Meaning of American Pie by Don McLean

Brace yourself for this trip ....

Although Don McClean only released the song in 1971,
 for those of us who grew up in the 50’s and 60’s
 this is a great piece with some very poignant moments
 in the history of those times. 
 And for those of you who did not, 
it’s a taste of what you missed.
"American Pie" was the name of the plane
 in which Buddy Holly, Richie Valens and The Big Bopper 
were killed when it crashed in 1958 –
 and I knew the chorus about music dying on that day. 
 I have listened to American Pie for many years 
and I thought I understood what was being sung
 but now realize that I didn’t.
 However, when the words are put together
 with pictures and film clips the song takes on a new meaning. 
 It took a lot of thought to produce this
 and it brings back lots of memories 
and also makes the lyrics really come alive!


 PS. The lyrics are available as subtitles.
