At the end of 1971 and early 1972 I worked in a nearly deserted 7-11 grocery store in the edge of town working the 3-11P.M. shift. It was dead dark outside and bright inside. With nearly no customers all shift I listened to the radio and anxiously await the birth of our first child. This song played over and over and I loved it. Then January 28, 1972 our Son was born and I will never hear this song without remembering those long nights waiting for my first born to arrive and the joy when I got the call to rush to the hospital. 49 years later it still has the same affect on me.
I love this kind of stories!!!
Great story ❤

Really beautiful comment bill. I wish u those same feelings always.

The day the music died…February 3d, 1959 in a cold, lonely cornfield near Clear Lake, Iowa. Saddest day ever for music. Thanks for this very beautiful tribute. Just wonderful.
Yeah... I wonder how many listeners here (or even Anne??) actually know much about that story. I mean, I wasn't born yet, but... have taken in the story in various tellings... but I could easily imagine someone having missed it.
Perfect. The song is about death of three musicians in 1959 and you managed to keep the voice clean and sad. Not like Madona whoh turned the song into a happy disco. The best cover I have seen so far.
The song is about much more than the death of some musicians.
@@colescott8756 Yes, it is, but it is sad and should remain sad.
Your so wrong. It's about more tha just that. It's about what happened I the 60s
@@AspergersStudio I know, it is about how world changed but it is a sad song, not like Madonna.
It's sad at the start, but wistful at the end. This song came out when I was kid in elementary school, and even at that age, we parsed the meaning endlessly. Somewhere, I have a 1972 newspaper article that my mother cut out that interpreted on an adult level. The adults got more of it than we did, but we kept parsing all the way through high school and got more and more.
Took about 5 seconds of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" to become a complete admirer...
Took you that long.. LOL!! Cheers. What a pleasant surprise!

Me too! subbed and bingeing :)

Beginning on December 19, 1971, this became my favorite song. I heard it on the radio driving back & forth to visit my then girlfriend. I remember it well since it was my first day back home from Vietnam.
I want to THANK YOU for your military service, those were tough times.
Did you marry her?
@@arthurmead5341 Nope!
@@pastorart1974 are u married?
@@cherrybee95 Who is asking?
The best part of your videos? That you really look like you're having fun doing this. Not to mention your talent, of course.
Very true
This is the greatest I've ever listened to
I think she is flirting
Most of the time, its not a talent but really hard work and 1000 tries
Well, the clones at least seemed to be having fun.
Love how expressive you are with your face/eyes while you perform.
Yeah, I'd do anything for those eyes. Well, almost ;-).
And the big smile. She is a cutie.
I always go for the total picture and she certainly has it! What a keeper she is!!! I can dream while I am still married, right??
yeah, I was imagine somthing else with her expression
I cannot listen to this song as you sing it, without being incredibly moved. I cry each time. It just so touches my 65 yr old passions so sweetly. It reminds me that we're in a spiritual battle. Thank you.
I teared up, too!
Damn I fell in love with this song, I was the shy kid In class but I met my girlfriend on math competition and life was great, I started listening to buddy holly and ritchie valens alnd a lot of other 50s RnR, only song that stuck out was this one, I started listening to it becouse the lyrics and it played on the radio thru my first kiss.
We dont see each other no more.
50's Rock and Roll feals more dead than ever.
They dont spin this record anymore.
I said goodbye to my american pie along time ago.
But these 8 minutes like the first time hearing this song.
Thank you from my heart and soul.
You may consider singing Simon and Garfunkel, as they had many songs that were made to be sung as accapella. I believe your voice would be a great marriage to their songs.
So what are you sayin about this one?
Mayortwilleger this song is usually pretty heavy guitar. It’s good, but imagine how absolutely great it would be for a song designed to work this way.
Is the point they were making
James Smith ya I was thinking pretty much the same thing. I would love Anne to sing some Simon and Garfunkel, it would sound great
Her singing the boxer would complete my life
Sound of silence.
4:07 I have listened to this song so many times but that part especially just makes me jump up and cry
That last line gave me chills. No other cover managed that. This is perfection
I enjoy your videos that showcase your musical skills. That said, your voice is the first thing I liked about you and videos like this really shows the world how beautiful it is!!
Such an iconic song, paired with such a talented singer; it makes for a perfect combination!
Jacob Ervin Agreed
Sorry but it’s brava it’s bravo for men and brava for women
Ms. Anne your production quality is just superb!!! This song suits all of your voices. Thank you for every song you do.
I like how you give genuine happy smiles, I could never do that.
Absolutely riveting.
This pop song is one of the few that deserves to be called poetry. Layers and layers of meaning, depths to be plumbed...
And you have given us layers and layers, too. I've never heard an interpretation of 'American Pie' that so ably emphasizes the poetic nature of the lyrics. You gave us soft and fragile vocals; what we usually get in covers is more assertive, more forceful, even happy, but all of that runs counter to the poem itself, which is bewildered, full of loss and defeat. In short, yours is the truest interpretation I've ever heard.
anne, your vooce are one of the sweetest that i've ever listen.
When you sing the refrain, at that moment you are fantastic !!! thank you so much❤️
"The church bells all were broken..."
* ding dong ding *
Wait a minute...
I didn't think I'd like a mellowed out version of this song. I thought it would take away the frustration present throughout it, the overtones of lament, the undertones of anger... Instead what you've produced is something with a sweet sentimentality that was never present in the original version. It's gentler, more passive aggressive, and sadder than what McLean arranged, and I think it's brilliant. Bravo, my friend. Bravo 👏❤
One of my favorite songs done so well. Thank you Anne!
I didn’t expect to be blessed today but then I got this notification.. *Since I found your channel I haven’t heard anyone sing better than your covers*
This sounds amazing! Don McLean would be proud. This is one of my favorite covers that I have heard you do. Keep up the good work Anne!
Wow....... stirs the heart. Beautiful harmony. Thank you.
This lady has a lot of talent. That was wonderful. Thank you.
Yes! Finally a more recent video! Anne I love your work! You make my life happier Everytime when I hear your work. I love Acapella! I'm not that great at it but I try. Hopefully I'll think about creating a channel soon. Keep singing Anne. 🤗 Thank you for making me happy, even if it's just for the moment. It means a lot.
I've always considered "American Pie" to be my favorite song of all time.
You did a really nice cover.
I think if you covered McLean's iconic "Vincent" (Starry, Starry Night), it would turn out very well.
Heartburn? No thank you!
Reburn? Yes please! ☺️😍
I would like to see a cover of "By the waters of Babylon" by Don McClean, as that would really suit the multi tracking you do so well.
John Curtis yessss
John Curtis also check out Jackie Evancho’s Vincent. Really great! It’s on youtube
I can't cease to be amazed by the beauty of all of it. My deepest admiration
One of my very favorite songs of all time and at all levels, this cover is ............... STUNNING.
Thank you for this beautiful rendition of a great song. I've been listening it occasionally through the years, and I usually do something else while listening to music, but for this one, I lay still and completely set my attention to the song, throughoutly enjoying it
Astonishing cover. Probably the best version I heard since the original... And Acapella no less! It was genuinely touching.
Yes this song really shows off all the things about your work that your listeners like the most.
Absolutely amazing.
one of my favoirte pieces of increasingly relevant music. I love you for singing it all the way through.
I have listened to ten thousand covers of this classic in the last fifty years and this, THIS is the very first time I have heard one better than the original and one of the rare few that wasn't absolutely wretched. This is perhaps the most over sung far over covered song in American music history and you have done something I don't think anyone has ever done. You've created with your vocal magic my hearing it for the first time ever, all over again! Thank you for bringing back a long dead memory only even better.
It's that same miniminalistic magic as with Anne's other covers. Strip out the overproduction, and the essence comes out.
Amen.
Thank you for sharing this and keeping good music alive.
This song has always invoked an emotion in me. One of those nebulous feelings you can't put to words, other than it being a lot. I think you quite wonderfully did it justice.
Oh WOW. This is just so unexpected and so beautiful. You've given the song a whole new dimension. Love it.
Honestly, you must send this clip to Don McClean. I know he encourages young talent, and seriously, you are one of the best young acts in the world today. He would love your work.
the very best version of this I have heard, you voice is amazing
Thank you, Anne. This is an awesome cover for this song. A retelling of a great song. Thanks.
Wow, what a fantastic version. And off the complete song. Unbelievable performance.
Beauty and talent. True masterpiece
You've outdone yourself Anne. Bravo
OHG, Anne your talent is unbelievalble! AN entire acapella choir in one really gorgeous young woman! You are awesome. Can't wait to hear more from you. A star is born!
Your music and the way you present is so pure! Thank you for sharing with us!
There is no music actually.
My favorite singer sings my favorite song. I'm speechless. Thanks!
Morlyst yeah this is great isn’t it
I love that every time that song is played the song is reborn again :)
Music never dies, it only changes form
And lives on in our hearts
Shared from one beautiful heart to the next. ... carry on
Your voice reminds me of other moments in my life when I was totally blown away by someone's talent. You're an inspiration my dear. Thanks for sharing!
Outstanding! What a great version of an all-time classic!
If Anne Reburn had the Infinity Gauntlet, *everyone* in the universe would be dust by now. Excellent snapping there, Anne!

@@AnneReburnOH GOD NO
"Mr Stark, I don't feel so good"...
Spectacular, and without ego.
Incredible - the editing and mixing for this level of mastery must boggle the mind. Thank you. Not only a favourite song, but presented with such amazing artistry it brings tears.
WOW! 7-part harmony AND percussion and you make it look soooo easy! Love it!
So somber and beautiful! I'm in tears. You have amazing talent ❤️
This girl has serious talent !!
Best cover of this on TH-cam
Fantastic. It brought a tear or two to my eye, hearing the Anne version of this classic
Wonderful cover of a great song that reflects on such an important era. Thanks for your new interpretation, and for your wonderful harmonies with yourself.
WOW. I can _not_ even try to imagine the amount of _effort_ that was required to make this video. >.<
Your creativity & _passion_ for the art *definitely* shows 😊 (TY)
(And I feel so _guilty_ , enjoying it so ... so effortlessly 🤔)
ingenious 😊
Opening lines gave me chills, you nailed it 💛
hermosa mujer, con un talento único
This is one of my favorite songs of all time. I cried listening to this, I'm so glad I found you! You're so talented
Thank you Anne for making this song special again.
Simply amazing ; congratulation ; a flawless success !!!! 🥰
This is a real masterpiece. So much analysis here to be had. Really love the arrangement, seems more beautiful than the rather sad original, just a flicker of upbeat without overdoing it.
Also the breathing skills required to pull off singing the verses in 1 take, something only a trained vocalist can pull off. They should be using this clip to showcase the technique in schools.
Really liked this one, solid all round production.
We are going to have this song in our Christmas play
Gbsjd
I watched all 9 minutes of this. Your passion is contagious. Keep singing and keep the love of singing. I'm ending my youtube night on this because it brought me such joy.
So happy this was recommended to me when it was. I can always count on your music to cheer me up.
That sounds great. Love your accapella covers.
Oh my my this here Anakin guy, maybe Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry
You have John Boy's chronic lyricosis I see.
😂Yes!!!
Tbh I heard the Weird Al parody as a child and learned it first before I ever even heard the original version
@Anne Reburn oh damn that’s sweet.
Anne Reburn Don McLean said that sometimes he’d almost switch the lyrics around.
Love those tempo changes. The complete video: simple and complex at once. This is exhibit #1 for how to be creative without sacrificing anything from the original.
Beautiful harmonies, Anne! Thank you.
Beautiful. I'm not ashamed to admit that I shed a tear or two.
Very beautiful Anne! I am proud to be your supporter.
Thank you. That song takes me back. Keep up the good work.
Simply mesmerizing.
What a face! What expressions! The word "angelic" comes to mind! Wow!
I didn't even realize there was nothing but you singing at the beginning, cause I was mesmerized! 😍
Yeah by her looks, not her singing because she isn't singing, she's whispering in song.
You sing this opening line on the edge of a whisper. And the video brings me right into watching you perform as though I was listening on the other side of the studio glass. What a beautiful thing it is to hear in the ear. Thank you.
Beautiful and creative. Thanks!
Such a beautiful A Cappella version 👌😃 Fantastic ❤ 👏👏👏
Wow, fantastic, I love it!
Wonderful! Everytime I listen to that song, the mystery of its words triggers back diffenent remembrances of the past in my mind. The lyrics give you a breath of the turbulent times I had the fortune of living through...
Its like " The Summer of 69" - these times never die!
Wow! Bravo. Standing ovation from South Australia.🌷
Hace muy poco descubrí esta canción y estoy fanatizado. La versión original me parecía insuperable, aunque no escuché muchos covers que digamos. Y recién encontré esta maravilla... la voz más dulce, y unas expresiones tan vivaces que te sacuden el corazón . Anne, te deseo el mejor de los éxitos en este mundo que necesita de talentos como el tuyo.
You're amazing, Orchestra Girl, God Bless you !!!
I was feeling down about the things happening today until I heard this! It put a smile in my heart. Thank you !
Simply amazing!
this young lady has a great future‼️she does justice to the songs ❤️.keep em coming 🤛
Impressive... I can't stop listening to you sing.
Simply sublime!
That is the most beautiful version I’ve ever heard. Kudos to you.
It turned out even more amazing than I would've ever imagined. Finding and supporting you, along with befriending you has been one of the greatest achievements of my life. Words cannot express how much I absolutely love this and all the rest of your work. This song specifically has always meant the world to me, my grandmother used to sing it to me when I was very little and I've loved it ever since, it's one of the greatest songs I've ever heard, and your version honestly just lights up my heart.
Yep, she certainly is a fresh breeze.
Wow Chris that comment is amazing :-)
Dude, that was the best possible choice for a song for Anne. I never would have thought of an a capella of American Pie. Brilliant!
Love it! I bet she'd do an amazing Piano Man as well!
Just propose already jeez
Good?? NO, Great?? NO, OUTSTANDING!!!!! YES, love how you did that song.
Simply beautiful.
Thank you for this version
This is one of the best voices I've heard so far. Makes so calm and relax just listening to her. Love it!
Those who disliked this video must be jealous.
Amazing so talented Anne x
Beautiful! one of my favourite all time song , when you sang it i got a full body shiver and ever hair on the back of neck stood up Fantastic job Anne
Really fantastic. Brought some tears out... I love this song
Wonderful. I love it when you record with less technology, because your talent is evident.
The Clones are Back!
I know, so many clones for this song.
Imagine a whole choir of Anne singing the Gregorian Chants.
Darth Vader approves of this song
Another fantastic episode of Battlestar Galactica!
It would be awesome if she did a video where the clones argued with each other!
I think you are wonderful! I love your presentations. Thank you.
Wonderful job Anne! Your voice is so touching. Beautiful!
