Americana at its finest. Don’t get much better than this. It’s a big country and it’s good for your soul to leave the city
I wonder if he understood, as a young man writing a song about a tragic genius from a century before, just how this song would literally resonate and still be relevant half century later.
And I love you so sty Mc
This song has so much depth, it echoed through my house in the 70's forever reminding me of my brother. RIP Jimbo. Thank you Don, some songs are so much more.
Iconic!
Just pure talent. This is was about the death of Buddy Holley among other inuendos floating around at the time in 1971. I was there, lived it so I know all about it.

Das Lied ist so gefühlvoll Man bekommt Gänsehaut auf der Gänsehaut

Belo Horizonte - MG - 25/06/2024 Ouvindo esta obra prima dos anos 80 um clássico que emociana muito. Lembro do tempo que Estudava na Escola Estadual Três Poderes, lembro de um dia ja chegando no final de ano todos empolgados em passar de ano e este clássico que tocava muito na epoca enquanto ainda crianças na pre-adolecencia olhava as meninas e sonhavamos. Outra que muito me emociona e a cantora: Charlene (I've Never Been To Me). Parabens pela linda postagem.
Thank you for this.
Don is a great man!
Every note and every lyric is like a beautiful story, making our hearts flutter.
Don McLean and k d lang have given us the best versions of this Orbison classic. Angels, both! ❤️❤️
I can't believe this.
I just heard castles in the air and you won me over. What a song and voice.
Anyhow I always did love this song! This version latest got me, when both started singing together! This is amazing, gorgeous, overwhelming.
He lost me after 50 years with the mention of Joe Biden and abuse against women…..what a crock.
Beautiful.
Thank you! With all my heart for this Amazing song about an Amazing artist! 💖🖖✨👏🌹
Don, you have composed many great tunes throughout many decades. But this canonization of a criminal is disengenuous liberal drivel. George Flyd was a career criminal who made many people victims of his lawlessness. This song proves your naivete in fully understanding this situation.. Vincent was a misunderstood genius, George Floyd was a felon with no conscience.
I'm here after seeing your interview with Professor of Rock. I often wonder why artists such as yourself don't have the huge following you deserve. Welcome!
This is top shelf comedy mate. Well done, lmao
I like playing castles in the air. Don has been one of my inspiration while in college at Saint Louis University, Baguio City Philippines. I sang one of his song American pie during one of our school event. DON IS A LEGEND!
Ignore the bigots, Don. They're pissed that their white sheets are dirty. 😒🙄
I was alright for a while, I could smile for a while Then I saw you last night, you held my hand so tight When you stopped to say, "Hello" You wished me well, you couldn't tell That I'd been crying over you Crying over you then you said, "So long" Left me standing all alone Alone and crying, Crying, crying, crying It's hard to understand That the touch of your hand Can start me crying I thought that I was over you But it's true, so true I love you even more than I did before But darling what can I do? For you don't love me and I'll always be Crying over you Crying over you Yes, now you're gone And from this moment on I'll be crying, crying, crying, crying, Crying, crying, over you
Beautiful! Song for all hearts❤
One of the most beautiful and touching songs of all time! ❤
This song sucks! This criminal doesn't deserve to have a song.
🎶🎵🎧. ❤ Awesome song.
Quite possibly the best song ever written.. and delivery can only be by the writer..Don, thanks for the beautiful life...and taking us on the journey and emotions as beautiful as you.
" Yes... now you are gone... and from this moment on... I'll be crying..."
George floyd is a terrible person but people were sad about his death and I get it they were probably a lot of family members who loved but what about all the people he hurt and killed what about those people family what about the people who sacrificed there life for other people everyday George Floyd is a terrible person and deserves no respect.
Thanks man. Take care and god bless.
I don't care what is true or untrue about George, or what is good or bad, right or wrong in music, but if you think it's okay for the cops to execute anybody at the roadside, then you have a turd inside your skull.
Nobody thinks that’s okay, people like McLean praising a fentanyl addicted women beater is what rubs people the wrong way
