Uma ou outra música ou canção ou tune ou apenas imagem sonora marcam de modo eterno uma época.
American Pie de Don Maclean é e será sempre uma daquelas melodias que trarão de volta um tempo e um século que já passaram.
Façamos um passeio pela America de American Pie ao som da sua letra e com a imagem que aqui me traz...
Se puderem ouçam a música outra vez antes ou durante, ou depois, ou ... sei lá eu ... sempre?
A long, long time ago
I remember how the music used to make me smile
http://www.magnumphotos.com/LowRes/par/TR3/WEA/7G6KF60/PAR113446.jpg
And I knew if I had my chance
that I could make those people dance
and maybe they'd be happy for awhile
http://www.magnumphotos.com/LowRes/nyc/TR3/FUP/WLOP5MI/NYC17718.jpg
But February made me shiver
with every paper I'd deliver
bad news on the doorstep
I couldn't take one more step
And 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
http://www.magnumphotos.com/LowRes/nyc/TR3/GIB/FY2KOJX/NYC27778.jpg
So Bye, Bye, Miss American Pie,
Drove My chevy to the levy, but the levy was dry.
Them good ole boys are drinking whiskey and rye,
singing This'll be the day that I die
http://www.magnumphotos.com/LowRes/nyc/TR3/DAB/QVXAO82/NYC6148.jpg
Did you write the book of love,
and do you have faith in God above,
Because the Bible tells you so?
And do you believe in Rock and Roll,
can music save your mortal soul?
http://www.magnumphotos.com/LowRes/par/TR3/FRL/XDB7IH5/PAR111994.jpg
And can you teach me how to dance real slow?
And I know that you're in love with him,
'cause I saw you dancing in the gym,
you both kicked off you shoes
and I dig those rhythm and blues.

I was a lonely teenaged broncin' buck
with a pink carnation and a pick-up truck
but I knew that I was out of luck
the day the music died
http://www.magnumphotos.com/LowRes/par/TR3/DER/LFPHI7U/PAR10223.jpg
I started singing, Bye, Bye, Miss American Pie,
Drove My chevy to the levy, but the levy was dry.
Them good ole boys are drinking whiskey and rye,
singing This'll be the day that I die.
http://www.magnumphotos.com/LowRes/par/TR3/KAR/R3YQ6NN/PAR92918.jpg
For 10 years we were on our own
and moss grows fat on a rolling stone
but that's not how it used to be
The jester danced for the king and queen
in a coat he borrowed from James Dean
http://www.magnumphotos.com/LowRes/par/TR3/ECN/VG414Y5/PAR219629.jpg
and a voice that came from you and me
And as the king was looking down
the jester stole his thorny crown
the court room was adjourned
no verdict was returned
as Lenin(*) read a book on Marx
the quartet practiced in the park
and we sang dirges in the dark
the day the music died
http://www.magnumphotos.com/LowRes/nyc/TR3/ERE/6V7O7F8/NYC16364.jpg
And we were singing, Bye, Bye, Miss American Pie,
Drove My chevy to the levy, but the levy was dry.
Them good ole boys are drinking whiskey and rye,
singing This'll be the day that I die.

Helter skelter in the summer swelter
Birds flew off with the fallout shelter
8 miles high and falling fast
and it fell on the grass
the players tried for a forward pass
with the Jester on the sidelines in a cast
http://www.magnumphotos.com/LowRes/nyc/TR3/RIE/YE1JW54/NYC28832.jpg
the half-time air was sweet perfume
the sergeants played a marching tune
and we all got up to dance
but we never got the chance
The players tried to take the field
the marching band refused to yield
do you recall what was revealed
the day the music died?
http://www.magnumphotos.com/LowRes/nyc/TR3/DAB/KNEIAYF/NYC15096.jpg
And we were all in one place
a generation lost in space
with no time left to start again
http://www.magnumphotos.com/LowRes/nyc/TR3/GLB/VG7W962/NYC26174.jpg
Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
Jack Flash sat on a candle stick
Cause the fire is the devil's only friend
And as I watched him on the stage
My hands were clenched in fists of rage
No angel born in hell
could break that Satan's spell
And as the flames climbed high into the night
to light the sacrificial rite
I saw Satan laughing with delight
The day the music died
http://www.magnumphotos.com/LowRes/nyc/TR3/FRL/JMWXBNO/NYC28061.jpg
I met a girl who sang the blues
and I asked her for some happy news
she just smiled and turned away
I went down to the sacred store
where I heard the music years before
but the Man there said the music wouldn't play
http://www.magnumphotos.com/LowRes/par/TR3/STD/1MIORG8/PAR43835.jpg
And in the streets the children screamed,
the lovers cried and the poets dreamed
But not a word was spoken
the Church bells all were broken.
And the three men I admire most
the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost
they caught the last train for the coast
the day the music died.
http://www.magnumphotos.com/LowRes/par/TR3/KAR/0YWY522/PAR239820.jpg
And we were singing, Bye, Bye, Miss American Pie,
Drove My chevy to the levy, but the levy was dry.
Them good ole boys are drinking whiskey and rye,
singing This'll be the day that I die.
