As I watched him on the stage, my hands were clinched in fists of rage. No angel born in hell, could break that Satan's spell.

More quotes by Don McLean
Helter skelter in a summer swelter.
Don McLean
I am what I do, and that's partly why I don't want to give up singing. But when I can't sing well, I will.
Don McLean
Each thread of life that you leave, will spin around your deeds and dictate your needs.
Don McLean
Drove my chevy to the levee but the levee was dry.
Don McLean
In a sense, 'American Pie' was a very despairing song but it can also be seen as very hopeful.
Don McLean
When people ask me what 'American Pie' means, I tell them it means I don't ever have to work again if I don't want to.
Don McLean
I'd listen to all the stuff that was going on around me and drift off into my fantasies about it. My fantasies have fuelled all the songs I've ever written.
Don McLean
In the autumn of 1970 I had a job singing in the school system, playing my guitar in classrooms.
Don McLean
I'm glad that my music has helped other people as it's helped me. It makes me glad that I did what I did with my life.
Don McLean
And as the players tried to take the field, the Marching Band refused to yield.
Don McLean
Starry Starry night Paint your palette blue and gray Look out on a summer's day With eyes that know the darkness in my soul Shadows on the hills Sketch the trees and the daffodils Catch the breeze and the winter chills In colors on the snowy linen land.
Don McLean
I feel like a spinning top or a DreidelThe spinning don't stop when you leave the cradleYou just slow downRound and around this world you goSpinning through the lives of the people you knowWe all slow down.
Don McLean
Work my hands in the soil, what's the pay for all the toil? Dust for blood, dust for blood, dust for blood.
Don McLean
Jack be nimble, Jack be quick, Jack sat on a candle stick, cause fire is the devil's only friend.
Don McLean
A long long time ago, I can still remember how that music use to make me smile.
Don McLean
Do you believe in rock 'n roll? Can music save your mortal soul?
Don McLean
When I go on the road now, which is less than before, but still more than I'd like to, I think of myself primarily as a singer. Not a songwriter, not a celebrity, just a man who likes to sing.
Don McLean
Every thread of creation is held in position by still other strands of things living. In an earthly tapestry hung from the skyline of smoldering cities so gray and so vulgar, as not to be satisfied with their own negativity, but needing to touch all the living as well.
Don McLean
Faces come and faces go in circular rotation.But something yearns within to grow beyond infatuation.
Don McLean
I like to bring my audience on a journey during my 90 minute concert. I will tell stories every few songs about the creation of a tune etc. and it gives the listener a glimpse inside my songs and then as you get to the last half hour you pick up the pace and work harder and get more into the show. It's all about stagecraft.
Don McLean
