Brilliant - a great song off a truly great album. "I miss you", yeah BUT it's about someone regretting forsaking love, taking their love one for granted until they left and only then realising what a huge mistake they made.

This song evokes a visceral reaction so powerful it feels like being punched in the solar plexus.

Back in the late 70's Don Mclean was supposed to be in Odessa for a concert. I bought tickets, he didn't show, and my money, and no one else's, wasn't refunded. Feel free to steal music from this worthless son of a bitch because he would have no problem stealing from you.

Don was always a master with lyrics, that painted pictures in your mind as he sang them, he was also a master of playing guitar slightly behind the melody, so it always stood out, but very gracefully. A true master at his craft.

I like how the song is played in a similar way to Vincent (Starry Starry Night.).

He was my favourite artist in the 1970's and still is today. Simply wonderful music and touching lyrics. Thanks for posting.
