American Pie is an epic song, the classicest of classic rock, an iconic tune from my generation, a defining ditty dominating the 1970s airwaves despite being considered too lengthy for radio. It was populated with enough imagery to fill multiple poems, none of which would be as impactful as the same lyrics set to engaging music. It encapsulates both the spirit and anxiety rippling through the American Youth following the tumultuous 1960s. It is still one of my all-time favorites, earning it a rare place on my End of Days playlist, to be played in full at any memorial service held to mark my passing. Before that, it will be the soundtrack on repeat wafting o'er my speakers while the space between my breaths lengthens and I exhale my immortal soul where it will disperse for reuse into the universe or to float disconnected for eternity.
