Don McLean 會來香港開演唱會...

好像很吸引似的... 但有趣的是，Don McLean 除了American Pie 和 Vincent 之外真的沒有其他好歌了嗎？Castle in the Air 呢？Crying 呢？Empty Chairs 呢？怎麼製作單位只懂在宣傳海報上用上頭兩首歌便算？

其實Don McLean有許多歌都很好... 沒有花巧的編曲，但有到肉的歌詞。我們先不論American Pie一般高層次的歌 (我可以告訴你，這首歌背後的含意遠超你我的想像!) 就說一首比較少人熟悉的歌好了:

He's Got You (Music and Lyrics by Don McLean)

I've got your picture that you gave to me
And it still looks the same as when you gave it dear
The only thing different, the only thing new
I've got your picture, he's got you

I've got your letters that you sent to me
And they're still signed with love, just like they used to be
The only thing different, the only thing new
I've got these letters, he's got you

I've got your memory, or has it got me?
I really don't know, but I know it won't let me be

I've got your gold ring that proved you cared
And it still shines the same as when you gave it dear
The only thing different, the only thing new
I've got this gold ring, he's got you

I've got your memory, or has it got me?
I really don't know, but I know it won't let me be

I've got your picture that you gave to me
And it's still looks the same as when you gave it dear
The only thing different, the only thing new

I've got this picture, he's got you

I've got these letters, he's got you

I've got this gold ring, he's got you

不是太長的一首歌，但當中的苦情... 唉...
