    This song is in memory of Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valens who died tragically in a plane crash. Holly was only married to this bride for six months before the crash and his wife suffered a miscarriage when she heard the news reports. A heart wrenching song when your understand the impact.

    Mateo and Rufus's story changed me, even though they're fictional, they made me realize that life isn't about waiting for the right chances and moments. Life is supposed to be enjoyed, not planned, not waited. Live your day, like it's the last.

      I know it from They Both Die at The End. This book killed me its so tragic, but I loved every single second, and it teached me an invaluable lesson. Live life, take risks, enjoy it while it lasts. Make friends, get yourself a partner, go travelling, have a family if wanted, get a house or new apartment. Live every day to the fullest, because we all die in the end.

    I knew this song existed and I liked it, but it never had an importance in my life until a few months ago. I was with all of my closest friends and we were on a lake, all spread out. Some of us were in the middle of the water on paddle boards, others were floating, or sitting on the dock. Nobody was really talking, we were just appreciating each other’s presence. But then all of a sudden this song comes on. We all look to each other and start screaming it together. We didn’t even have to say anything we all knew the lyrics. We sat there for 8 minutes singing/ screaming with each other. Even though we were far away. At the time it was just all fun but looking back, it was such an important moment in my life. Thank you for this song ❤️

Out late at the bar one evening was nearing closing time the bartender who was also a good friend of mine tells me there is a few credits left on the jukebox choose something amazing to play to wrap things up. In the moment I knew that I had to play this one and it was like magic how everyone in the bar came together old and young singing along. That was like 10 years ago and a night I'll never forget.

I dont have much good memories with my father since he was always out doing his job as a politician. But this memories will be forever with me. I can still remember how happy i was watching him and my mom dancing to this song. and as im growing up, this song. it gives me comfort and a little bit sting in my heart knowing that even after 14yrs, I cant still believe he is no longer with us. i have a lot of regrets. im sorry :(

      This is a song about Buddy Holly and the day he died in Feb 1959 called " the day the music died" , the widow bride is his wife Maria Elena, when she found out about the accident she had a miscarriage ( they were married 6 months).... " this'll be the day that I die" is also a clearly reference to Buddy's song "That'll be the day" .... he had a 18 month career. In that time he created a body of work that changed popular music forever and influenced almost every great rock and roll artist to follow him.
      Elton John had perfectly fine eyesight as a child. He started wearing glasses to imitate Buddy Holly. They became his signature look.
      The Beatles named their band after buddies band The Crickets. He was Lennon and McCarty's hero and they never got tired to repeat it
      The Hollies named their band after Buddy.
      The Rolling Stones first commercial hit was a Buddy Holly song.
      Bob Dylan imitated his singing style.

    I'm 67. I was 18 when this classic hit the airwaves. Young people today think they know what music is. American Pie is STILL A CLASSIC!
    Well now I'm 68. I recall many years ago about an article of a proposed TV series that never took root. Too bad. The series was about a jukebox that was a time machine. The concept was that when one played a song, the jukebox took you to that time and location when one first heard it. Such as the time in the fall of 1970 coming back late at night from a high school football game in the Charleston, SC area. I was sitting in the back of a buddy's car as he drove home. The radio was on and I heard for the first time James Taylor's "Fire and Rain". I bet other people can recall similar experiences.

You taught me that even us can find that One. The jokes, the humor, the sass, the smart Ass, the outsider, hurt one. I will always find comfort when I can watch you over and over forever knowing you will always be there for me. One day I hope I can make an impact on someone’s life how you did to mine. Love ya brotha, see you soon.. well not too soon, I gotta find my smart Ass replacement first.

      I know a way to make it even more depressing the day the music died was an event in the 1960s. It was when 3 of the most rock and pop cultured people died in a plane crash. The part of the song where it says “Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye” is based of how they were in the tour bus on a freezing day and the bus got froze so it broke down and they gathered together to take a few shots of alcohol.

    I heard this when I was very young on one random day when I still thought it was truly possible for me to list every song I like in one book and this was one of the titles I wrote in it that stood out to me. I loved it ever since. Because I found the lyrics to be very fun with it's use of imagery. I took the message of it as a love song for joy in hardship and music in life well lived as a child. So even now at College, I still look fondly at the hours I spent playing this song in loop.

    This is the great American ballad. McLean hits one out of the park with his song. It's sort of a Forest Gump of music, crossing all kinds of paths of cultural significance. He lets us know, in American vernacular (foreign people have always had a hard time figuring out what the song really means), what went down when popular music was, suddenly, changed for all time. The old world of music hits the new world. The friction of conflict and transition. 'The marching band refused to yield' could apply to more than music, but it represents change. 'Jack be nimble' calls out to our people to respond to the change, as Americans we can't let this happen. But we did. This is a great piece of music.
