American Pie A

🎸 American Pie

Don McLean · 1971

Genre: Folk Rock

An eight-and-a-half-minute epic mourning "the day the music died"—the 1959 plane crash that killed Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and the Big Bopper—while tracing the loss of innocence in American culture through the turbulent 1960s. Dense with cryptic imagery that fans have been decoding for over fifty years. _{The runes align with the drum track of the song}
