Who's watching in 2024? It was more than 50 years ago when I first heard this song, my pre-teen years. Don, my namesake had a head full of curly and thick hair then. I was born and raised in the Philippines 🇵🇭 and the lyrics didn't mean much, but I learned the chords, memorized the song, strummed my guitar and sang it with my 4 brothers and neighbors. Those were the days. Do you recall what was revealed 🤔 the day the music died?

I'm not sure what the 🥧 part of the title means, but this song is as AMERICAN as it gets, maybe only behind the national anthem. It has so many purely American references in it, only leaving out baseball perhaps. His real genius was not referring to Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valens directly, but making us wonder all these decades. Plus the tune is also brilliant. They asked Don in an interview, What does American Pie mean to you? He said, It means I don't have to work anymore! We should all be so lucky. Thanks Don!

@@charliesouthgate6125 Yeah, I admit here a year later what I wrote sounds a bit fan-boyish. But this song... it's a part of me. It describes the turmoil my country endured through my formative years. And actually, there's a much more personal reason why I love American Pie. When I was a child through the 60's my mother always sang me a song at bedtime. So when I had a daughter in the 90's & 00's I would bring my guitar into her bedroom every night and we'd sing a bedtime song of her choice together. I usually brought in a 3-ring binder of songs I had printed. And her favorite bedtime song was.... you guessed it. American Pie! I sang this song hundreds of times for my daughter at bedtime. When she was very young it was adorable when she'd make the sign of the cross when it got to The Father, Son and The Holy Ghost. Too cute for words. Now lest you think my daughter was a much deeper thinker than a regular 6 year old would be I should point out that the actual reason she chose American Pie more than any other song was because it was the LONGEST SONG in my 3 ring binder. And children have their priorities at bedtime. "Read me the long one Daddy" :) Nonetheless, to me American Pie is a masterpiece. And listening to and seeing interviews with Don McLean I can tell that he and I are, to a large degree, cultural birds of a feather. I respect him and I understand what loss he was lamenting in American Pie. I have two older brothers who were about Don's age, and I got to understand the sock hop era through them. The other day I got a text message out of the blue from my now 28 year old daughter who said "GUESS WHAT SONG IS ON THE RADIO?!?!?!" Shared memories.... they're the best!

An American classic. Folks today don'y realize how tough the road of a popular musician was in the day. They had to perform night after night to sell records or get the local DJ's to play their rcord on WHOO.

I love America. I just can't stand a tax avoider. Obviously you are afraid of That. Mugs. Britain is the best place in the world to be.....Children cry in the street... Animals starve. Chained up.... The whole wide world knows... They don't want hurt. Mugs..

You do not need a lot of hits. You just need that one Mega Iconic Hit that lasts forever and is instantly recognizable...

I’m a boomer and this song is without a doubt one of the best songs ever written if not the best of our generation. It always brings back a memory from being 15 years old when this song was new and playing on the radio. My family and others were on a camping trip and only one of us boys were old enough to have a drivers license and so him and us other two were boys were asked to drive back into town for additional supplies (Times have changed) As we were cruising at what I remember to be about the legal speed limit American pie came on the radio and that’s when it happened. The three of us started singing along to the song at the top of our lungs when the driver realized he had been pushing down on the accelerator the whole time as we were singing and realized we were then cruising along at about 95 mph on a two lane country highway marked at 55 mph! Fortunately nothing bad happened as we slowed down and continued on but I still have that exhilarating memory of my youth, ah to be young again.

Greatest song ever written in my eyes. When people discover what every single word means in this song, there is absolutely no denying it is the greatest song ever written.

Is there somewhere I can learn that. I guess the reason this song hits the heart of so many of you americans is because those words reflects your history or something like that. Would be fun to understand the meaning. As a Swedish person I just love the song because it sounds great to me 😁
