American Pie is a classic American song that will remain an American favorite throughout history. It was released in 1972 in honor of Buddy Holly and the plane crash that took his life along with several other people including Richie Valens and the Big Bopper. The song is all about this plane crash and the affect that it had on the American people.
I love this song because it is part of the American experience. If you are American and you love music that tells a story, you will love this
song as much as I do. It turned into a great sing along song that still goes strong today. I have this song in my collection of greats and it will remain there until the day that I die. The music is fast paced one moment and slow as can be the next. It has an upbeat rhythm yet it has a sad undertone to it. If you know what the song is all about and what each word in the lyrics means, you will certainly be touched by it’s message.
