bye-bye, miss american pie

1. doesnt believe in god, but acknowledges that other people do
"the father, son, and holy ghost,/ they caught the last train for the coast"
2. humans are good, but life is morbid and depressing
"bad news on the doorstep"
"i asked her for some happy news,/but she just smiled and turned away"
3. he (his soul) dies with the music
" the days the music died"
"this'll be the day that i die"
4. hope for the music to come back
the first stanza. his hope is what he can remember from his past experiences
5. he values the music
the whole song. obviously the music was a huge part of his life
6. without the music the world sucks
"i saw satan laughing with delight/the day the music died"
