Favourite Lyrics - American Pie

By Don Mclean

I can't remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride,
But something touched me deep inside
The day the music died.


This is a lovely piece of writing. Don Mclean is an inspirational artist and whatever he writes is from the heart.

Don McLean wrote this song in dedication to the great musical artists Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper who died in a plane crash. To Don McLean, that was the day the music died!

To me this is a great song because it comes from the heart and it shows that you shouldn't let anything get you down. You can always write a poem or song to record your feelings.
