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 ❤️

Nice! Similar story here. 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.

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.

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.

This song hits you right in the Soul

[@eliababebayehu2894]

Lyrics A long long time ago, I can still remember How that music used to make me smile And I knew if I had my chance That I could make those people dance And maybe they'd be happy for a while But February made me shiver With every paper I'd deliver Bad news on the doorstep I couldn't take one more step I can't remember if I cried When I read about his widowed bride But something touched me deep inside The day the music died So bye-bye, Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee But the levee was dry Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye Singing, "This'll be the day that I die" This will be the day that I die Did you write the Book of Love? And do you have faith in God above? If the Bible tells you so Do you believe in rock 'n' roll? Can music save your mortal soul? And can you teach me how to dance real slow? Well I know that you're in love with him 'Cause I saw you dancing in the gym You both kicked off your shoes Then I dig those rhythm and blues I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck With a pink carnation and a pickup truck But I knew I was out of luck The day the music died I started singing bye-bye, Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee But the levee was dry Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye Singing, "This'll be the day that I die" This will be the day that I die Now for ten years we've been on our own And moss grows fat on a rolling stone But that's not how it used to be When the jester sang for the King and Queen In a coat he borrowed from James Dean And a voice that came from you and me Oh and while the King was looking down The jester stole his thorny crown The courtroom was adjourned No verdict was returned And while Lenin read a book of Marx The Quartet practiced in the park And we sang dirges in the dark The day the music died We were singing, bye-bye Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee But the levee was dry Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye Singing, "This'll be the day that I die" This will be the day that I die Helter skelter in the summer swelter The birds flew off with a fallout shelter Eight miles high and falling fast It landed foul on the grass, the players tried for a forward pass With the jester on the sidelines in a cast Now the halftime air was sweet perfume While the sergeants played a marching tune We all got up to dance Oh, but we never got the chance 'Cause the players tried to take the field The marching band refused to yield Do you recall what was revealed The day the music died? We started singing bye-bye, Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye And singing, "This'll be the day that I die" This will be the day that I die Oh, and there we were all in one place A generation lost in space With no time left to start again So come on, Jack be nimble, Jack be quick Jack Flash sat on a candlestick 'Cause fire is the devil's only friend Oh, and as I watched him on the stage My hands were clenched in fists of rage No angel born in Hell Could break that Satan's spell And as the flames climbed high into the night To light the sacrificial rite I saw Satan laughing with delight The day the music died He was singing bye-bye, Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye And singing, "This'll be the day that I die" This will be the day that I die I met a girl who sang the blues And I asked her for some happy news But she just smiled and turned away I went down to the sacred store Where I'd heard the music years before But the man there said the music wouldn't play And in the streets, the children screamed The lovers cried and the poets dreamed But not a word was spoken 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 The day the music died And they were singing bye-bye, Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry And them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye Singing, "This'll be the day that I die" This will be the day that I die They were singing bye-bye, Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye Singing, "This'll be the day that I die"

[@sardu55]

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.

If anyone sees this.. I just wanna say how much you meant to me. You came into my life when I needed a brother, someone who is very funny but we know what’s behind it. 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. R.I.P Mr.Perry Chandler Bing.

[@notbubblystarters05]

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.
