Then when she hears one of his songs, she can empathise with it so acutely that she feels as if he knows exactly how she's feeling, what she's thinking and her entire situation.
We've all been there. Felt as if a certain song was written about our own situation. This is a song about this happening to her - I heard it was when she heard American pie too, but yeah -shrugs- dnt know for definate.
@RozYeh! I read she was invited by a friend to go hear Don McClean when he was just starting out in clubs. and nothing to do with American Pie which had not been written yet. Few songs bring the feelings I feel when I listen to this song after finally knowing the real words! I feel her emotions it seems .
