They don't keep their promises in the promised land, its getting mighty hard to find an honest man.
Don McLeanIn a sense, 'American Pie' was a very despairing song but it can also be seen as very hopeful.
Don McLeanI like to bring my audience on a journey during my 90 minute concert. I will tell stories every few songs about the creation of a tune etc. and it gives the listener a glimpse inside my songs and then as you get to the last half hour you pick up the pace and work harder and get more into the show. It's all about stagecraft.
