“A long long time ago
I can still remember how that music used to make me smile”
Song lyrics, American Pie (1971), American Pie
Context: A long long time ago
I can still remember how that music used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
And maybe they'd be happy for a while.
But February made me shiver
With every paper I'd deliver
Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn't take one more step
I can't remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride
But something touched me deep inside
The Day the Music Died.
My love goes with you.

Everyone went to the sun”

“I am told that there is a proverbial phrase among the Inuit: 'a long time ago, in the future.”
