I was four the first time I remember hearing this song. I had awoken for the second time to cruel world where grandfathers come to a bed at night for the wrong reason. I was spared because I spoke up. The rawness of growing up in the military with a violent father and a feral mother in shell shock and PTSD was beyond my grasp. Don McClean explained that everything dies, we have to dance. I figured thats why it was upbeat. To teach you how to dance and laugh through the absurdities in life. Don unlocked my shaman, Michael Harner told me that the two things that manifest the word are irreverence and a community calling you a healer. Roberta Flack wrote Killing Me Softly after seeing him play. That story did more for my understanding of music and muse than just about anything.
