Episode 51 - ‘American Pie’ (Song) - Don McLean (1971)
‘The Day The Music Thrived’
From the album of the same name, Don McLean released ‘American Pie’ - a song about the loss of culture, American values and innocence across a 10 year period throughout America.
Concerning the death of a musician, the change in popular music style, the ever-changing political landscape of the USA and the Vietnam War, Don takes us on a rollercoaster of emotions and feelings through this 8 and a half minute epic that is, arguably, one of the most famous songs in Rock ‘N’ Roll history.
Laz & Felipe, in a special episode, focus solely on this song and analyse/breakdown the lyrics of each verse and what they could mean/represent.
