Don McLean - American Pie Remastered HQ Audio

[@MaleeHolland]

My father sang this to me while he was driving us around in his car when it was on the radio. I was very small, and in the front seat at the time. Different times. My father passed away, yesterday. Miss you, Daddy. Rest well.

[@srunequester66]

My condolences, however belatedly

[@AnwarTheUddiin]

I'm so sorry. I know I'm ultra late but nobody deserves that kind of loss. it's profound. I hope you and your family are well. God bless. Take care of yourself and yours.

I feel like 90% of today's music is full of bad words... drugs... s*x.... and then we have these old wise songs that make u feel melancholic and happy at the same time ❤

[@soenbinder4358]

How is it, that old songs like that outclass all of todays music. Man, they're really feelin it back then..

[@therealchris5894]

Idk, we're going back a bit. I've noticed that since last year the music has been improving

[@ssjthizzle]

[@michaelmccreery8192]

Always got memories lol

[@WhatsGahd]

we sang this in choir class in 2002 as a middle schooler it combined with brown eyed girl before brought a lot of the parents / audience to tears. It was just a normal song for me back then living in the rust belt and rock is just hardcoaded into your brain.

[@Cinemaphile7783]

This hiss reminds me of listening to this on a cassette in my walkman. 😊

[@PieFaceGuy9000]

I love how a song about Impermanence in music outclasses/Outlives other songs with the same message.

[@Eric-mx7hj]

That what I was just thinking

[@adrianpocobene3922]

Masterpiece Theatre. This is music. 😀

[@ComingSoonerThanYouThink]

I can still remember how this music used to make me smile...... and i'm still smiling

[@antrygis1]

This was HUGE. They played the whole song after a little while. Aqualung. Stairway to Heaven. Rock was mixed in with more folk tinged tunes. Rocks history was very short back then...wasn't too hard to figure out what he was singing about. "And a voice that came from you and me..." and things got more and more splintered. Unity was gone and time marched on. But still.....there were no drug epidemics, etc. Great times. Classic song. Vincent too.

[@paulmeshach4202]

Una canción Icónica, y Única, desde EUROPA, MI MÁS PROFUNDA ADMIRACIÓN

[@geraldpatterson3903]

Something all "artists" today should pay attention to...HAVE REAL LYRICS!

[@brichardsfourty]

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 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 And them good ol' boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye Singin', "This'll be the day that I die This'll 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? Now, 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 dancin' in the gym You both kicked off your shoes Man, I dig those rhythm and blues I was a lonely teenage bronckin' buck With a pink carnation and a pickup truck But I knew I was out of luck The day the music died I started singin', bye-bye, Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry Them good ol' boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye Singin', "This'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die" Now, for ten years we've been on our own And moss grows fat on a rollin' 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 on Marx A quartet practiced in the park And we sang dirges in the dark The day the music died We were singin', bye-bye, Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry Them good ol' boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye Singin', "This'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die" Helter skelter in a 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 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 singin', bye-bye, Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry Them good ol' boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye Singin', "This'll be the day that I die This'll 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 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 singin', bye-bye, Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry Them good ol' boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye Singin', "This'll be the day that I die This'll 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 singin', bye-bye, Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry And them good ol' boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye Singin', "This'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die" They were singin', bye-bye, Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry Them good ol' boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye Singin', "This'll be the day that I die"

[@AudiophileTubes]

I'm tearing up, singing and remembering this epic song!

[@VoluntaristJAM]

The perfect song for today....(1/20/21)

[@VoluntaristJAM]

@Dylan Dess Biden's inauguration....

[@durzoblint3600]

I'm here on 03/08/22 and I still agree

[@wishstar6268]

Shit like this and people like you are the reason this song was made. Fuck off.

[@togetvj]

Great sound. Thanks for uploading. :)

[@MelbourneMaster]

Remastered but the infamous screeching/ beeping/ fire alarm sound is still in the background. I swear Im about to buy a program to remove it myself. Its on every single version on youtube

[@salvadorquiauhtlazollin6625]

"And while Lennon (Lenin?) read a book of Marx".....The right lyric is LENIN, as in comes in the record.

[@josealdana7119]

Yes, it would make sense, since Vladimir Lenin is one of the big political figures in Russia. The lineage goes basically from Karl Marx (who isn't even Russian, by the way, he is German), to Vladimir Lenin & then to Joseph Stalin. Marx is where we get the term 'Marxism', from.

[@marcsymons3340]

they days where music was about telling a story and actually contained lyrics.

[@enviedshark6635]

Marc Symons - Another one of these guys.

[@TassieLorenzo]

It still does, just not the rubbish on commercial radio stations targeted at teenagers (that stuff is the *worst*).

[@arafluko3487]

Nothing like hating everything new to make you feel superior

[@CityWokChicken]

@@arafluko3487 I don’t hate everything new, it’s just... most of it truly is shit. Rap for example was golden back in the 90s and early 2000’s however a lot of rappers now can’t make a song that doesn’t sound like a sea lion with its throat slit on auto tune. There still remains good rappers in the mix of the shitty ones, like X, juice, and probably some others that I’m not familiar with. However the two I mentioned are dead and YMW had murder on his mind and now he’s in prison so...

[@CityWokChicken]

@@arafluko3487 can’t say I’m a fan of some of these rappers who have garage band beats and can’t go a verse with saying UH UH UH UH, shits the product of putting a recording studio in a special ed. Class room. See rap used to be about the struggles of people’s lives and occasionally there was some fun shit, but some of these rappers today became rappers to be rich. It’s an easy to dominate field of work nowadays because the shit people listen to is ...well shit. So no it’s not about superiority it’s about liking good from the heart music that tells a good story and has good instrumental elements.

[@kourkourator142]

17 people are deaf. their loss. the rhythm section really shines in this.

[@jrmusm]

It’s not bad, is it?
