เอาตัวอย่างมาให้อ่านกันเล็กๆ น้อยๆ นะครับ
Verse 1
A long, long time ago...
American Pie was written in 1971 and the time McLean is going to talk about is the 1950's. This seems
like a long time ago 'cause of all the turmoil that occurred in the 60's.
I can still remember how that music used to make me smile.
McLean's favorite music was that of the 50's.
And I knew if I had my chance, that I could make those people dance, and maybe they'd be happy for a while.
In the 50's, the major purpose of music was for dancing (sock hops). He wanted to play rock & roll so people could have a good time.
But February made me shiver
Buddy Holly died on February 3, 1959 in a plane crash in Iowa. He was McLean's hero.
With every paper I'd deliver
Donny boy's only other job besides songwriting was a paper boy.
Bad news on the doorstep, I couldn't take one more step
This story was obviously on the frickn' front page and made McLean freeze in his tracks.
I can't remember if I cried
He can't remember if he cried.
When I read about his widowed bride
Holly's wife was pregnant when the accident occurred and soon after had a miscarriage.
But something touched me deep inside
I don't even wanna know!
The day the music died.
The crash took the lives of three current rock legends: Holly, Richie Valens and the Big Bopper, so now Feb. 3, 1959 is called "The day the music died." The music that died is considered the standard rock & roll songs. The crash was the final blow (?--keyword) to this music 'cause these three were that only major artists left. Elvis was drafted, Little Richard (or "Little Dick") turned gospel, and Chuck Berry was arrested for screwin' a prostitute.
