american pie

so basically, this is one of those songs that just gets to me. it kind of explains how i feel about music, like in this line:"A long long time agoI can still rememberHow that music used to make me smileAnd I knew if I had my chanceThat I could make those people danceAnd maybe they'd be happy for a while"a few more of my favorite lines... i can't really explain the way this song makes me feel. how can you even imagine a world without music?"Now do you believe in rock and roll?Can music save your mortal soul?And can you teach me how to dance real slow?""I met a girl who sang the bluesAnd I asked her for some happy newsBut she just smiled and turned awayI went down to the sacred storeWhere I'd heard the music years beforeBut the man there said the music wouldn't playAnd in the streets the children screamedThe lovers cried, and the poets dreamedBut not a word was spokenThe church bells all were brokenAnd the three men I admire mostThe Father, Son, and the Holy GhostThey caught the last train for the coastThe day the music died"if anyone wants a deep analysis of the lyrics to this song visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Pie
