Music and nostalgia
"Long long time ago, I can still remember,
how the music used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance, I can make those people dance
And maybe they'll be happy for a while...
... I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news, but she just smiled and turned away
And I went down to the sacred store where I heard the music years before
But the man there said the music wouldn't play.
And on the streets, the children screamed,
the lovers cried,
and the poets dreamt.
But not a word was spoken.
The church bells all were broken..."
-from the first and last stanza of Don Mclean's "American Pie"
There
I love this song but I listen to the Madonna's version.
Yup! I really like both versions, it kind of reminds me of sec 3/4 days when the Madonna song came out...
