A Pirate Looks at Forty

Yeah.

Dave Matthews sang one of Buffett's songs, A Pirate Looks at Forty.

You hold a treasure that few have ever seen.

Most of them dream.

... feel like an orgasm.

I'm just saying, like, the wave, when I feel, like, antsy or just, like, pissed off at everything and I'm like, "Have I cried? Like, when's the last time I cried?" If it's been, if it's been a couple weeks, I'm like, "Oh, I need to put on, like, my dad's favorite song is 'A Pirate Looks at Forty' by Jimmy Buffett.

I'm gonna put that on.

I'm gonna go in my closet, and I'm gonna cry." And then I can feel this, like, wave of tears and emotion, and I'm in it, and I'm like, "Yeah, look at me crying," you know? And then I can feel it when it, like, dissipates and it's gone and I can't quite get that anymore, and I'm like, "Oh, okay." And then I do feel, like, better or more centered, or just like, "Okay, I can, I can take a deep breath now, and I'm a little bit clearer." Um, I d- if you haven't cried in a while, it's time, especially in early sobriety.
