American Pie

Don McLean released this epochal song in 1971 with the album "American Pie". Mention of mass culture is full. Jim Fann has created a complete website to explore the song "Understanding American Pie".

After the crash where Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and The Big Bopper died in 1959, this song solved the evolution of rock music in the 1960's. McLean investigated many of the major events of the 1960s, such as lunar landing, the rise and collapse of Dylan, the governance of the Beatles, the death of Janis Joplin,

Although his huge songs are known for their deep, almost inexplicable lyrics, for many years the meaning of McLean has yet to be attributed to the speculation of others, and he feels unnecessary to explain it myself It is. An interviewer asked what the song means, "This means that I do not have to work anymore", McLean said.

When the original manuscript and bank notes were sold at the auction for $ 1.2 million, McLean first revealed his intentions in lyrics in 2015.

Lyrics may no longer be strange, but McLean's repertoire will always be seen in the past as a poetic expression of rock and roll.

The first section of "American School" starts with lyric poetry "Long ago, I still remember that music made me smile / How" "American pie" It is a long period. Time is ten years of McLean's favorite music. The music style of the 1950s became an inspiration for him to become a singer-songwriter.
