Desdemona's Building a Rocket Ship - Jimmy Buffett video free download

James Garvey

First time I heard this song I was (appropriately) in the Keys with my wife on our honeymoon back in 2009. It was at an outdoor market with crabs just crawling around, the smell of coconut and pineapple in the air, and a light breeze coming off the Atlantic. The song fit the moment absolutely perfectly. From then on, every time I hear this song I think of the Keys. God, I so miss it there!

Desdemona is from Shakespeare’s “Othello”

Wow. I knew I couldn't have been the only one.. as soon as I heard this song I kept thinking of Eleanor from Contact, and I haven't seen this movie in years.

Adam DeLand

I know that Desdemona is a character from one of his novels, but the song reminds me of Contact.

Just visited the "Giant Telescope" down in P.R. Arecibo Observatory...

This has gotta be one of my favorites from Jimmy. _It was under the giant telescope where she heard the calling voice..._
