11: Happily Ever After (Now And Then)

Notices

Banana Wind is the 21st studio album by American popular music singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett. Released in June 1996, one year after Barometer Soup, released in August 1995.

"Jamaica Mistaica" is a ballad about an incident in Jamaica on January 16, 1996 in which local authorities mistook Jimmy's seaplane, the Hemisphere Dancer, for a smuggling operation. The plane was shot at while carrying Buffett, U2's Bono, and Island Records producer Chris Blackwell. No one was injured, though there were several bullet holes in the plane.

Desdemona's Building a Rocketship concerns the character Desdemona from Buffett's 1992 novel Where Is Joe Merchant?.

The song "False Echoes" (Havana 1921) references The ship captained by Jimmy's grandfather, the five masted barkentine, Chickamauga, named after the civil war vessel the CSS Chickamauga.

Happily Ever After (Now And Then)
by Jimmy Buffett & Dave Loggins
From the Album Banana Wind

I’ve been a stand-in, a stunt man
I’ve takin’ some falls
Troubles I’ve had my share
But one has to learn how to run before walkin’
‘Round breathin’ that million air

Take it from me cuz I found
If you leave it then somebody else is bound
To find that treasure, that moment of pleasure
When yours, it could have been

Some people never find it
Some… only pretend, but me
I just want to live happily ever after every now and then

I’ve been in vans and in bands
On and through stages
One thing I can conclude
One has to learn havin’ fun is just smilin’ through
Those Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes
Take it from me cuz I’ve found
If you leave it then somebody else is bound
To find that treasure, that moment of pleasure
When yours, it could have been

Some people never find it
Some only pretend, but me
I just want to live happily ever after every now and then

Some people never find it
Some only pretend, but me, hell
I just want to live happily ever after every now and then
