  • JIMMY BUFFET FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!!

  • 2 neat people - lovely video , lovely duet .

  • For a real Buffett treat, check out Crossroads, on CMT.com. Jimmy and Zac Brown Band really rock the house.

  • Happy New year to all parrotheads every where.....Today we start another trip around the sun...Here's hoping that it is all you dream it will be. Here's to the ups and downs that is known as life!

  • Hats off ! !

    Dawn C

  • MARTINA MCBRIDE IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES THEY SOUND GREAT TOGETHER

  • Another Parrothead here...for sure!

  • love the song veryone trip aroun the sun will end

  • Jimmy Buffett, Martina McBride, and a classic Stearman...awesome

  • This video is great but unfortunately the words are off by a few seconds meaning that the lips are still moving even though they've finished the sentence.

  • Happy Birthday Sarah!

  • I love this song. I send it as a message to my Facebook friends in a message on their birthdays.

  • Damn I love this song!!!

  • Martina is such a beautiful woman

  • My birthday song always!!!

  • Yee Yaw A Bday song from my man Jimmy and lady Martina Thanks!

  • This is a the best birthday anthem ever! Now it just has to be released to that popular music and video download app.

  • love this song!

  • nice song!

  • Boy doesn't it make you reflect? Superb song. Should be a world classic and it will be in the years to come, other artists will want to cover it. A real slow burner. A gem of a song.

  • It's scary to hear the original "Live life to the fullest" guy, Buffett, singin a song about gettin old.

    Even more scary that it mirrors the way I've been feelin all year.

  • i love this song

  • sttagger wind bi-plane

  • Martina makes this song! Jimmy just sings around her amazing vocals.

  • Fantastic love this song

  • good song about life ~!!

  • I like Jimmy's Stearman..... :)

  • wow....martina mcbride is PRETTY

  • good song

  • I am a parrothead... have been for over 35 years now... this song has touched me like no other before... i had open heart surgery 7 years ago and so every year this trip around the sun has been one extra that God had given me....... i about to have another birthday and I thank God every day that I am here... I have two children that know that Jimmy has touched my life as well as who am I am

  • Besides being responsible for the Background Music for my Life...Bubba has been my Psychologist. Listen to the words of this song and watch...You will feel peaceful.

  • Bruton is dead, Mystic, so he isn't reaping any benefits:(

  • Thanks for posting - One of my top favorites on this CD - <3 my JB

    Fins up!

  • I love love LOVE this video

  • Where can you find this song? Is on one of his CD's or hers?

  • @gilmoregirl266 jimmy's "license to chill" CD

  • one of the songs I want played at my funeral! Good stuff

  • nah. Let loose and enjoy each trip around. There is no afterlife to wait for.

  • This song reminds me to hang on tight and just enjoy the ride. Till we get together at the party on the other side.

  • Great duo, great video!

  • ER.....really????? really???? really????? really????? yeah great.....he wrote the song but Buffet made it famous..and he's reaping the benefits of Jimmy doing that!!!!!! go figure.....it's a great song...kudos to Stephen Bruton

  • amazing song realy makes you think.i love jimmy,all his songs are amazingly written

  • Ah today is my birthday and this is how I feel sometimes. Thanks Jimmy. Whether I spend my next 23 years on Heaven or on Earth, I shall rejoice. Just one more candle and a trip around the sun. It's in God's control...peace...

  • I love this music video! To be honest sometimes it makes me cry when I hear this and see this video. Everyone has a trip around the sun. I love Jimmy Buffett and Martina McBride both. This Ones For The Girls is great! I like do like my country now. Good country that is.

  • You know guys down below here, let's just enjoy this beautiful song. OK?

  • Stephen Bruton of Austin Texas wrote this song. You can hear a less saccharine / less produced version on Stephen's "Nothing but the truth" C.D. ... or you can Google his name and the song title.

    Buffet MIGHT get introspective, but he's never come close to Bruton's musicianship or his ability to articulate and inspire, in his writing ... ... "songsmanship".  let's give credit where it's due.

    E.R.

  • Wow, a side of Jimmy Buffett I wasn't familiar with: his soulful side, almost introspective. Even though he has been around forever I only know his really big hits but my sister sent me this on a mixed CD last year. I adore this song. When my CD collection "died" in a storage unit fire this spring this was one of the first songs I made her download for me (I am not iTunes-savvy so I have to make her do it, LOL).

  • This is probably better than most of what's on "Take the Weather" and the actual album from which it comes, but it's all good, Jimmy.

  • radiosteve1969. want it played for mine also. l love the song.

  • i love this song. i LOVE both Martina Mcbride and Jimmy Buffett. But they are just AMAZING together (: thanks for the great video.

  • awsome song really makes u stop and think

  • One of my Funeral songs

  • "it would'nt change a thing if i let go".

  • Ya, that line really hits the heart, doesn't it?

  • Great song!

  • love this song! so much not because i originally liked it but because it is so true

  • This is how the POOL has felt to me!

    I hope you enjoy The Ride Ms. Abigail.

    Thank you, B. P. Y. C.

    Ernesto

  • This song was written by Stevie Ray Vaughn and Stephen Bruton.

    RIP

  • Al Andderson, Sharon Vaughn, Steve Bruton

  • This song was written by Brother Stephen Bruton. RIP

  • Beautiful airplane.

  • great video!!

  • jimmy buffett, a great talent never seen him in concert, only got into his music last year, but he is the king of chill and i hope he returns to the u.k. soon.

  • Love this song. Holy crap is Martina HOT HOT HOT!

  • @Mrblancnoir yes she is....I saw her at the East Kentucky Expo Center a couple of years ago, and she was friggin sexy as hell. And she's an amazing performer

  • Folly beach SC the best thing to ever happen to it was Hugo, it actually knocked the trailer parks off the beach and it's nice now. thanks Hugo

  • Comment removed

  • This was filmed at Folly Beach. I live about 4 miles from there. I love it! My favorite place ever!!!!!!

  • It funny that most people automatically think that Jimmy films everything in FL. This is Folly Beach S.C. A beautiful place where I have spent many days.

  • Curtis?!!

  • stearman????

  • yes it is, USN used as primary trainer. i have a pic of my dad with one

  • ive lived in tampaand clear water beautiful state

  • c'è dell'aids in paradiso

  • Beautiful song. Go Buffett!

  • what part of florida did you live in

  • Comment removed

  • Makes me miss Florida even more, if that's possible. Jimmy can make any song your own private song. He and Martina were fantastic on this.

  • i love this song so much but it reminds me that i wanna go back to the coast

  • I love Jimmy Buffett and radial engines!

  • This song and video is beautiful. I grew up on country. but I usually am into Psychopathic Records and Metal. Oh and this song was made for the Hurricane Katrina victims. How would it make a great birthday song for adults?

  • this song was written by stephen bruton in 1999. how could it be about the hurricane katrina victims?

  • That's what I was wondering...

  • The first stanza of the song provided a subtle clue about the song being about birthdays. "hear them singing Happy Birthday". p.s. a trip around the sun = 1 year

  • I play it every year for my Birthday!! I also take my Birthday off every year to take a day for myself. ( I highly recommend it!) Before anyone else goes crazy!

    You OWE IT TO YOURSELF, NOT YOUR BOSS!! Spend a little for yourself! OR WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU WORKING FOR???????

  • If you start your own church can I be a deacon. LOL

  • I really agree with whomever left the comment that "this should be the offical birthday song for adults." With both parents being in the hospital this year I'm really going to stop & take a look back on my birthday!

  • Damn Martina is so beautiful and her voice, she is soo amazing wow this song is incrediable! the 1st time I heard it I always knew she had a beautiful voice but her voice is so complex so unique that no one ever could match up to that powerful hottie! thanks for giving us this super B song!

  • Great vocal pair , Jimmy and Martina

  • I love this song

  • my comment is to all you assholes who post the kareoke songs. you suck and you ruin it for everyone who wants to enjoy muisic with out you assholes screwing up the dam songs. i wish you all would just go to hell

  • i think it is

  • Is that a Sterman? Sorry if the spelling is incorrect?

  • i think it is not to sure but i love that plain

  • "No, you never see it coming

    Always wind up wondering where it went

    Only time will tell if it was time well spent"

    Great line.

  • Comment removed

  • I love Jimmy Buffett and Martina they are awesome. I went to Jimmy's 'Margaritaville' restaurant in Panama City and it was cool

  • I believe this song should replace "Happy Birthday" as the official birthday song for adults!

  • @jackiecfrye I totally 100% agree!!!!!!!

  • @jackiecfrye ANY song to replace that obnoxious ditty.

  • I believe this was written by Al Anderson. Another great song from Big Al.

  • It was co-written by Jimmy Buffett, Mac McAnally, Al Anderson

  • Written By stephen Bruton of austin Texas, See his album: "nothing but the truth"

  • I wonder how many people know that it's his plane in the video and scenes of him flying it. Buffet is an avid and accomplished pilot.

  • And you have accomplished what?

  • I think he wants to fuck him...

  • GREAT ! My B-day song

  • My ex-wife......

    Except it's been more like 8 trips around the sun.......

  • I know the feeling, man. I myself have a hard time listening to "Someone I Used To Love" off this album, even though it's a great song.

  • Yeah....I know that one as well.....I love Jimmy buffet so much but that whole album came along a very difficult time in my life....Jimmy had a lot of tear jerkers on that one.....Even still, as always.....He always knows exactly how to make timeless, beautiful music....He is my favorite artist......

  • I love Jimmy Buffet so much.....Too bad this is the hardest song in the world for me to listen to......

  • I'm curious - why?

  • this is such a good song... Jimmy is one of my personal favorite people in the world, and Martina Mcbride has such an amazing voice, they really did an outstanding job with this song

  • I love this song.. Martina and Jimmy go great together.

  • Makes you want to live on the coast somewhere.

  • I'm fairly certain that's in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Great place!!

  • Excellent Song, and Video

  • if there is one thing i've learned from all this living it' s that it wouldn't change a thing if i let go. just enjoy this ride . . .

  • Meaning..................what?­

  • the song is great martina is in it love her she makes this a fantasic video

  • Great song , Jimmy buffet is a great songwriter . never a bad song

  • I just love this song. I could listen to it all day. I think it my very favorite and I have many. Mary

  • @marydposey After the first time I heard it, I did just that...spent most of the day listenin to it over & over & over between customers (I'm a cabdriver)

  • This song was written by Al Anderson, formerly of NRBQ, NOT by JB (who knows how to pick 'em as well as how to write 'em).

  • This is the best Birthday Song ever! It has replaced the traditonal "Happy Birthday Song" in my house!

  • do the candles burn all the way down by time everyone is done singing?

  • This such a great song and duet...Thanks Nikon!

  • Love this song! Always listen to it around my Birthday (And throughout the rest of the year)

  • What a beauty of a song indeed Mark! I've taken many trips around the sun & find myself still waiting and wondering.

  • Did you know Jimmy Buffett co-wrote two juvenile books with his first-born daughter? They're called "The Jolly Mon" and "Trouble Dolls", mainly by Savannah Jane Buffett.

  • Martina McBride, right?

  • God doesn't steer a parked car. Sails up, rudder set to the weight points and let Him guide you!! Where he guides, He provides! PROMISE!!

  • My life fell apart twenty years ago and its been a roller coaster ride ever since with some high points and lots of episodes of me and my life crashing into the wall. For all I've learned, I still haven't figured much out and still struggle with powerful and conflicting emotions. Once again, as so many times before, Jimmy gets right to the heart of the matter, expressing feelings or views that we all have and helping us to see that, "If we weren't crazy, we'd all go insane."

  • So many beautiful messages in this song. Someone who has experienced pain as you have . . . I can see why this song would mean so much to you. I'm betting you have figured out more than you may realize with all the the crashing into the wall. Seriousness aside . . . isn't it fun to think of all this as a trip around the sun? I love the thought. Mary

  • mip 1950, how's the roller coaster ride?

  • Two of my favorites giving everyone a lesson they could learn if they would only open their minds and ears. I've opened mine and learned SO much more! (Love you MM & JB!)

  • Thanks Mike! Sent the link to my Mom on her birthday today. Kind of brings things into perspective. Have a great holiday season and to hell with political correctness by telling all of you "Merry Christmas". Later!

  • When this song first came out I was in the hospital. At that time there really was the possibility I was going to "Take a Trip Around the Sun." Good song

  • Great song from 2 of the best.

  • Best birthday song ever..."Just enjoy this ride..til it's done" Great advice!

  • I think that this video has a good message!

    I know that I am too serious and this has put me under a lot of stress. Great song!

  • Martina has absolutely the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen. She is so smokin' hot, lucky Jimmy doing a song with her. Good song but I watch this vidio just to see her and those amazing eyes.

  • @thecoffeetrader I've said the same many many times. So big, so blue...Striking! Those eyes are the most beautiful I've ever seen.

  • I absolutely love this song. It's an awesome hit. I want to personally dedicate this song to my 12 best friends Kevin, Emily, Lori, Gillian, Shawna, Derek, Nicole, Eidalia, KC, Brendan, Kevin, and Anna because they are all such good kids and I'm sure they'd love me for this. So, Kevin, Gillian, Emily, Lori, Shawna, Derek, Anna, KC, Derek, Eidalia, Brendan, and Nicole, this ones 4 u. Luv Ya Shawna, Missed ya this summer Lori, Keep rockin on Kevin! God Bless All.

    Love,

    Jeff.
