Don Mclean Quotes
• American Pie speaks to the loss that we feel. That's why that song has found the niche that it has.
• I met a girl who sang the blues, And I asked her for some happy news; But she just smiled and turned away.
• In a sense, 'American Pie' was a very despairing song but it can also be seen as very hopeful.
• This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.
• People ask me if I left the lyrics open to ambiguity. Of course I did. I wanted to make a whole series of complex statements. The lyrics had to do with the state of society at the time.
• You've already decided the process.
• So when people ask me what American Pie means, I tell them it means I don't ever have to work again if I don't want to.
• The process got abused, ... So what do you do about it? Do you become cynical and turn your back on it, or do you do something about it?
• 'American Pie' was part of my process of self-awakening; a mystical trip into my past.
• I still absolutely love it. I'm still having a ball. I still have the same feeling I had the first week.
