Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Jimmy Buffett's song "Mexico" describe the allure and escape of Mexico from the perspective of an American who is feeling restless and disillusioned with their life "state side". The first verse sets the scene, by suggesting that to find a reason to move, to find adventure, and to escape worries and pressures, one needs to leave the familiar, and venture away from one's usual routines. The second verse speaks of the people that the singer encounters in Mexico, and their vibrant and passionate energy, which he finds infectious. The chorus echoes the sentiment of the first verse, as the song's narrator betrays a sense of being enticed by the idea of Mexico, and is compelled to go despite the lack of planning or preparation.

At its heart, the song is a meditation on seeking out the unknown and embracing the journey towards self-discovery, adventure and escape. It captures the spirit of wanderlust and the thrill of exploring new places, seeking new experiences and having the freedom to be who you want to be.

Thanks soooo much for the upload!!!

It made me cry... but that's only because... it's very hard for me to see him without getting extremely emotional.

This man and his music... cold extremely special memories for me.

I've really been through a lot in my life... but I made it through every time... because all I had to do was listen to Jimmy and I knew I'll make it through everything.

I feel incredibly lucky to have been able to see Jimmy live many times.

We miss you Jimmy!

Legacy will live on through us parrotheads!

I had to stop... I was bawling my eyes out watching..😢

It’s so crazy to think that this was 6 months before he passed. I can only imagine the physical symptoms he was internally fighting through during this time, with cancer. It shows how much he truly loved performing. But more importantly, I think he understood how important his concerts were to his fans. How seeing him live was an event that they planned all year for. Those few hours of happiness and escapism. He understood what it meant for so many of us. And so he powered through. What an amazing man, and what a huge hole his absence will leave. Thank you Jimmy! Thanks for all the music, the memories, and playing on until the very end! You are loved so much!!!

Your words make it an emotional reading for this parrothead. He seemed to be such a humbled and loving man to those he made happy, and in turn, also made him happy. I really think he enjoy the happiness of his fans and their eccentric attire at his shows. Ive seen videos where he got involved with some of the tailgating. He was just a big party that never seemed as if it was ever gonna stop until..........it did. Youre so right though. This man struggled through it for as long as he could cause it was his passion...his fate. Jimmy was a smart man and had made his money long long ago. He didnt have to keep doing this for over 50 yrs. He chose to. I, like many, remain so lost and hurt over the loss of our dear, good friend, James William Buffett. He was a staple in my life.

He was perpetually young. Strong voice, high energy, having fun. One of the last or perhaps the last true entertainer and storyteller. So many musicians play what they want you to hear. Jimmy played what we wanted to hear. And it always seemed new and fresh. He will be missed.

Nancy Slider

32w↑2

Having just recently discovered his ‘pandemic interviews’ with daughter Delaney, I’ve seen him say several times that when writing & performing it IS with his fans in mind. They may be rich with his true tales & characters but with his finger on the pulse of what touched our hearts be it bouncy & fun or sweet, thoughtful, full of melancholy 😢

he had a LOT of fun in his life and nothing from that caused him to die. it was skin cancer and perhaps the sun had something to do with it. But not his party habits...it never affected him.

As a semi professional musician whose seen this man at least 20 plus times in my life I got to say this last week has been the toughest musically for me to take. I, like you all, mourn the passing of our beach combing pirate and poetic muse. I do hope to see him again when God calls me home - I'll just listen the melodic sounds of JB in heaven. God bless you my musical fellow troubadour. Until we meet again,..

“That’s the way to go.” And now I’m bawling. Bless him and the Coral Reefers. “I’d rather die while I’m living than live while I’m dead.” That had to be such a hard moment for the band. And for Jimmy, although he sure as hell meant it.

Yeah, he almost trainwrecked Brown Eyed Girl. He kept singing through the lead break, lost his place, and the band helped him get back on track. I only noticed because he's been flawless all his life. Even with this, it was still a master performance by one of the greatest songwriters in history. But he struggled at times through this.

Just 6 months before his passing he clearly looked thinner and much more aged than just a year earlier, but he still had that same infectious joy and spirit. His health had to be taking its toll, yet he never let on, not to his fans. I believe he kept his illness private so that his fans could continue to enjoy living life with him while he was still here instead of mourning him before he was gone. I also believe that his music and performances were as much for him as they were for all of us. It's was what kept him going, his own "magic kind of medicine that no doctor could prescribe." Funny how so many of his lyrics take on a new meaning now. One of my favorites is from Trip Around The Sun -- "Just enjoy this ride ... until it's done." Yes, Jimmy, you most certainly did.

Wonderful video of his last tango in Phoenix. Wish I was there, but your video is like I was there. I moved to Tucson AZ only 2 months later, from CA. I am choked up reading all the comments for a wonderful man who was such a part of my life and my Tropical Vibe. Jimmy smiling all the way to the end, he knew it was time to put the book on the shelf. Bubbles Up Jimmy, you will be in my heart and soul forever. Thank you for being YOU, now you can rest.

Thank you so much for sharing this. I’m just at Fins, and I already have a huge smile. I last saw him in Frisco, Texas with Jerry Jeff Walker in 2016. I was on row 26 from the stage on the floor of the stadium. It was there by myself and still managed to have a blast with all my fellow Parrotheads. There’s nothing better than a Jimmy Buffett concert. God rest his soul. ♥️

When I heard the news on Saturday Sept 2 , 2023 , My best friend and I packed up a giant cooler of drinks & the loudest stereo we could muster to head out on our little lake in Minnesota called White Bear Lake. From noon until 2am , we played every single Buffett song. The entire catalog. As hard core fans , we knew virtually every lyric. 14 hours of not playing the same song twice (ok maybe a few to entertain the crowd! ) As friends came and went on the pontoon throughout the day , I realized that nobody in my circle of friends truely felt the lyrics like my Buddy and I did. Buffett's songs have been a beacon of light for the past 30 years. That was our way of celebrating Buffett and his legacy. It will forever be tradition for us.

Huge fan as a teenager in the 70's we travelled the eastern seaboard partying with Buffett and sitting in basements around old spool tables. It set the course for the next 50 years of my life. As Buffett got more mainstream and conservative my musical interest moved on but it's very sad to see him gone. Time moves on though, nothing could ever be like the 70's again. RIP old friend.

Thank you David for uploading this one ! 70 year old here can't live this long without seeing what this world can do to us all. My Bro died from cancer just before his 41 st B Day 30 years ago he had a wife and kids and everyone loved him and he loved them and his work and motorcycle. Our Mother 3 years later at 75 years old heart trouble mean old Pop lived till he was 93 years old and gave the scam Nigerians all his real estate holdings and money helped by Western Union . Many of my friends have died or the world crushed their dreams. I cried for them all but Jimmy Buffett was a kindred soul a beach Bum brother that did good and showed everyone a beach bum , fisherman , surfer can get it done right...and better than most. He also had his demons before Come Monday hit , he about gave up ... thank goodness for us all he did not and it hit...I did my 4 years in the Navy off Vietnam for 2 of those years on a Aircraft carrier fixing communication systems I should have stayed in...lol... mean old world out here....For Jimmy it was different when I got news of his passing it was like the party was now over and no one likes that feeling... We all got old and the party was now over time to pay up and get out but not till this concert is over it was so wonderful to look back on this one...Jimmy was very talkative there..
