All you gotta do is think of the song in your head. And it doesn’t matter whether you can play it or not, you can get somebody to play it. With songs I’ve written, there’s a song called “The Statue”, which I can’t play. There are songs that I’ve written that I’ve actually just hummed on – there’s a song on one of the albums they have there on the Internet called “My Love Was True” and it’s almost operatic. I can’t play it. But I can sing it.

As you can imagine, over the years I have been asked many times to discuss and explain my song “American Pie.” I have never discussed the lyrics, but have admitted to the Holly reference in the opening stanzas. You will find many interpretations of my lyrics but none of them by me. You will find many “interpretations” of my lyrics but none of them by me. Isn’t this fun? Sorry to leave you all on your own like this but long ago I realized that songwriters should make their statements and move on, maintaining a dignified silence.

As you sell your soul and sow your seeds, and you wound yourself and your loved ones bleed. And your habits grow and your conscience feeds, on all that you thought you should be.
