song lyrics
I feel a trembling tingle of a sleepless night
Creep through my fingers and the moon is bright
Beams of blue come flickering through my windowpane
Like Gypsy moths that dance around a candle flame
empty chairs
Day the music died
personification
how old is don mclean
79
what figurative language uses like or as
simile
Storm clouds full of thunder Move silent as a drum
till towmorrow
Painting passion
alliteration
when did don mclean start singing
16
Brushstroke is flame
Vincent
The birds flew off with a fallout shelter Eight miles high and fallin' lightning fast
hyperbole
how much money per year did he get after he composeing American pie
300,000$
Summer swelter
American pie
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
alliteration
how many songs did don mclean sing
173
Day the music died
American pie
Long ago I heard the song that lovers sing to me And through the days with each new phrase I hummed that melody And all along I loved the song but I never learned it through But since the day you came along, I've saved it just for you
4 line stanza
where did the mclean family come from
The West Coast of Scotland and the islands of Mull, Coll, Tiree and Jura.
