Don McLean - American Pie
Verse 1 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
{Refrain}
So, bye-bye, Miss American Pie Drove my chevy to the levee But the levee was dry And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye Singin' this'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die
Verse 2 Did you write the Book of Love And do you have faith in God above If the Bible tells you so Do you believe in rock n' roll Can music save your mortal soul And can you teach me how to dance real slow Well, I know that you're in love with him 'Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym You both kicked off your shoes Man, I dig those rhythm & blues I was a lonely, teenage broncin' buck With a pink carnation and a pickup truck But I knew I was out of luck The day the music died I started singin'
{Refrain}
Verse 3 Now for ten years we've been on our own And moss grows fat on a rollin' stone But that's not how it used to be When the Jester sang for the King and Queen In a coat he borrowed from James Dean In a voice that came from you and me Oh, and while the King was looking down The Jester stole his thorny crown The courtroom was adjourned No verdict was returned And while Lenin read a book on Marx The quartet practiced in the park And we sang dirges in the dark The day the music died We were singin'
{Refrain}
Verse 4 Helter Skelter in a summer swelter The birds flew off with a fallout shelter Eight miles high and falling fast It landed foul on the grass The players tried for a forward pass With the Jester on the sidelines in a cast Now the half-time air was sweet perfume While the Sergeants played a marching tune We all got up to dance Oh but we never got the chance 'Cause the players tried to take the field The marching band refused to yield Do you recall what was revealed The day the music died We started singing
{Refrain}
Verse 5 Oh, and there we were, all in one place A generation lost in space With no time left to start again So come on, Jack, be nimble, Jack be quick Jack Flash sat on a candlestick 'Cause fire is the devils only friend Oh, and as I watched him on the stage My hands were clenched in fists of rage No angel born in Hell Could break that Satan's spell And as flames climbed high into the night To light the sacrificial rite I saw Satan laughing with delight The day the music died He was singing
{Refrain}
Verse 6 I met a girl who sang the blues And I asked her for some happy news But she just smiled and turned away I went down to the sacred store Where I'd heard the music years before But the man there said the music wouldn't play
And in the streets the children screamed The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed But not a word was spoken The church bells all were broken And the three men I admire most The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost They caught the last train for the coast The day the music died And they were singin'
{Refrain}
Bye-bye, Miss American Pie Drove my chevy to the levy But the levy was dry And them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye Singing this'll be the day that I die
They were singin' Bye-bye, Miss American Pie Drove my chevy to the levy But the levy was dry And them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye Singing this'll be the day that I die
Note: I have used the lyrics from Don's own website, though I have never got full confirmation that these are entirely accurate i.e the Lenin / Lennon references etc.

X Japan was like the KISS or Queen of Japan - their live material blew away anything they had done in the studio! Anybody who has seen clips of them can testify that it really is extraordinary seeing these 5 guys whip 50,000+ fans into a frenzy with just the opening chord of "Kurenai." Brilliant.
That being said, their last show as a group together was an emotional one. Nobody wanted to see these guys break-up, and if you see the videos, they all cry at one point or another. After watching them, I sort of did, too.
Despite that, everybody is at the top of their game. Toshi's vocals soar as usual, and compared to the studio works, they aren't as dominating. hide's and Pata's synchronized guitar work are superb as always, especially on "X." Heath may not be a radical as Taiji, but he is an impressive bassist, nonetheless. The real star here is Yoshiki, though. He has not one, but 2 drum solos, and they are an absolute marvel to here. How he managed to play through this entire recording, I'll never know. His piano playing is also superb.
The track list is like a "best-of X Japan" showcase. Each track is either as good as the album version or better. Ballads like "Endless Rain" are made heart-wrenching because of the impending departure. My favorite track here, without a doubt, is "Forever Love." To this day, I have heard more passion put into a ballad than this. It truly is an absolute joy to hear, but is just as saddening knowing that hide would pass away not long after.
If one happens to come across it, I highly recommend you pick up. You don't need to know the language. Music is the universal language.
