      Coz Bob Dylan is the joker. And he cant sing. He can barely write good songs.especially as no songs really had been written in his new type of music. Think now today singers,writers have to sit for weeks to go through song names lol and words if it's been written before or the tune has been done u ain't making millions off it. That's not a conspiracy theory and look below to see other facts about post ww2 that changed humanity and is still going on today

      @@eirejmcmahon ya were going from buddy and the crickets to Bob Dylan and the Beatles. Plus I beleive it was a couple of years after the rockerfellas and rothschilds decided to tune to 440hz instead of 432hz disrupting the natural happy sound. Any musician who has spoke out or made a song against this since has been killed Tupac ,Bob Marley , Kurt Cobain Janis Joplin etc. U can tell when a song dosent just give u goosebumps but livens u up,changes your day completly. RUclips compress all files apparently so the Mozart in c major 432hz video on RUclips. Isn't 432hz get it? This is why most elite people listen to classical music or jazz. It's always been the case. This is part of a theory of a planned dumbin' down of sheeple. Why else would rockerf...etc change it. N who gives them permission. Oh there banks n Roth's n Morgan's own all the record labels or have s high stock share. Join the dots. American pie. Is actually a perfectly join the dots he was just too fwd for the time. He couldn't speek out about it and always said it was about buddy Holly if asked by family n Freind's Aparently as he was a paper boy when buddy crashed. I'm Guna look into why and when exactly the tunin chord was changed

      I heard this song towards the end of the film Finch a few days ago. I’ve never stopped playing it since. Something especially unexplainable about it struck me. The lyrics and melody are something else. The whole American Pie album is great too, Vincent is another favorite track.

    At a NYE party at 3am, me and my dad we’re sat at the bar, the only people left in the place as everyone else had gone out to smoke, no bartender, absolutely no one else. We were tired and sobering up. The room was dark and there was confetti, spilled drinks and empty bottles everywhere. The room went quiet as soon as everyone left, then this song started playing on the jukebox. We didn’t acknowledge the song or each other, we just sat side by side, stared ahead and started singing. We sat and sang the whole 8 minutes together, not once even looking at each other, just sitting still, staring at the empty bar. The second the song finished, everyone came hustling in, like clockwork, and the place was loud and busy again. It’s such a precious and surreal memory I have of me and my dad, one that I’ll never forget. It was a perfectly timed moment of peace.

  • @philipatoz
    @philipatoz 2 года назад +412

    If this song is about anything, it's a collection of reflections, feelings and metaphors about growing up in America - about longing, remembrance, idealized nostalgia, and a sense that there IS truth and things that truly matter - even though it's often confusing for us to accurately understand or process them - especially when we're still quite young. One reason this song doesn't bore us, despite being so lengthy, is because it so brilliantly paints so many powerful pictures and revives countless memories - especially from our youth. The lyrics have something for everyone, because they reference so many experiences common to us all. And the one thing I overwhelming feel, after listening to it all these many years, is a sense of a great passage of time. And the older one gets, the more this song powerfully incites that feeling - the sense that we were once so young, naive and hopeful, yet now, in what seems like the blink of an eye, we find ourselves long past those days of youth as we look back. And some things turned out wonderful, and others, not so much. And the song encourages these feelings from it's opening lyrics: "Long long time ago, I can still remember..."

    There’s no way anyone reads this, but that’s okay.
    When I was 13-17, I had a summer camp every year, and we always played this song on the last day, and even the people who never danced would join in. We’d kick off our shoes and everything. But anyways, when I was 17, I started crying at the end of the song. It was an amazing camp, I loved it, some of my best friends were there, I spent 3 weeks there, and that 15 week total were the best 15 weeks of my life. I always listen to this song to remind me of it. This was the first song of my wedding reception with none other than my best friend there.

    I remember back in the 80s me & my then wife were just a young couple, we didn't even have kids yet. It was a Saturday night & we returned to our apartment after dinner. Just as I was pulling into my parking space this song came on. We stayed in the car with the motor running singing along as loud as we could laughing at the parts where we didn't know the words. That was such a wonderful time in my life. We're friends now though we've been divorced for over 20 years now. I guess this song brings back wonderful memories for just about everybody. And though I've heard this song many times on the radio since that night. It's this memory that always comes flooding back. I hope you have happy memories too. God bless.

    I was only 7 when this music came out. I too was delivering newspapers.Buddy Holly died in 1957 and left a hole that inspired Don McLean to honor his memory. Felt the same nostalgia later : Jim Morrison 1971, Elvis Presley 1977, John Lennon 1980, Freddie Mercury 1991, Kurt Cobain 1994. On these sad days the music died, but love and life still go on.

    This song is unforgotten, but I realize only now, with the written lyrics at hand, what a masterpiece it is. I got here by those recently published words:
    ".......Just over fifty years ago, in 1971, a popular American singer called Don McLean, almost prophetically, sang of these torments, that is, of spiritual death, in a song called ‘American Pie’. Describing how America had lost its faith in the previous decade of the 1960s, he sang that ‘for ten years we’ve been on our own’ and how he saw ‘Satan laughing with delight’, and that ‘the church bells all were broken / And the three men I admire most / The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost / They caught the last train for the coast… / Singin’, this’ll be the day that I die’."

      Beautiful story, my dad also played this song on repeat in my early years, has such a special meaning now :)

    An eight minute song is something no one would get made today and its a shame, since this song is proof how good a long song can be.
