I read that Don McLean asked Home Free to do it for the 50th anniversary. In his opinion, nobody understands harmonies more than these guys and he wanted an up tempo. The rest is magnificent.

[@WolfsbaneHollow]

These are the original lyrics, and each one has hidden meaning. The story of a generation from the time of the plane crash in 1959 that killed Rock and Roll legends Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and the Big Bopper... through to the time of the release of this song which was in October of 71. There are references to the crash (The Day the Music Died), references to other rock legends Bob Dylan (the joker), The Beatles (The sergeants aka Sgt Pepper) , John Lennon and the Beatles going political "Lennon reading Marx" , The Byrds and their song "8 Miles High", The Moon Landing, Manson's cult killing aka Helter Skelter, Mick Jagger and his concert where he had Hells Angels as security and it got out of hand, the death of Janis Joplin (the girl who sang the blues), even JFK assassination...all in the lyrics if you know where to look. So yes, the photos are nostalgia of the era.

[@joanwharff6483]

It’s actually in the top 5 songs on history. DON wrote & sang it...for 75 he’s Till go it !!! What a guy 💥💖🙃‼️. Love this song...memories 💖🙃‼️

[@anne-mariegoyette4240]

Don also wrote Starry, starry Night which was a tribute to Vincent Van Gogh the artist and the painting of the same name

[@WolfsbaneHollow]

Vincent...my favorite song of all time. Don Mclean has a way of painting a picture in your mind with words

[@willspidey6460]

It's the longest song to ever reach #1

[@jimlashbrook5429]

Keep in mind this was written in 1971. Viet Nam was still going on as well as other things that happened at that time. That is what those pictures in the background are depicting. Everything represents an event at that time.

[@garywinters4636]

This is the 50 year anniversary of this song, and this version with Home Free is brand new.

[@cassandragedraitis8734]

The impetus for coming together to do this was the 50 year anniversary of this historic song being released. They tacked on the philanthropy because that's what these awesome guys do 😊

[@bernadette3069]

50th anniversary of American Pie. Plus yesterday was the 62nd anniversary since Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, Big Bopper died in plane crash. Yes Adam has. In How Great Thou Art he does. Adam was slaying with the beatboxing and drums in this one. They all got their moment to shine:)

[@bernadette3069]

And Patsy Cline's Anniversary of her crash is coming up as well :(

[@MommaBird52]

A little more trivia -- Dion DiMucci of Dion and the Belmonts and Waylon Jennings were both slated to be on the ill-fated flight. For different reasons they both elected not to go. For years Waylon thought the crash was caused by him. The last thing Buddy said was I hope your bus freezes to which Waylon replied oh yeah? I hope your plane crashes. Minutes later, it did! The crash was determined to be caused by inexperience from the 21 year old pilot, flying in heavy snow storm. This was released on the 62nd anniversary of the day the music died and the 50th anniversary of Don McLean's release of American Pie.

[@quiltie1774]

All the lyrics have historical significance. You can google the meaning behind them all.

[@mikolaimooronomous3893]

yeah this easily one of the most well written songs in history

[@loisgrohmann9091]

Adam Rupp doesn't have a vocal solo, but he carries the beat all the way through which is phenomenal - 8 + minutes of beatboxing. He does join in singing when drum sounds are not required. I always consider Adam to be the heartbeat of the group. He holds down the groove.

[@loisgrohmann9091]

Adam does have a short solo in How Great Thou Art

[@babyfry4775]

Good reaction. Home Free has another home run. McLean sounds good especially for 75! The harmonies by the boys is so good.

[@StudeSteve62]

That line about the Trinity is haunting. Refers, I think, to McLean's loss of faith on The Day The Music Died and afterward...

[@miamidolphinsfan]

Fabian, come on...there was no such thing as "Music videos" in 1971....MTV didn't even start until 1982. This is without a doubt their best effort ever...those harmonies at the end

DON MCLEAN WROTE THIS SONG AND SAN ALL OF THE ORIGINAL VERSES. HE ALSO, WROTE "AND, I LOVE YOU SO" , THE BEAUTIFUL LOVE SONG THAT ELVIS SANG. HE WROTE STARRY, STARRY NIGHT, ALSO. THIS SONG IS ABOUT THE PLANE CRASH THAT KILLED BUDDY HOLLY, THE BIG BOPPER, AND RICHIE VALENZ. THIS SONG IS 50 YEARS OLD!

[@billsanderson1442]

It's a lot of fun to watch all you young guys discovering these songs from my high school years. And finding out about good new stuff from y'all.

[@willspidey6460]

American rock and roll musicians Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and "The Big Bopper" J. P. Richardson were killed in a plane crash near Clear Lake, Iowa, together with pilot Roger Peterson.The verse..The day the music died refers to that plane crash.The released the song on the 62nd anniversary of that plane crash and the 50th. anniversary of its release.

[@FortWorthFabian]

o wow thanks for the additional insight Will

[@willspidey6460]

@@FortWorthFabian Waylon Jennings was to fly with Buddy, but exchanged his seat with J.P. Richardson . Tommy Allsup was included in the group, but Ritchie Valens offered to flip him for the seat since he was ill.

[@marlahudgins7038]

Wasn't it the `12th anniversary?

[@willspidey6460]

@@marlahudgins7038 I'm referring to the this video,not the original song.

[@WolfsbaneHollow]

@@marlahudgins7038 The original song has been out 50 yrs this year though it was released in Oct of 1971. The main stanza stems from the crash/Day the Music Died. That crash was on Feb 3, 1959...so they released this on the 62nd anniversary of the crash, so yes, when Don originally released this song, it had been 12 yrs since the crash that killed Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper, but he didn't release the original on the anniversary day. At the time of the actual crash, its said that Don was a 13yr old paperboy, so he ACTUALLY did put the bad news on the doorsteps. As for Waylon Jennings. I believe he carried the guilt of that day all his life, since he was joking with Buddy Holly about having to take the bus Holly jokingly told him he hoped the bus broke down, to which Jennings replied, “I hope your ol' plane crashes.” Last words can mess you up.

[@jimmytakayesu2987]

This Song debuted 50 years ago. Don McClean was a singer/ songwriter but is recognized as as an iconic songwriter. He still performs but in his Mid-70s has lost a lot of ability to hit the High Notes. It’s Great that was able to do this Collaboration before passing. This is considered his best Songwriting Achievement.

[@colinmerritt7645]

I taught myself this song in high school, c. 1986. It's been with me ever since. I've always loved the imagery it evokes. McLean was a great storyteller who also wrote a song about vanGogh and one about a Marine facing death in Vietnam that have stayed with me.

[@irisschell5557]

50 yr anniversary of the most amazing song he ever wrote. I cried the entire song...I remember the day Feb 3..1959 when my fav artists were killed ..The Day the Music Died !!

[@WolfsbaneHollow]

I cry every time, so many images of a generation

[@timmcmahon2658]

I was in Jr. High when this song came out,. it was EXTREMELY popular at the time,.

[@patriciawoyczik1657]

Maybe Adam Rupp didn't "sing" a verse...but he sure had his own part in this...he kept that beat going for over 8 min.! This video is perfection at its finest!

[@marterisher2335]

American Pie is one of the most iconic songs that came from the 1970s. McLean tells the story of America ... who and where we were at that time ... and why the “music” died with the loss of Buddy Holly. That day was also the day the culture shifted away from Miss American Pie, never to return again. For all its upbeat rhythm ... this song is a real heartbreaker. And I salute you for getting it.

[@joanwharff6483]

This IS the Original ! 50 years old yesterday💖🙃‼️🙃💖. The videos are are stuff of that time

[@corinnezimmerman-blood2560]

It is the 50th anniversary of the song is why they picked it. Adam Rupp does take lead once in awhile but very rarely.

[@johnchestnut5340]

This song made history. This song was about history. Cold War, rock'n'roll, civil rights movement, space race...it was all going on. The collaboration was with the original artist.

[@Prozak63]

Definitely the origional. Don McLean was my saving grace back in 1972 when my pops made me go to a concert in Rochester, NY because my sister wanted to go see an Osmond concert when Donny had the hit "Puppy Love". I didn't want to go but had no choice... Thankfully for me Don McLean was the opening act.

[@michaelbass1023]

Adam Rupp has a nice tenor voice, but he never takes lead, he is the beat boxer on all of thier videos.

[@grandmaterilee]

Very nice reaction. Home Free did release a video on the making of this Don McLean collaboration. This was one of those songs that for years people tried to figure out the meanings to the various phrases. Don was forever asked what was American Pie about? I was just a kid when the plane crashed but a young adult when McLean released the song. Nice to find out what a fan you are of Home Free. Good job.

[@georgemegaw2925]

There’s a live video (from a concert) with Don McLean singing from back in the day … this is both classic and historic…. I was a HS Sophomore when it released. This HF re-release was honoring the 50th anniversary of the song - and I think the 69th anniversary of the airplane crash that was the inspiration. The era was Viet Nam….tie die and bell bottom jeans.

[@pennygarrity386]

Binge watching your HF playlist (again). I didn't look at all the comments but I didn't see where anyone answered your question. So far, while he's sung harmony and had small solos in some songs no, Adam has never taken the lead and it's a shame because as proven in How Great Thou Art he has a naturally beautiful tenor voice. His brother Chris says it's because unlike the rest of them Adam has never been vocally trained. I would love to know what his range is since he drops the bass in his beatbox solo and does a note in Listen to the Music so high most people thought it was Austin. I keep hoping they'll do a song where there's no beatboxing and convince Adam to take at least part of the lead.

This is the full original lyric from 1971, yes. There is at least one live video of McLean performing his solo version, but in 1971 there were no music videos, that's a 1980s notion, live videos and TV stuff were the closest thing prior. Incidentally a much shorter edit of "American Pie" was recorded by Madonna Ciccone in the 90s. Don't listen to that one. 😁

I'll give it to ya in a nut shell if you'd just let the song play more and you talk and stop the video less. he is taking you from the fifties into the sixties and seventies . Rock and roll started in the fifties with singers such as elvis presley , the big bopper , bill haley and the comets , little richard , Lloyd price , chuck berry the and many more , then into the late fifties with Sam cooke , then into the sixties with the beatles, beach boys , aretha franklin , marvin gaye , ccr , jimi hendrix , janis joplin , and so many more and the vietnam war when rock and roll was loosing its innocents , begin to loose its fun because of the sadness of the war.... into the 70's with the likes of jim croce , emerson lake and palmer , pink ffloyd , cat stevens , sly and the family stone ,gladys knight and the pips , marvin gaye and the jackson five ... then later Michael jackson and so forth.
