The other day I mysteriously heard the song twice in two very different locations. Driving in the car with the top down was always a special way we shared the song together. My daughter and I share great memories listening to this song in our car, in our home, and on vacation. The code according to most critics has never been fully cracked.Īmerican Pie has always been one of my favorite songs.
There is no argument on that point.īut the song goes on and on offering the listener twists and turns and hidden messages. Most people familiar with the famous tune understand that the song’s powerful line, “The day the music died”, pertains to the day Buddy Holly died at 22 years of age in a plane crash.
