Changed My Latitude (Official Country Music Video)

Changed My Latitude (Official Music Video) by Dearg MacTavish - a coastal country song about trading Buffalo Southtowns lake-effect snow for boat life on Florida's Nature Coast. I grew up where the storms come in sideways off Lake Erie: Route 5 in the Southtowns, ice on everything, a fish camp on Chautauqua, deer season in Cattaraugus County. These days home is a sailboat on the hook in Kings Bay, Crystal River, with my blue merle Collie, Winter, barking at the sea birds every sunrise. This one is about the thousand miles in between. I didn't leave that old life behind. I just followed the water. I'm a digital artist: I write every lyric and build these songs with my own voice. Crafted with heart, from the lake to the Gulf.

LYRICS - Changed My Latitude Verse 1 I grew up where winter storms come in sideways Off Lake Erie, paintin’ everything in ice and white Where the wind’ll rattle every old screen door And a cold night means you’re stayin’ inside But we’d still throw a line when the ice broke Still chase that sunset down a two-lane road There was always somewhere past the next hill Somewhere that wild heart wanted to go Pre-Chorus Then one day I traded frost for sunshine And found a whole new kind of blue I still get a hint of that north wind Every time I feel those old roads echoing in the dark Chorus From Southtowns snow bands to a trade wind breeze From that old fish camp and deer season to a boat on the hook in a bay From casting lines in northern water To chasing blue where the sand meets the sea From snow on the dock to salt on my skin From back county roads to chasin’ an island dream I didn’t leave that old life behind I just followed the water... and changed my latitude Verse 2 Now the mornings smell like saltwater And the palms start movin’ when the breeze rolls in I’ve traded snow tires for dock lines And a heavy coat for a worn-in crooked grin There’s spring water clear as a window Mangrove shadows and a Gulf sunset And somewhere beyond that horizon There’s another little island I ain’t seen yet Pre-Chorus Yeah, I still know the sound of a howlin' north wind Still remember what those winters can do But somewhere between the lake and the ocean I found out blue comes in more than one hue Chorus From Southtowns snow bands to a trade wind breeze From that old fish camp and deer season to a boat on the hook in a bay From casting lines in northern water To chasing blue where the sand meets the sea From snow on the dock to salt on my skin From back county roads to chasin’ an island dream I didn’t leave that old life behind I just followed the water... and changed my latitude Bridge Give me a chart, a little open water A setting sun and somewhere to go Drop that anchor when the sky turns golden Let the warm wind tell me what I already know You can change your latitude You can cross a thousand miles But that restless kid who chased the horizon Still wakes up with that same old smile Chorus From Southtowns snow bands to a trade wind breeze From that old fish camp and deer season to a boat on the hook in a bay From casting lines in northern water To chasing blue where the sand meets the sea From snow on the dock to salt on my skin From back county roads to chasin’ an island dream I didn’t leave that old life behind I just followed the water... and changed my latitude Outro Yeah, I changed my latitude But I didn’t change who I am Still chasing water, still chasing sunsets Still looking for the next place to drop the anchor From Southtowns snow bands To trade winds I just follow the water to my next adventure Lyrics: Dearg MacTavish Yachties N Hotties #ChangedMyLatitude #DeargMacTavish #CountryMusic #CoastalCountry #TropRock #BeachCountry #OutlawCountry #NewCountryMusic #BoatLife #BuffaloNY #WesternNewYork #LakeErie #CrystalRiver #FloridaCountry #OfficialMusicVideo
