American Pie speaks to the loss that we feel. That's why that song has found the niche that it has.
Don McLean
In a sense, 'American Pie' was a very despairing song but it can also be seen as very hopeful.
Don McLean
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.
Don McLean
