Mmm, Secular Humanist Pie

I believe the song American Pie by Don Mclean is a secular humanist worldview. Under God and the universe, I see an absense of God. God has gone away, evident by the lyrics "they [father, son, holy ghost] caught the last train for the coast". Afther "the day the music died " humans are the ones in control. Under Humanity and Identity I believe that there is purpose to humanity. Their nature is to live and die. This is shown when he half mockingly states "do you have faith in God above, if the Bible tells you so? ... Can music save your mortal soul...?" It's almost like he thinks that music can save your soul as much as God can. Under Conflict and Suffering there is much dispair in this piece. The chorus shows this with the lines "bye bye miss american pie..." and "this'll be the day that I die". It seems like because the music has died and there is no God, the point of life is non existant as well. For Hope and Redemption, he believes the only way is to bring back the music. He sings "I can still remember how that music used to make me smile." For Values and Morals, there is no value in love or justice when he sings about "the courtroom was adjourned; no verdict was returned", and "a generation lost in space with no time left to start again" and "I knew I was out of luck the day the music died". Lastly, for Truth and Reality, there is acknowledgment to things other than just physical things but they are used figuratively. It speaks about the devil but that is only to show the connection of God to music and how he fled when it died. I see one of the only absolute truths according to this piece is that the music is dead, and with it many other sared 'truths' like God, justice, love and peace. I feel this piece reflects the secular humanist viewpoint ultimately because of the depressing feel of the song. This inevitably comes out of the atheistic, naturalistic worldview because without God and absolute truth there is no hope.
